, the film’s reputation has been highly polarized. On the one hand, professional film critics have given mixed comments on the depth of the film's plot and narrative techniques. On the other hand, it has been criticized by ordinary audiences on the logic of the film's plot.
was finally released for less than two days. The Douban score of "The Wind and the Seas" dropped directly from the opening 7.6 points to the current 6.7 points, a drop of 0.9 points, and the cumulative box office in 2 days was only 33.08 million.
So how is this movie, and why is there such a big difference in ratings?
"The Wind and the Waves" is a movie about juvenile delinquency. It doesn't seem to be calm as the title suggests, but it's just the calm before the storm. The story of
is based on the replacement of the college entrance examination recommended place. It tells the protagonist Song Hao (Zhang Yu) who was accidentally involved in a murder case after being replaced by his friend because of the college entrance quota. Choosing to live in a foreign land, Song Hao, who returned to his hometown after his mother died 15 years ago, unexpectedly discovered the truth of the year, and a series of incidents occurred. The
film uses several narratives, and the story can be roughly divided into three parts: The first part of
is about escape, telling why the protagonist Song Haowei escaped for sin. The second part of
is about family affection and love. Song Hao, whose mother died and went home for funerals, saw a different father in his eyes. He originally planned to leave this gloomy place early, but accidentally ran into love. The third part of
is about revenge. After knowing all the truth, Song Hao is determined to break with everything in front of him.
is very clear from the main line structure of the movie's story, but there are still many loopholes in the logical details and the motivation of the characters.
Like a typhoon and rainy days, the door of the villa is not closed, why Song's father went to the wrong door, and the motivation to go up to make up the knife is not particularly sufficient, and love is also very fascinating, how much does the hostess Pan Xiaoshuang love Song Hao? It has been 15 years for Song Hao to wait so madly...
Generally speaking, many details and plots in the film cannot withstand scrutiny, and the relationship between the characters is indeed lacking.
first-class acting skills, first-class photography, and first-class soundtrack, this is the film evaluation given by most audiences. The plot of
"The Calm Sea" is indeed controversial, but the film’s style, dubbing and acting skills add to this film. A lot of points. The style of the
film is very layered, and the music is just right in terms of mood and atmosphere. The oppressive style and dark colors in the film complement each other in the perfect combination of these two.
, such as Song Hao and Pan Xiaoshuang’s warm pictures of their true feelings at the toll booth, are very artistic.
And the actors’ acting skills have also won unanimous praise from the audience. Zhang Yu also performed the melancholy, dull, and desolate inner drama of the protagonist Song Hao in the early stage, and the explosive drama of loss of soul, confusion and collapse in the later stage. Song Jia played the role. Pan Xiaoshuang’s fiery enthusiasm has become the highlight in the film, and the love sparks she and Zhang Yu collide with are indeed surprising.
plays Wang Yanhui, the father of Song Jianfei, who has a complicated inner world and a ruthless character with hidden scheming. He is also very accurate in controlling the details. As a senior old drama player, such a role can be considered easy for Wang Yanhui.
In addition, Li Hongqi, who plays Li Tang, has a face that is more evil than righteous, allowing him to get closer to this role. The stylized performance allows the audience to see a different villain.
The performances of the newcomers Deng Enxi, Zhou Zhengjie, and Gao Yuhang in the film are also very exciting, especially the actress Deng Enxi, whose performance in the play is very surprising and amazing.
As a post-00 actress, Deng Enxi, who has just turned 15 this year, has no weaknesses in the play against a group of powerful actors. In
, she plays Wan Xiaoning, the daughter of the victim Wan Youliang. Although she does not have many scenes, she has a strong appearance and a desire for family and affection. In between, althoughIt may still be immature, but it is also quite brilliant, and it really surprised me.
Speaking of Deng Enxi can be regarded as an "old drama bone". She has just turned 15 this year, and it has been 5 years since her debut. During the period, she was in "Suspect X's Dedication", "The Unknown" and "Hello," "Zhihua" has had wonderful performances in the web drama "Chinatown Detective", and now his performance in "The Wind and Waves" also makes people more convinced that this handsome and acting young actor will have a better future.
"The Wind and Waves" is quite satisfactory as a whole. The film revolves around the analysis of the human nature of the young protagonist Song Hao before and after the crime. It exposes the dark side of the world through the intricate relationship and fate of the characters, which reflects many social hot spots, and its meaning also triggers The thinking of each audience.
