If I let you enter my dream, it will also become your dream. This is " killed a sheep ". Director Wan Ma Caidan, producer Wang Jiawei, top configuration team, and the only Chinese film that won the official awards of the three major film festivals in 2018, ended in a dismal box office. In recent years, many good literary and artistic films have ended up on the screen. This film is adapted from "Killer" by Tibetan writer Tsering Lobu and "Kill a Sheep" by Wanma Caidan himself. , Interprets us a song of revenge about the Tibetans.
Jinba and Jinba, two people with the same name, , have completely different personalities. On this vast and uninhabited Tibetan highway, an ordinary and ordinary driver, a killer who had endured revenge for his family for many years, just met. The film adapted from the two novels actually interprets two stories. The sheep that crashed to death was the cause of everything. The killer Jinba has had an obsession for many years, and that is to find the murderer who killed his father. But in the end, he gave up this obsession after seeing that the enemy had a wife and children. This is the end of this cycle of revenge in Tibet. The tragedy of fate ends in this generation. While Jinba forgave others with compassion, he also let go of the struggling self in the world.
The sheep that was killed by accident, the driver Jinba chose to end the life of this poor sheep by overwhelmingly. Obviously owning a whole sheep, I chose to buy another one. From this behavior, Can see the compassion of the driver himself. This super journey is a journey of salvation for the driver Jinba. With a kind heart, the driver Jinba helped the killer Jinba let go of the past.
Everything in the world has its own causal cycle. The revenge of the Khampa Tibetans is blood debt and blood.But revenge will only lead to a cycle of tragedy in the end. To a certain extent, the two Jinba are completely complementary. The death of a sheep, and the end of a person's life, on this road of charity, the spiritual journey of the two reached a perfect unity. Was it really the sheep that came suddenly on the side of the road that was killed? In fact, it was Jinba himself who was really killed. This redemption is two-way. The killer Jinba found his own way, and the driver Jinba got rid of his sense of guilt and drove forward. .
In this movie, the story is just the most insignificant existence, a story that can be described in one sentence, and the metaphor is the most subtle but worthy of reflection. The driver Jinba and the killer Jinba, the two have never met each other, it is like the life of the same person, at an appropriate intersection, they have gone to different branches. To a certain extent, the two people represent the self in parallel time and space, but they also allude to one person, two aspects of human nature.
The power of faith runs through the film. When the self in the dream merges with the self in reality, is the picture we think of as a dream really a dream? No one knows what the ending of this story is, what the truth of the dream is like, all the secrets are hidden in that revenge, and the sunglasses that have never been taken off indicate that all actions are distorted.
The overall style of the movie, with a strong color of Wong Kar Wai, the absurdity and reality are intertwined, an open story that takes place in the mysterious Tibetan area, the color of the real world, the black in the memory Entangled with white, the fantasy-colored gold in the dream, and three space-times, this is a journey of dreams. In the fantasy, you will eventually achieve a greater self. The composition of the film itself, the design of light and shadow, the symbolic metaphors, and the shaping of the characters are all perfect, and the final elevation of the theme enhances the concept of the entire film. When the absurd dreams,Shining into reality, everything seems to have lost its color, but everything is shining in the sun again. Everything in the world is absurd, and we need such a charming and thought-provoking film, and hope that good films will be seen after all.
