What's the evaluation of the movie Bullfighting? Does it look nice?

Bullfighting is a film starring Guan Hu's directors Bo Huang and Yan Ni in 2009. With this film, Bo Huang's acting skills were recognized and he won the Best Actor Award in the first Golden Horse Award. Look at his performance in the film, no matter his expression, movements, including every look, it is a play, and the title of best actor is well deserved.

At the same time, the film was nominated for seven awards. Although advertised as a comedy, I think it belongs to black humor. It makes people think deeply with a heavy expression and makes the audience read a deeper meaning. In the end, they couldn't laugh after reading it, but it was true that they would cry. Regardless of the evaluation, this is undoubtedly a good movie. Can become a good movie, which is memorable. I think there are three reasons.

First, the theme is unique and reveals human nature.

The background of the story is War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression. In this particular social background, people care about their own survival and interests, and selfishness is more or less reflected in everyone.

Just like the elder in the movie, the widow Jiu-Er married Niu Er and forced her to achieve her goal. The original intention is to keep yourself out of trouble. Cows milked cows to help refugees, but the refugees wanted to eat meat, and the bandits' reaction was unreasonable. These are the dark sides of human nature, real and sad. The existence of Niu Er is the only warm line in the whole movie. He kept his promise. After Jiu-Er's death, cows became his spiritual pillar.

He is timid, but he is also great. His quality is what most people lack in this era, which may be the core of the film.

Second, black humor makes people think deeply.

The film uses black humor, and the lens is full of cool and dull atmosphere. Although there are not many pictures of war, the influence of war is far-reaching.

In this closed small mountain village environment, people's indifference, ignorance and selfishness are vividly portrayed. Niu Er finally came to the People's Liberation Army, and the vague notes also proved his ups and downs. After many years, he still feels that it is his mission to protect cattle, which is his greatness. Timid as he is, he still feels it is his responsibility and obligation. Niu Er lives with a cow. He thinks he is a cow. The last choice is him and the cow.

Perhaps it is this simple idea that can keep him kind all the time. After seeing too much ugliness of human nature, he chose to stay away from right and wrong, which may be an escape choice, but who can say it is wrong? There may be helplessness and disappointment in Niu Er's laughter at the end of the film, which makes people deep in thought. The choice between ugliness and goodness of human nature is always between our thoughts. It is actually very good to be kind and stick to ourselves, as long as we are firm in our hearts.

Third, the casting was successful.

Bo Huang is one of the reasons for the film's success. He won the Academy Award for this film. There is no doubt that a man and a cow have become his spiritual pillars from disgust to the end. Every interactive scene is a play, and it is also because of his own happiness. Even the story of the war background makes this film not too dull and critical.

Bo Huang's role is not a hero, but its influence is enormous. His presence brings a sharp contrast to the whole movie. Jiu-Er, played by Yan Ni, is the only one who dresses brightly from beginning to end. She represented the freedom that women yearned for at that time.

Since ancient times, the concept that men are superior to women has remained in this society. In this village, women are also humble, and widows are even more reluctant to be mentioned. Old ideas and some selfish and indifferent people are the inherent characteristics of that era. What we see is not only a movie, but also a microcosm of the whole society.

In a word, a movie with meaning can make people understand. I think this is a good film and it is worth seeing.
