1905 movie network news Directed and starring, the Cannes double-prize film is currently in theaters.At the 77th Cannes International Film Festival, the film won the best film in the "One Focus" section and the "Golden Palm of Dogs" jury award. The story of the redemption and rebirth of one person and one dog in the film is easy to understand and full of power. The core of the film’s message of "daring to step out of the comfort zone and dare to start again" reaches the hearts of the audience.
Recently, the film revealed a set of stills of Jiro and the black dog "redeeming each other". Peng Yuyan played Jiro and the black dog, from the beginning of not knowing each other, to huddling together to keep warm and snuggling each other, redeeming each other in the lonely reality. Two souls with "mirror destiny" outline the wordless company between humans and dogs.
The story of "Dog Formation" takes place in a small town in the northwest region. The desolate scenery on the Gobi desert, combined with Peng Yuyan’s original performance, rendered the film’s "uninhibited and wild" temperament. The director Guan Hu rarely uses close-ups, using "large panorama" and "long shots" to record the true appearance of the northwest region. This "quiet and restrained" audio-visual technique highlights the film’s "lonely" atmosphere.
In the film, the mutual redemption of Jiro and Black Dog also resonated widely. Some viewers commented: "’Dog Formation’ is not an ordinary pet movie, Jiro and Black Dog do not have the saying that one is attached to the other. On the contrary, they are two independent individuals who inspire each other and redeem each other." Jiro is labeled as a "parolee", Black Dog is labeled as "rabies", and two incompatible souls are attracted to each other, which makes people see the touch of wordless company, and also makes people more shocked by the power of life.
In the movie, Jiro returned to his hometown after leaving his hometown for more than ten years, only to find that everything here had long been different, familiar and unfamiliar. The residents of the town kept moving out, and the hometown lost its former vitality. In the face of the human society of the town, the silent Jiro also seemed difficult to integrate, and the friends who once formed a band no longer mentioned their dreams.The confusion, search, collision and re-departure of Jiro in his hometown aroused the resonance of many audience members. Some audience members lamented that "everyone who is adrift will have a moment when they return to their hometown and feel the same way about Jiro."
In the eyes of the audience, "Dogs" is not a "dramatic" story, but a "real life" that can make people empathize. At the end of the movie, Jiro failed to cross the broken bridge, but regained his smile and sped in relief on the wilderness. The audience expressed that they were deeply moved. "The ending of the movie is real and powerful. In the face of changes in the environment, Jiro maintained his inner self-consistency and found a new way out in the wilderness of life. Very touched."
The movie "Dog Formation" is directed by Guan Hu, starring Peng Yuyan and Tong Liya, and is being screened nationwide.
