Character evaluation

Huo Meng is not a director with strong style and obvious label. He is not limited to a certain constant expression habit. In the film "pass Zhaoguan", he has excellent control ability, full and rich images, smooth scheduling, beautiful pictures, and successfully glowed the brilliance of non professional actors, all of which make "pass Zhaoguan" have a high degree of recognition in the film. Although the film emphasizes emotion and talks about some heavy issues, the director deals with it in a calm and restrained style, and finally spills romantic feelings in the realistic tone, reflecting the real humanistic care, which is not only about the individual, but also about the times. At the same time, director Huo Meng, in the process of stitching up the cracks between individual, history and era experience, skillfully discusses life and death in road chat, observes history in personal memory, touches trauma in emotional collision, and carries out narrative practice of returning to historical memory. Finally, the film can not only immerse itself in a warm emotion about yesun's journey, but also jump out of "dedicated to yesun" The personal memory of "Ye" has become a careful review of the memory of the countryside and the nation (1905 film network, Dahe Bao, contemporary film).
