1829/5000 I think Diao Yinan's Wild Goose Lake is one of the best crime and noir films of 2019. The film is about a group of motorcycle thieves in the Chinese city of Wuhan who are organized to steal a motorcycle. The two groups get involved in a part of the city that is divided between the groups, and the story of the film begins here. Another name for the movie is Meeting at the South Train Station. The opening scene of the film is the meeting of two central characters of the film at a train station on the outskirts of the city. The film is about Chinese society. Zhou Zhenong, a hesitant but obsessed man in a group fight - one group trying to destroy another - accidentally kills a police officer with a gun. The film cannot directly dominate China, but the film's main character unwittingly confronts the regime. A ruler who has nothing to do with solving the problem of marginalization, prostitution, gangsterism, and gangsterism, he just wants no one or group to oppose him. He does not want to question his dominance and authority. The movement of the camera in buildings and long staircases, narrow alleys and doors, each of which opens to an unknown destination, reveals the complexity of the formed social flow and at the same time symbolizes the main character of the film. It has stepped on dark paths and crossings. It is true that Zhou Zhenong has left his wife for five years for unknown reasons, but when he sees that the government has paid a large sum of money for his arrest, he tries to reach out to his wife and child by surrendering. . He is not a fool. Like all of us, he is an ordinary person. His previous film, Black Coal, Thin Ice 2014, may be more powerful in its entirety than the film itself, but the Wild Goose Lake is full of great sequences, with lighting and color changes that also show the character inside. They also help create spaces. "The social issues facing China's society today have provided fertile ground for the growth of such films," said Diane Yinan, director of the Cannes Film Festival, about the film The Wild Goose Lake.
