Jie jiu Wu xian sheng (Saving Mr Wu) (2015)
It means, how one should not eat dumplings!
The
story is about the kidnapped film star by four criminals disguised as
policemen.
This is
the only one cooperation between Dig Sheng and Andy Lau, also the
first cooperation on the line Andy Lau and Qianyuan Wang
Fim was
nominated at the 3 film festivals and won Chinese Film Media
Awards 2016 for
Qianyuan Wang as Best Supporting Actor.
The work
of all film crew members deserves the highest attention. This is the
make-up artist's work, which from a handsome actor makes a repulsive
bandit, a costume designer's work (Cao Yangui) that emphasizes the higher social
status of Mr. Wu. It is also the work of the music author (Lao Zai),
which is dynamic and interestingly engaged, and finally, most
importantly, it is the work of the montage (Ding Sheng) and cinematographer (Yu Ding).
The single frames focus on seemingly irrelevant details, while their
assembly resembles a gun rifle, which together gives an amazing
dynamic and unsettling effect, and this is the motive of this film
The
scenes in which Mr. Wu tries to establish a personal relationship
with the kidnappers, referring to their sense of propriety, also a
deeper relationship with the second hostage. This character of a
simple boy is very moving and well played by Cai Lu.
It is
hard not to laugh when Mr. Wu in the moment of life threat asks to
wash the cup before drinking water - it is for me to maintain dignity
in difficult and unfavorable conditions.
Ye Liu
and Ruofu Wu, who play policemen officers, are very credible and
convincing both, in addition, in the case of Xing Feng (Ye Liu) shown
an attempt to reconcile family and professional life. Was if
succeeded or not?
The film
keeps in suspense until the very end and one can predict that the
film ends well, but one must watch the movie up to the last scenes.
The
scene of the liberation of both hostages captures the throat and
squeezes all the emotions outside - because of this scene, it's worth
seeing the whole movie.
