Look at that person, he looks like a dog.

The missed gem of the summer movie: A man and a black dog.

Including "Dog Array", there are excellent works with released prisoners as the protagonists, such as Zhang Yuan's "Homecoming for the New Year" and Xie Fei's "Birth Year". You have to admit that Li Bingbing once had the potential to become an acting school like Jiang Wen. At that time, literary youths always mentioned Zhang Yuan and the Sixth Generation, focusing on individuals and marginalized things. Of course, everyone can talk about Wong Kar-wai, but talking about the fierce Sixth Generation, which blooms outside the wall and smells fragrant inside the wall, seems to be really in some ambiguous foggy scenery. When writing, you have to talk about human nature and dignity.

Of course, the most symmetrical film with "Dog Array" is not the two films mentioned above, but "Kara is a Dog" directed by the late Lu Xuechang, starring Ge You. Like "Dog Array", the titles of both films can actually be called "Missing Dog", or we can simply call them: MISSING DOG.

"Kara is a Dog" is gentler, but it still clearly shows the difficulties of the second brother played by Ge You in his life situation and the process of his dignity constantly decreasing when facing life. It also talks about the expensive dog license, but why a mongrel dog would become the spiritual pillar of a middle-aged man? This very concise story has a sentence "Only in front of Kara do I feel like I am a bit human", which is a bit poisonous; similarly, in the cruelty of the dog-beating gang leader played by Jia Zhangke, a man who accidentally caused death showed the most basic compassion and tenderness in cruelty.

After Peng Yuyan was kidnapped by capital, he hadn't acted so hard for a long time. Until this time he was silent, this silence contained a power that was not exaggerated, which made the equally simple plot tight. Combined with the decline of the northwestern town, combined with Tong Liya who passed by in her life, combined with the sound of broken dreams, combined with the liberation of the zoo, the hidden story tension pulled out a sense of trauma. Until Peng Yuyan used his fingers to apply white wine to his father's lips and then removed the tube for him. After experiencing two deaths, after everyone formed another "dog formation" and watched the magnificent total solar eclipse on a similar hill, some light finally penetrated into life.

Jia Zhangke’s acting is still able to “add finishing touches” to the market.

Jia is a real talent in acting. Like Zhang Yimou and Feng Xiaogang, he often has brilliant ideas and finishing touches. At a funeral dinner, Peng Yuyan stood up several times to toast Jia, but the rhythm deviation that missed perfectly perfectly was a perfect metaphor for this gentle man, who was incompatible with the temperament of a small town in the northwest. Sometimes, you just have to muster up the courage to answer Tong Liya's simple question "Do you like me?" and then say: "How I want to jump in the car and leave sad Taipei."

Guan Hu's strength lies in letting Peng Yuyan interpret and release male hormones, grasping a moderate rigidity of life between softness and hardness. Of course, you will say that the ending is not bad. Tong Liya looked at her phone and did not send a message after all. As for what Peng Yuyan's motorcycle was pursuing, it didn't seem to be that important - he just couldn't continue to watch the total solar eclipse in a small town in the northwest with those performance artists. There is a kind of relief there, and something like divine revelation brought by all the events encountered in life.

This is what Jia Zhangke said in an interview. One day, he was in Fenyang County, and suddenly a roaring plane whizzed past his head. What do you think hit the young man at that time? He felt that he had to leave, and he didn't have to take a plane. Even if it was just a motorcycle of the same model as Peng Yuyan, and there was a dog in the bag, it was actually not that important. I think the hidden sentence here is: As a passer-by, you can't always let the world pass by you. Maybe you really have to take the initiative to pass by the world. In a nutshell: open up.
