Feng kuang de shi tou

The whole film opens with a close-up of the face of the hero, bao shihong. The lens slowly changes from black and white to color. At the same time, bao shihong appears in the eyes of the audience with an indescribably facial expression.

If you really like to watch Chinese movie, if you really want to know what exactly the best Chinese movie should be, please don't watch 'Shi mian mai fu' (House of Flying Daggers), 'Ying Xiong' (Hero), or 'Wu Ji' (The Promise), but do not miss this movie: 'Crazy Stone' which would tell you that Chinese movie industry still have hope, and the new generation start direct their own movie, which is totally different as previous generation ( zhang yimou, chen kaiguo) in china.

Givingyourself ten minutes watching this movie, after that, you will find that you are watching a movie which is very similar to the British movie 'Snatch', the director Lin Hao using the same way, Guy Ritchie used in 'Snatch' and 'Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels', but the movie reflects the true living situation about plebeian in china. This movie fills with black humor, admirable scenario, and dialect (CHONG QING, CHENG DU, GUANG DONG, and QING DAO). Now it is the hottest movie in china this summer.

Review. Not to mention, this film can really withstand the test, and it's not something that can be summarized simply by imitating Garridge or multi storytelling. In particular, the characters in several groups are not only functional entities that create laughter points as structural stories, but almost every character portrayed has a clear and distinct personality that closely follows the main storyline with prominent laughter. They are also close to life and reflect reality, which is rare. In this regard, stones are actually better than firearms. The most valuable thing is not treating the audience like fools. Domestic movies all point to shooting like this, okay.

The film is full of Chongqing dialects throughout the film. The dialects are spoken very authentically, which makes them very funny.

The stories inside are linked one by one, and when you read it, you can't help but praise. It's too coincidental.

The Baotou played by Guo Tao is very interesting, with joy and worries of small people, and insists on justice in his heart. Protecting the jadeite was because he felt that he had served as a policeman. It was also to keep the factory from closing down and wanted to make money to pay back the debt.

Among them, he has a lot of competition with a series of thieves. He handled the complacent, entangled and irritable emotions as a security guard against thieves particularly well.

Another interesting point of the film is the comparison of a group's attachment to jadeite and the misjudgment of true and false jadeite. It really confirms a sentence: the value of a thing depends on its location. So false is true, true and false, depending on your attitude towards it.

The popularity of this movie in China is quite logical: black comedies to the extent that this movie has gone are still a novelty and it is quite well done. If the movie makers have been inspired by only one "foreign" movie, it would probably be "Lock, stock and two smoking barrels", as someone has already mentioned. But of course they have seen a lot more, many of which have been reflected in this movie, as intentional parodies or otherwise.

"Crazy stone" has a somewhat convoluted plot, which is not necessarily hopelessly complicated. All it requires is a little attention. Filming technique and editing is not as avant-garde as some of the classic which have become familiar by now – Pulp Fiction, Memento, Amores perros, 21 Grams, just to name a few. There are just enough sleight-of-hand montages to keep it interesting. So does the proliferation of characters – a least a dozen, in four or five "interest groups". Dickens' type caricature or more flesh-and-blood, they are all well acted.

Together with my recommendation, I would like to mention one interesting thing that captured my attention – filmmakers shooting a movie in Chongqing seem to be fond of showcasing the cable car across Chang Jiang (Long River). Saw one recently in another quality Chinese movie, "Sheng huo xiu".
