Feng kuang de shi tou

The new narration of Chongqing dialect, the classic lines with black humor style, the unique narrative skills of ring and ring, the absurd and logical plot, as well as the montage technique, timely Peking Opera and other music, constitute the crazy stone directed by Ning Hao

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.

Just when i gave up on Chinese movies, there came the Crazy Stone. It brought me so much fun and made me to regain the hope for the Chinese movies. Never would I consider any liberal and entertaining stuff, such as the Crazy Stone, coming out nowadays from a social context that was tightly controlled, like the Chinese political environment.With a brand new vision the young and open minded director Hao Ning, again, showed us his talents of convincing over people's pockets and their hearts. The director, simply like anyone else, sees the craziness in today's China and has the urge to express his and also everybody else's bewilderness, coz everybody is so lost in front of the money. people do not know where they are and where to go , more crazily, they do not have the rights and power to know about it, so why do not people just make fun of the whole madness, isn't it what China all about now, chaos and craziness... ...

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".

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.
