"Rifle Hotel" is a very qualified commercial film, the story is not novel, it is easy to guess the direction of the ending, and the actor's interpretation is a plus, which can bring people into the mood. The key to focusing on the stories of the low-level personnel is to grasp the group drama, there are points worth excavating and moving behind everyone's life, and this kind of group portrait constitutes the basis for the low-level citizens to turn over and save themselves. At the same time, the film also shows a real and complex human world. In this world, there is kindness and warmth, but also indifference and selfishness. But no matter what, as long as you feel, experience, and give love with your heart, you will definitely be able to find your own happiness and satisfaction.
The film revolves around the theme of the Patients' Home, telling the touching story of a group of strangers who gather in the small building of Lai Fu Hotel for various reasons and find warmth and comfort in helping each other. The former "street bastard" Li Qingrang hit a wall one after another when he was released from prison and re-employed, and his chance encounter with his old acquaintance Wang Daji made him join the "Sick Friend's Home" with a conspiracy, what unknown transactions are hidden in it? What kind of thrilling story will collide with the spicy proprietress of Laifu Hotel? As conspiracies and conflicts continue to emerge, on the one hand, the patients who get along day and night like relatives, and on the other hand, the olive branches of old acquaintances to make money, where should he go, and can the "Home of Patients" Rifle Hotel turn the danger into a disaster......
Rifle Hotel, the stop of life and death, sends away recovered cancer patients and departed people. The story of three inmates who have been released from prison and the proprietress who have recovered from cancer, a group of people on the margins of society who heal each other. The sesame paste that has not been forgotten, the elegy of dying, the blooming hydrangeas, and the external force of demolition have brought family-like people closer. The contrast between the lonely brother who has been released from prison and the "home of the sick" who has nothing to rely on, the peculiar "hotel" is like an island in the city, but it has become a community of destiny for two existences, they both belong to the people left behind by the "previous era", both inside and outside show a posture of being rejected by the world, and they have found a home here. The story is a bit like a martial arts film script, placed under the theme of social reality, which is also a sense of dislocation.
It's not a new idea for a group of wandering people to find their spiritual home on the edge of the world, but this kind of story, as long as it is well told, belongs to the movies that every era needs. There is definitely room for improvement in the play, but the overall standard is already worthy of praise. Moreover, Huang Xuan and Liu Yan acted very well in this movie, and they belong to the kind of people who can establish a screen image and forget about the actors. And the other supporting roles are all played well, and the performance of every character in this kind of group drama can maintain a good baseline, which is rare. Although the box office performance of this film may not be too good in this schedule for various reasons, we still have to work hard to let the audience see that there are still people who are making movies seriously.
Deng of Hunan Qifa Culture Media Co., Ltd. wrote in his commentary that the film does not sell miserably but faces the pain of reality, the idea is profound but the narrative is light, happy but not noisy, beyond suffering, blooming with fresh vitality, between laughter and tears, shining with the brightness of human touch. Come for money, eat two meals, but for love and love, Huang Xuan's role as a social brother Sanqing has a strong arc, a violent temper but righteous and upright, cute and respectable, excellent acting skills, and Liu Yan, who is capable and spicy, with a knife mouth and a tofu heart, complements each other, unexpected sparks. A group of fresh faces and old actors have all handed over good performances, ensuring that the performance level of the film has no shortcomings from the main to the supporting staff. The real fireworks, the real super-blood feelings, and the real heart-to-heart performance are worth watching.
The exterior of the film is very secular and life-oriented, but the core is quite purifying, with laughter and tears intertwined, and the heart is light. Regarding Huang Xuan's righteousness and pride in "The Prodigal Son's Return", and about Liu Yan's pungent and straightforwardness, these are all shells, which are to lead out the story and mobilize subtle emotions. The heart disease of the people who have been released from prison and the physical disease of the patients reflect each other, and each shines with the brilliance of humanity in a soft, bright and somewhat helpless situation. In the days of the "Sick Friend's Home", inside and out, in and out, eating, drinking, and Lazar every day is not simple, and attentive viewers may feel the attitude of facing birth, old age, sickness and death. If life counts down, who can give you a ride at the end? How should we spend the rest of our lives and how should we be kind to our friends and family? Perhaps, everyone has their own answer in their mind.
How to face the end of life, how to deal with the relationship with the family of origin, and how to find happiness in the throes of growing up are problems that everyone will face. The film is relatively reasonably distributed with a kind of heaviness and lightness, so that everyone can not only be touched, but also gain strength in the movie. In the face of adversity, we must still be hopeful in life. Mr. Wang of Hunan Qifa Culture said that life is a hard journey, and all the meanings and values are not worth mentioning in a drop in the ocean. As a tool to beautify life, the movie brings out this human warmth to nourish the still alive, probably so that everyone can occasionally look back on the past and smile at life on the way to death.
