Poems in a Book/Dream
Breaking the Wind, which is based on a bicycle race with a minority theme, is a commendable highlight of the film, but these highlights can only flash for a while, and can't form dazzling light. Fragmented competition and abrupt love lines make a strong breaking wind turn into a breeze.
Just like Guild Wars, with the forerunner of similar themes, Lin Chaoxian once again partnered with Eddie Peng Yuyan's handsome boy's sunny image, only this time it evolved from boxing to bicycle competition. The theme of Breaking the Wind still has the positive energy transfer that blends sports and dreams for people, and the sports film mode from dream to failure to rise and cheer up. Although it has been old terrier dialect for many years, such a vein can always be seen under the blood. This time, the spirit of "breaking the wind" in content may not be the first one, but also the best one in one's post. The positive energy of team cohesion has been given the film a pertinent lens aesthetics in the repeated competitions in urban streets, desert yellow sand and seaside shores.
For a passionate sports film, it is obviously the most important whether it can be coherent in one go. However, Breaking the Wind has connected the whole competitive process with several bicycle competitions in a fragmented way, which depends on the director's hope to better combine lens aesthetics with bicycle competitions, and also hope to make this film a sports blockbuster. However, this method needs an absolutely extraordinary rhythm control and editing, but this is what this should be like.
Youth and blood are often accompanied by the auxiliary line of love, but when this movie, which is pre-sports-centered, has too much petty and lengthy love, it will undoubtedly have an unavoidable impact on the overall structure of the film. The love rendering among Wang Luodan, Eddie Peng Yuyan and Dou Xiao is so lame and far-fetched in Breaking the Wind, and Lin Chaoxian seems to have no idea how to integrate a love with a fresh taste of the desktop into a sports. When sportsmanship and love can't get a reasonable fusion point, the imbalance and confusion are destroying this classic story structure again and again, which also makes the spirit that the film wants to convey move people, but it can't form a torrent. The failure of love line has become a hard criticism.
On that fast track, young and frivolous, but passionate and persistent in pursuing dreams, is in line with Eddie Peng Yuyan's handsome sunrise image. Breaking the Wind is at least a sincere work with a breeze.
