Film Name:零度极限/Snow Dance,Snow Redemption
Many people love skiing. In this season when there is no snow to ski, you must watch 《Snow Dance》, not only can you enjoy the audio-visual spectacle of wind and speed through the footage taken at the main Winter Olympics site, but also through the wonderful drama, you can feel the spirit of struggle embedded in snow and ice sports, as well as those little-known perseverance and touching feelings outside the track.
No love, no snow and ice! At the beginning of the film, the unique charm of alpine skiing is shown to the fullest. In addition to the challenge of speed and passion, the athletes must also have the perfect technique and full concentration, just like the sword fairy duel in martial arts novels, where the victory or defeat is only between a split second and a millimetre. The audience at the foot of the mountain and the sound of the live TV broadcast are even more dazzling.
Surprisingly, the film doesn’t tell a story of “victory” as it should, but rather goes against the grain and starts with a “defeat” to find the true meaning of the sport. Han Geng stars as a top athlete, Ling Feng, who is severely punished for his impulsive counterattack during a competition that resulted in an injury to his opponent, and faces a bottleneck in his career and his self-confidence has hit rock bottom. He returns to the place where his dream began, the snow park where he trained during his childhood, and wants to see his master again, trying to temporarily get away from the dispute of victory and defeat and to find the love that he used to have.
A bit of a road movie, the audience follows Ling Feng’s perspective, along his journey, to meet a series of characters, here are some skills are not high, life is not all smooth, but still have a passion for skiing young people, there are unfulfilled ambitions every day to keep in the coffee shop reminiscent of the past, there are also many with curiosity to learn skiing children, in the body of these people, can be refracted not only the living Skiing is like a kaleidoscope that opens up a familiar yet unfamiliar world.
None of these characters are flat and thin so-called tools, each has a real life and emotions. For example, Jiang Wu plays the master, from the year when people ruthless words not much to Ling Feng training to become a talented ski teacher, to the teacher and disciple after the antipathy in the restaurant with pots and pans for the cook, his strict appearance, there is the perseverance of the original heart, the training method of thinking, and the former love of the silent attention of the apprentice, Jiang Wu with superb acting skills, presenting layers of the spirit of the world, so that the image of a respectable trainer in the big The image of a respectful coach comes to life on the big screen.
Wu Jing as a retired professional player is also impressive, when a reckless teenager inadvertently destroyed the sports career, but did not become resentful, but in an unexpected way to the “enemy” to motivate, although the film did not go to show his journey over the years, but gave the audience a lot of space to feel, can vaguely imagine his pain and suffering. Although the film does not show his journey over the years, it gives the audience a lot of room to feel, and one can vaguely imagine him getting up and rebuilding his life in the midst of pain and loss. Wu Jing’s tough-guy temperament is a perfect fit for the character, and aptly illustrates the spirit of skiing.
The stories of those young people who are the same age as Lingfeng are even more empathetic to us. Zhang Yuheng, played by Yin Fang, always insists on his love for skiing as an amateur, and dreams of one day going professional; Liu Xianda and Yan Zhuo Ling play siblings, who face the pressure of reality, and find their family in skiing, and all the characters come together to make the whole film colourful and stimulate both the passionate and the heartfelt. touching.
