There are few road films in domestic movies. After all, we haven't popularized cars for many years, and even fewer people are labeled as criminals. No man's land is Ning Hao's most ambitious work, and Berlin Golden Bear also mentioned it. In recent years, I have been more involved in supporting new people, but my own director management has regressed. No man's land has a strong moral. Most of the characters in it have no names, more like symbols. For example, the boss is an out-and-out demon, the poacher is a wolf, the lawyer is a monkey and the prostitute is a fox. Their animality and humanity are exactly what the director wants to explore.
In the past ten years, looking back at the only qualified crime film in China, I really hope this genre can be more brilliant. Don't mention this genre in another ten years, and pull out the no-man's land. The film was officially kicked off by Xu Zongheng's prologue. There are traps everywhere in the uninhabited barren land. Poaching gangs are rampant, and they use the natural geographical advantages of uninhabited areas to escape the police. The gangster killer who poached in the northwest (Bo Huang) caught Alatai Falcon, a rare bird from two countries. When he was about to drive away, he met the policeman who was chasing him.
Thieves and hunters in Bo Huang were caught by the police. Bo Huang was handcuffed and put in a police car. In Bo Huang, after driving on the highway in no man's land for a period of time, the boss Zhan Tiejun knocked down a police car, saved Bo Huang, let Huang Bo escape with the eagle and reported the case to the police. By this time, the policeman was already dead. At this moment, Pan Xiao, a famous greedy lawyer, appeared. As the lawyer of Zhan Tiejun, the eldest brother of poaching, he spent 10 hours by train and another 3 hours by carriage to help Zhan Tiejun with his lawsuit.
Lawyer Pan Xiao, with his solid legal knowledge and eloquent court defense skills, successfully helped Zhan Tiejun, the boss of poaching, clear his name. After his release, Zhan Tiejun promised Pan Xiao to pay the balance after 10. How can Pan Xiao, a clever lawyer, believe such a person's words? They all received the evidence and drafted an agreement. Both sides signed their names and pressed their fingerprints, so Pan Xiao took a red car of Zhan Tiejun as collateral. Thus began a battle in no man's land.
