After the craze of "Crazy Stone", I have been looking forward to another low-budget, high-return movie that could once again appear before the audience. A while ago, I saw a movie called "Glorious Anger" in China Film Report. At that time, I thought this name was very strange so it has been on my mind.
Yesterday, when I was browsing the Pig Pig Cinema Forum, I discovered the seed of this movie, so I quickly downloaded it.
The film's dialogues are all in Yunnan dialect. Except for the male lead Wu Gang, the rest of the main characters are mostly played by local people from Yunnan, who speak authentic Yunnan slang in the movie. The story of the movie is very simple, with a pure and straightforward plot. What interests me is a kind of state. That is the cunning, hesitation, panic, and even tragic state presented when a tiny individual struggles under strong oppression. This state is very vivid, and I like it because it has texture and is real!
This movie wants to tell us that oppression and being oppressed are an inevitable part of human existence, just as love and being loved inevitably exist. It's just that under different groups of people and different environments, the quality of its presentation varies. "Glorious Anger" portrays a group of very insignificant people, but the ways of oppression and being oppressed are not insignificant.
