What makes Hoh Xil the most successful film of Lu Chuan?

This film has brought us shock and visual feeling that we have never seen in his other films. The restoration of real events and the reappearance of real scenes, let's take the lens back to the beautiful Hoh Xil. What's more, Lu Chuan didn't play cards according to the routine in characterization, and used popular actors to interpret the film. In order to seek more realistic effects, Hoh Xil got rid of the shackles of commercial films and expressed the most real life and inner feelings.

The film only takes 18 days to connect the whole story. There are several people: retired officer Tairi, the captain of the mountain patrol team and the team members. Together, they fought to the death with the militants in such bad weather conditions and natural environment, even at the expense of themselves. Everyone used courage to protect the Hoh Xil area.

The narrative of the film is very natural, and it doesn't care about bedding and cohesion, and even feels that it is not bound enough. However, the intention of scene composition, scene scheduling and lens editing perfectly makes up for the above minor problems, and vividly presents the struggle between man and nature, good and ugly. Only those who have seen it can appreciate the shock that hits the soul. From this movie, I have some admiration for Lu Chuan.
