abstract
There is also a scene of a policeman chasing a thief in Mashan in Looking for a Gun, but the transportation here has improved, especially cycling. This scene is personally satisfied by director Lu Chuan. Different levels and angles are full of humor, and the lens language is also full of charm.
The landform reflected in Looking for a Gun, a quiet and tidy Guizhou town with steep terrain, is not only a visual spectacle, but also a special image modeling language. Its deep paths and ancient houses naturally blend into the narrative and become important narrative elements. The film music is messy and diverse in style, which is a powerful annotation for the whole film form to be restless and unrestrained and release the original passion of life.
