无人区与《疯狂的石头》三条叙事线索、《疯狂的赛车》五条叙事线索不同的是,《无人区》中宁浩将首次尝试单线叙事。影片以男主人公开车去西部的一段旅程为背景,在路上不断地遇到形形色色的人,从而发生一连串的离奇故事。宁浩表示:采用单线叙事结构,要将故事讲的精彩会更难一些,着重挖掘人内心的情感,这也正是《无人区》最大的挑战。 No man’s area and the “Crazy Stone” three narrative clues, “Crazy Racing” five narrative cues is different, “no man’s land,” Ning Hao will try for the first time single-line narrative. The film to the hero driving a journey to the west as the background, continue to encounter all kinds of people on the road, resulting in a series of bizarre stories. Ning Hao said: With the single-line narrative structure, it is harder for the wonderful stories to be told, and the excavation of the inner feelings of the people. This is exactly the biggest challenge of “no man’s land”.
