For "Powder", I have a lot of thoughts in my heart, but I don't know how to write. This is a film with a strong critical character
, taken in 1995. Before that, Hollywood movies experienced a movement back to tenderness. "Powder" uses a symbolism to tell people that the world does not allow the so-called pure existence at all. If you want to survive, then you have to be in harmony with the people around you, and there is no other way. In domestic movie websites, "Powder" is described as a science fiction movie. I don't think this division seems to be true, or to fully express the full intent of the film's creators. This film, shot in 1995, uses symbolism to deeply analyze and criticize human nature, despite its
It looks a bit sci-fi, but I think it's actually a literary drama about human nature. A woman is about to give birth. on the way to the hospital
, she was unfortunately struck by lightning. In the hospital, she gave birth to a baby boy who was all white. The child's father was shocked, thought the child was a monster, and abandoned it. This child is the protagonist of the film Powder. For powder skin tones, some sites call it the result of albinism. This is obviously not the whole truth. Powder's simple life has been completely overturned. He found himself being used. He hoped to escape the shelter, but was caught again. Powder can probe into the depths of the soul of all life. This made powder even more miserable. During an outing organized by the school. The deputy sheriff of the community leads a group of students to hunt without permission. They hunted a wild deer. The dying wild deer looked sad and desperate. All this was seen by powder. He couldn't face the cry of a life struggling on the edge of life and death. He rushed over, grabbed the Deputy Sheriff's hand with one hand, and stroked the dying deer with the other. Fear ran through every pore of the deputy sheriff, who cried out for help and wept bitterly. because he is now
It was a fawn, a fawn whose life was about to be taken violently. The film gives the audience a strong shock through this peculiar and dreamy way. The deputy sheriff stopped hunting for this, but was full of hatred for powder. Later, powder helped the sheriff to communicate with his long-term comatose wife, and resolved the long-standing grievance between the sheriff's father and son.
After all, powder's good days did not come, and he decided to leave secretly. Unexpectedly, on the way to leave, he was attacked and insulted by his classmates again. They deeply hated the powder in front of them and hoped to get rid of it. They insulted powder in the most vicious language, stripped powder naked, and threw it into a puddle. Powder's humiliating eyes did not exchange for restraint and sympathy. He finally broke out. Powder used the power of lightning to stun the person who took the lead in insulting him, in fact he just wanted to get rid of that person's entanglement. This scene is really sad. It rained heavily, and a kind child was attacked and humiliated by his peers. It is not so much a physical conflict as a conflict and collision of the soul. Behind both sides stood the raw simplicity of life and the terrifying force of the world. Children are manipulated, their original kindness is gone, replaced by hate. They can't wait to shred the powder. What makes hatred take over people's souls?
