I watch "Barclay"

Watched the 2019 Brazilian movie "Barclau" today. It won the Grand Jury Prize in the main competition section of the 72nd Cannes Film Festival.

The movie is roughly divided into two parts. The first half shows the local customs and customs of South American towns from the perspective of the heroine who returned from afar people. But the film did not make this point clear), a story of fighting violence and defending the homeland.

The filming is full of tension and the...

South American Western, the fierce contradiction between backward villages and urban development.

4 stars, South American style westerns. The plot is quite simple. In fact, it is the villagers who resist the brutality of the mayor with human face and beast heart, but the process is worth thinking about. The mayor pretended to be hypocritical and failed in his plan to defraud the villagers, so he hired mercenaries to kill all the villagers. The plot seems simple and crude, but it actually reflects the politicians' unscrupulous efforts to achieve their goals, and the current...

A glimpse of South American culture

A very peculiar movie, the overall plot is similar to "Hunting", but it has more cultural perspectives than the latter. In order to highlight this point, the film does not hesitate to lengthen the story. The first half is almost mistaken for an ethical film, and it turns a few times later.

No matter in reality or in film and television works, South America does not seem to have much presence. In my personal impression, South Americans have neither the Anglo-American wisdom derived from...

Anti-ancestry of future human beings

The movie starts out pretty normal, and it's not uncommon for a clan leader to die, beginning with a funeral death. When I saw that flying saucer-shaped drone, I was stunned, and then I was ravaged by the strange plot going crazy. After seeing the end, I found out that this is an anti-ancestral ceremony for future human beings, a violent carnival.

Abandon the Brazilian political status quo reflected by the director and just watch the plot of the movie. This allegorical...

Killing the Barren Village (Bacurau, 2019)

1. Killing the deserted village (Bacurau, 2019), we can know when we talk about the killers from these American emperors (the leader played by Udo Kier means that the Nazi nature is inherited from the hegemony of the United States). They are bloodthirsty. Their strong destructive and killing behaviors come from fun or low self-esteem. Some of them are born in split marriages and humble workplace managers, and some just like to play guns. In the life and death relationship, Even a female...

Two stars... half? The rhythm of the plot advancement, the mysterious atmosphere, and the narrative techniques of the specific scenes all ensure a certain degree of visibility, so that you will not realize how boring it is until you finish reading it. I will just say something like this level. (Theme comes first) Those who try to use types to wrap political metaphors all seem particularly naive and funny in front of Johnnie To. Tucao, if the subtitles are only translated in one language (when...

[C] The bland rhythm, mediocre violence, and moderate political orientation all together constitute such a boring movie. Fierce? Psychedelic? straight to the soul? All I see is the rigidity of the overdesigned story and the ruthless rejection of myself...

I don't know if you have noticed that these tropical and subtropical regions including North Central South America and Southeast Asia (recall "The Raid") have a special spiritual temperament. When they restrain the unrestrained enthusiasm known to the world, they turn to conflict and violence. It's easy to enter a state of cult chilling when you are in the middle of nowhere. In other regions, the front and back parts of this film are easily disjointed in style. Under the strong influence of the...

9/10. Some magical (science fiction) weird, like this kind of movies that are a little unclear, and some WTF moments can justify themselves. Quite tasteful... South America is fascinating. Seen at the Cannes Film Festival....
