      Between despair and anger

      * This article was first published in ELLEMAN and also published in DeepFocus.

      Puerto Rican director Miguel Arteta’s new work is too responsive and chilling. After the premiere, Vanity Fair gave such a title-the dark and hopeless "Bitteritz at the Dinner Party" is a "perfect" film for the United States under Trump's leadership.

      After the screening, there was enthusiastic applause. Except for the excellent quality of the film itself, the dilemma faced by Bitritz in the film or the...

      Guess what color the flag is

      The director of Puerto Rico, the heroine is a Mexican immigrant of Lebanon and Spain, discussing the new immigrants of American natural health massage therapists during the Obama administration, and a dinner party with AMERICA FIRST Trump's economic development mogul.

      A small theater drama-style short film, completed a propositional composition of no less than 800 words, related to neighbors and goats, Mexico Grand Hotel and mangroves, protest groups and developer oligarchs. The rich...

      I don’t like it anyway, it looks awkward

      The director may be trying to compare the tall Doug to the current Trump, whose arrogant interests are paramount, in contrast to the Mexican ethnic group represented by the weak female protagonist.

      But the film is really awkward. There are rules in the adult society, and the heroine's behavior itself has crossed the line, which constitutes an offense to other people.

      I will only throw my anger on others like a shrew, this kind of trick is really bad and low

      This is not...

      Circle dilemma [irrelevant videos are purely personal blind records]

      As a family doctor, Bitlitz participates in the family's private social life: I thought to myself, whether as a hostess or Bitlitz, I would not let this happen, let alone make it worse. But for drama, conflicts always have to be sharper, and small contradictions should be taken under the mirror if they are caught. Background, class, concept, position... these interconnected kinds are the flint and flint between people. Once the restraint of comity is lost and the force is too strong, the...

      Put aside the plot and just talk about the composition

      Aside from the controversial plot, I found that the director deliberately arranged the first half of the film.

      For example, the following screenshots: The female protagonist Bitlitz is in the middle of the screen, with his back to the camera, out of focus. On both sides are white people who are more than half a head taller than her, really focused. It makes people feel the oppressive feeling of racial discrimination.

      After watching the whole drama, I think kathay is very innocent, and he is also a rich and good-hearted person. The heroine has a good heart, but it is too violent to deal with problems. What is the difference between killing doug with brain supplement and doug? Sitting on the flight back to HK from South America, I recognized at a glance that the heroine's hometown is South America, the familiar...

      I actually only watched it for 30 minutes because the weird guy from the plane neighbor kept talking to me. . . And the plasticity of the peerless Salma Hayek is really...

      Talking about the powerlessness of the poor in this capitalist society, but also the poor can't let go of the so-called benevolence, righteousness, morality and humanity, so they can't fight the rich's ruthless and immoral heroine. She wants to be a virgin and let the rich self-repent, but the result is not taken seriously at all. In the end, only self-destruction out of...

      At the end of the dialogue between the two classes, the heroine swims back to the lake in her childhood, although it has been destroyed...

      If the assumption at the end is true, this film will be amazing. The heroine's eyes that see through all the hypocrisy are very good, but the words are too hasty, and the overall atmosphere of the film is too contrived, which makes people feel a bit...

    Movie plot

    Bitritz ( Salma Hayek ) , who immigrated to the United States from Mexico , is an ordinary physical therapist. Once, she went to a wealthy family for a massage for Mrs. Casey ( Connie Britton ) . Because the car broke down and couldn't return home, Casey invited her to stay for dinner. That night, Kathy's husband Grant ( David Warshofsky ornaments) for the hospitality real estate businessman Doug ( John Lithgow ornaments) and held a...

    Evaluation action

    The protagonist Bitlitz has made too many ignorant mistakes, and almost all the contradictions in the movie are brought out by her alone. Although the film's setting of her identity can be used as the reason for her to refute Doug repeatedly, but she ignores Casey's actions such as stopping Doug and throwing Doug's mobile phone, etc., it is too dramatic. The film used a considerable amount of space to show the world of Beatrice, to...
