      Control, control and control - "Dogtooth"

      I saw this film from the list of a certain public account. I decided to watch it when I saw the name, because I wanted to know what dog tooth is... After watching the film, I still have a backseat. Cold, an indescribable feeling.

            The film describes a strange family, the father and mother of this family do not know what is wrong, and insist on isolating one of their sons and two daughters from the world. You say they don't love their children. Dad still spends money to find...

      Brain-inspiring director "reactionary" film

      It's serious nonsense, and it's hard to guard against scaring people. This is my intuitive feeling about the Greek director Ougs Lansmos's film.

      "Lobster" directed by him became popular in China last year because it was promoted by some marketing accounts on Weibo on the eve of Singles’ Day. It was introduced: In the future, people who are single will be a crime and will be arrested and forced to spouse. The time limit is about to become an animal of your choice, and it will be called...

      .

      They lock up their children in isolation and shape them in the direction they want. But can people be controlled? Has anyone completely figured out how the brain works? As if everything was out of control. When people who want to control other people's brains can't justify themselves and start contradicting themselves, they will definitely go in a direction they can't control. Licking the soundtrack to change the headband, only after the canine teeth fall, can the car go out the door, the...

      Heavy taste! ! !

      The three children in the film reflect people's various mentalities in the face of power and the different fates that result. My sister is more curious and courageous. Such people often suffer the most, but only she can escape and see the outside world. Boys are the stupidest and most obedient, and their brains have been washed the most. He can't see his own pathos at all, so he occasionally has "good fruits" to eat. The younger sister has a tendency to lie and be violent, and these people...

      "Dog Tooth"
      is another masterpiece of totalitarianism, and it is also a Palme d'Or. So I decided to use words to relieve this frustration.

      In fact, the level of the film is in the imagination, and it did not exceed expectations. It is different from the passionate and intuitive of "The Wave". It is indeed more poetic, it is the kind of cold, straight poetic. Using a family to carry such a strong theme fully places people's sociality in such a small space and intimate...

      We are born as human beings, but we have forced dog teeth in each society. We all live in cages, but you look at me and I look at you. We seem to be free. We knelt down and licked foreign keyboards, and we rubbed boas to each other. We thought we had an orgasm, but we were masturbating in the deep valley. However, there are always people who are born to be rebellious. To break your own dog's teeth, to break the superstition. In fact, when we break into pieces, we are already dogs, but if we...

    Movie plot

    A family is closed by their parents. The three children in the family have grown up in this closed environment since they were young, and have been isolated from the outside world. In order to deceive their children, on the one hand, the parents fabricated the lie that their "brother" ended up miserably outside, on the other hand they lied that they could not go out until the children's "canine teeth" fell off. In this closed...

    Evaluation action

    The film is full of grotesque, absurd and human distortions, which gradually turned people from sneer to fear. The premiere at the Cannes Film Festival caused great controversy in the audience. At the same time, it was nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. Although there are many jaw-dropping scenes in the film, the distorted mind of the film is like a dark fairy tale in the adult world. In order to preserve the...

    • Son: Mom! I've found two little zombies.

    • Father: The animal that threatens us is a "cat". The most dangerous animal there is. It eats meat, children's flesh in particular. After lacerating its victim with its claws, it devours them with sharp teeth. The face and whole body of the victim.

    • Older Daughter: Do you know what Dad will do if he finds out I lick your keyboard?
