      It turns out that wearing a sweatshirt to freeze to death in the Arctic is not a romantic thing

      "This depressive Sunday / We are discussing the method of suicide. 
      You  said that taking drugs is good / I said that it is very hard to do gastric lavage in case of death. It
      is too painful to cut the pulse / I can't accept it. 
      Burning charcoal / You and I agree with the most comfortable method. / But it’s too negative and sad 
      You say it’s better to freeze to death / Wear a sweatshirt to freeze to death in the Arctic, 
      I am  full of joy / I propose to travel to Finland...

      I hope I can see you every time I die————The middle review of "The Wrist Cutters' Paradise"

      It is another successful independent film and another successful road movie, mainly relying on the plot to win! The lighthearted and humorous style makes the original deep and grand theme of life so intimate.
        From religion to philosophy, from IQ to emotional intelligence, this film keeps ejecting some bizarre but also things that we often think of when we are in a daze. I don't know what many plot directors think in it, but I am sure That is the entrance created by the director to...

      A lighthearted little tune~

      When I first saw the name Wrist Cutters' Paradise, I wasn't sure what it was talking about, but it still attracted me. In the process of watching, I found that it is a process of finding love, just like the English subtitle, a love story. At first, the male protagonist should have cut his wrists and committed suicide because he was desperate for love. Later, he came to a very realistic and a little fantasy world. He met a buddy who was a bit ruffian and weird. The whole family committed suicide...

      Here, there, lost

      The woman who kept saying that she had strayed into this fallen paradise was called Mika. She liked chewing gum and wore a red sweater. The man who committed suicide for love was called Zia. Music accompanies him as he cleans the room, blood, lots of blood, ironically the last glimpse of him before he dies in unclean, carelessly neglected corners after he thought everything was neat and tidy; and a bohemian rock Man Eugene, dramatic OR comedic death, who lived with his whole family in this...

      Great for suicidal people, much more effective than a slap in the face.

      This is my favorite, most intimate movie I've ever seen.
      The interesting places are as follows in order of appearance....

      Do you need to clean up your room before committing suicide? Do people who commit suicide tend to be cleansers? When I saw the fur in the corner at the last second before I died, I felt like I couldn't run to clean it up.

      Hot girls and muscular guys also commit suicide, and after committing suicide, they still like nightlife and boring games....

      I wanted to watch it under the banner of black humor, but when I watched it, I realized that it was an alternative road movie. In the end, I realized that it was a love movie. Fortunately, there was no heavy-duty rendering of love. Fortunately, it was only 88m. The life of the various suicides I like very much, like all road movies, the bland narration, leaving the scenery of the journey to the audience to experience, the original sound +1 (the road movie still loves Paris,...

    Evaluation action

    The film is a fusion of road movies, love stories and black comedy styles. It is a warm sketch full of black humor and a romantic comedy full of fantasy. The structure of the story is not complicated, with suicide as the beginning of the film and return as the end of the film. The director told an old-fashioned love story with a unique perspective and technique. Although the story is old-fashioned, the emotions conveyed by the film...

    Movie quotes

    • Kneller: Once upon a time there was a crooked tree and a straight tree. And they grew next to each other. And every day the straight tree would look at the crooked tree and he would say, "You're crooked. You've always been crooked and you'll continue to be crooked. But look at me! Look at me!" said the straight tree. He said, "I'm tall and I'm straight." And then one day the lumberjacks came into the forest and looked around, and the manager in charge said, "Cut all the straight trees." And that crooked tree is still there to this day, growing strong and growing strange.

    • Eugene: Cute? That's what they say about the puppy. The only thing worse is good friend, or nice person. In plain English it means I'll leech off you as long as I can, but don't even think about getting into my pants.

    • Zia: They went to the North Pole or whatever the place Nanuk is from is called. He wanted to meet her family and get into that throat singing, saw playing, weird instruments, and all that stuff. It's good that he's back into music, I think. And me? I think I finally understand what Kneller was trying to say.It only happens if it doesn't matter. It comes without effort. Maybe Eugene's right. Maybe I only get stuck on girls I don't have a chance of being with. I am glad for Mikal, though. I hope she got her visa all straightened out. I mean, she did say she'd be right back. Then again, Eugene's old wisdom is when a girl says that, she never does actually come back.
