What's more disgusting than shit?
love.
Quentin's "Pulp Fiction" is not only a classic of black humor, but his shooting style has also made subsequent directors of the same type follow suit. "Love is a bitch" is a black comedy with "Quentin style". The filming method is divided into plots, and several groups of stories are carried out at the same time. The characters seem to be unrelated, but there is a certain connection. They meet at a certain moment, so that the whole story can be skillfully connected.
Ottavio and Ramiro are a pair of poor brothers. Ottavio has always loved his sister-in-law Susanna. In order to get away with her, he uses his dog Kefi to go to an underground casino for dogfights. The money was handed over to Susannah for safekeeping, but Susannah ran away with the money and Ramiro, while his dog was shot and killed by his opponent, Charlotte Chu, who was so angry that Otavio stabbed Charlotte with a knife. Chu suffered a serious car accident while being chased by them.
The popular actress Valeria fell in love with a married man, Daniel, but unfortunately suffered a severe fracture in a car collision with Otavio. Every day, she could only be with the dog Ricky. One day, Ricky accidentally fell into the The hole in the floor of the house never appeared again, and it became the last straw for Valeria. She began to put all her grievances on Daniel, and the injury to her leg did not improve. A leg was eventually sawed off, and the two were silent when they returned home.
And Chivu, a homeless who witnessed Otavio's car accident, took his money and his dog, Coffey, and brought it back to life in the chaos. Chivu was a university professor who wanted to be a partisan when he was young. He left his wife and daughter, but went to prison unexpectedly. After being released from prison, he became a professional killer. He was entrusted to kill a businessman. On the way to follow, he found that the lover of the businessman was his daughter. All the money he saved was kept at his daughter's house, and he started a new wandering in the land of Mexico.
The whole story is guided by "dogs", Otalia uses Kefei as a tool for making money for love, Valeria finally collapses because of Richie, Chivu adopts many stray dogs to fight loneliness, what the director wants to reveal There are too many topics, and derailment will pay the price: Otavia lost her love and dog, Suzanne lost her virginity and husband, Daniel lost her family and his imaginary love, and Valeria lost her charming capital and self-confidence . Maybe foreigners also believe in retribution. When your plan goes against the principle, then you must be willing to be punished.
What should a mature man be like? Ottavio is obviously not. He fantasizes that he is a savior, a god who saves Susanna from suffering, but when he plans for the future with full confidence, he does not find the torment Susanna endured. A woman arranged by fate, her husband is not good to herself, but she has no plans to leave him except complaining to Ottavio. According to her, it is to make "God laugh and tell him your plan", she represents It is the women who are the most among us, the girls we may dream of the whole world, but once we get married, there will be more and more stones that hinder ourselves. She can't abandon her children, she can't betray her husband, and she can't live without a family. The mind maintains the shape of the body, but the heart has already become a woman and is aging.
Valeria is charming, such a woman is no match for anyone else. She likes the spotlight and can't go unnoticed. Even if she becomes a third party, people can't bear to blame. I think of Xu Fan in Feng Xiaogang's movie. The big star didn't want to be a star because it was annoying, and finally found that she couldn't live without being a "wrist". Valeria also couldn't stand her cold reception, she was no longer the center of people, her pride Her love has always been pursued by others, but now she has lost her biggest capital. Perhaps that good skin is her only capital. She became a grudge, and we found out that beautiful women are just like us. She is so fragile that she is so fragile that if you push her lightly, she will be doomed.
We always love to venture out when we are young, and we always feel that the invisible scenery is inexplicable and unpredictable. Once we have love, it is no longer a luxury. My life is too crowded. Many dreams left space, and Chivu chose to conquer the world and abandon his family. He failed, but he did not choose to pester his remarried wife. He chose to disappear by himself, but we all know that there is not a day when he does not want to be reunited with his family. , the picture of his daughter hanging on the ceiling betrayed him, "I wish a new day starts with seeing you", loneliness is terrible, it smells like formalin, even if you smell it ten thousand times, you Still can't get used to it.
The Chinese title of the movie translates to "Love is a son of a bitch". In fact, a more direct statement is that love is a son of a bitch. It is so vulgar and direct. Love is a bitch. When you want to have it, it will refuse and welcome you. , when you want to get rid of it, but you find yourself unable to stop, in fact, we are all half "bitch", when each other finds their other half dirty soul, they can go to hell, and finally walk into the grave called marriage .
At his brother's funeral, Ottavio once again begged Susanna to go with him. As you can imagine, he was waiting at the station for the woman who would never answer him, just like his naivety, ridiculous and pitiful.
Chivu left a recording of the phone call at his daughter's home, asking her for forgiveness. At this time, he was no longer a cold-blooded tramp, he was just an old man who didn't do his father's duty. He could kill a person in three seconds, but I can't have the courage to say a word to my daughter.
Love is mysterious, charming and base.
