A few days before watching this film, I accidentally browsed to a death video website. Out of curiosity and the purpose of measuring my psychological endurance, within two hours, I watched hundreds of paragraphs about accidental death and cutting throat. Real scenes such as murders caused a trance and a lack of thought for hundreds of hours later. When the bass strings at the beginning of "Born to Kill" sounded, I had a faint awareness that I could get rid of that depression.
From Wheels run over scorpions and wild dogs scramble for deer carcasses. The images of wild animals have been intertwined with the killings of Mickey and Melalie before they were imprisoned, explaining that all our crazy behaviors originate from the instinct of the biological world, which is in line with heaven and earth. The objective law of survival of the strong eaters is natural and unquestionable. The interspersed sex means that the lens calls for the viewer's inner evil desire (no wonder the old thief Stone said that this film is to stimulate people's desire to kill). In In the first half of the film, there are two plots worth pondering. One is the place where the off-road cyclist was killed. It seems that in addition to promoting the ruthless destruction of the real world by the murderer, it also reveals the concept of impermanence. The so-called death is coming without warning. The other is the murder of an Indian old man. Just like Melalie was sexually assaulted by her father, it turns out that Mickey also has the shadow of the broken atmosphere of domestic violence in his childhood, which makes people feel that the director intends to distort people's childhood The encounter was revealed as the seed of adult evil, and when the adult Mickey killed the old Indian man who was the leader in the confusion of his mind, he refused to explain, returned to the place of no cause, and went completely on the road of murdering his father and mother.
Prison is a place for brainwashing. In addition to enjoying torture, Mickey seems to have thought about life here. The bright top of his head even adds a sage of wisdom to him. A prison riot. In front of the TV camera, he made a justifiable defense for his killing. Whether you admit the absurdity of contemporary social relationships or not, the sentence "This is fate, I was born XXX", is like a fortune. .In the prison riot, the bloody killing scenes are exactly the same as some of the real death videos I watched a few days ago. The movie discloses the internal causes and subjective feelings of the killings to you, and shows you the murderers from a distance. Operation process and results.
At the end of the day, the whole film is about the killing instinct of man and the provocation of this instinct by the social order. When I realized this, I found that the things I mentioned at the beginning of this article are no longer tumbling in my stomach, they have been digested It's gone.
About Quentin:
Two geniuses of different ages have become gossips for fans of the film because of their fight, aside from Quentin's arrogant style of Stone and the envy and hatred of the film's great success Needless to say, just comparing the original script with the finalized film, you will find that Quentin, who is skilled in playing black farce, re-introduced the fate in the script is diluted by the sarcasm of Stone, who is accustomed to showing his sharp taste. The main differences in methods are as follows: 1. The order in which the history is placed. In the script, the acquaintance of Mickey and Melorie eloped after they were imprisoned, while in the film it was thrown in front of us early. 2 .A minor but important part of the script is missing from the film is the plot where Mickey confronts and stabs the witness in court. 3. The end is also the place where the creator's attitude is most obvious. Ghostly escaped gang shoots, and in the movie it's the idol-killer couple who have a litter of chubby babies and live a life of their own.
On the horns:
Harrison's forehead speaks more than his eyes Highlighting his wild and uninhibited character, his tightly pursed lips also give him a hint of determination. Mickey's role should be Woody in Stone's heart. Except for the evil bastard, he is most suitable for this kind of cold and cruel appearance. A character with a tough and loyal heart.
Lewis's performance also shines with some brilliance under the training of Stone, but he is still in a subordinate position (a woman's position) in this pair of murderers, with a firm machismo. Neither Stone nor Quentin will give Melalie too much space to gallop.
If this film is viewed as a comic, Tom Lee Jones' performance of the grim and sullen warden is undoubtedly an overdone character. Several of his rants seemed a little too forceful. The officer was the best performer outside of Harrison, and he played the role
of a traumatized pervert.
The more exaggerated the performance, the more the creator's hatred of the modern media led by TV.
About the other two films;
The similarity between "Gladiator Club" and "Born to Kill" lies in the common theme of the film. That is, dissatisfaction with the existing order and the purpose of awakening the world through violence.
