Savage Tales

Ever since I watched "Two Smoking Guns" and "Snatch and Steal", my understanding of black humor has always stayed at the level of Guy Ritchie, expecting all the sporadic pieces to be pieced together into a witty original appearance. But "Savage Tales" shattered my previous perception, using six absurd short stories to play "sarcasm" in the palm of my hand.
The first story is quite short and concise. Just as I was chewing it over and over again, the camera stopped abruptly at the diving plane. I can't help but applaud the idea of ​​the idea, because the "culprit" who maintains all the characters has never appeared from beginning to end, and he fully executes his revenge plan from the perspective of God. Give me time for a song and I can kill everyone who has bad intentions for me, even my parents.
The second story takes place in a restaurant. By accident, the waiter encounters his enemy, a sinister and cunning politician. Wandering between reason and emotion, on the edge of morality and impulse, the waiter hesitated. At this time, another older waiter kept adding rat poison to the fries and stabbed the guy with the ugly face to death. The life experience of the old woman is left blank, and it is inevitable to keep a certain curiosity about her past, and I think of Raymond Carver's minimalism.
The third story is a little nonsensical. It is obvious that the trivial matter of "tolerating the calm for a while, and taking a step back to open up the sea and the sky" eventually led to a tragedy of death. Our civilization cannot stand scrutiny and tests. Perhaps we are well-dressed and seem to be completely separated from the barbarism and violence of primitive society, but hidden behind the illusion is an unfading admiration for force. The scene of the car accident where the two embraced each other was identified as a "crime of passion", which really added a playful touch to the story.
The fourth story is my favorite, and it's a wonderful mockery of the government. Engineers face the double whammy of losing their jobs and breaking up their families as they complain about parking fines. In the face of unreasonable demands, the common people have no one to protest the system, but to endure it silently. This is by no means the attitude of democracy. The repeated towing behavior angered "Little Blast" (the subtitle group was naughty), and finally he chose to use his strengths to benefit others, that is, blow up the trailer point. If our words can only have the effect of spitting stars, then using violence to control violence may be the only way to attract attention.
The fifth story made me understand the omnipotent properties of money, it seems that everything can be settled with money. When a rich family's children hit and run under the influence of alcohol, someone will immediately take their place. Of course, it is out of interest. Next, it evolved into robbery by lawyers, police officers, and housekeepers. This is definitely something I didn't expect. What is the fairness of the corrupt operating mechanism? What is the intelligence quotient and dignity of the people who collectively open up the black?
The CP "Love" index of the sixth story is comparable to "Gone Lover". It is said that there have been endless love and kill combinations recently. It takes a lot of courage to deduce a wedding into a farce, just because I saw you (Little San) one more time in the crowd, so the bride got angry on the rooftop to talk to the strange man, and used the declaration "until death can separate us" to induce the groom to vomit, Blood splattered with bare hands, Xiaosan. If you think it will end in tragedy, then you are very wrong, and the newly reunited kisses wantonly, but this may be the beginning of another tragedy...
The animals in the title reveal the "bestiality" of "humanity" On the one hand, to quote an apt phrase - individual madness is an anomaly, and collective or national madness is the rule. As for the small partners who think of Malaysia Airlines, anti-demolition, Yaojiaxin, T3 explosion and Shenzhen car accident top package, the fact that the phenomenon can be seen everywhere is self-evident.
