Look again, oh, the co-authoring director and screenwriter are the same person, which is easy to understand. It is estimated that the energy is limited, the clone is lacking, or the role is too much love, entangled in the richness of the plot and the director’s stubbornness, so that the latter is a little bit uncontrollable. Live-reluctant to let Karl suffer too much, and had to forcefully sublimate for a slightly shocking ending. Really unsatisfactory!
What dissatisfies me the most is that the director keeps suggesting that this film is not simply a return to society with mental retardation, and intentionally or unconsciously arranges the characters to speak out their little preconceptions. For example, Karl keeps telling Frank that there should be no bad things in childhood, for example, at the end Fifteen minutes of constant farewells, commissions, etc. Therefore, the audience can predict from the beginning that in the end Carl will still do something shocking, otherwise he will not be worthy of the director's good intentions. But with such a straightforward expression, there is no woman who has taken off the veil to make it interesting.
My guess is that it is the plot of Wen Tun Tun that makes the director or screenwriter a little unable to stop the car, so that he can only modify the theme from the details, and at the same time force a more shocking ending.
As for why this is the case, there are probably two possibilities. One is that the director loves Karl too much, and doesn’t want to blindly put him in a miserable situation (he is also acting himself); second, maybe the director has considerable ambitions and tries to express it in a peaceful and objective manner. Social reality-tell the audience that there is violence and shameless ravages in society, as well as innocent and beautiful acceptance; there are homosexuality and intellectually retarded love; there are indifferent father-son relationships, and there are strong friendships and sincerity... Many scenes and beautiful meanings. So as to avoid forcing pain in order to achieve a certain atmosphere.
However, this kind of large and wide-ranging notification and expression has made "evil" a small part of social reality. And this kind of subtle weight makes it easy for people to think that this kind of "evil" is still within a tolerable range, how can it cause the killing of extinct populations?
But the director could not tolerate the progressive development of the screenwriter. This fascist asked Carl to kill! Therefore, Carl Xiang has not had time to develop something with the mentally handicapped girl, and he has not had time to be insulted and insulted by his father; he hasn't had time to be injured by the lawn mower that has been mentioned countless times, and he hasn't had time to be beaten by Dole. After two meals, the director will be dragged to sharpen his knife... Poorly, Dole was split his head without even beating Carl seriously... Regarding
this, I guess that it should be completely blamed on the director's need to follow through. The decisive and terrifying ending of the box office demand. Otherwise, relying on this gentle plot and a little bit of deepening crime, it is estimated that it will take a four or five-hour version to derive all the elements of the tragedy. (Of course, you can also say that this is exactly the warmth of the film. Carl’s inner emotions are constantly calming and saving, and finally lead to tragedy. This includes being ruthlessly abandoned by his father countless times, and the only use of lawn mower His skills were rejected by his father, so he increasingly thinks that Frank and his mother are precious. Tsk tsk, I don’t agree with this statement~)
Maybe, this is the battle between the screenwriter and the director for the dominance of the film. When the two are the same, it is Billy's self-entanglement dispute.
But no matter how the dispute is, as far as the audience is concerned, it is too far-fetched for the movie to present such an ending. Even after Carl's head was split, I thought, Dole had just reconciled with the middle-aged woman, and as a result, Carl asked GAY to pick up the mother and the son, and he brought a machete to the house to hack people. After seeing the scene, the women may cry to death, or dislike the truth~ hahaha, this can also explain why Frank did not visit Karl after he returned to the state hospital.
In addition, I am quite satisfied with this film, especially the creation of the details, I have to praise it.
For example, the sound of dragging a chair at the beginning of the film, especially dragging the chair to the front and turning around before putting it down, makes people's hearts gather in this sound, and it is suppressed to death.
For example, Carl was taken home by the dean and sat in his daughter’s bedroom all night. He never lay down to rest. Before leaving, he smoothed the marks with his hands. It almost made me cry and felt that I was getting rougher and rougher in recent years. And not kind enough.
For example, Carl dictated the scenes and performances of murder at the beginning, the short babble description, the increased background percussion, and the close-up of the entire face. It was really bluffing to put it on the front, hahaha.
Of course, the more details, the more problems. For example, the director is very angry at the front, and he is too anxious at the back, which seems a bit careless; for example, the image of Carl does not match before and after. , Become a silent wise man behind. The repair shop, French fries, dean, and mentally handicapped girl appeared in the front, but disappeared in the back-this thing is not required by traditional screenwriters~
