To put it simply, this is a film about quarrels, and it is also a film about civilized humanbeing step by step to remove its disguise and move towards uncivilized. It seems that civilization needs camouflage, and savagery is the nature. It also reminds me of the rhetoric mentioned in the Red House by Jiang Xun recently: Mr. Jiang said that Westerners are good at using rhetoric and also love to use rhetoric (in the core courses of the university, the compulsory course for every student is rhetoric, but we directly call it the writing class. ), especially politicians, who need to use rhetorical devices to cover up some naked, not so nice words. And this seems to be a symbol of civilization. When quarreling, it is not to scold directly, but to put on some disguise. Apart from words, the behavior is the same. Seeing that Penelope is so angry that he is going crazy, he still gets up quickly. Walking up to Alan and Nancy to open the door for them was comical and ironic.
So is civilization a disguise, and is barbarism the nature? Is human nature good or evil? At the end of the movie, the two fighting children were reconciled, the phone that was thrown into the water was not broken, and the hamster who "stolenly escaped" was also alive and kicking, right? Say goodbye peacefully, tomorrow is another civilized day? It may not be important whether civilization is disguised or not. After a day of noisy and loud noises, all the harsh words have been said, and the next day will probably continue to live peacefully and politely.
Speaking of the movie itself, when Alan and Nancy went out for the first time, I thought the scene changed, but I didn't expect them to go back and eat pie? cake? The second time I went out, I thought I had finally changed places, but I didn't expect them to go back again? ? Pulling the progress bar, I found that until the end of the movie, they were all in this room, arguing. This fight is hilarious. From the mutual confrontation between men about each other's career, to the mutual confrontation between women about each other's three views, to the mutual confrontation between husband and wife, every sentence starts from the other party's language and behavior, plus the suppressed emotions. The influence of everyone is on the verge of collapse, and they have long forgotten why they quarreled. Life is like this, when the mood comes up, the usual small troubles have found a vent, and all the brains are poured out here. Is emotional venting barbaric? Is arguing a good way?
I can't guess the director's intentions, but what I see is that life itself is very overwhelming. Maybe you can spit out your grievances by arguing. Will the quarrel solve the problem? Probably not, but you will probably feel more comfortable, or, things have turned around again, who knows, tomorrow will be a new day.
