Take Off the Mask - The Killing of Civilization

The arrangement of the group play is very interesting.

From the very beginning, the four people are polite and can't pick out flaws in makeup and speech, and then to the meeting room where they enter and exit a few times. The plot develops in constant topics.

The initial questions revolved around the frictional fights between the children. The mother of the child who was beaten couldn't hold back her emotions at first, and kept repeating the conversation with topics such as "teeth", which also made the emotions of the two families gradually become irritable. Yes, irritable, from father Z's increasingly troublesome and tense work calls, to mother Z constantly undressing, holding gloves, looking for topics, and trying to maintain the conversation.

As for Father E's two invitations to eat pie and drink coffee, it can be seen that he is a roundabout and is constantly looking for a balance. As for Mother Z, it may be the writer's relationship that seems aggressive at first.

The conversation went on for about 30 minutes, and there were several contradictions. One was that Z’s father and E’s mother revolved around the child’s education. E’s mother insisted that Z apologize to her child; the other was that Z’s mother and E’s father, Z’s mother was very Dissatisfied with the fact that Father E threw a hamster into the street, Mother Z still asked this question after returning to the living room.

After 30 minutes, Father Z started to be attacked by Father E. Mother Z tried to dissuade him. At this time, the focus shifted to the issue of men's occupation, which was actually a debate over social status.

And when mother Z was unwell and had a nauseous stomach, she lost control as the last calmer. She had a quarrel with her husband. It can be seen that she was so tired of her husband's constant work and phone calls, and also hated her husband's indifference to the children's affairs. behavior. And then her vomiting started = = Well, the scene was totally out of control. However, vomiting this kind of thing also reflects that Z's usual mental stress is very high. Maybe she is the most mentally stressed among the four people, because she can maintain the longest calm.

When the two couples were in the same space, the time for the truth came, just like hearing parents maliciously talking about relatives and friends at home. The hypocritical adult world. .

The biscuits are awful - and yet you spend so long praising their improved recipes.

The name doodle is so silly - and then you'll find a bunch of words to save the embarrassment

Every call from Father Z is a foreplay before the climax. I could only hear the voice of the phone call, and looking at the unpredictable faces of the other three, their emotions were gradually accumulating, waiting for the next outbreak.

When they went out for the third time, the two sides completely broke down, and it was a complete verbal attack. As expected, Mother Z took out the hamster thing again and attacked. Here, Father E was very interesting. He began to expose the fake pattern of all this, but anyway, when he wanted to drink, he still asked for advice. The third time offer, pie, coffee.

When mother E was beating her husband furiously, she felt that it was really Coke,

mother Z, under the urge or the stimulation of alcohol, she threw her husband's mobile phone into the vase, and the two women in the wife's camp laughed happily. With a man's face like a formidable enemy. This created two fronts, the oldest of them all: women and men. Men will agree over booze and cigars, while wives who blame their husbands form a camp.

The ending is really ironic, the children have already reconciled as before, who is still hysterical.

ps: This reminds me of my first quarrel with someone since junior high school, in June, no matter who is right or wrong, I think I am stupid for arguing with that idiot, and I am stupid for trying to solve problems, because some problems are There, there is no need to solve it.

    Wonderful stage play, this kind of play is the most test of acting skills, the performance of the four people is perfect, especially Jodie Foster, who has contributed to the peak performance. The collision of four old drama bones, like Bacon's painting, is cruel, gorgeous, chaotic, and balanced. With the deepening of the conversation, the coat of humanity is peeling off layer by layer and exposed layer by layer. If there is no conflict, we may all think that we are still good people. Generally speaking, we are civilized people who are tolerant, kind, knowledgeable and reasonable. It is vanity, arrogance, and selfishness, just learn to hide them more delicately, maybe we all need such an opportunity to expose and see ourselves, then turn our heads, and learn how to live with others with this kind of awareness .

    I have seen Chinese dramas at the Shanghai Theater Arts Center. The movies are far from the dramas, and many of the dramas that should have been explosive have become very gentle. The play is the same as Reza's "Art", don't take it as a comedy, she once said about "Art" that it is a tragedy rather than a comedy.

Carnage quotes

  • Alan Cowan: Penelope, I believe in the god of carnage. The god whose rule's been unchallenged since time immemorial.

  • Nancy Cowan: I've got a John Wayne idea of manhood, too. What is it he had? A Colt .45. Something that empties a room. Any man that doesn't have those loner vibes just doesn't come off as having any substance.
