This seems to have become a template for Chinese-style emergencies. In a society where we can't trust an independent judiciary, the police, and the government, and in a network where we can't identify who's real and who's speaking, we have to be spectators and not speak.
Do not speak. Whether it was out of boredom, cleverness, persistence, or slow reflexes that didn't matter to him, K was sitting there, smoking a cigarette and gagging his mouth, watching everyone talk.
But is he really silent? In this film, everyone is shouting, exhausting their voices and so on. Even though the Coen brothers switched to black and white, the characters remained the same. Fat to the point of sweating, black veil masked with round eyes, or sly smile to the point of hypocrisy, handsome to the point of evil. But like the fat man's declaration "you didn't listen to me" in "Barton Fink", all these noises have been washed away, and K is the most powerful narrator.
I call it "Witchcraft". A person who doesn't believe in anyone, has no ideals, lusts, and moral judgments, whose wife cheats without heartache or shame, just cheats $10,000 (or coincidentally), and doesn't fear when he dies, such a person is whispering.
He didn't say whether he liked you or not, whether you were right or wrong, he didn't want to kill you, he just looked at you and narrated.
no matter what everyone else is saying? The nervous speeches of other barbers, the principles, facts, and illusions of the lawyers' mouths were all filtered out later. K grabs everything.
Later, people who don't speak always have the advantage. It seems that Faye Wong, who doesn't talk about Nicholas Tse, compares to Nicholas Tse who still loves Faye Wong.
"Everyone doesn't know where to go, we just spin in the labyrinth, turning a corner, A or B doesn't make sense (of course later Jobs would say that nothing is wasted, in other words, as criticized in the novels of the Republic of China The woman said that everything is doomed). It’s just a temporary look back from the flying saucer, attracting not guiding you.”
This is the general theme of the film. It's not fun to sum it up, and the protagonist also said most of it. But what is interesting is that the Coen brothers are smart that this sentence is said in the lawyer's mouth.
"There is no absolute truth in the world, and everything is unpredictable. The ugly facts you have seen are actually just a combination of extremely natural and human nature. The essence of the facts is just false and confusing."
If I keep writing like this, you will feel that fear. The chief fat barber punched K in court and asked, "What kind of person are you?" I remember when he went to apply for a mortgage before, he consoled himself and said, "These people are actually just like us, with their legs crossed. "Or you can recall that the lawyer also said to the jury: "This man is not a criminal, he is the same person as us."
A little deeper: The husband is cheating on his own right, and he is in love with the innocent girl who plays the piano ( Of course he doesn't know the piano, every girl looks pure at eighteen) (voiceover, of course, I don't know much about the piano); where's the wife? She may have cheated for the same reason.
Later, the pure girl gave you oral sex, but the wife committed suicide. Only those who need hope commit suicide (so in the end you are killed and you have already lost everything).
What attracted me to this movie was not so much the reality? Is there a consistent destiny? Rather, who is the narrator? Still, all those who don't speak, those who cheat and don't cheat, are just pitiful idiots stuck in their own world in the end.
This is also a theme that the Coen brothers have been digging into. "Barton Fink" is focused on this, a person who has no material to search desperately can always ignore the real material - life. until life burns.
That play and this one can be seen as two sides of the same fact. Fink is a writer and holds the right to speak. He thought he was looking at a painting, but in the end the painting actually appeared in life. This time, in turn, Wu Yan replaced the noise. But even so, even if this time you are silent, you observe, and say nothing, life is still ignored, into the unknowable, into the destined horror.
If you keep standing here and don't develop, how can you complain about the breadth and unknown of life. you absent one!
Remember the last sentence of this movie: there are many Liz there too, maybe I can tell her, all this, everything in the world is indescribable.
If you have finished reading this article, you may look at the beginning and say: The dead person and the person who killed him are just the same person. I have no idea.
