Obscure mess

At this year's Sundance Film Festival, [Red State] encountered complaints from film critics, resulting in the failure to negotiate the release, and Smith took the film to tour the show on his own. To say that the label of horror and horror is different from the usual style of comedy giants, plus Quentin's exaggerated words in the trailer, people are happy to think that this will be a cult film with blood. As a result, Smith's path of breakthrough and transformation has fallen into the egoistic stalemate. At the beginning of the youth film, three high school students who went to an appointment with pornographic advertisements fell into the trap of an extreme religious priest. After the introduction was thrown out, for the next ten minutes, the pastor was chattering to the followers of the audience, and the long and unintelligible lines were long and unintelligible, and the style of words like [Crazy Store Clerk] continued throughout the film. But this time Smith decided that he had to be serious. When the priest confessed the doctrine of hunting, the large monologue lacked a funny setting that seemed rigid and boring.

Just when people thought it was a religious film, the police and the guys immediately surrounded the church, and the shootout began to start a prairie fire. The believers who had been slaughtered in the church became trapped beasts in a cage. The police were ordered not to keep their mouths alive, so the situation of the prey and the hunters were opposed. In fact, Smith has added the core of black humor to the film here; religious elements believe that they have killed infidels for no reason at the order of God. The police regard religion as terrorism, and they rush to human lives outside the framework of the law. As a result, the film covered the profound meaning of the political film in the last ten minutes. The detectives were promoted due to the heavy casualties, and the priest was accused of being a terrorist and could not escape the death penalty. Because of blind faith, when people think that their rights have a cause, they will do the most incredible things. With such an obscure theme wrapped in a dark style and messy editing, Kevin Smith's way of taking serious matters this time is really a bit confusing.
