Suffocation and heaviness

Vision gradually degenerates, the light gradually fades away, echoing the whole film, in the suffocated living environment, the loss of freedom is so terrible. And this isn't a fictional story, it's what's happening.

In the footage that revolves around people at the bottom of American society, we see positive mutual assistance and harmony and friendship among neighbors.

"Can't you see it?" "What's so beautiful." Eyes are known as the window to the soul, and most of our perception of the outside world comes from it. The ancients said that seeing is true and hearing is false. From such a perspective, the respect for the eyes has reached a very high level. And the protagonist of this film is losing her window of soul. A gradually lost depression and loss, hesitation and fear of despair. Her life was full of hardships. Although there were many people around her who helped her, it was among those who helped her that there was a person who pushed her into the abyss. And that person is also on the edge of the abyss, staring at the abyss at the same time, the abyss is also staring at him. Although she was not abandoned by society, she was persuaded to leave the factory after she exhausted the last drop of labor capacity. She lost the ability to continue working, she lost the ability to repay her debts, and she lost the ability to live. She also has a son, but the film does not tell us what will happen to her son at the last moment. This may be the United States. In the American system, only the corresponding laws and methods can be found to deal with the corresponding events. , let him leave the rest, since there is no way to deal with it, then shelve it and turn a deaf ear.

The struggle of the people at the bottom to survive is displayed in front of the eyes, in the form of singing and dancing. When the police also live on the edge of poverty, they guard themselves against theft, and even evolve into white gangsters. This is not a story, it is the reality that is happening in the United States. Baidao gangsters and underworld gangsters collide, frame each other, destroy social order, and stage scenes in GTA5 on the street. I am amazed. What I have to admire is that Rock Star has integrated reality into the game and let the whole world experience it. real America. The rogue with the license is no longer a joke, but has become a beautiful landscape in the beautiful country.

Being rich is so important. Humans are at the junction of good and evil, and constantly cross the boundary. In the double despair, the inevitable violent conflict was triggered. From this, I saw a trace of the relationship between China and the United States. When the eagle can't take the rabbit, what will it do? I don't want to fight and bleed. Don't you just roll up your sleeves again? Playing with finance and making a fortune in war no longer works. The world trends and patterns are completely different. Sticking to the rules will only be eliminated.

At one point I couldn't hold back the question mark on my face. Horror film? What the hell is this? No logic! How the style will change halfway. Although I felt the weirdness of the shooting angle from the beginning, some of these shots were still too weird. Gutter splashes water droplets on the lens, shot up from a very low angle. Such footage raises a litany of question marks. For what purpose? Half immersed in the river and shot on the shore, what kind of fairy perspective is this. At that time, my head went down with a "hum" sound, and I had no clue at all. There's a lot more about the shot and the sudden outburst of emotional nodes, the screams that come to an abrupt end, the curtains that are quickly pulled up. Song and dance in court, etc. All this in contempt of American hypocrisy, the pus of the inner abscess is running wild.

    75/100 1 One of the conscience trilogy, I only know about Lars von Trier only in "Dog Town". I like it very much. I can only say it's okay. 2 The camera shakes my head, especially this one. The good thing about this forced face-pulling shot is that it really allows you to focus all your attention on the heroine, but the bad thing actually widens my distance from the movie. Foolishness, halo, saint, these words are my impressions. I can't see the director's position and don't think it's an expression of praising mother's love and escaping from reality. The fantasy of the 3 songs is full of contrast with the silence of reality. I like the train scene, the money grab and the murder and the end of the court, especially the hysterical screaming and the silence after the end of the hanging. 4 "Why did you give birth to him? I just want to hold a little baby in my arms." "I'll leave the theater at the end of the second song so the movie will never end." ps that Cannes "Devils Are Coming", "One One", "In the Mood for Love" and Palme d'Or? ?

    Although I can't stand Lars' shaking shots, Bjork's looks and singing voice, it still can't erase the greatness of this movie. The American dream built under the hypocritical middle class is a bubble that bursts when it is touched. Most people are in it without knowing it, and the dream is broken and still has illusions. Falling into the abyss after a daydream is not one person's fault, nor is it an exception.
