After watching it again, I didn't fully understand the plot, but just got a rough idea. Even so, when lying in bed quietly, there was some aftertaste, and I wanted to talk about it.
At the beginning, I didn't feel that this film was so brilliant. It wasn't until the last moment of the film that the scene of the middle-aged police hysterically swallowing marijuana gave me a strong emotional impact. This policeman broke down? Still relieved?
(Long-term) depression-relief-(endless) depression-collapse, madness,
this is his emotional change!
A sentimental and righteous hippie detective is inadvertently involved in a series of misty events in order to find his missing ex-girlfriend. Following the male protagonist’s vision, we observe all the people living in this society at all levels, and step by step reveals the hidden ugliness of this society...Finally, when the protagonist discovers his true enemy, the well-dressed upper-class elite (lawyer) ) And the huge power behind him, he compromised.
He compromised, and he can only compromise. His remaining sense of justice, his persistence has made him lose his lover, how about getting the truth? Perhaps he will lose even himself when he struggles to the end.
"Justice has been done?"
"It's true."
——Have a PI, after you have done it, are you still smoking marijuana? (Fell into a deeper abyss and can only continue to indulge.)
Smoking weed is a crime, don’t you know? Look at calling the police. Do you know this policeman, who often enforces the law against you violently. But now you also know why he enforced the law violently-he is also suffering. The partner was killed and had nowhere to redress grievances, was discriminated against, was unable to resist, and was repressed and released under strict control, so I would often beat you down. Who makes you weaker than him! Of course, you can avenge him to a certain extent, so this time he is not here to abuse you. You are as hard as you, and you start to feel sorry for each other. But has your hatred really been reported? No! Will anyone pay for your grievances? nor! Life is still bleak, and the future is still endless darkness. Think about the terrible reality, there is really no reason not to collapse-I hope good friends, for a lifetime.
How far can one person's revolution go? Fortunately, there is a future.
Where the american fate, mercifully, failed to transpire...—— "Inherent Vice"
PS: The title (novel) was translated as "Nature is evil", I think the translation is inappropriate. Like the name of the original film (writing), this is not a work that explores human nature. Some people say that this is a black humorous film, there is a point of laughter. I was so depressed that I finished reading it, and didn't laugh. Thinking about it now, it's all tears.
