The original author of Filth is Owen Welsh, a literary genius who wrote Trainspotting. The two articles are very similar in style, and both reflect the lives of the people at the bottom of Scotland to a certain extent. But because "Fith" is full of chaotic characters' inner monologues and paradoxical hallucinations, it was once considered "unfilmable", but after being rewritten by an excellent playwright, this book finally appeared on the silver screen in 2013. James McAvoy (Yi Mei) first read the script and decided that he must play this role. For this reason, he changed his previous image of a beautiful and beautiful boy, gained 30 pounds, and drank whisky every day just to ensure the next day. His face is swollen, but it also damages his health. Many scenes of vomiting in the movie are really vomiting because he drank his stomach bad. Due to his unhealthy diet, he also developed many dark spots on his face, but for For an actor, his transformation was undoubtedly a success, and the performance earned him the award for Best Actor in an Independent Film.
As a fan of Zhan Yimei, as soon as the movie came out, I looked for raw meat on the Internet to watch it. It was a sophomore year of high school, so I fast-forwarded through it for two lunch breaks, but one was because fast-forwarding missed a lot of details, and the other was because the Scottish accent was so personal (just say you don’t understand it!) , The third is that this movie is quite brain-burning, so I basically didn't understand it, but even so, I was deeply infected by the depression, despair, confusion, and madness revealed in the movie, and my mind was in a trance. The icy, deep blue skies of Scotland, the materialization of warped horror, and the smoky, death-like aura that hangs over the film.
This film mainly describes a spiritual level with nowhere to escape. The protagonist Bruce Roberson played by Zhan Yimei suffers from bipolar disorder. The pressure of the workplace and the failure of marriage make him insane, and he lives in a world where reality and illusion are intertwined all day long. . He only remembered that his wife and daughter left him, but he forgot why they left him, and sometimes even forgot the fact that his wife and children had formed a family, and he intentionally or unintentionally presented the illusion that the family was still living together in front of others. These tragic encounters and Yimei's big blue eyes believe that many people have begun to sympathize with him, but at the same time Bruce is also an evil and tyrannical Edinburgh policeman who has made some shameless acts in order to get promoted. At the beginning, Bruce viciously slandered various colleagues and bosses in his mind, and regarded himself as very high. Then, when he went to investigate the case of underage sex trafficking with Ray, he not only molested the little girl to satisfy his lust, but also used sinister threats to make the man involved psychologically collapse. As the plot unfolds, we see that Bruce is also having an affair with his colleague's wife, sowing discord in the unit, making pornographic calls to friends' insiders and then framing them, painting insulting graffiti on the walls and then blaming others, taking friends to The speakeasy, give him stimulants...everything shows that Bruce is a downright sinister, and he's playing with people's hearts by chanting "Same rules apply" all the time, but other episodes make the character change. It got complicated. When he met a comatose man on the street, he came to the rescue. When his friend was writhing and moaning on the bed because of an overdose, he hid in the toilet and shrank his hair in pain. He watched the videotape of his wife and children and shed tears of grief. , and harassing a friend's wife by making pornographic calls, masturbating while crying, walking alone in the streets of thousands of lights, confused and crying... From this we see that this "bad cop" is actually just a postmodern workplace A spiritual epitome. The sour workplace competition, the intriguing office living conditions, and the marital crisis spreading throughout the society have all become cancers that can strike at any time in people's hearts. Facing the unavoidable darkness, more and more people are beginning to be like Bruce. Seek solace in sex, alcohol, drugs, drugs, and get into deeper chaos.
When Bruce's bipolar disorder strikes, the people around him become objectified in his eyes, becoming animals or characters in fairy tales, and these objectifications have their own symbols. Policewoman Amanda portrays herself as a capable and motivated woman, but she is actually just a mediocre person who climbs up by her body. She seems to take the initiative to come to care about Bruce's mental state, but it is just to satisfy her own curiosity and stretch her out. Sharp-mouthed to inquire about other people's privacy, she materialized into a terrible witch in Bruce's eyes, and in the end she didn't give Bruce any help except "you should see a doctor". Police officer Ray, one of Bruce's competitors for promotion, but he looks weak and incompetent, obedient to his boss and Bruce, as well as drug addiction, sex addiction, he is a sheep in Bruce's eyes, but later he However, he managed to squeeze Bruce out of his promotion. It turned out that he could see all of Bruce's evil deeds clearly. At this time, he pretended to dissuade Bruce from quitting drugs and sex. Only then did Bruce realize that this was a man in sheep's clothing. Wolf. Once a person climbs to a high position, the perspective of measuring interests will completely change. At this time, even the former self, in his eyes, is no different from a small ant. The psychiatrist is a tapeworm that appears in Bruce's hallucinations from time to time. Rather than representing the doctor himself, the tapeworm symbolizes society. The tapeworm has a big mouth and a soft body. It is like an irresistible evil in society. It is not as ferocious as a lion, but lurks in the dark like a worm, wrapping around you unconsciously and devouring you. You're rotting and you don't know it, tapeworms look so harmless after all! So we were all turned into the most disgusting and ugliest appearances in the muddled mess, and we dressed up brightly and continued to play the game of intrigue in the stinky ditch. In Bruce's eyes, he is a pig, greedy, lazy, nasty, dirty, it seems that he has been soberly making mistakes, soberly hurting others, so Bruce also hates himself so much that he has to practice himself at the end destroy.
The only ray of sunshine in the movie is the wife of the man Bruce rescued on the street, who became a widow after his death. She didn't know Bruce, but in her mind Bruce was a good policeman who was willing to help others. As a token of gratitude, she knitted a red and white scarf for Bruce. They had also met by chance on the street and in the supermarket. Bruce obviously pinned his longing for family on the kind and considerate little widow. Every time he was in front of the little widow, he was like a helpless child. He used to be glib and could not utter a word, and his blue eyes were always amazing. Soft and clear, the treacherous and wretchedness of the past seemed to be buried deep, so when he was desperate, he stopped the little widow inappropriately and asked her to stay, but the little widow left with the child. Stripped of the last ray of light in Bruce's heart.
The biggest doubt in the play is Bruce's wife Carole. In the monologue, she has always been a sexy and seductive look, dressed like a party queen, but in Bruce's videotape and later in the supermarket, Carole is completely a home. The woman's appearance, the contrast and the erratic and eerie appearance of Carole make people puzzled. Then the truth was revealed that the sexy Carole was actually the alter ego in Bruce's mind. Bruce kept giving himself psychological hints in the image of Carole, that is, as long as the promotion was successful, his family would be happy again, so he was not interested in the promotion. There is an absolute paranoia about getting promoted by dirty means. However, because the police station newly discovered that another blonde was a witness at the crime scene of the murder, but Bruce did not find this evidence, which caused the boss's dissatisfaction. When Bruce dressed up as Carole again insanely to go out, he was caught by the criminal of the last murder and wanted to kill him. After the brutal beating, Bruce woke up and realized that the witness, the blonde, was himself. This explains the bizarre fetishes and situational impotence in his hallucinations, and this hallucinatory stand-in, apparently unable to satisfy the bloodthirsty and emptiness of his soul, was finally abandoned by him.
When he wakes up is when he loses everything because he has to admit that he is truly alone and has lost all love and dignity and the only thing he can do is take a thorough hot shower and put on the board The police uniform, he hanged himself with the only warm scarf in his world. In the end, Bruce chose to commit suicide. In fact, he was in pursuit of dignity. He knew in his heart that his sins could not be washed away in his lifetime, and the bizarre world brought by bipolar disorder would haunt him for the rest of his life. His most sincere last words in his life saved Bladesey's marriage. The figure of the little widow and child at the door made him hesitate for a moment, which shows that he still has the desire to survive, but after the big and small left, Bruce's last hesitation evaporated, and he smiled rudely: "Same rules apply!" He kicked the bench under his feet.
The episode "creep" at the end perfectly matched Bruce's psychology. He failed to defeat the evil pig's head in his heart, and could only choose to escape from this loveless world...
