First of all, I must praise Yimei: a beauty, for the sake of her beloved film career, does not hesitate to destroy her appearance and image, and shows the darkest inner world of human beings on the screen. What kind of spirit is this? This is the spirit of dedication to the cause. Thinking about the performances of Christian Bale and French Shark
in The Hunger, I can't help but ask: Are gentlemen destroying their bodies a necessary way to break through?
This is a movie that you can't understand until the end. The muffled Scottish accent, bruce's sleazy demeanor, and all sorts of horrific hallucinations that flash across the camera are all things that might make you drop out. But once the suspense is unraveled, you will see a scarred and fragile soul, which has been shattered due to the long-term erosion of alcohol, drugs, and greed. However, this soul is not invisible. During the film, it occasionally peeps through a beautiful blue and moist eyes (although these eyes are embedded in a slightly bloated uncle's face). of lamentation.
It is often said that "poor people must have something to hate", and similarly "hateful people also have something to hate". The film adheres to the view that "people are inherently good at the beginning", and bruce said, "I used to be a good person." His younger brother died unexpectedly and his wife left him. The unhappiness in life was like a mountain, which turned Bruce's spirit into an evil direction. He was paranoid that only a promotion could restore his wife's heart and return his life to a normal track. And the struggle to become famous is too hard, if you can't make the people around you miserable like yourself, how can you do it? The pursuit of fame and fortune and the unreasonable jealousy of others shaped the bruce in the first half of the film.
If bruce is played by an actor that I am not familiar with or not a fan of, I am afraid that I will not be able to keenly see bruce's pain and struggle from the actor's eyes, but this is a beauty, his blue eyes always show vulnerability , sensitivity, longing and other emotions, even if it is a threat to a minor, his eyes are twinkling, mischievous and smug, at least it doesn't make me disgusted.
The story line of the film is divided into two parts: harassing phone calls and tunnel murders. The harassing call adopts a straightforward method, telling the audience the answer directly; while the tunnel murder is not revealed until the end of the film, and this process is designed to make people very heart-warming. At this time, I have to admit that the role of bruce is none other than Yimei.
Throughout the whole film, it does not jump out of the circle of the sad boy's growth experience, especially Bruce's act of disguising as a woman, which is completely the performance of a boy who is
obsessed with his mother. So is there always a boy who doesn't grow up in a man's body?
"same rules apply", this sentence appears repeatedly in the film, I have never quite understood the meaning of this sentence: is it helpless to life? Or evil?
In the end, the film didn't show why bruce's wife left him. I guess it has something to do with his brother's accident. Is this the suspense left by the director to the audience? Or for European and American audiences, the reason is self-evident and no longer needs to be explained in detail?
