On the surface, the film seems to be a warning from the rich to the rich. The white-collar couple took their son to a villa in the suburbs for vacation. Without death metal and gloomy graphics, this journey should be beautiful and full of vision. The various things that happened that first met the proverbial "touching porcelain", and continued to become a disastrous disaster, the common sense of cruelty was just a glass of aperitif. The gestures of all parties before and after "touching porcelain" are very telling. The elegant murderer angered the civilized hostess, and the women went from polite hospitality to civilized expelling, and some advantages appeared.
This smell is placed around us, some cyclists and motorists think when they encounter it on the street. The former hates car owners of the same race because they don’t drive, while the latter becomes psychologically superior because they drive and even regards cyclists as inferior. Of course, this idea is of course subconsciously controlling the individual psychology. Having a car and not having a car is the representative of economic strength, and there is an inevitable contradiction between the poor and the rich. In this film, the rich man's country house is used as a reference.
The director's intention to express the theme of the film is more sinister. He gave up all theatrical foreshadowing, and regardless of the reason, the above feelings directly crossed to the realization of evil based on hatred. This move, which is different from the idea of drama, completely shatters the conventions of film narrative in the civilized world, because what the director wants to emphasize is hatred and barbarism in the inferiority of human beings. Although the behavior of the two "gentle" thieves quite irritated the audience and made them despised, in the end the control is in their hands, and the captives are by no means heroes.
It is unbelievable in the movie that a golf club can completely lose its mobility, and a binding can completely give up its lifespan, but what about in reality? Not to mention a hero, it is a strong man, and the fate is roughly the same. Don't talk about movies, just talk about reality: we hear, see, and think of many stories of fighting gangsters and succeeding. Contrary to the fact that more violent crimes are not only high but successful, victims are just a few words in the news. The director made use of the public's common sense of watching movies, and clearly subverted the audience's way of venting violent emotions in key links - the principle that evil can never overcome good.
Not only does this illusion exist, but the director also designed two sinful images that are so annoying. Nagging is like a Tang monk, weak like a scholar, and everywhere you look at the viciousness of you and the aggressiveness of the deceitful. However, no matter how you position it, the director has already elevated the uncertainty of fate to the uncontrollable fate of the whole body. At the moment of need or opportunity, everything remains the same, as it is impossible for Sun Wukong to turn out the palm of the Tathagata. Moreover, the victims were only white-collar workers.
The film does not deal with any violent injury scene, everything just depends on your imagination. The director cleverly used a strong sense of substitution, so that your emotions are almost the same as the character's mood. This sense of substitution relies on the encounters of the characters in the play or coercion or obedience to your thinking, to find a way out for the characters, and then understatement to abandon the intention to break you. After deliberately denying the public's thinking habits based on safety needs, the confusion and depression of the people's hearts are formed, until the audience's emotions are completely overwhelmed by this despair.
There have been several films that have reversed the difference between good and evil, almost all of which are based on the director's complete suspicion of certain phenomena in mainstream thinking. Its intention to highlight the evil and darkness is actually a unique wake-up mode, similar to using the loudest and roughest music as a morning alarm, a strong and stimulating state of mind. And what does it do, what disappoints the director so much that it turns the artwork into a spokesperson for evil?
The purpose of "Fun Game" is to show the survival crisis of the public in the life of the times, to show the indifference in reinforced concrete, and to show the alienated relationship between people, which looks like an urban fable. To be more precise, it is an outburst based on the questioning of the weaknesses of modern civilization in a gesture of despair. In the director's core idea, hatred between people will definitely not be responsible for civilization in advance like a movie narrative at the moment of outbreak. The crime events described in the film, although there are formalistic techniques, are essentially derived from the conventional crimes of home robbery.
Some words say the other way around, if a family of three does not have a country house, there is not such a long distance between the villas; if the villa is not used for occasional vacations, but people live in it for many years; if the family is like my mother. Lock the door, keep the windows closed at any time, and be alert to the patronage of strangers at any time, so that bad things may not happen. However, everyone envies and loves to dream of owning a private villa; everyone has a solid economic foundation for working in the city; everyone despises the caution of mothers and regards it as a superfluous act, so bad things may happen. It may be irresponsible for the audience to say so, but in fact the director did not intend to be responsible for the audience at all.
This is the essence of cruelty. It not only acts on the criminal process in the film, but the director is also clearing the way for the criminal to succeed, so the phenomenon of evil over justice has appeared. The bottom layer of Maslow's pyramid theory has been completely subverted, not only losing safety needs, but also losing physiological needs, and the stripped audience and the characters are plunged into despair. As a director, these cruel treatment methods may be to pursue the stimulation and freshness that the public needs, and more to warn the alienated people in modern life. Indeed, people now live in commercial housing in high-priced communities, and whoever lives next to their homes is not interested in asking.
