I love the part where Frank imagines killing the neighbors...

Looking at the poster, I once thought that this would be a story like "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", but it's not. This is a cult film, with a bit of comedy, completely dark humor. Although it is completely different from what I hoped, some clips in the film are memorable after watching. Whether it is the dialogue or part of the picture, I personally feel that it is handled well. not bad.
The whole play is an indictment, from imagination to words to actions, layer by layer. To satirize this American society, and in my opinion, it also makes sense to satirize various countries that have developed to a certain extent. I won’t talk about this in depth. I appreciate the idea of ​​the creator. Everyone who cares about the society hopes to express their perception of this society through their own efforts, and hopes to tell their own knowledge about this society through their own specialties. Thought, it may be irony, it may be advice, it may be hope and disappointment.
As mentioned earlier, in my personal opinion, this film is an indictment of society from imagination to words and actions, that is, Frank imagining killing his neighbor—a verbal discussion between Frank and his colleagues (long dialogue) ——Frank finally killed the first person (a cheap high school girl), the action part has reached the impossible part in life, but it is the part that everyone sees the most, those imaginations and words before The above attacks are the most frequent and the most depressing in life. Indeed, the art of film is to release people, to watch others do things that they dare not or never do, and they feel at ease when watching.
However, I personally prefer the part where Frank imagines killing the neighbors at the beginning. Because, so much the same - there must be someone you've ever wanted to kill, right? Especially when you have suppressed it for a long time, and the other party still aggravates you. And the movie just shows the most common and private psychological state in life, which leads to Frank, who will become a killer later.
At the beginning of the film, the camera shoots a family who are irritating to death and cramping and the eyes of a man. I thought this man was at least a member of the family, and then I found out that it was a fat man who lived next door to the family. guy.
Fat guy Frank is the protagonist of this play! (Of course, you can tell by looking at the poster) However, the one with the gun in the poster is not as frustrated as the one here. In this section, the interior of the camera is pitch-dark. Except for the TV, there is no other light. There is a picture of a little girl on the table next to the TV, but it seems that it is impossible to live with him. Here It indirectly explained that Frank was a decadent single man who was divorced and had a different daughter.
Frank watched TV, listened to the noisy conversation of the neighbor woman and man, BB's shrill cry, and instantly transformed all the anger into an imaginary scene in a dizzy moment-Frank grabbed the gun and rushed into the neighbor's house, Killed the master with one shot, and then killed the baby who had been noisy all the time - Frank laughed in his imagination, but it was all fake, he was still staring at the glowing TV, watching the unhealthy A nasty TV show full of dissatisfaction with this society.
Of course, the whole film is very suitable for my taste, and it is still highly recommended. While watching it, I also think about the society, myself, and the surrounding problems. Movies that make you think are definitely not that bad, are they?

    Very flattering perspective, I believe this film will definitely arouse some people’s impulse to take up arms and make a few shots. Violent Luo will always be the favorite of otaku fans; punctual soundtrack, new variants of comic-style violence aesthetics, various The irony and the small details of the bad taste are all very good, but the film is actually not enough in the sense of form and not enough, otherwise, how could the drama of preaching and shooting appear so stripped?

    Boom boom boom! After killing 4 people in the cinema, the male pig's feet said to the surviving sister: "Thank you for not making any noise during the movie. Thank you for turning off the phone." I wiped! It resonates with me!

God Bless America quotes

  • Office Worker: So what about you Frank? Did you see that freak on "American Superstars" last night?

    Frank: What?

    Office Worker: Last night; that freak on "American Superstarz."

    Frank: No... I mean yes, I saw that accidentally. I don't watch "American Superstarz"

    Office Worker: You don't watch it, but you saw him. What are you too good for the show?

    Frank: Yeah, I'm too good for a karaoke contest that makes stars out of people with no talent.

    Office Worker: *Laugh You can't say that dude, some of those kids have real talent.

    Frank: No they don't. They have good pitch... they're relatively clean, they're non-threatening to little girls and old ladies, they have the ability to stand in line with a stadium full of other desperate and confused people, but I assure you they are talent-free.

    Office Worker: Yeah, well I bet 32 million people would disagree with you bro, because that's how many people called-in to vote last year on the finale.

    Frank: I wish I was a super-genius inventor and could come up with a way to make a telephone into an explosive device that was triggered by the "American Superstarz" voting number. The battery could explode and leave a mark on the face, so I could know who to avoid talking to before they even talked. And I could look and say, "Hm, no you're gonna be saying anything that's going to add any value to my life."

    Office Worker: Yeah, but it's funny. I mean you gotta admit that. Steven Clark, that's funny shit Frank...

    Frank: It's not nice to laugh at someone who's not all there. It's the same type of freak-show distraction that comes along every time a mighty empire starts collapsing. "American Superstarz" is the new colosseum and I won't participate in watching a show where the weak are torn apart every week for our entertainment. I'm done, really, everything is so "cool" now. I just want it all to stop. I mean, nobody talks about anything anymore. They just regurgitate everything they see on TV, or hear on the radio or watch on the web. When was the last time you had a real conversation with someone without somebody texting or looking at a screen or a monitor over your head? You know, a conversation about something that wasn't celebrities, gossip, sports, or pop politics. You know, something important, something personal.

  • Frank: Oh, I get, and I am offended. Not because I've got a problem with bitter, predictable, whiny, millionaire disk jockeys complaining about celebrities or how tough their life is, while I live in an apartment with paper-thin walls next to a couple of Neanderthals who, instead of a baby, decided to give birth to some kind of nocturnal civil defense air-raid siren that goes off every fuckin' night like it's Pearl Harbor. I'm not offended that they act like it's my responsibility to protect their rights to pick on the weak like pack animals, or that we're supposed to support their freedom of speech when they don't give a fuck about yours or mine.

    Office Worker: So, you're against free speech now? That's in the Bill of Rights, man.

    Frank: I would defend their freedom of speech if I thought it was in jeopardy. I would defend their freedom of speech to tell uninspired, bigoted, blowjob, gay-bashing, racist and rape jokes all under the guise of being edgy, but that's not the edge. That's what sells. They couldn't possibly pander any harder or be more commercially mainstream, because this is the "Oh no, you didn't say that!" generation, where a shocking comment has more weight than the truth. No one has any shame anymore, and we're supposed to celebrate it. I saw a woman throw a used tampon at another woman last night on network television, a network that bills itself as "Today's Woman's Channel". Kids beat each other blind and post it on Youtube. I mean, do you remember when eating rats and maggots on Survivor was shocking? It all seems so quaint now. I'm sure the girls from "2 Girls 1 Cup" are gonna have their own dating show on VH-1 any day now. I mean, why have a civilization anymore if we no longer are interested in being civilized?
