"Perfect Stranger" is an amazing "love horror film". Its script is both creative and social, wittyly analyzing the social crisis of the adult world, and combining seven different characters in a small space. The characters are vivid and three-dimensional. The characters in the play are all in play, and all are expected. The fragility and complexity of the relationship between people are stripped in the form of humor. In the end, the dignity of the adult world is broken, and a relationship between friends and lovers The fierce battle between the two began on the night of the lunar eclipse. This is a black fable of modern social relations. The methods seem to be gentle, but the effect is actually pungent and sharp.
In the social environment of contemporary society, how to maintain a safe environment needs to be established on the basis of protecting personal privacy. This is a default social consensus in contemporary social society. Maintaining a fragile dignity is actually more important than we think. Privacy is not only It only needs to exist between friends, and lovers should also have moderate privacy. Those who break this rule can easily find that the relationship between people is extremely fragile. The development of communication technology allows all the privacy of people to be gathered in a palm-sized mobile phone, and the mobile phone naturally becomes a black box in the social process. It gathers all the secrets, as long as it can become a nuclear bomb at an appropriate time, this year, it is "famous". "The Luojia Mountain Pao King planted on it.
The secrets of the various parties in "The Perfect Stranger" are cleverly distributed among several global social issues that have remained hot, such as the seven-year itch of marriage, the social acceptance of homosexuality, the middle-aged crisis, and the DINK problem. , The problems of parents in married life, etc. These common gender and post-marital problems are intertwined in various roles by the screenwriter, forming a portrait of the adult gender world. The film chooses to express in a humorous and humorous way. , But there is no lack of warning effects in the witty life. The movie chose to watch the lunar eclipse as the purpose of the gathering, and has repeatedly shown the metaphor of the lunar eclipse in the story: the moon has a bright side and a dark side, just like human nature itself, and the dark side of the moon (eclipse) is slow tonight. In the process of slowly covering the entire moon, all the ulterior secrets hidden by all the characters in the movie are exposed. After the lunar eclipse is over, the movie cleverly ends with a scene where nothing happened. This interesting metaphor brings a strong black allegory effect to the whole story, which can be called ingenuity.
All the stories of the movie take place on the owner’s dinner table. This is a typical tumultuous movie. The dialogue is well thought out in the play. Almost all the seemingly abrupt statements in the movie have turned out to be important foreshadowings. , The hostess inexplicably wants breast augmentation (the concubine obviously likes big-breasted girls), the fat guy suddenly resigns from school (the school does not welcome gay teachers), the short-haired aunt hurriedly took off her underwear before going out (agreement with an internet gun friend), and argued at the dinner table The conflict caused by the importance of the child (the yellow-haired girl is preparing to get pregnant, and the fat guy is gay and don't want children), the feverish Lucica... these trivial and inexplicable actions eventually become important foreshadowings in the movie, and the motivation of the characters is finally clear. Whether it is the metaphor of the lunar eclipse, the precision of the dialogue and details, and the outstanding performance of the group, the play of this film is indeed one of the best plays of the year.
The relationship between people is fragile. Whether in movies or in the real world, pure sincerity and trust in interpersonal interaction (gender-interaction) are rare things, but in order to maintain decency on the surface To maintain a safe environment, it is best to always remember to abide by the basic rules of modern social: do not break privacy, and keep your own secrets. Even if it is a marriage, it is a common practice for a large number of marriages at home and abroad to stay alive, but whether it is a secret of zero tolerance or appeasement, it is a private choice, each with its own pros and cons. Of course, the above is only a negative statement of the author, and the spectators laughed a lot.
The wonderful treatment at the end of the film is not only to meet the needs of the metaphorical effect of the lunar eclipse, but also can be regarded as a step for the cold sweat of some audiences (comedy after all). Of course, this gentle treatment is even more confirmed. This is a black fable about superficial and chaotic modern social relations.
In addition, viewers who are going to watch this film with their loved ones, please consider carefully! (I am afraid it is too late to see this RIP)
