A niche movie last year turned out to be a movie staring into the abyss.

The film begins with a dialogue between a middle-aged man and an older man, and runs through the serial murder of the middle-aged man. The director does not stand in the perspective of justice or evil of the consistent victims, but through the narration dialogue to express the process of constantly falling into the abyss of sin until hell.

The man is an engineer, obsessive-compulsive, and demanding about things. On a drive, he met a man with broken thoughts, and he got angry for a while and killed and thrown the corpse in anger. Since then, he has used the freezing room as a morgue and started non-stop murder.

Men are very rational people, they cannot empathize, they just follow the order they make. As described in the movie, like a person walking into a continuous street lamp, the lamp of moral justice and the shadow of evil around him are constantly torn and contested. Killing, rejoicing, then suffering from sin, then accumulating resentment, then continuing to kill to vent...

Men don't have high IQs like the male protagonist of "Killing Classroom", and they trample their lives on their feet without humanity. He just met a woman who likes to ridicule, shattered the peaceful humanity he was trying to maintain, and then the humanity gradually lost, and the cold sense of order gradually became the whole of his life. He began to despise those foolish women, disgusted that they are timid, weak and unreasonable, and order can only be maintained by eliminating them.

So in the end, until the lights above his head were getting dimmer, he was covered in darkness, and then killing ended up being a massacre experiment. - that is, build your own house. The land is his own, using the hardest and most perishable materials, this is his most perfect art, the art of death and decay.

At this time, Satan came, sat upright, quietly asked for advice, led him through the dark passage, and reached hell, showing his green face and fangs, tempting moths to fly into the fire. In the story, he was buried in the sea of ​​fire, but in reality he will always exist in hell, unable to return to the world.

    A letter of confession, confession, eulogy, and hymn dedicated to Lars von Trier. First, the director constantly overthrows and accepts the curse to comfort the self-absorbed and powerless self, and completes self-abuse in the image of an abuser. Only by forcing himself into the most extreme darkness can he recognize the most subtle light. Second, the director creates all kinds of terrifying situations that challenge the viewer's bottom line like a work of art, and lure everyone to release the ghosts that have been hidden in their hearts for a long time. All discomfort, numbness, fear and pleasure are the projections of your own subconscious. Third, all the ultimate artists or politicians, such as the immortal greats and sinners who stand on the top of no one, are aiming at the unreachable light years away, on this rough road without a frame of reference. In , everything becomes a fuzzy area, and the unknown is the most dangerous and perfect other side.

    It's like going through hell, it's so cool, everyone is chasing the light, only Crazy Hoofer pays attention to the shadows under the light source, the male protagonist is an emotionless killer, but living in this indifferent world, no one else is better than him. There is a human touch, the house of the corpse and Bao Ye's songs are excellent
