unexpected, beyond reason

It was seriously unpleasant to watch, and it was a shocking five-star movie, but his foundation was a one-star screenwriter who was very brainless, and it can only be average in general. The screenwriter's brain damage is second only to his "Dancer in the Darkness". I watched "Dancer in the Darkness" first. It is estimated that in this film, the director will definitely make some abnormal tricks to attract attention, which is unexpected. In addition to being reasonable, every time the potential comedy plot is transformed into a tragedy so that it has an unreasonable farce element. In order to deter the audience by any means, the director's show is very important, and only by such methods can shock people's hearts. It doesn't appear to be high. Similar to "Dancer in the Darkness" and "Breaking the Waves", in order to seek the concept that he wants to express, it is very far-fetched to turn the film to the side he wants. His film "Dog Town", which has always been the opposite, is completely different. , although there are exaggerated elements and speculative stage play, but it is unexpected and reasonable. The movie "A Separation", which is about the reaction of human nature in religion, also has abnormal behaviors and two-sided psychological descriptions under religious thinking, but you can't find too many far-fetched elements. Everything is unexpected, but it does not exceed any common sense. Comparing the two, the difference is more than a little.
