"Swiss Army Knife Man": People on the ground are like isolated islands, watery and lonely

Usually movies about loneliness are depressive, because these two words sound heavy. The "Swiss Army Knife Man" uses a ridiculous story to show the state of loneliness, and uses elements full of shit and fart to let us reflect on life. The plot is funny, but the realistic meaning it reflects is heavier than the joke on the surface. Many.

The title is very straightforwardly translated as "Swiss Army Knife Man", the title directly reveals that the content of the film has lost a little bit of mystery, but seeing the Hong Kong translation of the name saves your life 3000... Well, "Swiss Army Knife Man" this The translation is great! (Manually compare heart with tears) The movie tells the story of Hank who hangs on a deserted island and meets a versatile corpse, Manny, who escapes from the deserted island together.

(The footage of the movie is particularly open, but we can't feel the communication between them and the audience. We are just as bystanders following their stories to find resonance.)

The expression of humanistic care in the movie has been sublimated to another level since the two found home. , The movie began to laugh, and then I couldn't cry. The tone of the story background and history is very relaxed. What the director showed us is a neuro comedy full of dirty jokes and nasty fun. In fact, this is a trap set by the director to mislead us. Hank has no friends or family to care about. He chose to hang himself because he has no meaning to survive. This story actually sounds very sad. So when it comes to the second half of the transition, we will be moved by this weird suffering. Although it is a ridiculous story, it uses a realistic narrative to tell the story. In the scene scheduling, the movie has a large number of beautiful empty shots, which can be used as wallpaper for scenery like the sea and the woods. However, in the realist narrative, the external world is used to set off the development of the story. The world is "transparent". The isolated island is a reflection of Hank's own heart. He has nothing. When he meets Manny, people are in extreme situations. When I saw hope, I had the instinctive desire to survive. The personalities of the two people are relative. Manny did all the things Hank dared not do. When he was surviving, Manny on the desert island became the only person Hank could talk to and rely on. Manny is also self-doubt on the journey of finding home, he feels like a freak. Hank's encouragement also helped Manny complete his self-salvation. Manny is very direct, he will not hide his emotions like Hank. This kind of character conflict deepens the fun of the movie.

The role of Harry Potter (Daniel Radcliffe) is really a test of acting skills this time. He played a versatile dead body. Certainly many people think that the dead body is easy to play, but the setting of this kind of character is more dependent on his body language to guide the audience into his role. He has to master the emotions conveyed by each action, and he also needs to know when to send out emotional signals. This is not simple at all.

(The lines are too dirty. Full of pornographic lines... ==)

There are two important props in the movie: magazines and mobile phones. The appearance of these two props has always changed the development direction of the story. The magazine gave Manny a new life. This is really too dirty. The key point: The proof of the new life is Manny's third leg standing up. Because Manny said: "It is love that brings him back to life." Another meaning of the magazine is love and growth. Hank’s growth and this magazine are also inextricably linked. In Manny’s relationship, he talked about the connection between this magazine and his father. (The same as Manny’s reaction to the magazine) The mobile phone is more important. The mobile phone triggered Manny’s cognition of love, and also brought out the conflict between Hank and Hanke. It is also because of the mobile phone. Has been promoting the development of the plot. Hank is a very cowardly person. When Manny asked him about feelings, Hank himself didn't understand. They both loved Sarah, but they behaved differently. There are many forms of love. If Manny is alive, his love must be like a tsunami-like storm. When it comes to love, every boy will be like Hank. It's okay to see the happiness of his lover, and he doesn't have the courage to step forward and greet him. Lonely people have their own quagmire, thinking that love can fill life's regrets. However, it is love that makes more regrets.

The end of the story gave an open ending. I thought it was like a reincarnation. Manny floated on the sea with his fart, and then returned to the sea with his fart at the end of the movie. The element of shit and fart is very important throughout. Manny seems to be a ridiculous existence but he saved Hank, and everyone witnessed Manny's existence at the end of the movie. So I didn't think that Manny had never existed. Hank was not like a split personality. He just trapped himself in a personal safety zone to the extreme, which is the desert island he imagined.

Everyone is a very ordinary and lonely existence. We live blindly, often feeling uneasy and confused, sensitive and cowardly. I often care about the way others look at us and live in the evaluation of others. Some words are obviously meaningless, but they still care. People's hearts are fragile. Most people don't recognize the fact that no matter whether they are accompanied or not, they are born lonely. With the care of my parents around me, my partner still feels lonely in the company. No one can empathize and experience the feelings of another person, so it seems that no one is not alone. We are all Hank, walking a path that is not favored by others.

Swiss Army Man quotes

  • Hank: You just seemed really happy, and I wasn't.

  • Hank: You know... I... I had always hoped that right before I die, my life would flash before my eyes and I would see wonderful things. A life full of parties and friends, and, and how I'd learned to play the guitar, and, and maybe there'd even be a girl; but as I was hanging up there, I didn't really see much of anything, but I did see you. And I know... I know it sounds dumb, but I, I really thought for a moment that, that maybe, just maybe there was a reason that you...
