In the middle school for children I went to, there was a slaughterhouse just across the wall. At some point in time, you could hear the howling of pigs. If the wind was favorable, you could also smell the smell of scalding pig hair in boiling water. If you are in During the teacher's lullaby, he was drowsy, and he suddenly heard the howling of pigs. His whole body trembled with fright. When he woke up suddenly, he would immediately return to the world where there is no meat and no pleasure, which is more than the ruler of the teacher in the Sanwei Bookstore. Works.
Later, I watched a low-cost documentary "Fresh Meat" about a frozen meat factory in China, and I always suspected that the saying of Xiao Xianrou came from here. Later, I watched the French documentary "Earth". In order to support human beings, the total amount of domesticated animals sacrificed and slaughtered was several times the sum of human beings.
In "ON BODY AND SOUL", coniferous forests, snow-melting valleys, male deer and doe foraging in streams, the picture is very quiet, wet forest, wet eyes, full of spirituality and alertness. It was clear that the stag and the doe were not strangers to each other, and they looked back at each other from time to time as if to confirm each other's existence. The big wet eyes have turned into cows in the bullpen. Their ears have "ear studs" with digital codes written on them. Every day, cows are sent to the anesthesia machine by automatic conveyor belts. They have no idea of their fate. Sensing that, the huge body collapsed to the ground, one leg was hooked by an iron hook, and then it was lifted high and transported to the slaughtering assembly line.
The 66-year-old Hungarian female director Iltyko Inyetti opened the film in the style of a DISCOVERY or Greenpeace environmental documentary. If it weren't for the spiritual beauty of the performance of the two deer, perhaps the lengthy and realistic scenes of slaughtering cattle I was really about to vomit. You don't have a crush on a slaughterhouse, and you don't have a crush on a tall, thin old man with a stiff arm that can be lifted to his chest with the other, who looks like Turin The old farmer in "The Horse" is very similar, he needs his daughter to help him undress because his left arm is disabled.
He was always at his desk, never in the slaughterhouse, and his windows overlooked the rest of the slaughter workers. He will slowly win your favor, because he has a sea-like calmness, and there is an air of excess spiritual life on his face, although you can hardly remember what it looks like when he laughs. It seems that it can't be worse, he is actually the male protagonist of this love film.
The film was translated into "Flesh and Spirit", and naturally it has to tell a love story with a high degree of harmony between body and mind. Under the premise of the above environment and character setting, how do you ingeniously conceive a heart-warming, unconventional film that is warmly welcomed by countless film connoisseurs, and even abandons the political bias of the Berlin Film Festival and casts valuable votes Giving it the winner of the 2017 Berlin Film Festival's biggest prize, the Bear, is an extremely challenging question.
The latest "A Dog's Mission" has a realistic feel to every puppy and its owner, but the way it's structured is surreal. Because this is not "Guide Dog Q" or "Hachiko the Loyal Dog", it is not a drama that pursues a sense of reality and authenticity. Borrowing the rich dog's life experienced by a dog's many reincarnations, I tell people the most simple chicken soup philosophy, the first important thing in life is to be happy, and the second is to help the people you love. The movie is so superficial, but it touched countless people, including myself who cried like a dog.
"Flesh and Spirit" is also a surreal movie with a concept first. She digs deeper into the story of the autistic girl in "Amelie" who successfully found her soul mate, turning the French style of small freshness and handsome boys and beauties into Eastern European ones. The heavy taste and its unassuming young and old couples make the impossible possible, which is what makes this movie amazing and impressive.
The window where the daily scenery seems to be boring and repeated one day, a blonde woman appeared, she stood there out of tune with everyone, the sun shone on the toes of her shoes, she moved meticulously and quietly into the shadows, and this action Get a panoramic view of him. She was prepared for him, and everyone knew that the female director made the audience see the answer at a glance.
But they still have to climb a thousand mountains and rivers.
All the people are setting up near-miss obstacles, and the vague induction between him and her is facing interruption at any time. Because she is a woman with obsessive-compulsive disorder who is more autistic than a man. At best, he is hard to find a friend and has to be alone, but the heroine is a sexual disorder patient who is confused about the relationship between men and women and can't take care of herself at all. Here, the deer that appeared in the opening chapter finally came in handy. The deer in the animal world, which was inserted without warning in an alternate montage, turned out to be a scene in the night dream of two strangers. This is the "same one". The world, the same dream" Ah.
The dream at night is actually the realm of the real soul. All the soul codes of two people who are so similar are on the same frequency, but the physical body is still imprisoned in the cage of rationality during the day, unable to break free from the shackles of social environment and self-consciousness. Like the animals in the stalls to be slaughtered.
When the female protagonist invited the male protagonist to try to live in the same room and dream together again, the male protagonist was determined to return to his old life because of his failure last time, but he declined. The female protagonist decided to kill the useless self indifferently, just like slaughtering The farm handles livestock the same way. When the bleeding continued, the male protagonist called and said that he regretted it. In fact, he really wanted to dream with her. The hostess wrapped her wrists with various plastic bags and packaging materials, which is great! Finally, I had sex with my soul mate before I died, and the audience's heart fell to the ground. Is there anything better than this?
No.
They finally became fair before God. The female protagonist hung a wounded arm and put the male protagonist's handicapped hand that fell unconsciously on the edge of the bed back to her side with pity. At the breakfast table the next day, the male protagonist smiled, like every happy ordinary man, the traces of excessive spiritual life on his face disappeared, and it became so mundane.
