are you idiot!

Being deceived by the Chinese title, "Fast Pig Killing" is definitely not a cool film like "Fast Pursuit", but a slow literary and artistic film. Although Keanu is for a dog, and now Cage is for a pig, but Topic structure is a completely different matter. . . Truffle is a kind of mushroom that grows in the ground. Because there is no sign of growth on the surface, and because of its delicious taste, it has become a luxury food highly respected by European aristocrats. When truffles mature, they release an odor that only animals with a keen sense of smell can smell, so the deliciousness of pigs is undoubtedly reflected here. People don't raise pigs to eat pork, but to hunt pigs specially trained to hunt for truffles. This is director and screenwriter Michael Sarnowski's first feature film, and it can be considered a "metaphysical" type of film. A lot of blank space requires the audience to make up their own minds and imaginations. The plot is very simple: Cage's little pig was taken away, and then in order to find his own pig, he embarked on a pig-hunting journey. Online word of mouth and reviews are good, but it's really not my dish. Said to be looking for pigs, in fact, is the meaning: let go of the fetters of the spiritual journey of return, the pig that was snatched away is just an obsession in everyone's heart that is unwilling to let go. . . A few years ago, Uncle Cage was devastated by an international financial turmoil, his finances collapsed, and he owed a huge amount of debt. Then he took films like crazy, no matter the quality was good or bad, as long as the remuneration was ideal enough. As a result, the works, box office, and ratings continued to "beat the street", and the title of bad movie king came from this... Finally, the word of mouth of this "Pig" finally won him some praise, so I hope he will slowly recover in the future. To the previous state of bravery, the more you fight, the more brave you are.

    It's really not suitable for this theme to not make action movies.

    Despite Nicolas Cage's blood-shattering appearance and the typical revenge thriller plot in the first half, the director is in fact deliberately guiding the audience's expectations, shifting from a killing action movie to a heartwarming psychoanalysis story. The theme is to explore how to get out of the grief of losing a loved one and return to the process of peace and self-reconciliation. As the core of the script, food not only hides the true identity of the protagonist, but also has another profound meaning. The script uses this to point criticism at the intertwined relationships in the high-end catering industry, from the procurement of ingredients to cooking production, to customer reviews and profit, all full of commercial flavor. The deliberately omitted script provides the audience with room to recall, and also leaves a huge space for Cage to play. His extremely restrained performance imbues the character with a mystique that keeps guessing about his true psychology and purpose of action. Definitely his turnaround!
