Recently, "Youth of You" has brought a wave of heated discussions about campus bullying, thanks to Yi Yang Qianxi's star effect. The horror movie I watched tonight also tells a story of bullying. After watching all the students want to escape this depressive air immediately, the whole film is extremely dark and perverted, almost destroying the three views, suffocating and nauseating. The film describes how a sick tropical fish shop owner Murata persecuted the Sheben family step by step, and finally "trained" Sheben into the role of a sick perpetrator. In the process of watching the film, I kept recalling the plot in Keigo Higashino's "Malicious". Why are school violence perpetrators keen to commit violence? First, there is a physical advantage: strong, weak classmates succumb to his fists, and other violent members of his team are actually victims and passive. The second is to be good at inciting the anger of others, exploiting the weaknesses of others, contempt for each other in terms of personality, mentally ill, and enjoying the pleasure of power. . Murata is such an image: taking advantage of his financial advantages, from the very beginning, he created the illusion of "I am better" for the mother and daughter of Sheben, showing off his colorful fish, driving a Ferrari, handing out business cards, and letting Sheben From the very beginning, he had a strong sense of inferiority, recalling the pictures of his wife and daughter punching and kicking in his own home, but Murata could easily make them laugh. Murata is particularly good at exploiting people's weaknesses: his daughter's dissatisfaction with his family and his stepmother, Taeko's disdain for his low status in the society, and his inability to be excluded by his daughter. For the illusion that they could escape a life of poverty, they were willing to be charged by him. Sheben is to survive in this completely undignified useless, without any sense of gain in sex and love, not even sympathy, just endless ridicule, he is a downright weak. Even though he realized that the business of selling tens of millions of yuan of rare fish was unreliable and he was afraid of the autopsy scene, he still became an accomplice. Before every crime, Murata reminded him to think about his wife and daughter, and asked him to go with "love" Crime, instigating him, provoking him, insulting him in character, teaching him to think of himself as a bad person from the inside out. Until the end, Sheben was finally provoked to become a perpetrator, making people endlessly sigh about the reincarnation of this bullying relationship. The image of Murata's perpetrators is vividly displayed in various details in the film: such as violent rape, ravaging Takashi's chest, slapping Takashi's face, asking Sheben to recite confessions that were not present, laughing at Sheben's astronomical dreams, a lot of 's close-up makes the ugly image of Shemoto's bullying even more annoying. Everyone has their own hidden violent tendencies: Murata's wife and the female store clerk rubbed their bodies with plush toys to tease each other. After Shemoto committed suicide, his daughter laughed at the blood pouring out from him... Unexpectedly, It's based on real events, and it's a real outrage.

    I am a lonely person, a beloved husband, and a cowardly father. The love of life is to be able to go to the planetarium with my family and look at the stars until one day 2 trespassers completely changed my life in the stagnant pool. It changed from calm to fear, from fear. Turned into despair, I finally lifted the blade, even if the blood ran into a river, my family was ruined and I had no regrets, because of the blue planet in the bright night sky, I can finally open my eyes forever and just smile at you

    Sono Ziwen's film logic can never stand up to scrutiny. The story of a group of people under tense family relationships being broken by external forces and falling apart is also badly filmed. Miike and Tsukamoto are 100 times stronger than Ya. Adding some cheap plasma can't solve the problem, and even the posters are still like "Straw Dog", alas~ no promise.
