A "crime film" with an uncertain future

When I finished watching "Fun Game", I felt quite uninteresting. I looked at my girlfriend with pain and complained about me, "How can I find such a movie for me?" Yes, how can I find such an extremely gloomy "evil" movie to watch, and still keep watching it? It can only be said that the director is too bad. He kept looking for signs in the film to give me hope of "explosive revenge" later, and then insidiously extinguished it. Compared with this film, no crime film can be called a "crime film", so that a film that makes the audience feel violated is a complete "crime film." The director Michael Haneke is the criminal who directed this crime. I can only admit disgustingly, from a technical point of view, he does have a hand.

Yes, why do I look for such a movie to watch, because this film is a conspiracy made by the director. First of all, you must be hooked. So, look at the cast, Watts. How many fans can imagine the gorilla sentimental charming woman overturned by New York; Tim Rose, how many people moved by the "Sea Pianist", the charm of 1900 is certainly not to be underestimated; and what about Mylpite , Think about the sunny and literary youth in "The Dreamer", how can you not let people look forward to it. In fact, this is already a fairly mainstream cast, and just looking at this lineup has made people look forward to this film. Well, look at the director, although many people will find it unique through the introduction, especially the original version of the film has a "notorious", but after all, this is the American version. In terms of filming scale, European films are usually larger than the United States. Therefore, we have reason to believe that this film will be improved to become a story of wicked arrogance, and the victims finally rise up and revenge. With this kind of expectation, I believe that many people, like me, started this film, and started the process of being tricked by the director.

The crime mode of the villain in this film belongs to the two-person joint, one-master-one-slave model. The audience who has watched the American drama "Criminal Minds" should be familiar with this. There is an episode of two people who used a puppy to be hit by a car as an excuse to enter another family and commit crimes. It is very similar to this film, and it has already been analyzed in the TV series. The film started in a peaceful and peaceful atmosphere, and the family of three went to the resort for vacation. After that, what we saw was a tragedy caused by a few eggs on the surface. I like to define some movie genres myself. I define this film as a "director-audience confrontation type". The director seems to have made it clear that he wants to treat the audience as an imaginary enemy, can't get through with the audience, and leads the audience to a trap he set, and then tighten The rope stunned the audience, and he still laughed. This film tries to exaggerate the powerlessness of people in the face of "evil". The film starts with borrowing eggs. The enthusiastic hostess helps people sent by her familiar neighbors, but she falls into disaster because of this, which seems to be mocking people. Be enthusiastic and tell people "Never talk to strangers", even if they claim to have something to do with people you know. Then there is the family’s powerlessness in the face of the wicked. Watching this film, many viewers feel that they are anxious. Why does the wife watch the hope leave her when facing an opportunity to ask the neighbor for help, even if she is righteous? The husband, who was guarded by a wicked man, was worried, but her obedience at the time was still worrying. The irony of this film is that when a family faces evil, what we usually hope is for the husband to come forward and the wife desperately to protect the children. But in this film, what we see is that the husband is the weakest and the wife shows It is also about gains and losses, but the children showed stronger resistance and started the most powerful struggle in the family.

When the struggle arises, I think the film will develop in a good direction, but when the audience is thinking this way, the director must be smiling. The child struggled, only to find that the neighbor who was trying to ask for help had been killed. He raised the gun to the wicked and found that the bullet was gone, but provided the wicked with a murder weapon. But after the wife escaped with the help of the two bad guys when they went out, when she was worried that they would return and missed a passing car, she rushed to stop one with anticipation, only to find that this time she ran into the car returned by the wicked. Look at how cold irony the plot design is. The director also intentionally left some small clues for people to be hooked. For example, when the husband started to disembark to check the home, he left a knife in the cabin. Later, when the wife was kidnapped on the boat by two wicked men, I thought I could see it. The clue in front is for the wife to pick up the knife and stab the arrogant villain to death. It turned out to be good. She found the knife, but when cutting the tied rope with the knife, she was discovered by the villain. Her desire to survive was also mocked by the opponent. "Olympic spirit", the result was simply thrown off the boat and drowned.

The most absurd and worst plot design of the film is that the wicked let his wife choose how to die for her husband. When the wicked one among the wicked triumphantly asks his wife whether he will stabb her husband to death with a knife or shoot with a shotgun, The wife violently picked up the shotgun and fired a shot at the other person. At this moment, I feel quite hearty. Here comes the time for revenge. My wife will transform into a nemesis and kill the remaining one. However, the elf bastard snatched the gun, and even picked up a remote control to "play back" the film until his wife raised the gun. At this time, when the wife tried to raise the gun again, he was caught and seized it, a revenge. It was played back like this and then cut off. Damn it, am I watching "Fantastic Remote"? How can it be so nonsense. The director did this deliberately. He told us with such a plot, stop dreaming, and don't think that the wicked are all fools. They are all babbles waiting for the victims to have a chance to resist. This film is rendered here with the power and randomness of evil, so arbitrary that you can reverse black and white and change the time and space. In the face of such evil, how can you not be stunned by all your thoughts and then get angry, not to mention the evil people in the film are still facing each other from time to time. The location of the camera, which is the provocative speech of the audience, makes people even more maddening.

Therefore, I was scolded badly when I watched this film, not because of how bad the film itself is and how bad the actors are, but because of the views expressed in it that make people break down. How can human nature be so evil? How can resistance be so weak? Many times, we expect the wicked on the screen to be punished, precisely because in reality, we know too many examples of tragedies, and we know that in the face of evil, we are often powerless, and often can only remedy and punish the wicked after the event, but the tragedy is inevitable. It is impossible to rewind as in the film (so, when the evil in the film is punished, it can be rewinded, which makes us even more angry), not to mention that many people are at large. It is precisely because we cannot solve the crime problem perfectly and effectively punish some villains who run rampant. Therefore, on the screen, there are Spider-Man and Superman going into the sky, and only the little people face the gratifying resistance of evil deeds. This is Our placebo. In "Fun Game", the director broke our expectations with a reality-based absurdity, which is difficult to refresh. It is hard to say whether this film will be as popular as the current word of mouth. , You know, "A Clockwork Orange", "Born Murderer", and "Sodom 120" are also notorious films. Of course, now you can tell me what anti-totalitarian films have and satirize the media. This kind of social significance, but after the advent of any film, there is a secondary creative process that is deconstructed and analyzed. A film such as "Fun Game" is at a delicate moment. Everyone angrily denounces its point of view, but it is precisely This expanded the discussion on it, and it is hard to say that this film will be deconstructed into such a look later.

Perhaps, in depression, we can also reverse thinking positively. Although the counterattack against the wicked in the film is "rewinded", we know that in reality "rewind" cannot happen, which shows that we still have to face evil. Odds. At the end of the film, two wicked men went to a family to "borrow eggs". We know that another round of good and evil has begun. The previous story made us feel pessimistic about it. However, serial crimes usually missed. Maybe this time. I strongly suggest that the producer of "Criminal Minds" talk to the director of the film, Michael Haneke, about copyright issues, and then come to an episode of this depressing story. Let the big guys fighting criminals in the TV series deal with these two bastards, and give us some comfort. Michael Haneke is a "conscience discovery" that has added a block to a large audience.
