The beginning of the movie was a happy little family on the way to vacation. The couple played a game of guessing the song name in the car. They laughed and laughed all the way. After arriving at the vacation house, the two were dressed in white suits, well-mannered, courteous and thoughtful. The young man came to their house in the name of borrowing an egg. First, the egg was broken for no reason, the phone was deliberately dropped into the water, and then the couple was irritated with calm and gloomy methods. Finally, they attacked their husband and kidnapped the family of three. , Started a cruel "fun game". The
above storyline will easily make people think that this is just a simple bloody violent film, breaking into the house, hijacking violently, daring to survive, and finally escape from the clutches.. It's as disappointing that many people would go to see Haneke's previous work
After reading "Fun Game", ask yourself what your first feeling is, and you can't escape the terms "cruel", "despair", "fear", or "being swallowed". Since the murderer started playing the "fun game", the atmosphere has been breathing in the struggle to survive. The son's escape made people see hope, but with a gunshot, the first person to die in the film turned out to be innocent and innocent. Then the heroine thought that he could escape, but was still caught back intact. The man tried his best to dry the phone, thinking that he could call the police, but unexpectedly the phone was not waterproof. Life did not see a miracle. Soon, the hero was assassinated. Meng Mengliang, the murderer took the woman to sit on the boat. The woman was struggling with a knife. Sitting in front of the TV, I cheered excitedly while gratifying. I thought to myself that the director was finally willing to let the audience vent their depressed emotions, but I never expected it. Yes, in the next shot, the murderer gently pushed, and the woman fell into the lake without any struggle or calling for help. She was drowned without splashing at all. After going ashore, the two murderers knocked on the door of another house and said to the hostess politely: Hello, I am across the lake. May I ask you how many eggs you can borrow?
If you just feel pain, anxious, sad, and even wish you could rush into the screen and kill two gay guys to the slightest, then don’t be too sad, because the emotional excitement will quickly fade away. Change The last Jin Kelly or Stephen Chow, make sure you forget what the last movie was talking about. If you only have the above feelings, then sorry, you really did not understand this movie. "Fun Game" is not a simple and maddening killing event, it also has many profound meanings and warnings in it.
The first is the irony of the media. Michael Haneke has always had a deep hatred of electronic media. Among his works I have seen, "Benny's Videotape" and "Hidden Camera" are the most prominent. The little boy is addicted to videotape. The compressed air gun is used under the camera (the same gun is used in the old man, I don't know if the Coen brothers were inspired by Haneke), and the best director's work at the Cannes Film Festival in 2005
Another very important issue in "Fun Game" is to tease the audience. This is a bit like the Belgian film "Man bites a dog", which throws the photographer into the circle and commits a crime together. If you pay careful attention, in the "Fun Game", the murderer repeatedly turned his eyes away from the victim and cast his eyes on the camera coldly, and the picture became the murderer speaking to the "movie audience". For the first time, a woman was looking for the murdered puppy outside the house. The murderer kept reading the prompt, but suddenly turned her head and blinked at the camera, as if she was saying: Hey, the game has started, you watch . The second time in the living room, when the murderer announced the rules of the game to the victim, he suddenly turned his head and asked the audience: "Which side are you on? Do you think they will die?" It was chilling. The last time he was torturing the male protagonist, the murderer asked the audience again: Do you think this is almost the case? Don't you want to see a plausible ending? "
The audience can come to the realization when they see here. It turns out that the director really has something. He first regarded the "audience" as a visitor, then became a participant, and finally nakedly teased the "audience" as the originator of the criminal motive. Remember when the two young men took the heroine back to talk after they went out for a while? Peter said: Almost, it should be ninety minutes now. It turns out that they played the game of catching and releasing Cao with women just to Enriching the film to meet the standard screening time. At the end of the film, the heroine was pushed off the lake, and Paul asked Peter: "Why did you kill someone so soon?" The end time has not yet arrived. . "This refers to the time when the movie ends, and it is said that these two murderers have not been able to get the correct motives of killing all the time. In fact, it comes from the needs of the audience and meets the needs of you and me in front of the TV, because the image itself It's virtual. If you don't watch it, you can't talk about violence. Turning on the TV and accepting the picture prompted the birth of this violent incident.
Although the motive was created by the audience, in the final analysis, the audience is also the victim. After watching the movie on the sofa silly, it was as if he was raped by the image fiercely. Like a SB, the whole process was bored. I immersed my scalp into the deserted and desolate lens, and watched the lives die. After a movie, the whole person was like a hedgehog stabbed by a javelin, and it was painful. However, maybe you have overlooked another detail. After the heroine died, we waited for a long and pleasant scene to suddenly appear. The heroine shot Peter to death. The panicked Paul somehow found a remote control and hurriedly rewinded it. The tough guy turned the time back and rescued Peter. Haneke's use of this trick is really admirable. The audience thought that this shot could relieve the depression of the first ninety minutes, but they did not expect that a small remote control would restore the movie to its miserable original state. At this moment, the difference between heaven and hell lies in such a small remote control, but this remote control does not refer to the life remote control in Paul’s hand, but the DVD remote control in front of the audience. Heaven is the stop button. , Hell is the play button. As long as you don’t press stop to watch the movie, Haneke will successfully complete an ambitious warning.
"Fun Game" was made by Haneke's remake of his ten-year-old work "The Great Heart". The storyline and setting are almost identical, just like Gus Van Sant's remake of Lao Xi's bad film "The Horror", a remake Others pay tribute, but the remake of myself emphasizes that Haneke’s unmoving full remake, on the one hand, subverts Hollywood’s traditional rules, kills dogs and slaughters babies in movies, and can finally go against the world. On the other hand, it ignores the appreciation habits of mainstream people and treats viewers as playthings (fortunately, this version was filmed specifically for Americans, and I feel a little comforted). On the surface arrogant, arrogant and arrogant, in fact, his bones are still full of shocking power. Through "Fun Game", Haneke re-emphasizes the revealing and accusing of the indestructible violence in real life, media violence, technological violence , Impermanent violence, greedy violence, and unknown violence, etc. Chaos, despair, fear, confusion, numbness, these are all derivatives of violence. Looking back over the past decade, technology has become stronger and more powerful, and life has become more and more powerful. Come and enjoy, the war is getting fiercer, the riots are getting worse, and happiness is getting harder and harder to obtain. What have we changed?
