fear

The feeling of depression and fear runs through the whole movie. The protagonist lives in utter fear all day long. I think all this is related to his childhood life experience and identity. At that time, the Jews in Europe had been subjected to exclusion, discrimination, and oppression and killing, and the director It’s because of the victimization and personal experience. I think this film is actually a living portrayal of a foreigner in France.

Several details of this film truthfully reflect the discrimination of the French:

1-His companion French puts his family at home Turning the volume up to the maximum, and also intimidating the neighbors who came to persuade him, this same male protagonist creates a great contrast to the landlord’s commitment. The reason is only because the partner is a pure French, and he is completely free in his own country. No sense of fear

2- The police told him that you don’t seem to cherish your ID. Although the protagonist is not born French but just naturalized, the protagonist’s legs are shaking with fear. It seems that there has never been a law that requires us to cherish your identity. It is not allowed to be a little bit tattered? Since when did the ID card become the category of police management? Does the male protagonist have to be so afraid? The reason is that the Jews have low social status and are afraid of being unjustly wronged again. Everything wants to calm down.

3- The landlord repeatedly interferes with the life of the actor. I allow the slightest noise, and I even allow the prostitute to go home. As far as I know, when the tenant rents the house, the tenant has complete Freedom to control and use the room. The landlord’s harsh requirements and threats are accepted by the hero. The weakness of the hero’s character is caused by long-term repression and fear.

Specifically, what does the hero fear? What does his neighbor have? What can you do? The film talks about the second day of the party, his colleagues read the newspaper together, because someone was murdered because he made too much noise at night to disturb the dream. This is exactly what the hero is afraid of, afraid of no reason Murdered. I think it’s actually a metaphor for the unprovoked cruelty of Jews by Europeans at the time. The

long-term fear finally broke out. Instead of waiting for the murdered male protagonist to take extreme measures, suicide. And it was two suicides. This may not be a good thing. Solution. Some people may ask, why not move? In fact, no matter where you move, the fate of being excluded will not change. This is the fate of the Jews in Europe at that time...

The director is actually not directing or acting, but telling his own personal experience...

    【6.0】I don't like it very much. . There are indeed plenty of metaphors. . Male lead neuropathy series. However, although many of them are fantasies of the male protagonist, some of them are real, that is, the indifference of the neighbors. . Polanski set up a lot of suspense throughout the film. . But I didn't solve it. I don't really like movies that let the audience make up their own minds. BTW, did Adjani come to give welfare to the director? . Polanski ah →_→
