Even the biggest and loyal fans of horror and mystery films may find it difficult to love movies like fun games. It does not have any behavioral motives (the lake of Eden still has the origin of conflict), nor any horror images and atmosphere that impact visual senses and psychological feelings (the achievements of American and Japanese horror films for decades have been dispelled, even "The Cabin in the Woods" pales in comparison). Similarly, it has no ending. In the joking eyes of Michael Pitt looking at the audience, this killing game is undoubtedly still going on. I believe that after the classic rewind shot in the middle is over, the audience will want to pick up the nearest thing at hand and throw it at the screen. If even the ghost film has the beginning of evil and evil, Haneke will make such a movie. For what?
But those who are familiar with Haneke's style will read some clues from his creative trajectory. He has always insisted on shooting crimes, sadomasochism and other movies because he likes to directly use movies to push the deep-seated human nature that ordinary audiences avoid and enjoy. His presentation of the life of the elderly and the torture of life and death in "Love" broke through the forbidden zone that many popular entertainments avoid. Going back to the fun game, the game here is not just the cruel and elegant pursuit of two young people in the movie, but a ridicule and teasing for mainstream audiences and mass entertainment. For decades of horror films, suspense films, and crime films that have been close to finalization, he has worked hard to oppose what he likes. A lens that impacts vision? No, no, in Haneke's shots, two evil young men are elegant and polite. All killing scenes can be skipped. The plasma used in a movie may not be as much as Quentin's shot. An atmosphere that makes people fearful? Hanek also passed. He even broke the fourth wall and talked directly with the audience, telling everyone the final outcome. Deep interpretation of criminal motives? Come on, Haneke doesn't want to be a social psychologist. He tells the audience in his name that this is just a funny game!
Therefore, watching a fun game, if we are entangled in the plot, feeling the helplessness of the protagonist, and angry at the evil of mp, then we are in Hanek's arms. This time he aimed the camera at not tim rose, but every ordinary person involved in audience psychology and mainstream media. In the real world, no one likes horror and blood plasma, but we still like movies like horror films. This type of film is a direct manifestation of certain factors in the depths of human nature that we selectively ignore, and indulge ourselves in the virtual. Desire, maintaining decency and elegance in real life, so that we are all familiar with the double-sided life, Haneke just can’t understand (he has always been like this), he said bluntly at the end that the virtual is also a kind of reality, because We have all seen it. He conducted a psychology experiment with the general public, and threw out the conspiracy that content providers and recipients had never announced for decades without any cover. In order to allow the audience to fully reflect on their own movie-watching habits, he has carefully crafted the drama and designed every shot and scene as much as possible. The protagonist in the opening game guesses the classic music and suddenly cuts into the heavy metal rock, the elegant golf club is used as the tool of the murder, the rewind which makes the audience shocking, and the contempt of the MP when the heroine cuts the rope at the end, Haneke Amphibious, sound and light will not fall, challenging the audience's accustomedness in all aspects. Even the fact that he remakes his own movie without moving frame by frame is already a major mockery of the mainstream entertainment industry. Through Michael's charming eyes, can't you see the smirk of that bearded man?
At the end of the film, mp's eyes are undoubtedly included in the hall of fame of human film history with Song Kanghao's classic glimpse in "Memories of Murder". Movies shouldn't just make people feel comfortable and exciting. After all, daily life is too trivial, humble and superficial. If we can't feel the impact, accept purification, and taste the various forms in art, then, what do we want art for?
hi, beard, your fun game, i'm in!
