"Breeds of Animals" is a weird movie. The appearance of youth films, the rhythm of thrillers, and the core of ethical films, from the lens to the soundtrack, are full of weirdness. The film's tempo is so slow that it makes people sleepy, but it uses all kinds of abrupt and unreasonable methods to entice you to speculate on the deep undercurrents of the image.
In the deep and secluded mansion, the tyrannical and indifferent stepfather, the cowardly and slow mother, the sensitive and vain girl, the temporary visitor, the decadent and world-weary childhood companion of the girl. A few people walking around in the big house, their daily routine without speaking is just listening to the movement in another room with their ears erected, standing in the shadows and spying intentionally or unconsciously. The dark corridors and complicated curtains are full of weirdness. , Silently talked about the damage that was not visible. Lily's timid hatred of stepfather, the cold tone of stepfather when speaking to Lily, and Lily's mother's laissez-faire attitude towards stepfather and daughter are all imaginative. It’s very strange to watch the two girls mention the murder of their father again after a while, and feel that they are about to take action in the next scene, but seeing them hesitate and delay, I feel fortunate and disappointed again, and I am fortunate that they are not stupid. What's lost is that they just talked about it.
The seemingly weak lily is a vixen in a Chinese dress. Her eyes are full of greed. To the rich but repressive life, she works hard while waiting for the opportunity to resist. Amanda is a little witch with spontaneous magic power. She has high IQ. She is a young and mature woman who can clearly see the world's routines and cards, and speaks about decadence and boredom at a speed that is so fast that others can't hear her. Amanda saw through Lily's elaborate disguise when she first met, and felt funny and angry. She laughed at her botched disguise in front of her childhood confidant, and was angry at the harsh and ruthless transformation of her life. In the final analysis, Amanda is just theoretically decadent and disgusting with the world. Emotionally, she still reluctant to part with the friendship Lily established when she was a child, and Lily also spotted this, and carefully designed Lily to help her with the crime of killing her father. . The feelings of two people are actually misaligned. Amanda was tired of lily, but because of her childhood innocent companionship, she couldn't help her emotionally. As she said, it doesn't really matter where she lives. Since it is troublesome, she doesn't bother to refuse. In this cooperation, there is even a sense of sacrifice and persecution. After meeting Lily's father, Amanda ruthlessly recounted the process of killing her beloved horse, which was actually nothing but a conspiracy in the concretization of Lily's subconscious mind.
In this way, the real danger in life is those fine and motivated girls. They look innocent and feel at a loss when they do something extraordinary. In fact, they hide in the rules and morals and wait for an opportunity. No mercy. Those who are lazy are actually the most harmless.
In contrast, the little gangster who always says that he will one day be the big brother is more interesting. After being coerced into taking part in Lily’s father-killing operation, he wanted to quit midway, but Amanda broke his head and dragged him into the bathtub. After waking up, he was scribbled like a clown and said in tears, I want money to go to the hospital. Worry about it, how can I tell my father. It's so cute.
