Let me tell you a few well-known facts: New Zealand has a population of only 4 million, but 40 million sheep. It is a country that claims to be riding on the back of sheep and its economy mainly depends on the export of mutton and wool products. In such a place, sheep naturally become a very important and subtle part of the culture.
Many people think the scenes in the movie are not funny, but they are more of cultural differences. To deal with the crazy lamb, the movie says to use mint sauce (mint sauce), kiwi sees no smile here, because the traditional New Zealand gourmet grilled lamb must be served with mint sauce. There is a segment of the relationship between a man and a sheep. Everyone in the theater shows knowing smiles, because'f**k the sheep' is a traditional joke in New Zealand, which means a New Zealand woman. Women) are ugly and rude, and men prefer to have sex with sheep.
In the end, the plot of the sheep farting caused laughter, because such an exaggerated way of expression was ironic of the'farting tax' that the New Zealand government forced farmers to pay. The reason is that the heat generated by the farting of cattle and sheep is a cause of global warming. The main factor is therefore to tax the number of cattle and sheep in order to achieve the goal of'improving global warming'.
As for the fact that chemical substances cause sheep to become mad sheep, this theme actually once again expresses the firm position of the kiwis: New Zealand is pure and is working hard to remain pure. In the face of protecting the environment, the docile New Zealanders always appear to be particularly naive and stubborn. Let me give you a few examples: In 1985, the New Zealand government asked the United States to confirm whether the new US ship Buchanan was carrying nuclear weapons. The US refused. New Zealand then banned the ship from entering the port. In 1987, New Zealand formally passed an anti-nuclear law, prohibiting all warships and aircraft carrying nuclear weapons or nuclear power from entering the country. Since then, the United States announced that it would cease its security obligations to New Zealand under the Australia-New Zealand-US Treaty, thus suspending military cooperation between the two sides.
New Zealand does not hesitate to protect the purity of its own land at the cost of offending the United States. Some people say that kiwis are stupid and do not know how to work around. But in my opinion, I admire a little: Although a country is weak and small, it also has the right to self-respect and self-improvement, and it also has the backbone not to bow to the power. Black sheep may be kiwi's self-deprecating at himself again, "I don't know how to work, I don't know what to do", but in this self-deprecation, there is always a sense of being mighty and unyielding.
Black sheep is not a brilliant mainstream movie, but for Kiwi, it is a thousand words in absurdity.
