Why do rubber tires kill people? No reason.
Why watch a movie in the desert? No reason.
Why is the sky blue? No reason.
Quentin Dupieux's "rubber" (Rubber Tyre Killer) is a movie that tells you that there is no reason for everything.
A group of viewers are watching a movie about tire killing in the desert. That's how it is, don't pursue why. To be more mysterious, existence is greater than essence, and the entanglement of cause and effect violates the rules of the chaotic world.
The Rubber Tyre Killer is a wonderful movie. It has the elements of American B-level movies in the 70s and 80s. Then you can take a tomato and shoot disaster movies. Just making a snowman is a serial killer's B film golden age. . However, as time changes, the pursuit of this precious spirit of doing boring things with all its strength has declined. After entering the 21st century, it is even rarer. The appearance of rubber tire killers is enough to make B film fans shine.
The protagonist of the movie: a tire, the appearance of grandeur and heroism, had to let the B film fan applaud director Quentin Dupieux's "boring" creativity.
However, viewing the rubber tire killer as a 21st-century B-level film is only a one-sided generalization. In addition to the nostalgic B film spirit, it is wonderfully blended with surrealism. No reason is its foundation, and the constant discarding of common sense can promote the story of the rubber tire killer. It even has a metaphysical element. The spectators watching tire killings in the desert are part of the movie, and they can also cross the walls of the drama and interfere with the world of tire killers. The whole movie is like a challenge to yourself. Where can a story with tires as the protagonist last? It was simply the biggest joke the director made to himself, and it was a challenge on the premise of a surrealist.
The protagonist tires, from having the ability to act alone to sell a cute stepping on a glass bottle, to the sudden super-power headshot, as the movie continues, they are constantly eye-catching. Seriously and seriously expand a seemingly boring idea to the largest extent, especially in terms of shooting techniques and suspenseful tension, it is true to life, and there is even a classic thriller style, which makes people think that the tire killer can be comparable to Jack the Ripper for a moment. The sad figure of the tire abandoned into the swimming pool, the line of sight looking upward across the bottom of the water, is as grand as the opening of Sunset Boulevard. The horror tires that peeped at the beauty of the heart in the bath, and the alien rubber that was run over by a truck and also had an immortal body, are all the basic qualities of a monster with a name and history.
As for the accountants who have to deal with the audience if the plot cannot be edited, the model dolls that seduces the tires, etc., are all the sensibility that cannot be pursued for reasons. In the end, the resurrected mutated tricycle will still run to the embrace of Hollywood.
Director Quentin Dupieux actually has a more well-known name, Mr. Oizo, a French experimental electronic musician, the whole film has a somewhat rebellious electronic soundtrack, with a bright rhythm and adding some unique texture to the whole film. , Also let Dupieux film establish a personal style, the integration of audiovisual and audio is very high. The tribute to the B-level movie is wonderfully combined with the surrealist style, and it has become a unique movie. Although there are imperfect answers to the challenge of the "rubber killer" subject, who cares? , Anyway, everything is for no reason.
