Unlike "bean sprout human travel" movies, they go straight and straight. Even if they sweep the floor, most of them are used to perseverely boast. The oblique black humorous stories are often used in the rumors of rumors and slaps. What is connotation. It's not calculating society, human nature, or politics, or calculating ignorance, moderation, or extremes, trying to avoid instinctual thinking, political correctness, and moral kidnapping. It is not to oppose but to oppose the empty melody revealed, it spares no effort to sing the world's sinking, that is to share. The so-called people who make you laugh are funny. People who make you think about laughing, humorous.

The movie "Battlefield Devil" shot in the United Kingdom and the United States in 1999 was really cool, and I was amazed by all kinds of things. Black humor, this is one of them. Although Westerners have countless gimmicks with metaphors, and any type can be used as a carrier, "Battlefield Devil" is still unique and gave me a very fresh and peculiar experience. With the help of the horror story of the "cannibals" in Mexican Indian legends, it produced a historical and humanistic action drama about the "manifestation of destiny". There is no horror effect that puts the cart before the horse, heavy taste, and the theme of the movie-reflection on war, reflection on the law of the weak and the strong, they are the relationship between the flesh and the spirit, and they are equally divided.

Female director, this is the second. Let me see that a woman who loves pots and pans symphony holding a bucket of squeezed tomato juice can also start a "tragic" cannibal war that promotes historical progress. The senses of sight, hearing, and taste are all open, the blood is torrents, the chest is opened, the human flesh is steamed, and the skeletons are everywhere...This woman has thoroughly tamed an R-rated feature film that does not rely on technology stacking with her keenness and delicacy. She must be praised in terms of ability. . In addition, she is a female Boss who has made a lot of achievements. Can unfetteredly decide the fate of any "gentleman", including how to die, calmly treat the only female character, and continue the native Indian blood. The movie is really her kingdom.

Let's talk about the acting skills of the actors. I personally feel that this film was made for consumption by a small group of people. It is a pity that it seems to be left out in the cold in reality. In this way, the actors in the entire crew, whether they are big names or emerging newcomers, have all entered a state of actual combat, which is really worthy of recognition. Needless to say, Guy Pierce, I agree with a certain movie friend that the Oscar statuette is not far away from him. Robert Carlisle, Fairy Tale Town is his honor, but it does not detract from the superb acting skills ten years ago. What impressed me the most was the "priest" who showed all the emotions of a certain type of ordinary people. He was cute and cute, a little timid and a little stupid, but he would express his dissatisfaction, lose his temper, and understand. Thirty-six strategies are the best.

Other characters also had remarkable performances. With such collective effort, a small society was completely captured by them. Far away from war and killing, the Sierra Nevada has become a "haven", with big leaders, veterinarians, priests, soldiers, native Indian brothers and sisters, marijuana smokers, and "fake heroes", and the Eight Immortals crossed the sea and stayed here. However, Einstein’s "Theory of Relativity" lifted the veil of the unpredictability of the world, "You sit next to a pretty girl for two hours, but feel that only five minutes have passed; you are next to a burning stove. After sitting for five minutes, I feel that an hour has passed. This is the theory of relativity." In other words, "Xanadu" becomes "Cannibal," and the feeling is very different.

Fleeing the war and returning to the so-called peaceful world, the blood of cannibalism still exists. Yes, throw away Plato, throw away Aristotle, get rid of ideals, morals, and society from your mind, and completely end civilization. Only in this way can we become the master of "omnipotent". In addition to Butler, whom Bernard Shaw praised highly, said, "The shortcut to honor is nothing," he also said, "Moral is the custom of a country where a person lives: in a cannibal country, cannibalism is moral. It’s a shirtless battle of power if the primitive biological desires are allowed to wreak havoc. So they can only kill, eat human flesh, rebirth full of blood, like a snowball, becoming stronger and stronger. We also need to form alliances, join forces to fight against aliens, and accelerate the speed of power. You see, "Battlefield Devil" is about the legend of cannibals and cannibalism. In fact, what it flogged was the robbers who plundered resources and killed the aborigines.

Unlike romance movies that lure you into situations, if horror movies are based on stories, when describing the afterthought, I like to devour the story outline, including the various details of the transition, and only talk about my own feelings. This drama is no exception, and there is even a kind of careful thought not to be spoiled. In fact, I always think of myself as someone who doesn't watch the introduction of the movie, but chooses the movie according to my feelings. Therefore, I want to work hard to get close to other people's imagination without sacrificing his movie-watching experience, or use my afterthoughts to eager to usher in movie friends who seek common ground while reserving differences.

In the process of watching "Battlefield Devil", I lost my mind. I remembered a certain "bedtime story" my mother told us when I was young. Just thinking about the past, it’s really warm and happy. In addition to telling us about One Thousand and One Nights, the story king of my mother is also good at telling horror stories with "heavy tastes", including ghost stories from hospital ward 12, and one-armed The fantasy story of the little girl jumping into the river and growing her arms. The next thing I want to associate with the movie is the story about the sisters of the sun and the moon, and perhaps someone has heard something similar.

The first half of the story is a transplant of the story of "The little rabbit opens the door obediently". It is said that the mother went up the mountain to pick wild fruits and cut the edamame, and she won’t be able to come back a few days later. When she left, she asked the four children not to open the door when anyone came. . As a result, the big tiger who wanted to eat human flesh ate his mother, and because of his ancestral disguise, he painted and turned himself into a mother. He stood at the door and knocked. The four children saw "Mother" through the crack in the door, and the door opened. At night, the tiger slept with four children. In the middle of the night, when the eldest child heard that "mother" was eating, she reached out for it. The tiger eats the youngest child, so he naturally refuses to give it to him. His voice is hoarse and rough. This clever child has a heart, and shakes the second sister awake, and asks the second sister to wake up the third sister. She thinks that it is not her mother. As a result, the three sisters could not be found, and they suspected that "mother" was a tiger. So using tactics, escaped the house. Praying to God outside the house, two ropes were dropped from the sky, the two sisters each made a rope, and they ascended to the sky. One became the moon and the other became the sun. Later, when the tiger saw the ascended sister, he also asked God for a rope. As a result, God threw down the rotten rope and threw the tiger to death.

The story is full of loopholes, but what I want to talk about is "cannibalism". There is a physical gap between beasts and humans, and they cannot contend, so they can only ask God for help. But person to person, there is a fifty to fifty odds of winning. As the Indian woman said, the only way to fight against the "cannibals" is to sacrifice oneself. Well, it's death anyway, it's better to die vigorously. Perhaps, I am too idealistic, but I always feel that the last few scenes at the end of "Battlefield Devil" are the most powerful explosion of the story, a kind of civilized force that does not persevere. Although the reality is cruel, like the later officer, he drank human broth, and the cycle of cannibalism was continued by him again. The human world must always exist between civilization and barbarism, but the film’s form and god still focus on In the upward force. The rhythm of the PS movie is very strong. "Battlefield Devil" is like a roller coaster, showing its charm in unexpected sharp turns, rushes, and rushes.
