A daily curse pretending to be a film critic

After watching it, I found out that it was directed by Ben Wheatley, which was much more annoying than the crazy movie of the tourist. The ending is very unexpected. The image of women in the whole movie has been missing, but they always appear as wives, handymen, sexual objects and patriarchal accessories, but in the end they have launched an uprising that is more direct and brutal than the lower class. The film left me with three main impressions, one is the evolution and degradation of masculinity, the other is humanity and animality, and the third is the class performance in a miniature society. In terms of masculinity, Dou Sen’s role obviously represents the male image of metrosexual, focusing on appearance, polite and polite, and sometimes even considered feminine or sissy by some people, while the role of Luge is as a communist (there are in the room) Che Guevara), the overall temperament is much rougher than Dousen's character, representing the traditional masculinity, strong, rough, rebellious and informal. Generally speaking, the masculinity of metrosexual is considered to be an evolved masculinity in modern society, more civilized, and more civilized, but in this anti-civilization movie, all male characters, no matter which class they are from, are finally They all degenerate into "primitive barbaric" male images. The two characters who have been wearing sportswear in the early stage of suits and leather shoes are the most typical manifestations of the degradation of male image. Although I don’t know whether sportswear is what I guessed, the sports suits remind people of an Eastern European article I have read before. People in socialist countries have a preference for such sportswear (plus simmens' big beard). If the director deliberately arranges this way, then while the masculinity and humanity are degraded, it also implies the role of the role from the right to the left. Change.
As the interior furnishings of the building collapsed, the humanity of the residents in the building also degraded, and this degradation is not hierarchical. Whether they live in the upper-class or the lower-class residents, their lives have collapsed to varying degrees. The lower-class people sell their wives in exchange for food, and the upper-class people kill the horses that symbolize their status as rations. All the incentives are A power outage. From the very beginning of a short-term power outage, the role of Luge began to imply that contemporary human society depends on electricity as a material. In virtual skyscrapers, materials are the basic power food. In reality, petroleum, technology and even information are becoming important resources. When people’s demand for materials reaches a certain level, it is only a matter of time before the animal nature overwhelms the human nature (or this This situation has actually happened).
The movie was watched at station A. I was too lazy to close the barrage when I watched it. After watching the film, I feel that the barrage is actually a ridiculous miniature society, especially for the vulgar and ignorant (unconscious, inferior in knowledge) Jumping up and down to attract attention, and often barrage: I can't understand junk movies after watching it for a long time. And the other kind of stupidity is that you think you have a great ability to understand, and you have to brush up your existence, and say that you can't even understand these. Are you people mentally retarded? One is not self-knowing, the other is self-knowledge, isn't it an accurate epitome of different classes in reality? In recent years, anti-capitalism has become popular in European and American movies, but most of them are actually providing an illusion to the middle and lower classes: revolution can bring a better life, and the overthrow of the upper class will have the so-called equality. In fact, if you think about it, you can understand that, as long as there is a society for people, there is a society where there is a class. After all, what human beings need most is their superiority in a certain sense over others. The difference between High-rise, as an independent film whose producers have the ability to think, and those youth blockbuster films that ignorantly render the upper class is hypocrisy and ignorance, the lower class is simple and kind-hearted, that is, it sees people more equally. It is a natural bad kind, whether it is a powerful or poor person, it is a bad kind, and in essence it is a predator.
In addition, I personally hate the role of Luge. Although the film wants to put him in the skyscraper as the only rational person, it is precisely because of the image that he is too rational and crazy, but he does not care about them at all if he abandons his wife and children. Enough to be lobectomy a hundred times. However, Lu Ge's performance in the movie is really awkward, especially the part where she went to the cleaning lady to ask for the top floor key and repeatedly called her name in the recording. He repeated I won't be ignored and his name, but in the end no one would remember. Like every rational person in reality, no one wants to listen to sharp, sober words. They only want to listen to vulgar laughter and things that can cause vulgar laughter, or sensational news, so that they feel that they are living better. Some people are better.
