There are many "Invincible Dogs" series that I have watched. Why did this one win an Oscar? What's so good about it? There are really many questions to ask. For example, in the movie, the dog is knitting a sweater, and then the heroine is actually knitting a sweater, but the hero’s family obviously has a one-stop mechanical invention, why do you need a dog to knit a sweater? I just don't understand...
In fact, the film wants to say that knitting a sweater itself is a life need and a skill. It's like you invent things and grow plants... You only have to think and weave to have the fun of life . Feed everything to your mouth, is it really interesting...?
Woman: Oh, yes, in that case, you can only eat oatmeal!
So after you look at the following plot screens, they are all these comparisons.
Woman: Besides, when the dog was knitting the sweater, the thread broke. At this moment, the sheep happened to run away and the car started... The metaphorical clue was broken, right?
right! This is the lens language...
Female: I saw a lot of interesting inventions in this film. The male protagonist even needs a prosthetic leg to help start the motorcycle... It's really funny!
This is the perfection of perversion!
Have you noticed that the male protagonist wears clothes in the machine and is often turned upside down, head down...?
Woman: Yes, it's quite interesting, so what?
It shows that human beings have lost their sense of direction and lost their sense of direction in their own invention...
Woman: Wow, this kind of interpretation really feels very feel...
We must capture this information and ideological connotation from the picture .
The ultimate in invention is the so-called professional level. But scientists are even more god-level, and the mechanical dogs they create can enslave their masters.
Woman: Yes, it’s really scary that a mechanical dog will go bad, and it will go down. It understands both human nature and dog nature.
It can even find the gap between human and dog's feelings and use it. This is the invention of evil .
Female: Oh, I see, the theme of the film is about the invention of civilization and the invention of evil, right?
It's not that simple, your understanding is still superficial.
As a reminder, the conveyor belt scene is critical!
Female: Yes, I can understand that this scene is the climax of the film, right?
That's right! According to the four-dimensional one-piece pull-out analysis method , the relationship between the plot theme characters and the four climaxes , we focus on analyzing which paragraphs are the most creative and ideological.
We look at the picture, a long shot
On the conveyor belt, the mechanical dog is chasing behind, and the people, dogs, and sheep in front are running ...Whoever is slower will be crushed into dregs by the machinery...
Woman: This shot should be very metaphorical, right?
Yes! The future of mankind may be such a scenario: we always have to eliminate those machines that are considered bad and evil. Mankind has to run continuously on the track of machines and inventions . If it is slower, it will be eaten by its own “inventions”. , I'm afraid I can't eat those evil opponents...
Humanity’s pursuit of perfection and this contest with "imperfection" should be regarded as a defect of human nature!
Woman: How do you understand this?
Human beings blindly pursue this kind of perfection and spare no effort to cater to and satisfy their own desires. This is a defect in itself and a sin!
The so-called "crime and punishment", can you see your own sin?
There is another question. Why is this film called Razor Edge , but apart from the title, I didn't find the knife reappeared in this film!
The knife at the beginning of the film appeared once. Let's talk about the knife. This thing can be used to spread cheese or kill people. It is two-sided!
Woman: Oh, so in this film we have to focus on the two sides of "invention".
It reminds us that human beings are living on the blades of many inventions at this time ...
Female: Why is the ending heroine still the nasty mechanical dog taken in and not with the hero?
It shows that she still misses the machine, reluctant to give up, always have illusions about it!
Human beings are always dissatisfied with the kind of relationship established with animals, and even with people, and that kind of natural ecosystem always has reasons for them to be bored and disappointed...
Woman: Yes, I guess that if the man and woman come together, in the end the male protagonist will definitely invent a robotic girlfriend to replace each other...
Yes, this is the right understanding, it is indeed the director's intention!
Woman: I also think of the scene at the end of the film. The goat eats the cheese, and the dog in charge just reads the newspaper. I don’t bother to care about it. The male lead is very angry...
Yes, for humans, this is a flaw!
People together with people, people with pets, even animals that provide them with food sources...can pick out flaws, and instead seek to make some fillings on the newly invented machines, and even achieve absolute perfection!
Absolutely smooth taste, as smooth as eating oatmeal , there is not a bit of it in the throat ...
Female: Haha, although the cheese has an attractive aroma, it would be better if you can improve the smoothing experience. The male said that it is still very patient and caring, very nice, if I live with this gluttonous goat Together, you will be crazy!
This is us human beings, human beings who will never be satisfied with the status quo...
Female: I see, you must dig into the inner causes of your thoughts to be called depth , right?
Yes, if we watch the movie only stop at the confrontation between civilized inventions and evil inventions, then we will ignore many of the wonderful contents of the film...
I also ask you a question, why did the hero Wallace bring a puzzle to the dog Ago?
Woman: Because the puzzle has a code?
Not only that, you think any toy can stuff a note! Do you remember that I used a lot of words like perfection and defect in film reviews ...
Female: Oh, I see, it has multiple meanings! Indeed, the puzzle is a kind of toy that fills in defects and achieves perfection ...Wow, every prop is wisdom, it is natural, no wonder it will win multiple awards! I really can’t use words like cute, cute, sensational , and funny ... as I did before .
This is the Oscar-level standard, so it is not so simple to understand an Oscar, and no one can interpret the Oscar. Again:
Movies, I watch art!
Female: That is that. Similar to the many questions you mentioned in the film review, if you throw it out directly, no one will be able to catch it. If you ask it, you will be silly... It seems that I really need to practice more...
