Someone posted on Weibo a list of films watched by Feng Junhao, the director of "Parasite". I just feel that I have watched all the movies I should watch recently. With this list, I turn to these directors who "will affect the world's film scene in the future." The screenshots are not complete, and there is also "My Gifted Girlfriend" which is currently on the air.
The first place in the film list is this "Frontier". The heroine on the left, Tina, looks strange and possesses superpowers—you can perceive the guilt of others only by smell. Tina with this ability is perfect as a border inspector. It wasn't until one day that Tina met Wall, who looked extremely similar to her, and realized that she was not a human, but a mountain monster.
As an immigrant, I understand Tina's loneliness well: the resistance to integrating into another society, the helplessness of looking back at the original group after the values are assimilated. Maybe a generation of immigrants is better. Tina has been living in human society since she was a child, and it is completely human good and evil, using the law to punish bad people and protect human children. And another mountain monster, Wall, killed the pedophile directly. In order to continue her race, steal the children of humans, and put the descendants of the mountain monsters into the human family, these are things that Tina cannot understand. Intolerable.
The heart has been assimilated, but the appearance is still different. Tina's situation is faced by almost all second-generation immigrants. I don't quite understand "returnees", the outside world is clear and simple, and the rules are clear. I am used to being free and loose in such an environment, how can I survive after I go back and how can I adapt to the various unspoken rules in the workplace? Director Ali Asiba is an Iranian immigrant. He uses the legendary mountain monsters of Northern Europe to express the problems of the marginalized people. He has a unique perspective and special expressions, which is both horror and fantasy.
The legend of "swap" has also been reflected in some other film and television works. For example, the two children who were lost in the 1980s in the British drama "Dublin Murder" were finally explained by the legend of swaps; Angelina Jolie's The original English sentence Changling of the award-winning movie "The Suspicious Cloud for Children" is derived from this legend.
The Swedish description of mountain monsters is a bit like discrimination between races:
When a person is described as elak or ful in Swedish, it can be compared with a mountain monster. When you encounter troubles, it is really "damn it". In Swedish, you will say: "Everything is a monster" (gå troll i något); if there is a "freak" in the family that is different from everyone, you may use "Sällan är kull utan troll" (Sällan är kull utan troll); "Ett troll biter inte ett annat" (Ett troll biter inte ett annat); people who worship money (especially those who marry for money) are also said to be "Många tar trollet för guldet" (Många tar trollet för guldet)-everything is very The situation and problematic things are all related to the monsters.
I've watched "Genetic Doom", and the next one is "A Midsummer Night Terror" by Ali Esther.
