The film director Ander Thomas Jensen is a Danish, one of the people of Dougma 95, and the only two contemporary Danish directors I know, the other is Lars von Trier. Compared with the dark pain of the latter, Anders's movie is like the hot sun during the day, no need to close your eyes and contemplate quietly. Its movie can make people scream and cry, in "Adam's Apple" After that, "Green Butcher" was another classic black comedy film by Anders that I watched.

The movie tells a short story of how two men opened a butcher shop. The older one is called Svend, a man with nervous breakdown and arrogance. The young man named Bjarne was withdrawn and taciturn. Such two people would definitely not be able to do anything together. As it turned out, the butcher shop opened a day's flies. But there are no wonders in the world. An accident changed everything. The electrician who came to repair was accidentally frozen to death in the cold storage room by Sven. In order not to cause trouble, the two bosses wrecked the dead body and then sold it. Sell ​​it, it's time to tear it. This wonderful pile of human flesh became a hit at the banquet of the two former employers that night, so that the butcher's shop lined up the next day and made a lot of money. But problems followed one after another. When business was established, the supply of goods had to keep up. So, in order to be two successful men, a crazy show of killing and selling meat started. . .


"Green Butcher" is not a movie about humanity distortions and cannibalism. It is more like a joke, a bad joke. It has a severe sense of humor and strong character feelings, especially Mide, who plays a gentleman. Smickelson, Mickelson is one of the most famous male actors in Denmark. He is not handsome, but he has the bad taste of middle-aged men. He is the villain in "007 Casino Royale". of. In "The Green Butcher", his role as Sven makes people laugh as soon as he comes out, his head is shiny in the front hemisphere, and a lion head in the back hemisphere (like Chairman Mao or Christopher Walken), and sweat is always dripping on his face. He speaks calmly and softly, always with two expressions, killing people and crying, sober and self-respecting, acting so exquisitely as heinous, coupled with the natural pause and silence of the whole movie due to the attachment of Dougma's bones. The style of language makes the movie full of scenes that make people laugh, such as the scene where Sven is lonely and calmly practicing bowling in the store, facing the mirror, slipping and falling repeatedly, pretending that no one gets up again, really It makes people laugh crazy. There is also the scene where he and Bujani’s younger brother are facing each other, which can be called the most exciting joke of the whole movie. The younger brother holds the toy giraffe and says “yes” stupidly, while Sven keeps his eyes firmly and says “no”. After seven or eight boring repetitions, Sven dripped sweat and calmly said: "If you point the giraffe's head to other places, then we can continue talking peacefully." The younger brother paused for a few seconds when he heard it. After the clock, he slowly straightened the giraffe's head in a gentle direction. . .

This movie is so funny. There are no boring moments from beginning to end. You don’t have to worry about the misery of the victims, because they die cold and painless. You don't have to worry that the broken down corpses will scare you, because those look like toys, just like the tattered models you see in fashion. Not to worry about the fate of the protagonists will be very miserable, because they have always been loved by others, and occasionally they have been targeted at them but they have not suffered. The flesh of this woman is the only way for them to succeed). No comment, many people died in the movie, but these two neuroses still lead a happy life, so you can watch this movie happily.

"Green Butcher" is different from the cold and absurdity of "Black Shop Rhapsody". In terms of the pictures and atmosphere, the director tried to create a comfortable and pleasant scene for the audience. Bright light, cheerful music, and many beautiful sunsets and nights on the beach are warm and warm. The scene is full of beautiful yearning, and the audience will have wonderful sympathy and favor for the two murderers from the bottom of their hearts. As for those who were frozen to death, they have long been left behind.

After all, this is just an interesting movie. It does not have the misery of the dead, let alone the distortion of sin. It only cares about whether the two men who have been fighting for success to the point of murder will live happily, yes. , The director did let us see the warmest and most beautiful scene of the movie at the end: the butcher shop finally got on the right track, no longer relying on selling human meat, the seaside in the afterglow of the setting sun, and the brother who had scolded him live in the water. While playing the ball, Bujani is cuddling sweetly with his lover who was almost sold into chicken. After watching the last scene, I have to say, in this rainy and weak season, what a wonderful movie this is. .
