The staggering volume of dog blood is often the output of personal philosophy

[European Film Festival-03] "Cocktail Party": It is a party, but also a partisan; it is a trivial matter, but also a personal philosophy.

Opinions of different factions are mixed into a pot of anxiety because of the "safe sleep" of the dog's blood. Politicians, feminists, spiritual teachers, world-weary tongues, financial talents, middle-aged literary and artistic...

Everyone is shrewd, and everyone is stupid. Everyone is too hard, and everyone is fake.

In the past few years, I have seen a lot of anti-drama works. In 70 minutes, the extreme conflict was presented extremely staged, and I still felt refreshing and spicy. Every second was bloody, and every line was a bit of an explosion. He couldn't hold back his laughter and patted the armrest.

It all depends on quarrels to expand the relationship between the characters, layer by layer, with amazing capacity and very connotation. It is very interesting that the echoes between the beginning and the end are connected with the foreshadowing of Marianne's discussion in the middle section. The disappearance of the key character "Marian" whipped the audience's appetite to the greatest extent, especially when the doorbell rang at the end, Janet rushed out with a gun-dog blood arrived as expected, but the taste was slightly different.

As April said in the text, this movie watching, we also experience "a kind of emotion." The actor's reliability has also made a lot of contributions. Under a lot of close-up shots, the micro-expressions and wrinkles on the actor's face are very obvious, and the neurotic mood is extreme, and there is a kind of peeping (or high-definition peeping) fun. Black and white make people focus, occasionally ghosts are very substituted

If you pick something wrong, it is originally a drama with a heavy composition. Digging deeply is not effective, and there is nothing new. Will be hit with 8 at one time, but not twice. Even if it's cool.

    Barely pass. First of all, we should pay attention to the title of the film, party, it is not only the event of the film, but also the theme of the film. Sally Potter cuts into the satirical observation of party politics from a feminist perspective this time (there are also very straightforward views on political parties in the lines. Political discussion), if you ignore this, you can't understand the film. The whole story is black and white, the texture of light and dark is meticulous, the content of the ripping force and "Murder", "August: Osage County" and the like can almost form a type of film. The hostess who has just been promoted to the Minister of Health encounters her husband breaking the news one after another. , the couples of guests who came along were also caught in the whirlpool of conflict of views and emotional betrayal, and the goblins who did not appear in the whole film were connected in series with one after another of gun-drawn scenes. The whole film of the head of state who converted to oriental spiritualism was complained by his wife and dedicated the most striking comedy elements. On the subject, Porter stops at a superficial presentation of the infinite loop of trivialities of party politics, lacking in depth, which is a pity

    Cass blinked. But the ups and downs of the plot were too intense. Interesting ending. However, I don't think it can be said that the previous bloody plot is a sham at the end, and this cannot be used to forgive the unreasonable rhetoric of the previous plot.

The Party quotes

  • Janet: It's not fake. It's just sometimes you have to pretend. In order to win.

  • April: Oh, don't worry about her. Looks like a girl, thinks like a man. Androgynous soul always had true grit.
