The name of The Party is so wonderful

A British movie, full of self-deprecating firepower.

The cultural differences did not see the comedy, but the irony was full.

On the surface, the core conflict involved in the story is the derailment of the male owner. This is very similar to last year's "Perfect Stranger", a few mobile phones tore all the masks of friends, and finally discussed marriage and family. However, the conflict in this film originated from derailment, but the ambitions do not stop there. Behind the conflict is to expose the true faces of the so-called upper-class people.

The lover of the financial elite who took drugs and held a gun to kill his wife is a counselor. The emotions in the film are only irritable and counseling; as a lesbian feminist, his mind is full of the idea that "men are all rapists"; The high-level intellectual’s lesbian partner confessed her successful IVF pregnancy because she felt that this was just part of the animal side of things. Lend the house to dog men and women for a tryst. She said a good friendship. Her answer was "It’s better than letting them try out in your house", hahaha, "Plastic Sisterhood"; Yale, known as a rationalist The professor’s point of view is that “from a statistical point of view, class and economic status determine health and lifespan”, and the degree of influence is definitely more than diet and exercise. As a result, he began to believe in God and curse after he learned that his cancer was at an advanced stage; the daughter of the Minister of Health was promoted The host even interprets the politician's inferiority to the extreme. For example, while saying that he can't hurt the cheating husband, he has two big mouths, "Why can't I control my hands".

The Party is really a pun. It not only refers to the cocktail party held to celebrate the hostess’s promotion to the Minister of Health, the party also means a political party, which allows us to see the political party and the financiers and intellectuals surrounding the party. , What exactly is behind the masks of the activists.

    A dramatic British satirical political drama. The setting is quite stage-like, with black and white tones. Microscopically show the absurd problems in personal life under the fall of liberal politics. Great performance, but not great.

    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
