"Benny's Video" is the second part of Michael Haneke's glacier trilogy. The film focuses on the vision of the director of Pian Feng standing in the cold and proud world of icebergs and snow ridges. I can see that it is like recording a general ecological video. Self-understanding of objective, faithful restoration, without personal feelings of documentary literature.

One cold afternoon, the slaughter gun stunned the TV camp. The mourning of the beast ended the life of the pig. The huge and shaking flesh was forcibly pulled down by the man and left a pool of scarlet deep pits with white snow spots. The bloody nature of eating meat and fish, the condensed snow scattered all over the world, it is the tears of God's image, without dominant emotions, sorrow, but with the secret of the secret, without showing the traces of the neighing of the family, the creator hears Yes, human crimes are horrendous, and appetite teaches hands to be stained with blood. The director’s video faithfully included the a little embarrassed father, and the man who pulled his hands with a rope and slaughtered pigs. After the sound of the gunshots, heavy snow sprinkled white spots on the colorless camp light curtain. Michael Haneke is God. He grieves humanity, especially the middle-class father and butcher who hold important positions in the office. He didn't pull the trigger, but at least he was a bystander. Broadly speaking, he joined the killing, and he didn't. Stopping my son from filming, the son keeps rewinding, and repeats the moment when he was shot and killed in the food. It is the son who has undertaken the crime of participating in the matter.

The girl was shot, and the horror shocked the boy who met for the first time. Unlike the numbness after watching the video multiple times, the child is not the audience watching the video, but the scream that is close at hand, he is a little lost After all, the girl's twitching occurred in front of me. What surprised me most was that Benny was naked, with the girl's blood dipped in her finger, and smeared on her lower abdomen. The fragrance of a virgin, a teenager tasted the joy of friendship in extreme ways, but the residue of relative murder is nothing more than the same, I saw a common phenomenon in society, but the coldness of the forest: the content of the news report is a confirmed fact, and the world is broadcast on the selected channel Unrest and war disasters in various places, families absorb frequent news of bloody suppression every day, and vaguely heard the sound of artillery shots. When this information gradually takes root in people's flesh and blood, people will regard killing as an ordinary anecdote - it is in every day. The soil in the corners of the earth sprouted, the flowers bloomed, and the evil fruits paralyzed the conscience of mankind. The result of indistinguishable crime is trial, not just the execution of the man who slaughtered pigs. Popular art) works, combining classical paintings, old and new, showing that parents are not older generations who embrace old ideas. However, if the son killed someone, enlightened parents should call the police instead of sheltering and conniving. They believe that juvenile delinquents do not. The conviction will be too serious, but the resume with the record will ruin the future. Aiko becomes a job of cutting the body that has been left for two days into pieces. The family is jointly charged with murder and shelter; what about the son? He has no guilt and sleeps well. Xiang Tian, ​​continue to watch the murder video, living in an isolated space where the documentary is not.

The film uses the hand communication of the first part "The Seventh Continent" and the shooting method of hand trading. The previous work is purely commercial (supermarket). The lack of customers and cashiers quoted the price, and there will be no other interactions. The alienation of the video rental store in this work: the camera focused on the payment of the renter, and the daily experience of the clerk writing down the name of the rental film should be able to share the joy and sorrow of the film without telling it, and the film culture is reduced to A business experience that will not carry it forward, and has a deeper level; the love and protection of the parents' deformed, of course cannot be compared to the calmness and constancy of the video recording and not deceiving the image.
