Anatomy of the characters and behavior motives in Yuanziwen's movies is no different from notating the chainsaw. It's boring, but I still want to do it.
In the process of watching movies, I often feel a sense of depression, a kind of excitement that makes me shudder and spasm, make me want to sing, want to scream, want to roar, want to put my bones in soy sauce, throw it into the fire and burn it. impulse. I know that they are all unnamed grievances kinked in the id, and human language is too scarce, and it is impossible to deal with them.
Mahler Symphony No. 1: From Kubrick to Yuanziwen
Yuan Ziwen's way of expressing these things is not words, but music. To some extent, Yuan Ziwen was greatly influenced by Kubrick. It was when he watched "A Clockwork Orange" in the movie theater that he thought of entering the Japanese film industry. From Bei Jiu in "A Clockwork Orange", the blue Danube in "A Space Odyssey" to Ma Yi in "Tropical Fish". Although the things that music uses to express are different, the roots of Bacchus that directly strike people's hearts and give insight into the horror of the essence of existence are consistent. In this movie, Director Yuan borrowed the leading motive in the third movement ("The Funeral of the Hunter"). The third movement described a dark fairy tale. The hunter died and the animals in the forest came out to give When he was going to the funeral, the rabbit and the fox wiped their false tears with their paws, so it sounded weird hidden in the solemnity. Funeral tunes sounded again and again, and were interrupted again and again. Hunters who have committed evil all their lives are not allowed to die solemnly. So what about our involvement in the evil society?
In times of panic, perplexity, and reflection, he has actually stepped on the road to evil, and he never has the chance to look back. At this time, the music in "Hunter's Funeral Procession" appears again and again, with Taunting and sarcasm tentatively stepped into the inner entanglement of the society. Yuan Ziwen seems to want to use this method to weaken the audience’s absent status and the resulting cheap sympathy, which is irrelevant to her, but tries to take us directly into the movie, as if roughly pointing her hand at a person in the car. She was sitting lonely, and questioned and questioned us viewers in front of the screen. It seems that we are the witnesses of all this, or the contributing factor of the tragedy of the society. When the society is engulfed by evil and headed towards death, will our sympathy or anger become hypocritical animals carrying the coffin?
Everything is like a recurrence in "A Space Odyssey", in which Kubrick uses the 11355 of the blue Danube to implicitly take us into a blue smooth sphere. The Ma Yi in "Tropical Fish" is the same. The end is good. The show of music shows the greatest restraint. This unresolved treatment creates a paradoxical sense of horror. The individual faces a dilemma of survival. I have to rely on this blue planet that was born 4.6 billion years ago and will die 4.6 billion years later. A person who fell off a cliff desperately grasped astronomy, the last straw of romanticism. However, romance was nothing but a hypocritical and fragile illusion. When confronted with the conflicting crisis of the family, the heavy evil force disappeared like a broken dream.
Ice Skating Waltz: Beautiful Illusion and Terrible Reality
At the end of the movie, as Shamoto committed suicide, Photon suddenly laughed with relief, while the background music played the joyful and cheerful "Waltz of Skating". The signs of unresolved tension caused by Ma Yi are completely integrated into the tune of Concord here. The audience suddenly feels a moment of relief from the long-term depression, as if all the past problems have been solved here, and then Photon Can live freely from the shadow of stepmother and father.
However, this is still inevitable. We just projected our infatuated yearning for beauty onto the movie. In reality, the father who represents power and the mother who represents filth both died. However, this formal death cannot eliminate the power and filthy nature in reality. It is as if you have written to death an annoying reality in reality. Guy, but that doesn't mean that ta really doesn't exist.
Yuan Ziwen uses Dionysian music as a paradoxical concealment. He cleverly separates a fragile silk curtain between the audience and the cruel reality, creating an illusion through the wonderful prism of waltz. So as to dilute the bleak reality. However, he deliberately made this veil fragile and unreliable. It would collapse on its own shortly after watching the movie, so the evil of human nature, the pain of survival, and other unsightly things appeared again later. Before our eyes, music has shown its original role of revealing scarcity. So the law of normality was once again cruelly torn apart, and people were once again thrown into the void of nothing, and once again returned to the state of being lost and helpless when they were just born. As a director, Yuan Ziwen is only responsible for showing and performing tragedies, and rarely involves the coordination plan after the shock of the tragedy. How to ease the pain? Aesthetic? Depraved? that power? Erotic? Still crazy? Pick one yourself.
Life is. . . pain. . .
Life is pain, and those who clearly realize this are destined to not be able to live like "people".
In the process of dealing with the body, Shaben suddenly realized that his past life seemed to be composed entirely of escape and weakness. In front of him, there were pieces of flesh and blood, bones, and a couple morbidly talked about love and had sex. Life has never been so lacking in reality. So he suddenly realized that people, such a cowardly creature, cannot survive in indulgence. There must be a tyrant who rules the world and pains them with the harshest laws and terrible punishments, so that they can survive. The sense of reality. If a person desires reality and does not want to be enslaved, then he can only be his own tyrant and use torture and law to exercise violence against himself. This is what Murata said, "Take care of yourself."
Previously, Shaben lived in the shadow of "Devil Murata", but when he personally killed the devil, he became a "Devil Shaben" again, and the shadow created by himself was even more destructive than the outside. In the end, Murata failed to get out of the shadow that was created by the "devil father", and Shamoto failed to get out of the evil caused by Murata's sudden intrusion. They all thought that they would not be invaded by them after they control power and control the evil, but after all, people It is a fragile creature, and a tyrant is often the poorest person. Even after the death of Sheben, his daughter happily repeated his mistakes. She naively believed that the death of "Devil Sheben" and her stepmother would bring her permanent relief and release, but it was just insight. I missed the candle light in the big house of evil, and mistakenly thought it was the sun.
We live in this order, and feel the pain brought about by life every day. It has been proved impossible to escape outside of this order. Then there is only one way left for us: becoming A masochist. We heard Taeko saying thank you while being beaten, and we also saw the pathological joy of the male protagonist in the confession room in "Exposure of Love". While marveling at the radical erotic scenes under Yuandao’s works, we also thought about receiving The realistic nature of abuse. Masochism is not only sexual, but masochism in life can be seen everywhere. Through intellectual transformation of painful feelings, we gain pleasure from depression and evil. Since "King's Landing Oneself" incurs destruction, some people choose a more gentle path, that is, "deceive themselves."
Taeko has long been tired of the tedious marriage life, but still has to think back to the romantic years when the two first met. This is not only a good word to deceive Shamoto, but also an attempt to deceive herself: the marriage is still good and life is not so bad. , At least we have a romantic past. We do not intend to tell these lies. I think this is more of a self-protection mechanism of the brain's subconscious mind. It relies on lies to beautify their lives, and only through these lies can people find their own shelter in an absurd scene. Place. Once wisdom tells someone the truth, someone has to bear the heavy sin and pay it in vain for the rest of his life.
When people were doing evil, the white Madonna looked at it quietly with an eternal smile, and the shabby wooden planks read "You will be judged when you die." Throughout the ages, people have sought medicine from the fields of religion and philosophy to alleviate the suffering of survival, hoping to awaken people's awe of justice with the immortality of the soul and the existence of God in the afterlife. However, since an unnamed pain wants to crush you, living seems to be the most effective resistance. Under the White Madonna, we heard a howl erupting from the abyss of unrest, it seemed to be cursing, and It seems to be singing, no matter what, it confirms our existence, and it makes it possible to face pain directly.
