This movie is probably incomprehensible to many people, because the reality of most people in the audience is the confrontation that the director wants to express.
Probably many people can't see the last few seconds of this movie, because most of the audience gave up this pseudo-sci-fi with no stimulation at the beginning and only 5 cents of special effects in the middle.
Many people define this movie as a sci-fi movie, but it is actually a real-world fairy tale movie.
The Celestial Dynasty cannot make such a movie, which is both social and primitive, modern and magical, realistic and fairy tale, Soviet and world, both obscure and obvious. We are animals in captivity, victims of brainwashing by advertising and marketing. That's the scary part of the business world.
Our civilized world is the business world.
The two terrible things about our civilization are entertainment and consumption. This is completely contrary to the idea promoted in Laozi's Virtue and Taoism. The more you consume, the more you hurt yourself.
Recreation and consumption, these two monsters, castrate human nature.
This movie is very similar to the style of "Amelie".
The commissary Misha made up was a story of the underworld, and Bob sold it to the United States using this as a material. This is Russia and the United States, a sociocultural conflict, like a political film.
The acquaintance of Misha and Abby, separation, reunion, separation, reunion, and like a love movie, the redemption of love and family.
After Misha failed the reality show, she dreamed of a real Red Bull sacrifice ceremony, which was like a religious movie.
After Misha came back from the countryside, she turned into a freak who could see all kinds of commercial monsters, and turned into a fantasy movie.
Relying on the ability to see monsters, Misha wants to save his wife and family, defeating the commercial world of advertisements, triggering social changes, and becoming an inspirational film.
Business, desire, competition, money, religion, sci-fi, love, redemption. It should be said that the director wants to express a lot of things, but it is not messy, because these are things we face every day.
In the end, when Misha thought that everything she did was meaningless, and desperately called Abby no one was listening, Abby appeared in front of her.
In order to protect Abby, Misha was injured and comatose by the social change (violence) he guided (the scene at that time may be death), the change was successful, which is ironic.
And the climax came from the last few seconds of silence without any lines. A few years ago, he induced a fat woman to participate in a reality show, competing for the most beautiful show after plastic surgery. After being in a coma for many years, she woke up and became Slim and beautiful, her dream of being thin and beautiful came true in a special way. Much like a fairy tale, a fairy tale of the modern world.
A story about social redemption is told around Misha.
This kind of imagination is similar to the imagination of the night watchman, the unrestrained imagination of the sun watchman.
The foreshadowing of the first few minutes only exists to use the last few minutes.
What this movie doesn't say is profound. That is: the commercial society is brainwashing with advertising, media and marketing methods, manipulating people's values, cultivating people's desires in captivity, allowing more people to entertain and consume, and thus far away from many things of human nature.
This is the terrible thing about the commercial society, and these are justifiable, legitimate and reasonable.
