A frigid movie. The tepid narrative and calm and rational lens brewed almost desperate depression, mania, and coldness. This Danish film is as cold as the Nordic winter, and in the trembling, it relentlessly draws on human nature and social morality. A knife to the bone.
The viewing process of this film is definitely not a pleasant one. The cold and almost desperate atmosphere brewing in the film makes the whole film full of tension, and the resentment that is stale to almost violent fills the chest, which makes people feel the reason and emotion in the will. The chaos and the explosive tension of the plot puts the atmosphere of the whole movie in a very subtle and precise position, and this subtle tension comes from the struggle between people's hearts. The so-called three people become a tiger, but this movie is not just a story of three people becoming a tiger. The children's setting between angels and demons in the film makes the story of the three people becoming a tiger more profound and people. Shuddering, the protection and importance of children in Western countries is also evident in this film. Children's words are often innocent and unintentional, but if such unintentional "children's words" are contaminated with social moral forbidden zone and are misunderstood, it is innocent. It can be turned into a highly toxic poison. Unfortunately, the protagonist in the film is an unfortunately poisoned hapless person. Children can naturally not be responsible for their own words. The short life experience leaves them with nothing in the social status, but for an adult In other words, a place in society can be almost all of them. When these are destroyed, it means that the individual's sociality is wiped out. For a reasonable adult, this is a kind of murder in disguise. In the film, the protagonist’s reaction seems to be a little slow, and self-maintenance only bursts out at the end. However, it can be found carefully that in the foreshadowing passages, the protagonist interacts with the child and interacts with his girlfriend. I see the man. The protagonist has a faint passive personality. This kind of person is often dull and kind.
Children are considered as a special vulnerable group in society. They are physically and psychologically immature, and their ability to protect themselves is weak. Therefore, once there is a suspected violation of children, the social group will always stand on the side of the child without reservation. However, when this kind of sociality is unreservedly misunderstood and misused, the child turns from an angel to a devil. The child’s unsound personality and discernment make the social routine and reasonable solution here. There is no way out, so their words often bring great destructiveness. In the film, Lucas’s life is destroyed by one or two similar nonsense children, but the most destructive power of the destruction process is not directly brought by the child. It is caused by the exclusion and alienation of social groups. After all, people are still social animals. When a person is isolated and alienated, the harm to people caused by this estrangement is huge, not to mention this exclusion. The intentional alienation is unjust. The tension of the film is based on the opposition between rejection and grievance. It perfectly shows this vicious interpersonal opposition and the collapse of the characters' hearts. Rumors are fierce than tigers, and when the rumors in the social ethics forbidden zone come from innocent children, the destructive power is even more violent. In the film, in the face of scandals and various rumors that follow, the opposition between social groups gradually becomes Three-dimensional and fierce, from the beginning of the letter leaving room for doubt, to the end of the rejection of the entire social group, the film brews even greater malice in a seemingly calm atmosphere. When the audience takes the male protagonist as the first person into the story, this This kind of malice and hatred that was slowly brewing can almost evolve into anti-social violence, and a stagnant anger that has been unable to explode eventually turned into a bone-chilling chill.
In the first half hour of the film, I feel a bit incomprehensible and incomprehensible, and the cut is too slow, but as soon as this node is passed, the film begins to expand its explosive tension. The director handles the shot calmly and rationally, just like the protagonist in the film begins to My own rational restraint is the same, but in the second half, when the protagonist’s intellect starts to shake, the footage of the film is still as calm as before. This kind of restlessness in the lens and the calm and rational out of the lens make the audience feel angry from the inside and the outside. , And even the emergence of anti-social violence, it is precisely because of the strong contrast between the cold sitting by the camera and the explosive tension in the story, the strong resonance of the host’s public but helplessness in the audience, which brings a great sense of enthusiasm And precise characterization. The director of the film, Thomas Winterberg, easily played with the emotions of the audience in the applause. This is exactly the skill of the Danish director. This kind of heavy social theme movies can often give people more thinking, whether it is last year's "Love" or more European social theme films in the past. What impressed me most in the film was the scene in the church. The male protagonist satirically came to the church, a place begging for salvation, under the aura of God’s universal love. This may be the only one that can make him a "sinner" and a community." The "good people" peacefully coexist in the same room. When the children began to sing Christmas carols with angelic voices, the huge contrast between evil and innocence put the protagonist’s reason on the verge of collapse, but after all, the reason did not collapse. This kind of person The social attributes can never be erased, otherwise he will bypass Carla’s father and directly attack the child, rationally telling Lucas that the child is innocent, Lucas can only find Carla’s father to vent his anger, I think this is After all, it was a wrong judgment, because the last scene clearly stated that the biggest culprit of the whole farce was not Cara, nor Cara’s father who made the wrong judgment, but the whole society where Lucas lived. Prejudice, the coming-of-age ceremony at the end of the film is very worthy of fun. The taking over of the shotgun and the ambiguous smile around make people shiver. Adulthood means strength and responsibility, but also a price. Social groups can accept you in this way and give you a certain position. You can also be brutally removed from your name as quickly as Lucas did. It doesn’t really matter who fired the meaningful shot at the end of the movie. Its greatest value is to wake up those dreaming. The shooter behind it is just a vague outline. The director’s intention is very clear. The silhouette is designed for everyone.
The title "Hunting" has a certain meaning. Obviously Lucas is the elk hunted in the forest of social groups. He is unguarded and even exposed in the dark forest with gratitude. Countless hunters hiding in the dark can Injured him, and the last breathtaking shot can be regarded as both a malicious slander and a benevolent warning, but all the hints I want to express are the same: let’s go, this forest will never welcome you anymore NS. This kind of unintentional rejection of individuals by social groups makes people see part of the dark side of society, and has a deep bottom. For the time being, I will not mention the evil of prostitution, and talk about group rejection. In the vast history, this kind of majority people How can the prejudice and persecution of the minority be reduced? From heretics to homosexuals, from Bruno to Turing, this vicious ghost has always been alive. To this day, Iran still punishes homosexuals with vicious stoning. Don’t think that they are far away from us. Even today, it is still alive. We are crawling around, unable to ignore the evil role that Kara played as the fuse in the incident, but the most hateful is not the children, but the group of hypocritical, prejudiced, preconceived, self-proclaimed arrogant adults , You must know that ignorance is not the biggest obstacle to civilization, arrogance is. The so-called deliberateness of the film is actually not excessive. This kind of comical chain of events is always performed in the world we live in. If you pay attention to it. Thank you for the last shot that shattered all my fantasies and beautiful visions. The long-suffering hostility in his heart was finally shocked by the sudden gunfire and frozen into ice, and a deep chill filled his body.
