This dish has been bought for a long time, but I have always had a deep respect for Greenaway. Facing his movie, it seems to be an evil god. Nausea is a must, and sacredness is also inevitable. 'S wife and her lover> It makes me strained and allergic to pork within a month. A few weeks ago, look, I saw my superficial eyelids wanting to end my life by myself. Nevertheless, I was still interested in Greenaway, risking a burst of eyeballs, and then watched this again. I am very fortunate to watch. It's not tired, and it's very chatty.

is vaguely a work of Greenaway's return to the rural culture of England. The film tells the story of three women in an unknown small village. The story of the husband drowning, it is not unexpected in the plot, there is no suspense, it is just generated from the common mythical stories in three fairy tales, children's songs and calculations (all told by three people in the movie). FinishAfter and , Greenaway, regardless of the safety of the audience, spread the tentacles of the movie content wider.It’s poultry science, is architecture, and is numerology. The movie is full of various numbers and codes. At the beginning, the little girl counts the stars. From one to a hundred, the movie is dead. The number of lives is also one hundred. Every person and every life are marked with numbers, cockroaches, children, and even cows are marked with numbers. Looking at the puzzle, they are full of joy, and the hope of joy is about to die. The number is one hundred. In addition to this number in the movie, there is something more amazing. The three heroines of the mother and daughter are all called the same name Nancy, you have to number one, two and three Nancy. What's

more interesting is, There is also an extremely deep logical meaning. Three women with the same name can be seen as three different periods experienced by a woman (that is to say, these three women are just the same person), and the coroner and Smet have extremely It may be the same person's youth and old age (the youth was not hanged, but just circumcised), and Smet imagined that he was seduced by his mother and could get rid of his father's psychology, and later the coroner always hoped to be the oldest The psychological behavior of Nancy’s mother is unified.. It’s too messy. It's only when everyone comes back to see what I wrote after watching the movie.

In , the three husbands have different causes of death, but the methods of death are the same. The three people were drowned because of sexual betrayal, sexual indifference, and incompetence. This plot is set, and the movie does not only take men into sex. The ethical standards are as high as: no betrayal, enthusiasm, and a high standard of ability. Also because the use of drowning as a cunning murder indirectly metaphors the sinister, vicious, and sensible "terrible" of this woman. On the other hand, men, the coroner defended their crimes. In order to get the sex of three women, they were rejected one by one. In the end, they were still drowned by the conspiracy of three women. Women acted as a capricious and despised in this movie. They have no moral values, are greedy, shameless, willful, and play tricks on men. Greenaway puts these crazy and weird women in this movie, not to make the audience resent women, but In order to further exhibit the absurd shameless behavior of human nature, greed by nature, selfishness, control for sex, madness for sex, and death for sex...Finally, in the movie, the only smart person cuts JJ by himself Smet, the little boy who cut off sexual desire, also completed the final destruction by hanging on the tree. This is really a wonderful metaphor of out-and-out pessimism and disappointment. No wonder, someone used this sentence when commenting on Greenaway: I The unknown vices in life are puns that are learned and badly used....The

same style as Greenaway is that he gave full play to his painting skills in this film. Greenaway once said: First of all, I am a painter, a painter who works hard in the film industry. I make movies because no one sees my paintings. When I make a movie, they will force to accept my pictures... Reverted to the style of the paintings, from the lonely white desert hut to the wide black sea, and then the rural pastoral customs, like paintings, filled in front of the movie screen, making the movie from beginning to end, full of unbelievable absurdity. The classics, with an unbelievable comedy color. This kind of ironic ridicule is a kind of humor, and it also shows a kind of sarcasm of Greenaway's romantic sentiment in the English countryside. In other words, Greenaway is obviously here. In this film, romanticism is pushed to the peak of surrealism, arbitrarily scolded.. Deep thoughts and actions, obsessively staring at the movie as a painting under the screen, enough still time for the audience to look directly Everything on the screen, this, may be the style law of Greenaway movies.

At the end of the movie, the coroner sitting on the boat looked blank and calm, watching the three women slowly swim off the boat, and the water from the bottom of the boat gradually flooded the feet. In the distance, the body of his son was still hanging upright. On the tree, the brilliant fireworks seemed to mourn the end of his life, and the golden number 100 on the side of the boat string, maybe, this movie, there is a deeper metaphor, that is, men, if you There is a wife, and you are not good at some aspect, then, please learn to swim...

Drowning by Numbers quotes

  • Smut: The object of this game is to dare to fall with a noose around your neck from a place sufficiently high enough off the ground, such that the fall will hang you. The object of the game is to punish those who have caused great unhappiness by their selfish actions. This is the best game of all, because the winner is also the loser, and the judge's decision is always final.
