The slight difference is that Hailibu was defeated by stubborn and inquisitive folks, saved people, sacrificed himself, and turned into a ruthless stone; but after watching the movie, I, As always, I was deceived by this world, and what was filled with righteous indignation was my abdominal cavity, and then, the air was finally mixed into the air of illusion of whole grains. But thinking about it, no matter what the result is, it is sad.
In the materialistic world, don't talk about correcting the morals, everyone is responsible, and in order to turn the tide, help the mansion to fall, and decide to throw his head and shed blood. Children will become extremely angry when they see the tricks the adults play. The protagonist in "Uncle Mowing", an eleven-year-old girl, Devin, had a gun that went wrong. Although she shot and wounded a confused young man who was both righteous and evil, her father would never have thought of his daughter in his dreams. Will point a gun at his head. It never occurred to his daughter that the wicked image of Baba Yaga who eats children is precisely the upper class he is proud of.
Adults who are subdued by the oppression and injustice of this world are not easy to provoke. Although there are people who confess their lives and forgive everything, like the heroic father of Uncle Trent, the lawn mower. When he was young, he went to South Korea to fight for the great motherland, but he ate canned bacteria supplied by unscrupulous merchants, damaged his lungs, and became a useless person. Trent, the son who won the diving championship, was transformed into a "little blind streamer" who made a living by cutting grass. And the hero daddy is old, he can only dream with the American flag, hoping for the last glory and close his eyes, like those heroes who died on the battlefield, a banner and patriotic blood wrapped the corpse and concealed their grief. That's it.
But when it comes to Trent, it’s not so easy to be fooled. His disguised indifference and silent resistance seem to be cowardly, but those helpless poverty and the eagerness to escape the reality of his homeland will surely lead him into an unknown new life and break the suffocation. The status quo. His strong personality, his own way, neither humble nor overbearing, this is somewhat inspiring. Of course, knowing the little girl German and becoming a secret good friend with German is the key to his rebirth.
Sadly, people can always see the essence of dirty things, but in most cases there is nothing they can do. Therefore, the unique movie style of "Uncle Mowing" is quite deep and wonderful. It takes realism and formalism into consideration, incorporates elements such as fairy tales, suspense, ethics, and draws on various techniques that can enrich the senses of the whole play. It is new and impressive. The color of the opening reminds me of the small town of Edward Scissorhands, row upon row of bungalows, lawns, and tar roads like dancing streamers. To the end, hope that the trees are covered with red ribbons, the river flows over the bridge, and the forest covers the road behind the car. , All detached from reality, it seems that the "tragedy" does not exist.
It can be said that the artistic conception of fairy tales permeates the form and spirit of the whole play, but it does not simply weaken the reality, on the contrary, it highlights the positive energy. As if listening to the ten thousand questions asked by young children, why is there a gap between rich and poor? Why are there lies? Why is it unfair? Why is there hatred? Why is there no freedom? Because of the existence of baba yaga who are hidden in the world, life is so abominable.
In the cognitive process of a little girl, German, she is a symbol of purity and the unknown. She got the lie from the adult world that "the poor are all rubbish, as long as they work hard they can be rich, and if they don't work hard, they will be poor". And in reality: the poor boy wants to polish the shoes for the little princess of the rich family; if he loses something, it must be the poor who is suspected; the children of the mowing worker will seduce the rich girl; the rich man will pour water on the poor with the worst cup Drink, and the poor will use the best cups for visiting guests. The poor are kind, and the rich are black-hearted. Is it the truth? . . . . . Prejudice abducts reality, and reality builds a residence for prejudice.
And the feeling of sweating for the director is like a shadow. The question of whether to molest a girl is probably printed in every shot. Let’s not talk about the bad boy Brett’s attempt to do evil. When Devin cheated his parents to live in Trent’s garage, he was really frightened. I don't doubt the sincere friendship between Trent and German, but I am absolutely worried about the disaster that may be planted off the screen at any time. This also paved the way for Devin to run home crazy after seeing Trent hitting the black dog and then perform a "framing" climax. I always thought that German told his parents that Trent had touched her wounds. It was an honest expression of the children's thinking. It completely showed the coldness of a German father and the trust and warmth that Trent gave to German. Instead, the established cognition of adults complicates things and makes everything dark and dirty. What they think and do is often a mirror that reflects the soul.
After all, the key to the whole play is here. The line between the rich and the poor, drawn up early in the plot, interprets life with this line as the axis. It turns out that the fairy tale that German's father told her was a nonsense to protect the "rich" from being entangled by the "poor". Fortunately, German turned the nonsense into a magical spell, and she wrote her own baba yaga story. , And found the way to justice and saved Trent. I really appreciate the views of British director John Dugan. His ridicule of the ethical people and their classes is delicate and sharp, and vividly doubts people's established cognition. The details of life are indifferent, selfish, hypocritical, flattering and cunning. John Dugan explained his views frankly, which is also quite good. There is only one way to solve injustice and eradicate evil and evil, and to make up a fairy tale. At least deceive the children, because they are the future.
I remember that Wang Xiaobo wrote an essay about "all kinds of superiority", casually talking about the "Jews" who ascended directly to heaven after death and the "foreign devils" in the consciousness of the great power of the celestial dynasty. His old man did not go around the corner, but dug out one of the symptoms of "inferiority complex". In addition to looking for his own reasons, he vividly uncovered the danger of this terrifying external force of "superiority". He said that the Germanic people did a lot of detrimental things by relying on the superiority of this nation. In fact, in my opinion, the superiority is completely manifested in the amount of material possession. For people who are imprisoned by the world, this is the fundamental, and all contradictions arise because of this. How to prevent the so-called rich superiority from harming the so-called poor? How to eliminate the spiritual gap between the rich and the poor? I want to ask for the answer, but I know that many movies reveal secrets when they perform life. It's all about whether we want to understand and whether we want to practice it.
PS: Back then, Sam Rockwell and Misha Button were a little bad uncle and the other was an invincible little fresh.
