At the beginning of the film, there are several rotating shots shot from above. The unstable picture from the beginning can hint at the discordant tone of the whole film. Later, there were some quick shots of the mountain from a high angle, which gave people a sense of tension, and a few close-up shots of the ropeway, coupled with thrilling music, allowed the audience to predict what would happen. In the prologue, when the five protagonists were sitting in the car, the complicated relationship between Chloe, Luak and Gillam paved the way for the outbreak of contradictions, which led to the later development of the film. The cause of the contradictions of the problem has become active and followable.
For people who love adventure outdoor activities, the scenes in "Vertigo" are what these people desire to conquer and transcend. The protagonists in the film, except Luak, belong to this type. They are timid and timid. Luak, who has a fear of heights, was forced by his face and his girlfriend’s ex-boyfriend’s provocation. Luak would certainly not give up on this adventure. . The first serious accident in the film was when the bridge broke when Karen was crossing the ropeway. Karen almost lost her life. Although it is an extremely thrilling scene, when Karen Ka is in an empty sky in the middle of the ropeway, it will give the audience a sense of loneliness and helplessness, and make the audience feel that people are so small between heaven and earth, and When Karen's escape rope fell off the cliff, it was supposed to be an evil rope, but it drew an extremely beautiful arc in the air, as if to despise "you group of stupid and self-reliant humans." When the young people were able to return to the point of departure, the only way ropeway broke, the young people formally entered the trap of the god of death who seemed to have been waiting for them for a long time. From this time on, various problems and difficulties began to appear. The director used a parallel montage technique to clamp Fred's leg with a predator and Luak almost fell off the cliff to show it together. This can not help but remind people of a word: " Embarrassed on all sides". Fred, the leader of the team, disappeared, and the five young people who seemed to be harmonious began to complain and blame each other, and the ugliness of human nature began to be revealed. From the beginning, the foreshadowing of the relationship between Ruak and Gillam’s rivals in love caused the innocent Chloe to fall into a black hole full of thorns, and then it was the shot of the straightforward and brave woman Karen going down to the black hole to find Chloe. , I don’t know how much irony this is for the two male roles of Luak and Gilam. The director is exposing the dark side of human nature. And when Karen, who lost her boyfriend, also started crying, the two boys didn’t help, not even a comforting hug. Instead, Chloe led them to sing that they sang in the car when they came. The song of youth is a sign of encouragement. Then Karen led everyone with a rope. As usual, they should be boys all the way, but it was Karen who was a girl who walked in the end, and Karen was killed in the end. So far in the film, it seems that these boys have not played any role, and they are not qualified to be called men. Luak and Gillam have always had conflicts over the issue that they are Chloe's boyfriend, but the director keeps telling the audience that no one is qualified to be called a man, how ironic. When Gilam went down to the cellar to take the bag up, Luak clashed with him again, knocked him down and locked the cellar door. Later hunter Anton returned to Chloe to fight with Luak, who was a boyfriend, but fled in fear, and the ugly side of human nature was ruthlessly exposed. On the contrary, Chloe’s ex-boyfriend, Gilam, is still a bit more manly. Luak, who abandoned Chloe and Gillam and escaped alone, turned off the lights on the way to escape. Maybe he was unable to move forward or maybe he was because his conscience found that he had returned to the hunter’s house and saved Chloe. After his death, the hunter Anton was led away. There was another scene like this during his escape. Luwak bent over and supported the tree to catch his breath. The hunter's arrow hit Luak's head. In fact, the hunter could hit Luak's body with one arrow. It seemed The hunter or director is playing with Luak. Later, when Chloe and Gillam rescued Luak who was about to fall off the cliff, Gilam's insidious side showed up again. He let go of Luak's hand and directly caused Luak's death. Later, when Gillam pretended to be sad and comforted Chloe, he was killed by the hunter Anton. Wow, he died so fast. I believe this is the audience’s first reaction. At this moment, the audience will even have a moment. I feel that the role of the hunter Anton is like a god, because his arrow seems to be a god's judgment on ugly humanity. After all the people around her died, Chloe’s spirit was on the verge of collapse. She desperately rushed towards Anton who killed the last mental power around her. At this moment, her blood had already rushed to the top of her head. Must erupt, she must transform all her anger and fear into strength to erupt towards Anton, but she is a weak woman after all, Anton is a wild and terrifying hunter after all. Just when Chloe was about to be killed by a hunter, Chloe called out his name in despair: Anton. Anton stopped suddenly, as if he was thinking of something, as if he was hesitating. Anton, Anton----These seem to be the two most sacred words in this film. Then Chloe took the opportunity to cut Anton’s throat, but it was not dead. Chloe took the knife and walked over. In the end, he didn’t kill Anton. Maybe it was because Nian hesitated for a while and didn’t kill him in time. She said, maybe because she still thinks Anton is human. In the end Chloe finally got on the ropeway when he came back, and Anton, who was not dead, stood up again and picked up his knife... The subtitles at the end tell us that the other four people except Luak are still missing. How long is this shaky ropeway, and is not enough time for Anton to come and destroy the ropeway? Or perhaps Chloe returned home safely through the ropeway but has since renamed and changed his model and refused to mention the accident again? Or did Chloe also come and kill her after Anton passed the ropeway? We don’t know, the director didn’t tell us the exact answer, but it’s not important anymore. Even if Chloe was lucky enough to go back and live an incognito life, the blow to her would be indescribable. Of course, the possibility of her going back alive is almost zero. After all, the credits say that Chloe is still missing, although this possibility is not ruled out. In fact, for the ending subtitles of the film, it can be assumed that Chloe has become insane and has become a hunter just like Anton...
In such a barren mountain, the terrain is steep and the population is barren, and the earth is unsound every day. When encountering any danger, people can only rely on themselves, but the protagonists in the film are suspicious and jealous of each other. They belonged to friends, but some killed each other later. This is ironic. And we can say that the end of the protagonist in the film is, in the old Chinese saying, "you cannot live by doing evil by yourself". From the beginning of the warning sign that the ropeway at the foot of the mountain was closed, the protagonists ran away on the safe road. As Luak said, there must be a reason for the ropeway to be closed, but they still want to explore desperately, like a fruit tree growing on the side of the road, the fruit on it is very rich, but they did not pick it. ,why is that? This is because the fruit on the roadside is not sweet. If it is sweet, will it be your turn if someone has picked it away? The protagonists promised this fluke and ruined their precious young lives. The negative protagonist An Dong in the film is a person who was kidnapped at the age of four and then disappeared. Anton is a hateful but ridiculous existence. When he was kidnapped at the age of four, he was still a child who knew nothing at the time. Perhaps the kidnappers abandoned him in this barren mountain when he was worthless. How can a four-year-old child who has not yet formed an understanding of things survive in this barren mountain? So Anton became a hunter, an out-and-out savage. After all, he has also been called Anton for four years. Perhaps there is still a trace of his memory as a social man in his subconscious. That's why he was in a trance when Chloe called him Anton, wild. The hunter suddenly fell silent. At this moment, the two words "Anton" seemed to be the most beautiful words, making the hunters fall in love with them, making the audience fall in love with them, and making Anton fall in love with them. But helpless time has passed for too long, and Anton has completely become a savage...Let's jump out of the movie and look at it from the perspective of the director. Anton is the protagonist of the film. The problem eventually returned to society. An Dong was kidnapped at the age of four. Since then, he was abandoned in the mountains and turned into savages. He killed a lot of people in the mountains. Maybe he was unconscious, but this is also a way for him to retaliate against the society. How sad.
There is a steep mountain in the Balkans. In this mountain there is a savage who was kidnapped and abandoned when he was four years old. This savage is called Anton.
