Today, when I was scanning Weibo, I saw a fragment of this movie. At first I felt it was a vulgar youth horror film, but when I heard the long-lost English accent, I immediately decided to watch it.
Sure enough, at the beginning of the movie, the unconventional display of the unconventional life of British youths, as Kamei said, is full of "violence, sex, and drugs." In the great corruption country, Felix is so gentle and gentle. Speaking sternly, the conservative boy in a corduroy suit at the party is obviously incompatible with the so-called mainstream youth. Felix once asked Gemma, why should she stay with Chris if she doesn't like the rude character like Chris? Gemma's answer was interrupted by the sudden appearance of Jelena, but I think her answer in her heart should be, if you are not with Chris and people like Chris, wouldn't you be isolated from the group? Boys and girls at that age, you dare not play, don’t go crazy with everyone, even if you don’t become the one who is ridiculed and bullied by the collective, there are too many reasons for being a beautiful girl like Gemma in an era of drunken gold fans. Can't be reconciled to mediocrity. So everyone has fallen, the collective has fallen, and what about Felix? Doesn't he want to participate in this carnival of everyone? But because he came from a traditional blue-blooded aristocratic family, he is now caught between extremely strong ethical constraints and collective carnivals. Through Felix’s brother Justin, we learned that their family is not only a long history, but also a devout French Catholic. In the British Isles where the rainbow flag is already flying high, the young Justin just heard gay-related words. , It will be sensitive to fried hair. Felix vacillates because he has to pay more for that step than others, just as the movie shows: life.
So what makes Justin so perverted? He and his brother grew up in the same family background, what made him have the experience of going to the battlefield in Afghanistan three times. As a person who witnessed the war, there is not much introduction to his experience in the movie, and I will not make any speculations, but war will change a person's life forever, especially a person who has lived in a long history of ethics since he was a child. Traditional family members with strong restraints. Justin, his aristocratic status made him consciously superior, and his extreme religious pursuits in the spiritual realm made him unable to rub a grain of sand in his eyes. In the game, Justin showed violent tendencies, and used wartime torture to torture several young people who were the same age as his brother and had no armed resistance (reflecting the distortion of civilians rather than the military), naked It is exposed that under the dual effects of his beliefs and war, he has become an emotionally perverted violent element. At the moment he left the battlefield in Afghanistan, he had returned not as a glorious soldier (knight), but as an alternative victim of the war.
This low-cost horror film starts with the depraved behaviors most representative of young people nowadays: pornographic truth or dare, drugs, bottomless and unethical parties, young people regardless of gender, purely based on the pursuit of exciting sexual behavior, pornography Video recording, threatening emails, etc. It seems that their unscrupulous behavior killed themselves and their partners, but even if they were wrong, they did not make the mistake to die, and the mistake did not harm Felix. It really harmed Felix’s culprit, yes. After the traditional value concept is distorted (war), it does not match the height of the youth values of the current society, and its spokesperson is Justin.
Again, make love, not war...
