Even more absurd than movies, is the magical way to find subtitles

I won’t write film reviews about movies. After all, today, it is estimated that the entire network is beginning to write film reviews. With so many people who learn from the rich and five cars, I won’t join in the fun.

Let’s talk about things other than movies. Last night, the resources that hungry fans were looking forward to were finally late, but the problem came. The meat was not cooked, so there was a magical "gun subtitles with raw meat resources". The way of watching movies is unprecedented. In the rumbling resource circle, the way of cooking meat has also been updated and upgraded. A certain subtitle group has set the threshold for obtaining subtitles very high. Only the senior fans of the official account can get the subtitle resources if they answer 90 points or more correctly, and they are limited. In less than 10 minutes, this reminded me of the dilemma when I registered for Bilibili. I searched for answers to each question on the Internet. This way of watching movies and cultural wonders, except for sneaking a USB flash drive to the border of North Korea. Can't think of a second country.

Director Jia Zhangke once said that now that the technology is so advanced, will the audience not be able to see it if you ban the movie? The fall of a fat bird does not affect the channels and channels for Chinese movie fans to obtain resources, nor does it affect the huge movie-watching groups and their enthusiasm. In recent years, Korean movies are like opening up, creating one after another hits, while Chinese audiences are like grabbing Australian milk powder and Japanese toilet seats. Although a film is a cultural product, it is also the best output tool for ideology and values, which determines the strong political attributes of the film. The most successful one in this regard is undoubtedly Hollywood, the Oscar Best Film "Green Skin" "Book" is a good example. The film is trying to whitewash the deep-rooted social problems in the United States. However, the reality is often that racial discrimination is not only not eliminated but rather raging, so political correctness has become a gorgeous fig leaf.

On the other hand, in South Korea, the core theme of parasites is exactly the same as last year's hot "Burning". They are all talking about the chronic illness of the solidification of the class. How can a Samsung empire controlled by chaebols have the soil for the birth of those emerging star companies in China? Go to South Korea. Create an Alibaba? Create a DJI? Dreaming! Not to mention Japanese society. Many employees are like Ryuhei Matsuda in "The Book of Ships". They have a job for a lifetime. They are not like the post-90s generations of the Chinese Dynasty, and they will change jobs if they don't work well. What do we watch in the movie? Don’t you hold the microphone and ask passers-by about your happiness? Such embarrassing questions, unattainable problems and unsolvable contradictions in life, the movie must at least be able to create a decent dream, a colorful The bubble of "I am not a medicine god" may not let you buy cheap imported medicine, but it can cause social reflection, and the probe can fly to the moon. The back of the movie, but it can't fly to the inner world of people, and "Big Buddha Plus" can at least let people observe it up close. This may be the magical charm of the movie.

In today’s big movie country backed by a 1.4 billion market, some people use a suite in Shanghai to exchange for a ticket for "The Thief Family", and some people take the train to watch "Parasite" first. There are technical reasons and the audience waiting to be fed. An insurmountable imbalance between supply and demand has created an invisible chain of contempt between the hard-to-find "2001 Space Odyssey" at the Beijing Film Festival and the way of watching movies with a mobile phone and eating out. Between the viewing experience of the big screen and the dial with a four-digit code, it can be said that the summer bugs cannot be said. Behind a movie ticket, there is an inexplicable system, and there is a gap between the asymmetry of information and the spiritual needs of the audience. Contradictions, big data are also difficult to resolve.

"Parasite" is a bit absurd, a bit joking, a bit surreal, but more memorable than the movie, is this kind of magical way of watching movies, comparable to a spy battle, just like the Morse code from the basement. , Today, we have to use Morse code to watch movies.

    It seems that he has missed Bong Junhao. During the watching process, I repeatedly raised my forehead and asked in prayer, "Why don't you really shoot like this?" I didn't expect it to be like this. It is a pity that the text that should have been open is filled with straightforward and single simile games (just as loyal to one way of decoding like Morse code), and it is a pity that the interpretation path is too narrow, and the feeling level is the first time The sense of surprise when going deep into the basement (this is the parasitic deep into the texture like a bone gangrene!) was then wiped out by the perpetual motion-like decoding game throughout the film, and there were few opportunities for the image to breathe. My personal preference is chaos, ambiguity, and ambiguity over clarity, and the former is where "Burning" touches me.

    "Burning" is not a framework of reality criticism at all, and has nothing to do with class or anything. The film explores "whether existence is meaningful" and is completely philosophical, but this is the story of class and class. Good looks are not critical, but they are all too straightforward. The metaphors of smell, stones, and cockroaches become similes, and the symbols are almost shouting. "Burning" can be watched many times, and this one can be watched carefully. The fairness and proficiency of the technology is greater than the content and the so-called meaning.

Parasite quotes

  • Kim Ki-jung: [about Moon-gwang] She may look like a sheep, but inside, she's a fox. Sometimes she acts like she owns the house.

    Kim Ki-woo: Right. Of all the people in that house, she's lived there the longest. She was housekeeper to the architect Namgoong, but then she went on to work for this family. When the architect moved out, he introduced this woman to Park's family, telling them, "This is a great housekeeper, you should hire her".

    Chung-sook: So she survived a change of ownership.

    Kim Ki-woo: She won't give up such a good job easily.

    Kim Ki-jung: To extract a woman like that, we need to prepare well.

    Kim Ki-woo: Right, we need a plan.

    Park Da-hye: [cut to a scene with Ki-woo and Da-hye] I want to eat peaches. I like peaches best.

    Kim Ki-woo: Why not ask for some?

    Park Da-hye: No peaches at our house. It's a forbidden fruit.

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims; referring to Moon-gwang] So according to what Da-hye told me, she's got a pretty serious allergy to peaches. You know that fuzz on the peach skin? If she's anywhere near it, she gets a full body rash, has trouble breathing, asthma, a total meltdown!

    [Moon-gwang falls sick after Ki-woo puts peach fuzz on her]

    Ki-taek: Anyway. I wasn't trying to eavesdrop, but her words came through clearly! So I couldn't help but...

    Kim Ki-woo: Cut, cut! Dad, your emotions are up to here. Bring them down to about there.

    Ki-taek: So I couldn't help but overhear...

    Kim Ki-woo: Keep it focused!

    Ki-taek: [to Mrs. Park] What I'm trying to say is... it's just that, your housekeeper's voice is quite loud, you know?

    Park Yeon-kyo: I understand, it's all right. Just tell me, okay?

    Ki-taek: She said she got diagnosed with active tuberculosis and she was practically shouting over the phone, so upset she could barely control herself!

    Park Yeon-kyo: Tuberculosis? Come on...

    Ki-taek: It's true, she phoned someone saying she had active TB.

    Kim Ki-wooPark Yeon-kyo: Do people still get TB?

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] Dad, back in the day, people used to buy Christmas Seals, right? Feels like a bygone era.

    Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] But I saw it on the internet. Korea has the #1 rate of TB of all the OECD countries.

    Kim Ki-woo: [cut back to the Kims] But she's still working, as if nothing's wrong - with a kid like Da-song in the house.

    Ki-taek: [cut back to Ki-taek and Mrs. Park] So you've got a young kid like Da-song in the house, and a TB patient is doing dishes, cooking, spraying spittle...

    Park Yeon-kyo: Stop it, please!

    [cut to the Kims putting peach fuzz on Moon-gwang, causing her to fall sick again, and Ki-taek using chili sauce to fake Moon-gwang's blood]

    Kim Ki-woo: Dad, today I made a plan - a fundamental plan. I'm going to earn money, a lot of it. University, a career, marriage, those are all fine, but first I'll earn money. When I have money, I'll buy the house. On the day we move in, Mom and I will be in the yard. Because the sunshine is so nice there. All you'll need to do is walk up the stairs. Take care until then. So long.
