Desire touch-"Ice Storm"
Desire, from a philosophical point of view, is the expression of the will of life. The concrete manifestation in humans is survival and reproduction. The basic manifestations can be divided into internal and external forms. The external is nothing more than the pursuit of merit, fame, and profit, and the internal can be unlimited. So we know that desire can be the revolving restaurant on the top floor of a skyscraper reflecting the coveted glass windows; it can be the personal attendant's white gloves that immediately open the Rolls-Royce door with a 60-degree fan; it can be the crowds and crowds who greet each other. Unstoppable applause, flowers that cannot be thanked. However, desire is not a conceptual idea. When it is built on fundamental existence, its purpose is no longer pure, and its tentacles can be derived infinitely. Each of us has a way to satisfy our desires, which is intense, peaceful, gradual, and desperate. And desire itself does not have any precepts, some are just our hearts.
Relatives: When the desire of desire and the battle between the hearts make us unable to find a balance, we are either completely awake or obliged to fall deeper... Just like the hero of "Ice Storm", Shelly, bribed the bandit for money to kidnap himself His wife was blackmailed by his father-in-law who had taken his money-making plan. After the father-in-law learned that his daughter was kidnapped, he was most concerned about the issue of ransom. Xie Li played a fairy jump between the kidnapper and his father-in-law. He promised to give the kidnappers 40,000, but Shikou opened his mouth to ask his father-in-law for 1 million. It was their young son who really cared about this woman's safety, but Shelly deceived him. Here, family affection is thin, and desires surface. Such an arrangement cannot but make people feel absurd.
Kidnappers: The continuation of the chilling absurdity, the development of the story is even more bizarre. An ordinary kidnapping case develops into a continuous murder case, things become complicated, and the ransom has risen from 40,000 to 80,000. The desire is swelling, and the plot behind is even heavier. One of the two kidnappers is chattering with big teeth, and the other is always holding a cigarette butt and saying nothing. From killing the police to killing the accomplices due to uneven distribution of the spoils, to destroying the corpse with a wood chipper A foot stuck upside down and a continuous jet of crimson blood—...the story is out of control. The female police officer arrived, and a crisp gunshot pierced the silence in the snow, and ended the ugliness.
Policewoman: The red of blood and the white of snow leave a distinctive mark on our retina. Corresponding to crime, she is the policewoman Meier with seven tops. She is an excellent and shrewd female police officer and also a considerate. Good wife. This is a very friendly image that combines truth and goodness, which is expressed in the film when he comforts her husband and investigates the case. After Meier arrested the criminal, she said to him "Life is not worth that small sum" and "I really don't understand." Yes, we don't understand how many lives are waiting for this small amount of salvation in real life. However, Meier also told us that the child will be born in two months. Although this baby has experienced various sins in the mother's body, the birth of this pure life still brings people longing and hope for the future. This change is the great righteousness of life toward death.
The main theme of this film is to explore the eternal theme of human nature through their different pursuits of desire among the seemingly unconfused age group. There is an unexplained question at the end of the film, that is, a piece of bright red buried in the yingying white snow, but the audience facing the screen is quietly relieved and smiles knowingly, because the magic of the snowy ground has returned to whiteness. The world has disappeared.

    Very dark and very life. The policewoman is very cute, and the stupid thief is unlucky. But I was bored watching Cohen's plays.

Fargo quotes

  • Irate Customer: We sat right here, in this room, and went over this and over this.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but that TruCoat...

    Irate Customer: I sat right here and said I didn't want any TruCoat.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but I'm saying that TruCoat. You don't get it, you get oxidation problems. It'll cost you a heck of a lot more than $500.

    Irate Customer: You're sitting there. You're talking in circles. You're talking like we didn't go over this already.

    Jerry Lundegaard: Yeah, but this TruCoat...

    Irate Customer: We had a deal here for nineteen-five. You sat there and darned if you didn't tell me you'd get me this car, these options, without the sealant for nineteen-five.

    Jerry Lundegaard: All right, I'm not saying I didn't...

    Irate Customer: You called me 20 minutes ago and said you had it ready to make delivery! You says, "Come on down and get it." And, and, and here you are and you're wasting my time and my wife's time, and I'm paying nineteen-five for this vehicle here!

    Jerry Lundegaard: All right. I'll talk to my boss.

    [gets up and turns before leaving]

    Jerry Lundegaard: See, they install that TruCoat at the factory. There's nothing we can do about that.

    [Customer ready to shout]

    Jerry Lundegaard: but I'll talk to my boss.

    Irate Customer: These guys here. These guys. It's always the same! It's always more!

  • Marge Gunderson: So, do you remember getting a phone call late Wednesday night?

    Shep Proudfoot: [after a short pause] No.

    Marge Gunderson: You do reside there at 1425 Freemont Terrace?

    Shep Proudfoot: Yes.

    Marge Gunderson: Anyone else residing there?

    Shep Proudfoot: No.

    Marge Gunderson: Well, Mr. Proudfoot, this call came in past three in the morning. It's just hard for me to believe you don't remember anyone calling. Now, I know you've had some problems; struggling with the narcotics, some other entanglements, currently on parole.

    Shep Proudfoot: So?

    Marge Gunderson: Well, associating with criminals, if you're the one they talked to, that right there would be a violation of your parole; would end you up back in Stillwater. I saw some rough stuff on your priors, but nothing like a homicide. I know you don't wanna be an accessory to something like that.

    [after another pause]

    Marge Gunderson: So... you think you might remember who those folks were who called ya?
