The style of the works of the Coen brothers was completely incomprehensible to me many years ago. At that time, I was full of vigor and yearning and the sun was shining...In the most popular words recently, it was "very stupid and naive"-unfortunately no beautiful MM was willing to take pictures with me at that time, let alone nude pictures.
"Ice Storm" made me feel very uncomfortable and at a loss at the time-is this film over? Isn't it just a story about murdering a wife to make money, and it's so unfashionable, why can you get the big prize?
After I became old, and after watching "Old Nowhere", in the few remaining memory clips, I vaguely smelled the cold and direct realism. This kind of cruelty that is close to reality is not the "irrevocable" scene that makes your scalp numb and nightmares for two weeks-I can't forget how that guy's head turned into a breathless scene. The reason for a rotten eggplant later was to watch another short film of a horrible Chechen bandit killing Russian soldiers alive. It is no exaggeration to say that I want to vomit when I think of this film. In contrast, it has become popular recently. The lotus milk is just a PS map for pediatrics.
But what the Coen brothers play is not this kind of superficial cruelty, but it radiates from the bones, making you feel that real life is so creepy. From the moment when MOSS discovered the ill-gotten gains, the entire film has developed into a classic gangster film. The killer Chigurh was performed by Javier Bardem to perfection. The wise and cold look is as ubiquitous as the shadow of the night.
People always sympathize with the weak. Every time MOSS escapes with the same wisdom as the killer, they will cheer in their hearts. I don’t know that they fall into Cohen’s trap without any sound. The Y’s are very unkind and put on a super dark humor. The movie is dressed up as a gripping bandit movie. The real protagonists-the killer boss Chigurh and Tom Lee Jones, the old detective Ed, never met in the film, but they wrestle with each other.
Just when I watched it with relish, it was over suddenly. Then, all of a sudden, the killer suffered a hapless car accident, but what about? The old eunuch jokes: Next...no more.
The weak did not get God's favor, so many strong winds and waves have escaped, but the boat capsized in the small gutter. The evil killer didn't receive the punishment he deserved. Even the widow was killed because he was accidentally hit, or he was slightly distracted. A severely injured car accident caused him to wake up immediately and disappear again expertly. Where's the hero old policeman? The hairy didn't catch it, so he had to retire, and came up with a nagging monologue before the end of the movie.
Is this the end of the story? Where did Qi Cheng Zhuan He Yu Yin curl up and finish successfully? It's black, it's really black. It's so beautiful, the details are so catching, the result is to tell you: die, there is no such thing as Skynet's recovery. You can only fight against the minions and fight against Jiang Yang thieves, only to die ugly. Don't pick it when you see the money in the future, even if it is 2 million. Lock the door and close the window, and live your fearful days trembling in the room. There are psychopathic killer snitches outside, and even the state machinery can't save you.
Compared with the justice in "Ice Storm", in "Old Nowhere", the Coen brothers have no intention of distinguishing between good and evil. Some are just human escape instincts and hunting instincts.
This is the first time I have seen such a crisp black film. "Old Nowhere" can be called 2007, even the darkest movie in my memory.
