"Shaun the Zombie" is more like a comedy thriller. A Sean who originally lived like a zombie experienced a nonsensical adventure after all the people in the city became zombies. He wanted to save his relatives and friends, but ultimately failed. At the end of the film, zombies become human pets and slaves. There is also a heavy irony.
"End of the World" tells the story of an old naughty boy and a few old friends who accidentally broke into his hometown controlled by aliens. The war with the aliens caused the aliens to abandon the plan to "save" the people on earth. The film conveys the belief in freedom from beginning to end. Instead of being transformed into a perfect robot, it is better to be a flawed but emotional ordinary person.
Compared with these two works, what I want to talk about most is the second work, "The Hot Blood Detective", which has the least attention. It may also be because the things in "The Hot Blood Detective" are too close to our lives.
The translation of "Hot Fuzz" is far less powerful than the translation of "Hot Fuzz". This translation is only for the purpose of boarding the elegant hall. From the following on, I abbreviate this film as "Tiaozi". The whole film has a lively and powerful rhythm, and the reflections on political formation hidden in the performance of unruly and riffraff, and fully demonstrate the black humor of the British gentleman. The style of this film is completely opposite to "Zombie Shaun". "Zombie Shaun" portrays the confused life of little people under the guise of a thriller, while "Strip" raises the absurd banner of comedy action movies, but portrays a A bloody, terrifying, oppressive town. That’s why I admire director Edgar Wright’s constructive vision. This visual and auditory sensation forms a strong contrast with the final touch of the soul, which makes the audience instantly overwhelmed, thus always remembering these two unique films. .
From the very beginning, "Tiao Zi" explained to us how the Angel Police officer played by Simon Peggy is an elite character, but in this society that pays attention to the team concept, a person's performance of being too heroic will greatly arouse colleagues' attention. dissatisfied. Not only is this hero doing all the things that can and should be done, making them worthless, but more importantly, everyone must also learn from the hero. This will make them feel pulled and progress. It makes them exhausted physically and mentally, and the pressure increases sharply. So it's not just the police officer's boss who doesn't want him to show up too much, but his colleagues also want him to leave the team, so that they can feel that they are an ordinary team instead of being as busy as the police officer every day.
The focus of the film is naturally not in the first ten minutes, but after the Angel Police arrives in a "most harmonious town" in the UK. What is a "harmonious society"? Democracy and rule of law, fairness and justice, honesty and friendship, full of vitality, stability and order, and harmony between man and nature. In this seemingly peaceful town, apart from the rule of law, which one is incompatible?
In this small town, the rule of law is almost unnecessary. Children can enter and exit the bar freely. This is to prevent them from going to the streets to make trouble; the police can also drink soy sauce when they are at work. The policemen have done things that violate the rules and disciplines, and please have a casual meal. you can let the matter rest; some of the petty acts can be tolerated, as long as the town does not destroy the peaceful life of the people; a farmer can also possession of a large room equipped than the police ammunition depot ······
small All monitoring facilities and systems in the town are in charge of an organization called the "Neighborhood Monitoring Alliance". This alliance is actually equivalent to a small local autonomous government that is out of the control of the government. It can be called an independent government because it is "a high mountain and the emperor is far away." .
There is almost no crime in this small town, because all the small crimes have been wiped out by the biggest criminal group. Children spraying paint on the street; outsiders begging on the street by performance art; desecrating art to satisfy selfish desires and don’t care. A lawyer with a reputation in the town; a village committee girl who has disgusting laughter and colludes with the lawyer; a developer whose house is incompatible with the style of the town; a reporter who only looks for news breaking points for publicity and sales but with typos; wants to move out of the town. The flower shop proprietress who leaked the secret...These people do have all kinds of faults and selfish desires, but are their faults costing their lives? However, the "Neighborhood Monitoring Alliance" unanimously sentenced them to death.
So I think there are many things in this movie that are similar to the latter two in the "Psychological Sin" series-"Dark River" and "City Lights". The mountain village in "Underwater" is the small town in the movie, and the "City Light" and the network force in "City Light" are the "neighborhood surveillance system" in the movie. And this small town and the "Neighborhood Monitoring Alliance" and the social environment we live in are so XX (mosaic here).
The film has a strong metaphor for government agencies and political culture, but there is also a passionate main thread in the film, which is how to praise the British police.
Here I want to ask myself and my colleagues, what was the motivation that made you choose to be a people's policeman? If you just want a job as a civil servant, then you are not worthy of answering this question, because you did not choose to be a people's policeman, but want to ask for a living.
To fall in love with a profession, we must first have a sense of identity with this profession. Where does our sense of identity with the police come from? The people's police should be a symbol of safety, a person who can lend a helping hand when the masses encounter difficulties, and a person who can stand up when encountering a crime. The police will receive a sincere gratitude for helping the common people solve their practical difficulties, and they will be proud of fighting a group of criminals to keep one side safe. But in an environment where everything is controlled by "lynching," the police no longer serve justice. In order to deal with people without guilty of crimes against the nobles and without breaking the trust of ordinary people, the grassroots police have learned how to behave smoothly and live by themselves. In the long-term paralysis, the spirits and fearlessness that were once turned into laziness and escape. This is the case with the police officers in the small town in the movie. They are not incapable and talented. They just lost their enthusiasm for work because of the instigation of the sheriff and the intervention of the "Neighborhood Surveillance Alliance", and lost when they first became a British Royal Police. Motivation. Therefore, a policeman who is not called a note by the ruffians is not a policeman with enthusiasm and passion.
The police should be the main force in fighting crime and safeguarding a society under the rule of law, and independent groups that abuse private practices or even deprive others of their lives should be attacked by the police. POLICE-OFFICE does not exist for power organs and political systems, but for the protection of justice. When the ruling class commits crimes, the Public Procuratorate and Justice Department should act as the guardian of the rule of law, because the rule of law is always higher than politics.
At the end of the film, all the police officers in the small town were arranged to join the angel police officers to fight against the evil "cult groups". In the end, evil did not suppress the righteousness. The police, representing the force of fairness and justice, won the final victory.
The unsatisfactory part of the film lies in the penultimate segment. The liaison officer of one of the leaders of the "Neighborhood Surveillance Alliance" turned out to be a slippery fish, blowing up the entire police station. Discard the old office environment and office model.
In short, "Tiao Zi" is a black humor movie with plenty of jokes, deep metaphors, and a successful ending. Watching this kind of movie not only does not consume energy, but it can give you a shot, and it can also inject wisdom and right into your brain. A new understanding of the rule of law and politics in society.
