Desperate Driving
Host: What do you think is so good about this movie? Why did you win the award?
Female 1: Well, I can't see anything! Anyway, it is the violent aesthetics chanting
girl 2: Ha, I like Commander Gao so much! So handsome!
Host: Don’t see blood, it’s violent aesthetics. If there are more violent aesthetics, why did this movie win an award?
Female: The film of Commander Gao, the Oscar Golden Globe Award, British Film and Television Academy Award, and the Golden Satellite Award, all have nominations...
Look at the opening
clip of the scene (garage),
everyone.
Host: You can start from the dialogue. It was discovered that there were so many luxury cars in my friend’s garage, but they were not suitable for jailbreaking. Commander Gao chose the lowest-key appearance, but note that the configuration is not low. What does this show?
Female 1: Don't want to be too public, pragmatic!
Host: Yes, remember! Remember that every scene has a purpose, think about what it might mean, and we will summarize it together at that time.
Looking behind the
host: Start drag racing, take two fugitives to hide from the police, in the sky and underground, all the time...
Female: Cool!
I don’t know if you have noticed that after the two robbers got in the car, no one said anything, whether they were scared or something, I don’t know, they didn’t say a word, this is different from general police and criminal movies, they usually get shot. This person is wailing! Especially black people, it's endless, troublesome! Look at him, think about why the script does not give him lines, of course, it must be the director's intention. If you look at the back, is it almost in this state? Supporting actors don't dare to talk nonsense, especially the little ones. In the car, that is the place of the high commander. He is the absolute boss, and he is the god!
Female 1: Yes, the car god! If you say that, I also think it was intentional.
Female 2: Isn't it, create an atmosphere for fear of overwhelming guests?
Host: You are right. The aura is very important. Although he is not the boss, at this time, he will create a kind of aura, and it will be very effective!
Man: Just to make him look handsome...
Host: You pay more attention to similar movies and TV shows. How do they create this taciturn man? In addition to story promotion, most of them are details and require more wisdom. Specific issues are analyzed in detail, why not, or not, there are no rules for art, but it is not without rules.
Female 2: Alright, master, let's go on!
Look down at the
insert:
Does this piece of elevator make sense?
He started to doubt him here, why?
Woman: Actually, the woman has already pressed the elevator. You see, it took a long time. The elevator killer instinctively lied: I went wrong.
Woman 2: Oh, yes, it was the woman who pressed the elevator...
Host; right, this is a plot with wisdom content. Including many explanations, how does a man meet that woman, and how does a boss meet a bad boss? Reasonable reasons and explanations are given as much as possible for all events in the film, indicating that the protagonist is a normal person, and the occurrence and development of things are reasonable. He is not killing because he is a homicide, but...
Female 1: Love Must-have
man: Forced there.
Host: Why does this man have different attitudes towards two women. His performance is indeed different from two people, as if they are two states of his life. One kind of violence, ruthlessness, no mercy, one kind, gentleman...Why some violence can be forgiven or even recognized? The audience has the answer in their hearts.
Female 1: Commander Gao is so manly, but he still looks like a middle school student in a relationship...
Host: Shy, cute... isn't it? In front of the beloved woman, Commander High didn't dare to drive fast, let alone drag racing. Remember, these are all bright spots. It is entirely an arrangement. It is an action designed or captured by the director. There are no coincidences in the highlights of the film, only ingenuity. These are all wisdom and high artistic content. These details are also the basis for winning the award.
Insert the lens
host; everyone look at this lens... The long lens has
finished killing people, put the knife in a delicate box, look at these knives, they are all exquisite crafts, when you use it up, put the lid on... What do you mean by this lens? ?
Woman: Nothing special, right?
Male: It means that this boss is perverted, and regards killing as fun, art, and violent aesthetics!
Female 2: Yes, that should be the meaning!
Moderator: That's not the case! This is the scene that has the most meaning in the film. This is a metaphor. Who is the symbol of these magnificent knives?
Woman: Is it a symbol of a killer?
…
I’ll explain later…
Host: Look at the
insert (a wonderful car
chase). Let’s look at this paragraph. The car chase scene is wonderful, isn’t it?
Female 1: Cool!
Female 2: This is the time to show this man's abilities!
Moderator: This is a good sentence! But do you remember that the hero took the heroine for a drive? Drive twice, compare, you see, which one is enjoyable? Wonderful?
Woman 1: Of course it was a car chasing scene. I was expecting him to drag the girl with the girl, but I didn’t expect...disappointed
Host: Then I would like to ask, what do the audience like to watch? Is it love or chasing a car? Love, men and women, can drag racing? There is a child sitting next to him, how cool can he play? How cool can it be?
Provoked thinking: What is the most glamorous aspect of a man? Where is the heroic behavior manifested?
Male: Only in battle can you show your heroic qualities...
Host: That's right! Let me make an analogy. There are a few women who noticed a firework tube on the ground ready to be lit, and began to praise: Hey, so handsome! So lovely! Round, kawaii!...My goodness, did you order it, click it and watch it! Are you sick? ...Don't laugh, if you can't understand the movie and can't grasp his essence, you are just like these women. Understand?
What do I mean by this example? Just talk about the heroine, does she see the male protagonist really manly? no! In fact, what our audience sees is the real man. The real handsomeness is reflected in the car chasing... And does the woman see this? Did this woman see that the hero gave everything for him?
Female: No!
So what the audience sees is the handsomeness of the real high commander! It is only this side that can move the audience. Do you understand now, why violence also produces beauty, because I have seen the beauty of human nature that triggers violence, not just violence itself. Just as the heroine sees violence in her eyes, she will naturally not find the beauty in it. She will definitely reject and fear the high commander... This is the subjective perception of beauty, based on different perspectives. It is the same to see whether a person is a hero, worthy of love, and a comprehensive judgment.
Female: Wow, philosophical!
So I said that this movie is a typical art film. The director hopes that the audience will stimulate philosophical thinking, including the language of the lens, which is like a knife, remember? The beauty is there, put the lid on... But that is only his side, and what a real man appreciates on the battlefield is to see blood, you know? Who is the knife referring to? This is the high commander, understand?
Female 1: Oh, that's how it is!
Female 2: Wow, this analogy is too apt...
Male; I didn’t expect that this knife is the male protagonist, and it really has a violent aesthetic...
Host: Let’s talk about the use of props. Look at this mask. From this film What does it do? In fact, the director has always wanted to convey a thought. You see a person with many faces, a story with many faces, and the display of the character's fate. Finally, did the high commander find love? The female still didn’t get it. Maybe the audience wanted the heroes and beautiful women to be together, but they didn’t!
Woman: Hey, disappointed! But why not satisfy the audience?
As I just said, fireworks are the most beautiful when they explode into the sky. How do you appreciate a real hero? Just like those knives, put in a box to admire?
To see the blood, to fight! Heroes do not exist for women! It's not an ornament hidden in a box to show off.
Female 1: Violent aesthetics!
Host: This is the best interpretation of violent aesthetics! Illustrate heroism from an artistic perspective!
Male: By the way, look at Bernie, what did you say before killing: I thought it was a good thing, I engraved all the names, what does this sentence mean? I also read it online, and they also think this sentence is famous, but I don’t think what they said makes much sense...
Host: First of all, ask yourself, what is good and what is bad? Before you see, there is a plot like this: The high commander and the child watch TV, discuss, good people, bad people, liars... must they be bad people? This is the director's hope that the audience will start philosophical thinking.
As audiences, we always capture what we like to appreciate and meet our psychological expectations, but if the story fails to achieve the result we want, we should think about why this is the case. I found that many people in the industry and movie fans often manipulate movies subjectively. The story should be edited like this, and how the characters should be dropped. This is actually an amateur behavior!
The stories of other people’s movies are arranged, there are themes in them, and the director is even more intentional... Therefore, all the content presented to the audience in the film requires the audience to judge by themselves and touch the doorways. This is called watching a movie, not I'm going to find faults and raise the bar... Think about it, who listens to you at your level and the crew?
Woman: Then tell me about the philosophy...
Let's interpret it from another perspective: In the eyes of the villain, what is success and what is a good thing? Let’s say this Bernie, for him, making money is successful. Actually, who cares? Does the audience care if you make money? By extension, those celebrities and so-called nobles all think that they are successful, but from the public's point of view, are you a marvelous horse? Do you think you are a god by engraving your name?
The public will always remember their idols and heroes in their hearts. Do you understand the meaning of this sentence? Some people don't be too self-righteous... The so-called violent aesthetics, advocating heroism, justice, revenge and love... These are all choices based on human nature. Why do the audience like Commander Gao, don't you understand? Why don't you like Bernie? In fact, does the heroine like Commander High, and it is normal not to like it? She only sees the violence of Commander High in her eyes, but will her likes and dislikes affect the audience's liking for Commander High? The audience just wants a beautiful woman to accompany the hero! Just because he is an idol and a hero, nothing more!
The insert (at the end of the film, Commander
High who got a knife in the back ) and finally, Commander High was hit in the back. Why didn't he get a shot? I said, "Knife" refers to Commander High, and then the two are combined into one, right? So Commander High will definitely not die at this time!
Female 1: Well, it makes sense! But when he was lying in the car with his eyes open and the director used a long lens, the audience would think, is he dead?
Female 2: Yes, I thought he was dead and didn’t blink for a long time! Everyone thinks that he is dead...but in fact not. The director shook one and the audience was fooled...
Don't think this is just a trick, let me tell you, this is a typical lens language, which is very connotative! In fact, the director wanted to say that he was just in a fighting state...
Female:? ? ? How to understand this? Why is there still lens language?
Female 2: No way? Is there a mystery?
Before, remember? Did the high commander play the game with kids before?
Woman: Yes, there is such a scene, who blinks first in the game...
What does this plot show? At that time, the child knew very well that although the actor did not speak, he had already started the game mode with the child. In other words: I have started fighting with you, and I am getting stronger...
Note; although it is a game, there are subtexts too! Pave the way for the next scene. You see, at the end, Commander High was shot. Why did he open his eyes? The director wanted to express this: Don't think Commander High will die like this. As long as this person opens his eyes, it means he is fighting.
Did you feel it? Art is not art?
Female 1: Wow, that’s amazing, when you say this, I suddenly realized it! It's really a hidden knife, it's so artistic! There are foreshadowing metaphors everywhere, with lens language and subtext. Now I find that this movie is really not easy, no wonder it has won so many awards!
Female 2: As expected, it's all wisdom! After I understood it, I realized that this movie is very literary!
So don't think that the director just made a small joke with the audience with a long lens, and that level is not even fun at the international level!
Creating characters with innovation and creativity is the most artistic and effective!
If we write a script, we might think that since the audience loves to watch sex scenes, it's not necessary to let them fall in love...what about the theme? Thoughts? So don't think that you satisfy the audience's psychology, because they love to watch sex scenes and have family fun, so the two got married. This is called a script called a movie... Actually it is not!
I have always emphasized that what the film wants to convey is the most important thing!
So I think this film truly achieves the best combination of violence and aesthetics, as well as commerce and art.
Because the film fully explained the audience’s understanding of violence and beauty from a psychological perspective. This is a height that other so-called violent aesthetic films cannot reach!
The most wonderful thing about the film is: let the audience learn to find beauty from violence and appreciate it!
Everyone always talks about violent aesthetics, and some don’t understand what this is like. Look, this time the director told you through Commander Gao what is violent aesthetics. In other words, the ultimate explanation of violent aesthetics is nothing more than this, right?
This film is two lines, one talks about the iron man, the other talks about tenderness, and the iron man is tender, like two strands of iron wire entwined together, bursting out strength and beauty.
What are the thoughts implied by the movie? In one sentence, think about the box of knives: no matter how exquisite and beautiful, heroes are not for appreciation. Heroes are always born for battle, as long as I keep my eyes open...
