In today's era of fast-moving movies, if you lose interest in comedy movies that are kitsch and can't stand up to scrutiny, and feel that American humor is too cookie-cutter, and British humor is obscure and difficult to appreciate, then maybe this Latin American noir A humorous movie can make your eyes shine: its noir and surly, conflict and drama, make this brutal film extremely lethal, shocking the senses with the most absurd sense of banter.
Just like the translation of the film, the whole film is composed of six unrelated short stories, each of which reveals human nature with great tension - this is a dark and depressing style paved from beginning to end, you will know in advance about the movie The people in the scene will inevitably go to tragedy, and this journey is absurd and humorous, so one by one, the gradually out of control situation drives one by one irrational people to fall into their inner demons, slowly stepping into the unexpected in the carnival-like comedy. A tragic ending that makes no sense. One can't help but think of the last words from Rabelais' lips: "Put the curtain down, the comedy is over." This kind of blank space is unforgettable, suddenly sobering from the previous laughing state, feeling its spicy irony. The movie did not expose all the tragedies on the screen with blood, but left a brief shock, giving people the heaviest aftershock, and making people guess the future that was not revealed behind the screen.
The film's opening scene is the perfect finishing touch, composed of wild animals staring at the screen from the animal's point of view. So it seems that all the audience, all the human beings are exposed to the gaze of wild animals, they are thoughtful, they are silent - who is the animal? Isn't human being an animal? The deep meaning contained in it can be similar to the last words of dolphins to human beings in "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy": "Goodbye, thank you for your fish." The hidden connotation is the same.
Here I focus on the fifth story, which is also one of my favorites: an alcoholic rich second-generation car hits a pregnant woman and her unborn child, runs away, and his father finds a lawyer to buy the gardener to become The scapegoat, the detective who came to investigate learned the truth but did not intend to maintain justice, so a confrontation between interests and interests and a black-and-white battle kicked off. Lawyers want to blackmail money, detectives need to be bribed, gardeners have to take an inch, and the constantly blackmailed father erupts in oppression. He was furious, just wanting to recover his money losses, even if his son was about to be arrested, he demanded that the deal be cancelled. Fu Erdai asked to turn himself in when he couldn't stand his inner torment, but was opposed by the other three - how could the upcoming money let it slip away easily. After the final compromise, the gardener put on his hood and was escorted out of the manor by the police. The crowd who had been watching things at the door was furious and the media rushed over, so the police maintained order, the crowd roared, and the camera flashed... In the chaos, the husband of the pregnant woman suddenly took The camera rushed towards the crowd with a hammer, and the camera immediately plunged into darkness, and only a few dull dull sounds of hammers hitting the head were heard.
This is a dull pain. In this story, no one plays their role correctly, so in the midst of interests, evading responsibility, and ignorance and revenge, the camera uses a third-party perspective to show the inner demons hidden in human nature. Excellent performance. The stalemate in the first half of the story made the audience immersed in a kind of bitterness and dullness. In the second half, he suddenly woke up under the hammer raised by the victim's husband, as if it was his own head that was smashed at the moment. Unforgettable and unforgettable.
Human nature is the theme of this film. It uses six different stories to neutrally illustrate six absurd black stories from the perspective of a third party. In "Animal World", Zhao Zhongxiang has a classic commentary: " Humans, such animals with limbs, feet on the ground, and walking upright, it is difficult to determine when they appeared on the earth, and it is impossible to tell how they came to the earth... Some people use their superiority to other animals. A lot of thinking ability, thinking hard, and finally deduced that man was transformed from the smartest monkey in a fairly long period of time." This film makes a good explanation for this passage, it tells us: man is also It is an animal, and man was once barbaric.
