The film "Bar" turned a small space into a big stage, turned a big person into a small person, and performed an authentic good show, showing the warmth and coldness of the world.
The whole film tells about the eleven people who were trapped in the bar by the virus, their respective choices at the moment of life and death, combined with the various farces they composed, forming more than 100 minutes of fear and joy.
Let's start with the dramatic props in the play. There are two props throughout the film, one is a material prop - gun, and the other is an ideological prop - bible. The two of them represent an extreme, one is the beginning of violence, the other is a guide to move forward, and even the plots that appear in the Bible often cater to it very well, turning its content into reality. When the beggar tells the future again and again, the audience no longer ignores this little person, and the status in the audience's heart is becoming more and more important. Every time we study the words of beggars, Christianity also planted seeds in the hearts of the audience. As the beggars continue to make prophecies, the Bible has been deeply ingrained in the audience's subconscious. As for the "gun", every time the owner changes, there will be bloodshed and death. Appeared in the hands of a fascist police officer, a fat returning police officer died with the virus. Appeared in the hands of the bearded, beggars slaughtered each other. Appeared in the hands of beggars, beggars were shot in each shoulder. In the hands of a woman, a sacrificial suicide.
Why is it called an underground ditch, because the five survivors continue to descend to survive. The more they go down, the more killings and the darker they become, so that they can't escape the haze when they walk out of the darkness. Characters have also undergone great changes from top to bottom, normal-reversed-distorted. When disaster strikes, perhaps the first reaction is that it doesn't matter, waiting for rescue, running around in a hurry, or timid and unwilling to face it... No matter what kind of personality you are, in the end, you will either survive or take the initiative. Or passively stained with blood, the expression becomes distorted due to fear, and the place where the crowd becomes a hell on earth. Even if you can get out of it, your heart will be buried in black. In fact, no matter what, they can only stay in purgatory to accept the accusation of conscience and the pain of the flesh. All escapes are just fake escapes. Just like the five characters with different personalities in the movie, they are not all twisted into darkness of the same nature in the ditch, and the wounds of death and injury are not dead at the end. Don't look at Ailian who finally embraced the light, in fact, his heart has long been ashes.
Since it is a mission, the sacred sacrifice in Christianity is indispensable. "Sacrifice" is only drawn into the main line in the last part of the film, and each sacrifice is more prominent than the previous one and occupies more space, a total of three times. The first sacrifice was Elena who bravely entered the foul-smelling ditch, neatly dressed and dignified, and the audience knew from her face-like appearance that she must be a person who loves cleanliness and a high level. Although he is an inactive vase-like figure, he also sacrificed himself under the expectations of the public, allowing his clean body to be immersed in sewage. The second time was the sacrifice of the woman's righteousness and Ling Ran. She sacrificed herself in order to fulfill others, and at the same time, she was atonement for the ugliness she had shown before. The third time is Nacho's sacrifice for love under the beam, and it is also the most deeply portrayed in the chapter. (The second and third times are all about sacrifice in the movie's effective way, nothing special, and even imposed a love factor for Nacho's sacrifice, so I won't go into detail about the second or third sacrifice here) To be honest, when Nacho sacrificed Light and dark contrast, and composition
It's all a highlight of the movie, but the director imposed a love factor on the finale's good show (Nacho and Ailena are not familiar with each other, what about love), and it is really unwise to instantly lower the level of missionary. And the finale of the killing
In addition to the good use of Steadicam and light and shadow composition, there is not much speciality, and it wastes a good time for good visual effects to convey beliefs to the audience.
It is a good idea to talk about radiant sacrifice in a dark environment and under the scorched human nature, and it is also the brightest point of the whole film. It's a place to be praised.
As for the basic plot elements of the human nature movie of "the world has its own true feelings, and the world's cold and warm is revealed to oneself", I will not introduce it. In the end, I would like to recommend this film to everyone, because it is truly amazing to be able to master such a large theme in a small closed space, and the dedication of the actors in the film also needs us to learn.
