The Russian film "Why Don't You Just Die!" shows the sentiment and personality of the fighting nation, which has been defeated and fought to the end, wounded and killed until the last minute. The story takes place in a simple two-bedroom, one-living unit. The filming takes about 100 minutes. The plot mostly takes place in the living room. Foreign characters are used to lead the new story direction. It turns out that there is a game in a game, the story is simple but the style is good enough.
The director's maturity in taking shots is not like that of a fledgling new director. There are long shots, slow motions, and subjective shots of fantasy worlds, which largely make up for the emptiness of the story. The soundtrack and sound effects of the film sometimes speed up and sometimes slow down. For example, the supporting roles of stealing the scene cannot be ignored, the soundtrack and the camera complement each other, such as the slow motion of burning money and the magnificent symphony to create an epic feeling.
Wong Kar-wai's lens aesthetics and Quinton Tarantino's violent aesthetics emerge in the film. The film uses cyan as the keynote and red as a foil. The design of the kitchen lens at the beginning of the film seems to have come from Wong Kar-wai's hand. Violence can be seen everywhere, and the level of human blood spraying Just like the moment when the fireworks explode, it is an irregular play. Combining Wong Kar-wai's art and Quinton Tarantino's violence is a fantasy.
The direction of the story is a little too simple, and many flashback clips are vague, and occasionally rely on music to drive the rhythm when it is cold. A successful Cult film is inseparable from the bloody killing scenes, and it is inseparable from the fantastic ideas that are divorced from reality. The male protagonist in the picture When fighting with his girlfriend's father, his father won a staged victory directly with a TV headshot. The shooting angle chosen by the director is quite mysterious, shooting the glass blast from the back of the male protagonist, giving the audience a sense of pain in sync. The movie went in the direction of black humor. The scene of the mother's "head injury" even made the audience laugh out loud. The sudden "beep" in the movie broke the fourth wall to create laughs.
The film's intention is not deep, and the story of men using their rights to persecute women is not extended. It is only to describe the heroine's unthinking "madness". The second half of the film satirizes the police force's cover-up, corruption, and can use her reputation to suppress crimes at any time.
As a set of B-level bloody cult films, the story is weak but the plot design is good, and the photography and music work seamlessly together. It is a rare and refreshing masterpiece in recent commercial films.
