Retribution is unhappy, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation - "Why not die"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Why Not Die".
The title of the film is Папа, сдохни / Why Don't You Just Die! / Papa, sdokhni (2018), alias When will you die! (Hong Kong) / Father-in-law die (Taiwan).
A small room, five people with different thoughts, form a black humor movie with constant reversal. Just looking at these elements, do you think of Kunta's famous debut "Reservoir Dogs"?
The debut feature film "Why Not Die" written and directed by the new Russian director Kirill Sokolov adopts a similar routine. In a simple residential house, a human battle is being staged.
A young man, Mawit, was carrying a hammer, while Duang Duang Duang knocked on the door of his prospective father-in-law, Andrei, and said, "The devil won't touch me."
Just the opening scene captured the audience instantly. When the uncle-in-law met his future husband, he didn't hold Da Mao's favorite vodka, or chicken, duck or fish, but a hammer. Between the flickering light and shadow, the audience just wants to know what happened.
"Why Don't You Die" has a simple character relationship, and does not play carefully with the character setting, relying entirely on the plot to win.
Andrei and Tasha are husband and wife, Olia is their daughter, Mavit is Oliya's boyfriend, and Yevkinci is Andrei's police partner. It is such a simple five people, dedicated to a unique human struggle.
Since Mavit stepped into Andre's house, the whole movie has entered a crazy high-frequency reversal. The audience will never be able to guess the character's next move, and what happens next.
Recommend this masterpiece to viewers who like suspense, thriller, dark humor. Don't read those spoiler-style "movie reviews" before watching the movie. Once a suspenseful movie is spoiled, the viewing experience will be greatly reduced.
And if you watch this movie with an unknown mindset, five simple characters can give you a jaw-dropping black comedy.
"Why Don't You Die" is very personal. A large number of slow motions are matched with unstinting blood plasma, which freezes the bloody effect of the film, as well as the black humor effect.
The fierce conflict between the characters is the combination of fast and slow motion in the film. While giving the audience a chance to breathe, it is constantly stimulating the audience's nerves. After a long time of repeated stimulation, the audience will feel very addicted. On the surface, it looks like a B-level film full of blood, but it is actually an excellent black humor movie with a well-polished script.
The foothold of "Why Not Die" is still on the discussion of human nature. Greed becomes the main thread that drives the development of the entire film. After watching it, the audience will find that many of the characters' motives are based on greed and desire.
In greed, various social problems also appear. "Why Don't Die" teases the classes involved one by one. These people look pitiful, but they are actually even more hateful.
Because of greed, they make mistakes again and again, and after making small mistakes, they expect to cover up with bigger mistakes. The hole that was finally poked became bigger and bigger, until it couldn't end.
Vitaliy Khaev, who plays the father-in-law in the film, can be regarded as a professional father-in-law. He played his father-in-law in "The Development of a Fighting Nation" and "Space Rescue". The difference is that it was a light comedy at that time, and here is a black comedy.
Who are the five devils in a house favoring?
Retribution is not good, the way of heaven is good for reincarnation.
