black irony

Guy 2022-03-19 09:01:03

This is a movie that I want to watch again after watching it, I always feel that I have missed some hints or irony because of lack of culture/inattentiveness. . I feel like I've fallen - this is a movie that feels good, but it's not very entertaining after watching a movie where I can't sleep because my brain is still frantically processing and linking some fragmentary clips. . So: unless I have a lot of stress-free time to splurge, my brain won't be able to digest it - so what is this era of 996, and how is it fundamentally different from the film? Some dark humorous points are always lingering in my mind: the blind man pulling the cart, and the cow on the roof. The demons who exchanged souls were the "white man with a dog" and the chasing sheriff. The head of a red cult and a campaigner who preaches reform and petty people. The people who support the cult leader one minute and throw his eggs for a song the next minute. A toad that is regarded as pete. One-eyed robber who sells bibles. A male protagonist who disdains religion and devout prayers. Baptism in the river that washes away their sins and the water from heaven that finally saves them.

And, snobbish wives and roped daughters.

    A film that goes through 2 to the end, I don't know anything about "Odyssey", but the adaptation of the Coen brothers is completely subverted to the extreme. I watched it all as a road comedy. The character settings are very crazy, and they still have a strong fable. The songs are pretty good, and the first-line Hollywood actors are so good at singing, I really admire it~

    8.2/10.0 #ThreePilgrimage# Taking America in the mid-twentieth century as the skin and "Odyssey" as the core, the Coen Brothers deduced a unique highway in a unique, country, musical, and joking way. piece. Inheriting Kerouac's free-spirited romance on the road, "Three Kings" uses a very ironic black humor to give the story a dramatic tent of ill-fated and political allegory. Homeric dramatic uproar, and Sophocles-style contemplation of fate. In addition, under the veneer of extreme religious overtones, the Coen brothers use this film to play with the concept of man's "belief". Whether it is Ku Klux Klan fanaticism or jealous pity, the word "faith" is used in In the process of repeated collapse and reconstruction, it is deconstructed and fragmented. - Whether it is an objective idealist or a materialist; a conservative or a reformer; a politician or a desperado; whether with or without the blessing of the mysterious power of radio, Unity before the clutches of fate - this is the philosophy of the Coen brothers.
