"Pengdi Pond": dull and reserved

Taya 2022-01-31 08:01:54

A low-budget thriller is not even a horror movie, because there are few zombies and not enough blood. The whole thing was dull, 4 people, one radio station, and several rooms. The performance lasted for an hour and a half. In fact, the first half hour was completely meaningless. It was all dialogue, and deleting it would not affect the whole film. Pentecost is a French-speaking Canadian village where many people turned into zombies and attacked others. After the fourth person appeared, the atmosphere became a little tense, leading to the theme: the virus infects people and goes mad, the virus is replicated and spread by a certain English word, the source of infection is an English word, and they started talking a lot to try to find out what caused the disease Words and antidote. Finally found the antidote - "Kill is kiss." The male host kissed and used this sentence to save the female director. When they tried to spread it through loudspeakers to save more people, they suddenly heard a countdown in French, followed by the sound of a bomb come. The village should have been destroyed, this expression is quite subtle. In the last scene before the explosion, the female director kisses the male host, which is a bit romantic.

The easter egg is the hero and heroine sitting together to play cool.

Pontypool quotes

  • Grant Mazzy: Is not understanding what disinfects it? See, that's the question. If it disinfects it, then how - without distorting, how do you do that?

    Sydney Briar: You kill the word that's killing you.

    Grant Mazzy: Oh, you kill the word that's killing you! That's good! You repeat it. Yeah, I remember as a kid, I used to, uh, I used to repeat words over and over again till they were incomprehensible. You think that's what it is? Is that why they're repeating things? Is it some kind of immune system response?

    Sydney Briar: You have to kill all the killing.

    Grant Mazzy: But it doesn't work, because they repeat the word and then they still get sick. So how do you make it unrecognizable? How? And what word?

    Sydney Briar: Kill.

    Grant Mazzy: Kill.

    Sydney Briar: Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

    Grant Mazzy: Syd?

    Sydney Briar: Kill. Kill. Kill. Kill.

    Grant Mazzy: Are you okay? You okay?

    Sydney Briar: Kill, kill, kill.

    Grant Mazzy: Ok. Syd? Sydney, I, - I think you got an infected word. You - you're infected. But we know the word.

    [Sydney cries]

    Grant Mazzy: Don't say anything. No, no, no, stop. We know the word.

    Sydney Briar: [Crying] Kill, kill, kill.

    Grant Mazzy: Ok, kill isn't kill. Sydney, kill isn't kill. It isn't kill. Kill isn't kill. Kill isn't kill. Kill isn't kill. Kill isn't kill. Kill isn't kill. Oh, god. I don't know, I don't know. I don't know. Uh, uh, ok. Kill is blue. Kill is wonderful. Kill is loving. Kill is baby. Kill is Manet's Garden. Kill is a beautiful morning. Kill is everything you ever wanted. Kill is, kill is, uh, kill is kiss.

    [Sydney begins calming down]

    Grant Mazzy: Kill is - kill is - kill is kiss? Kill is kiss. Is that it? Kill is kiss? Kill is kiss. Kill is kiss. Kill is kiss. Kill is kiss! Kill is kiss? Kill is kiss. What is kill?

    Sydney Briar: Kiss. Kill me.

    Grant Mazzy: What?

    Sydney Briar: Kill me.

    [Kisses Grant]

    Sydney Briar: Kill is kiss. Kill is kiss. Kill is kiss. Ok. Ok, I feel better.

  • Grant Mazzy: Let's get out of here.

    Sydney Briar: Where are we going?

    Grant Mazzy: I can't play by the establishment rules any longer. My patience is worn thin. We're breaking the limits, stealing cars, leaving the world behind to figure out what they believe is black and white.

    Sydney Briar: But what about...

    Grant Mazzy: What about what about? It's not a good anti-establisment way to begin a question.

    Sydney Briar: My name.

    Grant Mazzy: My name, too.

    Sydney Briar: Johnny Deadeyes.

    Grant Mazzy: Hmm. Lisa the Killer.

    Sydney Briar: Where we going, Johnny?

    Grant Mazzy: To a new place that isn't even there yet.

    Sydney Briar: And then?

    Grant Mazzy: Then we steal the loot and knock boots in the free world, baby.

    Sydney Briar: Ok. Ok, baby.

    Grant Mazzy: Shh!
