The powerlessness and depression of reality gave birth to such unbridled films and resonances

Festival Walk's Hungarian film "The Subway" is a more eccentric film that could be included in the cult category. The translation of the Chinese name is good, and the "style painting" reflects that most of the film is described in the state. What "style painting" cannot reflect is probably the style and rhythm of the film. It opens with heavy metal music, and a good show is going on in the old, dark, dirty underground world of Budapest. The chick was high in the first place.

In fact, the whole film is composed of such sections of chases, fights, and carnivals that are sometimes gloomy, sometimes decadent, sometimes violent, but without exception they are all crazy and energetic. I have seen graffiti, I have seen people in Bawang cars, but have you ever seen people with families and families riding in Bawang cars? Have you ever played Midnight Run? Jump off the track after a subway leaves the platform and run wild, and you have to climb up to the platform of the next station before the next subway can crush you. Have you seen Subway Bear Girl? A beauty who always wears a brown bear plush suit, wanders mysteriously in the subway, never buys a ticket, comes and goes without a trace, and occasionally teases you. Have you ever encountered a platform killer? The mysterious black hand who created several "suicide cases by jumping off the track", and a few clues pointed to a man who looked like a medieval monk... The

whole film has no concept of time, no coherent plot, no light, and the protagonist as a subway ticket inspector has never arrived for several years. over the ground. Judging by the clues, he was once an elite, but now he is obsessed with this underground world, obsessed with his own exile. The genre of the film is "subway film", which can be used as a subset of road films. Heavy state, heavy atmosphere, heavy characterization. Decadent reveals black, cynical humor, and the desire and smell of destruction.

"This movie is really exciting." I don't know where the source of the energy is. In fact, I have been to Budapest, where the appearance and atmosphere of the city left a good impression on me, and the subway is not like this at all. Perhaps similar to "Fight Club", the powerlessness and depression of real life are completely incompatible with the essence of human nature, so that the rushing and unrestrained film can be born and resonate so much.

But sure, it can make you high.

    [kills passenger]

  • K., Kripli: The second our train pulled out, they jumped onto the tracks and started to run after us. It's not easy because the ground is covered with tubes and cables and the tracks are there, too. Your lungs fill with graphite powder and you can't breathe. The problem is the next train.

    Tibi: Wait, wait, wait... This IS the last train.

    K., Kripli: The last passenger train. We still have the midnight express behind us.

    Tibi: The midnight express? What's that?

    K., Kripli: It's the real last train. It's the last train that heads back to the depot.

    Tibi: So you're saying...

    K., Kripli: That's right. They got another train coming from behind. The real problem is that the midnight express doesn't stop at any stations.
