in the midst of things

1. Why not kill people?

Neither morally nor law-abiding, and willing to take the risk of being punished accordingly. So, can people go and kill people? Do humans prohibit killing because of self-preservation in order to avoid being killed? So, what does it count as having to kill for self-preservation? After all, what is it that can stand taller than life?

The whole film of "Victoria No. 1" is to explain the murder of the protagonist Deng Li'e - why she kills. I believe that behind every murderer there is a complicated and lengthy story. It is inappropriate to judge the good and evil of Deng Li'e's life by simply taking the isolated analysis of the murder case of Deng Li'e. So the film adds slices of her life at different times during the three-hour murder to make a footnote to the murder. Interspersed with warm life segments undoubtedly weakened the horror atmosphere of the murder scene, but it gave enough social, material, family, gender and other factors to enrich the character, and it can even be said that it affects the living conditions of the little people at the bottom of the social building. We pay more attention to the crushing and squeezing of people when this social mechanism operates, rather than focusing on the sins of the heroine who perpetrates it. She just filled that role, just like no matter where the underground magma spews out, a volcano will be formed on the ground. Multiple factors such as the logical relationship and cultural structure of the event have collided with this ending, and she just filled the vacancy.

Moreover, the older one grows, the more one realizes that there is no pure good and evil in an ideal state, just as it would seem rash and stupid to label anyone as good or bad. Simply put, if you have good intentions, you may not be able to do good things. Things that turn out to be good may not always have a clean and upright original intention. In our country, it is more common to use the banner of doing good deeds, and the propaganda is huge for fear that some people will not know, and the people who are rescued will suffer humiliation in dignity and have to go against their hearts. The double grievance of gratitude and gratitude. The purpose is good, the result is good, and the process is actually doing evil. Under the influence of Qian Quan's rampant implicit rules, people-oriented is just a shield under the double thinking.

Deng Li'e just wanted to buy the Victoria 1 house. It was a major event of significance in relation to her life-related happiness-related achievements. Buying that house is equated with letting your parents and relatives live a happy life, and equating yourself with making a new face and being a new person. How much did she sacrifice for this goal? She confronted the crazy city through the glass after each killing, fragmented flashback slices—a notion that has reinforced her since childhood. It can also be said that it is the wish of several generations of their family (grandpa, parents, her). In order to achieve this wish, she kept increasing her stake and made additional investments until she couldn't help but have no way to escape. What you most desperately want to achieve, want to protect, will often become your Achilles heel. First she was forced to give up her upbringing (swearing with friends as a child and cursing the syndicate that invaded their home), then she was forced to give up her studies (Girls' Generation to support her family), gave up all her leisure time, tied herself to a job, and then put her father's As a sacrifice, he finally sacrificed his life by killing twelve people to fully contribute to himself.

Is she not working hard enough? Of course not, a person works several jobs to make money, saves hard to buy a house, and uses his position to earn extra money. Is she not hardworking enough? Even the rest and entertainment time and money are saved, and the porridge overnight must be eaten cold. Savings that can be frugal are not keeping up with the rate of house price rises. She is stubborn and unyielding (when she was a child, she ran outside at night because of her father's slap and didn't go home until her father apologized softly), and her mother's death (the mother loved her the most, the father said, it was you Spoil her.), she fell into deep self-blame for not letting her mother live in that house during her lifetime. She felt really useless.

When she had this opportunity, she desperately wanted to grab it. Even beyond their means to pay. (She borrowed money from her boss, who said she couldn't afford it). But after twists and turns, first her father's illness pushed the house she was about to get to the back of a long time. She has made sacrifices for this all her life. She is desperate for her father, and she also has the mentality of asking her to make a contribution. (Sometimes, rationality is really terrible: the terminally ill father is obviously hopeless to recover, no matter how much money he invests, it will not help, it is better to let him die and get insurance compensation. It can be regarded as a lifeless father who has made a goal of "our family" Sacrifice and contribution.) When she excitedly received the compensation from her father to pay the house price, the housing market was bullish, but the seller raised the price, pushing her into despair again.

Frustrated, she sat half-dead at home. Then go to "passionate murder" without much preparation. The method of her murder is extremely cruel, in addition to turning Victoria 1 into a haunted house, it is to vent her hatred. To vent the resentment she had built up in her heart for so long. The way she used murder to lower house prices looked absurd and crazy in the past, but it was actually given to her by the professors of this society (they didn't move when they were young, and real estate developers colluded with the underworld to put water snakes in the house and beat people to drive away the residents). Repay others in your own way. She finally did a hard job to this society. But in the process of killing, just like her own situation, the deaths of several people were purely accidental and absurd, and they killed themselves. This kind of involuntarily made her helpless even when she was resisting social violence. After the catastrophe, she has a lot of luck, and continues to accept the humiliation brought about by her work with a smile (Miss, I fuck you! Don't call me again!) At the same time, she is a winner and the seller bargain. This was the only time in her life that she had the joy of victory. She stood on top of life, but it was too short to enjoy it and was replaced by despair. The house she deliberately got couldn't even fit a bed. Then the financial crisis breaks out, and she will face the danger of losing her job (she works in an investment agency). She looked helplessly at the crazy city with tall buildings outside the window, and this time she was raped by her society again. And once defeated, he couldn't get over again.

The film says: A crazy city must become crazier than it is to survive.

But one's own power is just a wave in the sea, no matter how hard you try, you will be annihilated by the times until it disappears.

2. The uselessness of men

Three men related to Deng Li'e. After her father beat her violently in childhood, it was like she admitted that it was her father who was useless and couldn't sell the big house. In the future, you should study hard and earn more money. Because of his incompetence, he vented his anger on his daughter, but used his incompetence to force her to stand out. But even the opportunity to study, her father failed to provide her. (He worked hard all his life, occupational diseases took more lives, and the lower classes of society were helpless) She had to work hard to become stronger by herself. Her lover, a married man, could not give her a title, and when her father was seriously ill, he could not even lend her a penny. To meet is to have sex with her. No room fee. She has love and fantasies about him, and he only needs her physically. her adult brother. No opinion, everything depends on her. After the mother died of illness, it was obvious that the eldest daughter became the head of the family, and the younger brother was like her grown-up son. Although the film did not explain it, it seemed that the economy was not yet independent, and everything depended on the elder sister for support.

In her life, the three important male roles of father, husband and son are all failures and useless. She was forced to be a good daughter, a good wife, and a good mother by herself. Do it well, be in place, and swallow your voice (father is sick and yells at her to let me die, my lover yells at her for no room, my brother is pitiful, playing with his father's relics and relying on her like a puppy) .

She killed the couple who were happy on the bed, stabbed a lot of knives from the back, and castrated the man after killing her. She was venting her dissatisfaction with the man, and in Freud's words, she took the man up. Then, with a look of disdain, it can be regarded as a woman's awakening and independence, and then she broke up with her scumbag boyfriend. Very decently said: Let's break up, bastard! (There is a scene of Fatty Chen being dismembered in the DVD, I didn't watch it.)

3. The evil in the city

She murdered on impulse. But the people who were murdered in Victoria 1 had their own sins. The first victim was malfeasance, going to work and sleeping. The old man is about to wake up. It is estimated that Deng will be out of action. Including the later two policemen, when an emergency actually occurred, they actually killed their own people, which was considered dereliction of duty. Before the Filipino maid was killed, he called to gossip about the boss. Pregnant woman and girlfriend talk about infidelity of each other's men, how to look after each other. The pregnant husband just came home after a tryst with his lover. Drug dealers, two prostitutes and drug addicts, and two prostitutes. No one lives so cleanly. It's just a random cut, and the city looks so dirty.
