The decade from 1986 to 1995 was Oliver Stone's most glorious years: the Vietnam War trilogy won two golden statuettes, and other films were nominated continuously. Due to the sensitivity of the selection of materials, his works are always full of controversy; and this film is even more extreme - it tells the story of a couple murdering their father and mother in a series of crimes. . Seeing people's blood gushing out, they were dumbfounded.
Regarding the theme of this film, the most direct association is the satire and reflection on some American TV programs in the 1990s with criminals as the protagonists. It is hateful that the unscrupulous mass media ignores the harm of the dissemination of negative information to the social atmosphere for the sake of ratings, and it is sad that the audiences blindly praise these programs, which reflects the impetuousness and distortion of the whole society. Compared with hypocritical police officers, sick wardens, and selfish reporters, Mickey and Mallory, who were unfortunate in their childhood and embarked on the road of revenge, seemed pure and lovely, and unwittingly became national heroes. This is the crazy product of a crazy society. .
The filming of the film took only 56 days, and the post-editing took 11 months, and finally handed over a superb answer sheet that fans are talking about. Soap operas, cartoons, and background screenings are performed in a variety of ways; the fast switching of black and white and color, and the wanton flashbacks of irrelevant shots are dizzying. According to the director's own interpretation, these seemingly random and disorderly treatments are actually well thought out, and many of them reflect the heart and perspective of the main characters. Although he does not recommend a detailed analysis of each shot, such absurd and absurd image features undoubtedly put a strong alternative brand on the film. The style of the film is very reminiscent of two people. One is Quentin's violent aesthetics. In fact, the story of the film is his original, although it was changed beyond recognition by Stone in the end; the other is David Lynch's surrealism. Coincidentally, he was the current Venice Film Festival. Chairman, so it is not surprising that this film won the Special Jury Prize.

    A manic, dangerous breath. Juliett Lewis' eyebrows are really like John Cameron Mitchell. After the Indians died, the soundtrack was actually the ninety-nine bends of the Yellow River in the world.

    The director and the screenwriter should have a fight. The two cores with completely different expression directions are just put together. Most audiences are physically uncomfortable or blood boiled by a large number of psychedelic and bloody scenes, but no matter from which angle they think about it, The film itself has nothing to do with the discussion of the fateful values ​​of love and killing, or even the aesthetics of violence. What an honest and a little melancholy reaction, this is a film that satirizes social issues.
