The movie "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" and "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo", which shocked me a little, has a German version and an English version remade by David Fincher. I watched the German version a week ago, even if it was put on hold for a week, This movie still fascinates me.
Then I won't describe the whole details in detail, so I am tired and the officials are tired. Take a few scenes that touched me.
1. Mysterious numbers and "Leviticus"
actor M Jun collected four lines of numbers, but they have nothing to do with any phone numbers or the like, and M Jun can't do anything to scratch his head. At this time, the heroine, the girl with the dragon tattoo, L, couldn't help but send an email to M to remind him through hacking. Find the relevant chapters in Leviticus according to the numbers.
"Leviticus" belongs to the "Pentateuch" (the first five books of the Old Testament, "Genesis", "Exodus", "Leviticus", "Numbers" and "Deuteronomy" collectively), In addition to the domestic version, Hong Kong, China has Mr. Feng Xiang's Torah (Oxford University Press), and in mainland China, Mr. Feng Xiang has included Leviticus in the second edition of the newly revised "Notes on Political Law".
I have briefly read Mr. Feng's translation of Leviticus, which has taken great pains to record the procedures and regulations of various sacrificial ceremonies held by the ancient Hebrews, such as the layout of the scene, the types of sacrificial animals, which parts need to be cut, and who can participate. Burnt offerings, redemption offerings, etc. each have different rules. The punishment for witchcraft ceremonies such as witchcraft and ghosts is particularly severe, and can be executed by stoning, so that the sins of others can be forgiven.
Unexpectedly, the series of murder cases carefully tracked in the film, and many scene arrangements, did refer to the ritual of "Leviticus". It's just that the murderers in the movie are religious fanatics who use people as sacrifices.
In fact, David Fincher likes to make such films that connect the clues to solving crimes with classical scriptures, so it is not surprising that he wants to remake The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo.
2. The
final clue to the murderer's motive can be traced back to the genocide during World War II. There were also fanatics who responded to Nazis in northern Europe, and even after the fall of Nazi, they still had no way to reverse these fanatical hobbies. So it went underground.
On the one hand, the murderers considered themselves noble in their race and family blood, and on the other hand, they secretly hunted and killed Jewish women to find some sacred scriptures as a basis, such as "Leviticus".
When the reason for killing is attributed to the ancient sacred source or the grand historical ultimate goal or the so-called "general will", killing can become some cult ritual of the murderer.
In the preface to "Another Idealism" commemorating Shi Tiesheng, Xu Jilin criticized the former idealism that annihilated the individual into the collective and used the sacred name to infringe on individual rights. However, in the new era, there are some People bind ideals with specific material standards, and material desires themselves will continue to expand, so they fall into a constant void.
As for "an idealism of the past", although the country and customs are different, the murderers in this film actually have coincidences, and its internal logic can be simplified as "I am noble, I am holy, so I can kill those who stand on the opposite side of me. people". Such a frenzy to occupy the moral high ground is indeed terrifying.
3. Failure of Public Relief
At the beginning of its establishment, any system still has some functions of maintaining order and ensuring that victims receive relief. But once the system is eroded and the relief function fails, the vulnerable groups who have been violated cannot get relief at all. What should we do?
In the movie "Wounded City", the father of the young Tony Leung was almost wiped out by the black police force because he refused to participate in the distribution of the spoils of the snakes and rats. Only the young man Tony Leung escaped to the orphanage, lived in anonymity, and waited for an opportunity to take revenge. Later, Tony Leung almost gave him Blood for blood revenge for the murder of his father's enemies. It's just that the unfortunate killing has become a cycle, and it has also killed an innocent woman - his wife, the enemy's daughter. Unable to bear the torture of his conscience, he committed suicide.
In this movie, L burnt her father alive for extremely accidental reasons (perhaps sexual assault) when she was a child. Since then, she has been classified as a "dangerous person and severely mentally ill" by the local social organization. guardianship. But unfortunately, he encountered a more beastly guardian—it seemed that he was a well-known local dignitary who controlled all his deposits. To use money, he had to use it as a sexual tool. L had a job as a secret detective at the time, earning considerable income, but it was inconvenient to reveal his identity.
L finally extracted the evidence of the crime, and retaliate against the guardian by means of locks, iron whips, anus plugs, and beatings. Finally, I can continue to investigate the case independently.
Although L has grown up very hard, he has developed a good skill. able to self-help.
Let's take a look at the corresponding Korean movie "The Furnace". When those deaf and mute young girls were attacked by the beast principal in the almshouse, they were really caught in their hands and wanted to cry without tears.
In the power mechanism, the mentally ill, minors, etc. are in a position where their rights are restricted. They have little right to speak, and they may be taken away by strong guardians. Of course, the opposite situation occurs in the Danish film "Hunting". In a country with a high awareness of rights and a well-thought-out protection mechanism for vulnerable groups, any allegations made by minors against adults are taken seriously, recorded, and resorted to legal, public opinion and other channels. rights to frame innocent adults. At least this adult has been wronged and almost ruined his future.
4. L wants to love but is afraid of not
being able to love L. Because of being entrusted by a big family, L begins to investigate Mr. M, a well-known "documentary literature" reporter who is deeply involved in a lawsuit but has conscience, wisdom and courage. The results confirmed that Mr. M was indeed a gentleman and was worthy of the family's trust. Mr. M then accepted a secret investigation mission from the big family and completed the investigation before his second trial and imprisonment.
L continued to help M from the dark to the light, and later became a lover, and was revealed by a tabloid reporter.
However, L is still afraid of being together in the end.
L went to visit his mother in the orphanage.
"Mom, I'm sorry, I only came to see you now." The
mother looked in a trance, maybe also mentally ill, but just reached out and touched her daughter's face.
"Child, are you married now? Or do you have a lover?"
L hesitated, "Well, Mom, I do love someone, but you know, I'm afraid of getting too deep."
"Son, this is mine. It's my fault that I didn't find a good father for you."
Cui Weiping once compared and commented on the Japanese film "Confession" and the Danish film "A Better World". The former can reveal the dark miracle of human nature, while the latter can discover the highest possibility of human nature. The former is realistic, while the latter takes into account both realism and belief.
In this movie, L is also happy to help M solve a big trouble at the end of the movie. This woman seems to be violent, cause trouble, and has been abused, and deserves sympathy. But the above mother-daughter dialogue is also a very rare moment. Cutting this out will not hinder the good-looking of the movie itself - all kinds of restricted-level scenes have appeared, and the story itself is smooth and suspenseful. But L crossed the line to help M solve the case from the very beginning, maybe it was because of her curiosity; she jumped on M in the middle of the night, the female superior had sex, and most of it was sexual desire. However, this mother-daughter dialogue still explained the shadow of her childhood, and she couldn't let it go for the time being, and she still didn't dare to have a long-term intimate relationship.
It is said that the original book of the film has a trilogy and was written by a Swiss writer. I don't know if M led L out of the psychological shadow. This might be considered a coming-of-age novel.
