I watched this movie in a hurry. The film was less than an hour and a half, and it took more than two hours to finish watching it in tangle and struggle. During this period, I grabbed the bedpost with my hands several times, clenched my teeth many times, and turned my head many times, and the picture often touched the bottom line. For the untouched violent aesthetics, I went for Quentin's name. Although he is only the producer of the film, not the director. However, no one can deny his value in the film.
As far as the content of the film is concerned, the beginning is really dull and standard American drama. Two idle American college students, backpacking, having fun, and looking for girls. Nightclubs, drugs, swearing. In addition to the seductive girls, they are not beautiful but also unique exotic scenery. Of course, the smell of intrigue begins to spread when you are bored. Then, when you are not ready, various residual limbs, broken corpses, and bloody images that hit the bottom line begin to challenge your nerves. Of course, if the film is just narrated like this, it will be sorry for Eli Rose and Quentin. As we all know, Quentin is known as a ghost. What is a ghost. After watching the movie, I understand that a ghost is a ghost who knows what he is thinking.
This film doesn't seem to me like a pure thriller, it's more like a heavy-duty textbook on dissecting human nature. As far as the characters are concerned, Ouli was promiscuous, indulgent, irresponsible and full of the unique sense of superiority of the Icelanders, so he died first, quietly, leaving only a stupid head. Jia Xu has a great sense of responsibility and does not easily give up the people around him, but what is inconsistent with it is his simplicity, which is out of tune with the overall reality and is too fragile, so weak flesh should be eaten by force and turned into a pile of corpses. Paston is strong, kind, and has the most perfect part of human nature, so he got everyone's prayers, even if the end of the foreshadowing seems like the nightmare is not over, but we hope he can live well. As for the rest, we were somewhat relieved after two bitches and a sinister guy got hit by Paston and then the car ran over. Of course, Kana's collision is still unavoidable.
The film clearly expresses his wishes. The whole film promotes the law of life of the weak, which is different from the step-by-step and side-by-side contrasts in other films. The expression of "Humanskin Inn" is more specific and direct, and of course, more bloody. Backpackers became synonymous with the weak in the film, so they were imprisoned at will, and of course, tortured. Since ancient times, wealthy people, regardless of whether they are Chinese or foreign, are the representatives of the strong, and do not need to be explained. Well, in addition to the weak and the strong, there is usually a group of people who are unwilling to be classified as the weak and try to exchange their flattery and insidiousness for money. Many times, they are the focus of our grievances. In addition to the principle of the law of the jungle, the film actually tells us the principle of survival of the fittest. Paston is alive, not because of how powerful he is, of course there is luck in it, but it is not all, it is because he has adapted to the death of his companions and heinous despair, and the fittest who do not abandon or give up should live. right. Children who were originally a standard weak group, because of adaptation, they became hunters. This group of children has also become the most tangled place for me, and my brows have been wrinkled a few times. In addition, Kana, who experienced great pain, fright, and fled, lost the courage to live just because she saw herself in the glasses after escaping. This is the nature of women and the best proof of survival of the fittest.
There are a few scenes in the film that moved me, and what they have in common revolves around this Paston. One is that when he was about to escape by car, Paston resolutely went back because of Kana's scream. Put myself in my shoes, I don't know if I have the courage. In addition, I don't think they will go back for other characters in the play. After all, what we lack a lot of times is not kindness, but courage. The second is that when encountering the three bitch (can't think of any other name) who deceived himself and led to a series of tragedies, what Paston did was not a hypocritical detour, but kicked the accelerator hard. The collision not only relieved the anger, but also gave us a happy ending with the standard of evil and evil. The third is that when encountering the group of bear children blocking the way, imminent, and life and death at stake, Paston did not be ruthless to the end, but treated them as children with candy. Of course, if he's cold, I'm sure the plot will be rewritten as a death story.
In short, after watching the film, I have a preliminary understanding of this type of film. I don't know if I will watch the "Human Skin Inn" series again, after all, the taste is too heavy. But getting to know Quentin is just the beginning, and I'm going to keep going and hopefully become obsessed with it. After all, infatuation is a luxury most of the time.
