Goodbye Cronenberg

I accidentally turned to "Snowpiercer" and learned that the action direction chosen by the director originated from this "Promise of the East". The initial search on TLF turned out to be fruitless, and Du Niang, who asked for help, found out that it was translated into "Murder of the Giant Tower", an extremely vulgar name. It is estimated that the director would not recognize his own movie when he saw the name.

The rhythm of the movie is not very fast, and the most outstanding thing in each scene is the eyes, which slowly burst out with the language of each character, and the scenes that are advancing slowly are accompanied by the most trivial eating and drinking in life, without the slightest sense of disobedience. .

The ending is so bloody, director, you have to come to such a place while trying to shape the successor of the gangster. Of course, in the final protagonist's eyes, he could not see that he was living for others, and everything he chose was to live well for himself. he made it.

The nagging narration is in the usual Russian style, reminiscent of Dostoevsky's dialogue. Most moods are automatically passing scenes.

The rhythm of the film also seems to have seen the opening scene of "Taxi Driver", driving his taxi in the colorful night scene at midnight, swaying all the way to dawn.

I searched for the director's work, but I haven't seen most of them. Only later there was an impressive "History of Violence" that I had seen, and it really left a naked picture. We are destined to rely on our instinct to remember the elements that stimulate the surge of adrenal hormones. Thinking of God first, at first glance, it is the sequelae of the West; later, Nuwa appeared, which was forced by reason. Is there such a resentment? The former sounds very masculine, and the latter, on the contrary, if it rises to national character, it seems that some shadows can be found throughout the historical ups and downs of the East and the West.

Going a little further, this kind of director style is probably destined to be impossible to be accepted by more general theater chains, so that it is only known that such a genius director exists!

    I prefer a history of violence

    Even more exciting than "The History of Violence", Vigo's nude scenes are too powerful.
