This unannounced murder made the audience laugh. Why are you laughing? The shooter and the dead have no grievances, never know each other, but the existence of each other troubles each other, Pete touched Clooney's sensitive and lonely nerves, and touched Clooney's arrogant and arrogant nerves. Boundary, so the tragedy and sexy happened.
"Burn after reading" was like a joke, laughing everywhere the camera went. Adapted from the novel "Highly Confidential: The President, the CIA Director, and Special Agents" by Stanfield Turner, who was the former director of the CIA, but the Cohen brothers will definitely exceed your expectations. Perhaps it will not satisfy your expectations for espionage deciphering and the post-Cold War CIA, or even dispel your original concepts. However, where is life fixed? Even the characters who have already put on masks will be taken off by brother Cohen before being sent to the stage, so that you can see the embarrassment behind those glamorous, staggering under the pretence .
The mediocre bureaucrats of the CIA in the film are at a loss and clueless in the face of emergencies, far away from the audience's imagination. The dismissed intelligence analyst Osborne was frivolous in his words and deeds without mystery. Clooney, the executive officer of the Federal Ministry of Finance, was vain and diligent, selling professional resumes everywhere, precisely exposing the heart of lack. You will find that the direction of the story is unexpected, the chemical reactions between the characters are subtle and interesting, the parts, details, and coincidences are ready to come out, but only the preaching and reasoning are missing. This kind of film that hardly gives the "Three Views" just releases greater freedom.
The story told in "Burn after Reading" is smooth and unconstrained. It seems that an old friend who hasn't seen her in a few years is nagging about her affairs, and it is like a former colleague complaining about the gossip of the unit. He smiled faintly when he heard it, but the reflection was full of weirdness. The first shot started from the CIA Virginia office. The echo of Oxford shoes stepping on the marble floor was magnified by the empty corridor, and the employee A who occasionally entered the lens looked nervous. When you thought Osborne, an intelligence analyst, was about to accept a mission, you saw him being fired. When you thought he was going to feel the ups and downs of his intelligence career, you saw him scolding his mother. When he was at home and vowed to use his memoirs to shake up the secrets, his wife who wanted to plan a divorce had already obeyed the lawyer’s advice and saved the numbers in the memoirs as financial status on the CD-ROM, but he was obsessed with plastic surgery in the gym. Linda, who had no money, and her colleague Pete started a farce to blackmail him. They sent the CD-ROM to the Soviet embassy in the United States, but were told that it was not a secret. So, the helpful Pete sneaked into Osborne's home, looking for more valuable information, accidentally ran into his wife's lover, Clooney, and staged an absurd murder.
Such an anti-climactic climax plot is Cohen's masterpiece, giving the audience an experience beyond their imagination, which is probably their pleasure. They are willing to break the sequence of narratives, knead together the civilians who are pursuing the decent middle class and those who are looking for overnight prosperity, strip off their coats, and expose them to the spotlight. Their camera always walks close to the ground, taking pictures of the blindness and blindness that can't be seen in everyday life. The character is not controlled by reality, especially not controlled by the director. At first glance, it looks chaotic, and I admire Cohen's insights and insights carefully. They hand over the fate of the characters to the characters themselves and to the relationships between the characters, so that we can see subtle butterfly effects and clues.
As Sartre said, others are hell.
Sometimes others may be the initiators of our actions. Gradually, the rationality of existence has become habitual, and we still don't even know it. The self-proclaimed witty Clooney is still in the dark about his wife sending detectives to follow him, and the pretentious CIA officer can only calm down in the face of unarmed civilian threats. Several unrelated people were tied together by the memoirs of intelligence analysts, and they collided with Cohen's humor. The farce proved the inevitability of countless accidents. Most of the out-of-control situations may stem from the strong desire for control behind them.
In order to create this absurd drama, the film’s all-star lineup cannot be avoided. In addition to the roles of Clooney and Pete with faces and no heads, Oscar Best Actress Francis, Fairy Queen Tilda, Oscar Best Supporting actor Simmons also played the role of the threader for the film. The so-called serious funny, just satirizes the unbearable reality. Clooney's vanity, Pete's recklessness, Linda's directness, the incompetence of CIA employees, Osborne's cowardice, and his wives' calculations, the chain reaction between various people, etc., was interpreted by a lot of big names. , A few sets of jokes at your fingertips, exquisite and full of texture.
The film is a self-crimping comedy that mocks the survival of modern people.
