man is a vassal of dog

People can be their own masters, but people in the movie like to put their souls on dogs. On the contrary, the relationship between people and dogs has been reversed, and people have become vassals of dogs. The first stanza is mainly about the younger brother. Elopement with sister-in-law, to fight dogs with others to make money, this is just a story, and the form of this story is that the struggle of dogs has become a tool for people to hunt for money, but if you only see this, it is actually very superficial and superficial. It shows the cruelty and selfishness of people. In fact, people are no longer dependent on themselves. They are attached to the dog fights, so that even if the boss of the little gangster loses more money and loses more dogs, he will continue to fight dogs. Indeed, from the dog's point of view, this is the dog's sorrow, but the dog's sorrow is forced, and the emptiness and withdrawal of people is one's own choice, the sister-in-law is attached to her husband, even if her husband treats her like this. Even if it’s bad, I still don’t give up. This is not love, but losing myself. Just like men are attached to fighting dogs, sister-in-law is also attached to her husband.
And what about brother? He knew that at the end of the movie, he was also sad for his sister-in-law, who would give up like this? But my brother is a complete bastard and hooligan, and finally died of his own evil. This seems to be a satire on the so-called life. No one thinks that life is pure life. They always hope to find it in other people or other dogs. A shred of presence.
And what about the second quarter? This is the chapter I miss most in Soderbergh's "Sex, Lies, and Videotape". It is sad but very special. In the mundane affairs of marriage and love in the upper class, there is a lot of jokes and it constitutes a lover. A time bomb that bursts at any time, and it is a time bomb that is pillowed on the head. It disappears when it shouldn't disappear, but it also appears when it should appear most. Between lovers, it's like a female protagonist is injured. The legs are the same, and they are supported by the bracket in time, and it will not take long. Although at the end of the second part of the movie, they are attached to each other in front of the floor-to-ceiling windows, but is this the end? Too simple~~~ The male protagonist is still tied by his ex-wife. The female protagonist lost a leg. For a star, it is basically ruined in the second half of her life. Will she raise a case with the male protagonist in the wheelchair for the rest of her life? Like the first part, the solution of the male and female protagonists is like Schrödinger's "cat". In fact, everyone can basically guess one or two, but we don't want to let the movie continue to tell the story. If we tell it, we are the one who created the tragedy. isn't it?
And the second story is one of my favorite stories. The sense of rhythm and the meaning of discussion are also more profound. The killer image of the old beggar should be remembered in film history. , and showed humanity, aroused guilt and longing for family warmth and daughter, the main story told in the third part is that the old beggar was hired to kill the half-brother of the employer. It was a simple business of 150,000 The beggar is interesting to create a confrontation between the two brothers, which is also what the creator of the film hopes to express. Is human nature so fragile? At the end of the movie, the old beggar did not call in the wilderness to ask if the two brothers had solved it, old beggar It's just that he has been redeemed. The worst people use dirty hands to pick up pure souls, but the ordinary world has never lacked the hidden dangers of sin. The sin lies in human nature, and the dog is just a coercive soul sustenance, just like the old beggar's previous dog was bitten to death by the male protagonist's dog in the first episode, it was originally trained as a fighting dog, this kind of unconscious people. The descendants cannot control, but they are caused by the ancestors.

The non-linear narrative of the movie makes me always think of Pulp Fiction when I watch it again, and the tone is somewhat similar, but the overall feeling of the movie is more literary and artistic than Pulp Fiction, more like a European movie than an American movie, although It's a Mexican movie.
