The tall and slender beauty was stripped off to the point where only her underwear and garter stockings were left, and then several people got on and off, rubbed her whole body with oil, and forcibly stuffed it into the sewer. In order to get the antidote, stay alive!
The horror-comedy frenetic Spanish film, "Bar," is expected to be a hit recently.
An ordinary white man, several people who have nothing to do with each other meet in a bar in Madrid.
One person walked out of the bar and was quickly headshot by a stun gun.
The people on the street scattered as birds and beasts, and in a flash, the lying corpse appeared on the street, and there was nothing else.
The firefighters in the bar decided to go out to rescue, but others hurried to stop them, worried that the gunman hiding in the building would set off a dark gun again.
The result... Sure enough, it was guessed, and the fireman was also shot in the head.
The rest of the bar was afraid to go out again.
This is how the story came to an end.
What the hell is going on outside? Why are we stuck here? Can we get out alive?
The above questions provide suspense and attract the attention of the audience, but they are only superficial.
In a closed space, the external pressure is constantly increasing, which will inevitably bring about violent turbulence in the internal environment.
The behavior of characters under heavy pressure has torn off the mask of civilization and cut off the reins of reason. Humanity and sensibility will gradually control everyone's soul.
Yes, the extreme environment created by "Bar" is to test human nature.
In the beginning, the characters in the bar began to speculate on the truth of the incident based on social stereotypes.
Is it a terrorist attack? Recent bomb attacks in Europe.
So the man with the beard in the bar and the man with the suitcase were excluded from suspicion.
When the crisis eased a little, the people in the bar began to form gangs to seek mutual benefit and win-win results, and to fight against differences.
In the bar, there are IT white-collar workers, the middle class, police officers, bar owners, bar clerks, beggars, and sexy women.
There are old, middle and young people of all ages, as well as the upper, middle and lower social classes, and there are violently organized police and ordinary citizens.
Completely a highly concentrated small society.
The director just hopes to pierce those things in human nature with this micro interpersonal organization.
The story of "Bar" develops to the later stage, and it is completely a human Shura field. The selfishness, greed, viciousness and evil side of human beings are gradually fully revealed after facing layers of pressure.
The film has three very critical props and designs.
gun! Limited antidote! Three floors of space!
Let's talk guns first.
One of the members, a former police officer, was wearing a gun. This is an important weapon for violence to control the discourse power of small society.
Of the 8 people in the bar, whoever gets the gun has the right to speak. They all know the role of guns. In different people, guns exercise the same ability to threaten control, but because of differences in human nature and depth of conscience, the final behavior of the characters will be biased.
The police took the money, drove away, and quarantined some people.
The beggar got the money and directly gained the long-lost power across the class, becoming crazy and autocratic.
When the IT man got the gun, he could finally be a man, but he couldn't surpass his weak nature.
Weapons are a double-edged sword, bad guys with guns and good guys with guns may behave the same, but the results will definitely be different.
A gun can test the true hearts of people of different classes and genders. It is completely a "mirror mirror" that penetrates a person's surface and shoots directly at his soul.
Another key prop in the film is the limited antidote.
It turned out that the bar was blocked because a soldier infected with the virus entered the bar toilet. He failed to inject the antidote he was wearing in time and died.
But he left behind 4 antidote.
The government imposed a closure, giving up the small to protect the big, ready to sacrifice the people in the bar. Soon 5 of the 8 were left, but there were always only 4 antidote.
Who injects becomes a key issue in the fight later in the film.
Wrapped in a gun that symbolizes violence and power, the pressure of a limited antidote elevates the tension of the conflict between the characters, and the characters gradually begin to distort and experience a huge character arc transformation.
IT men go from being elegant to crazy.
Beggars have changed from giving up on themselves to being greedy for life and fear of death, full of desires.
The lost old lady even kills the familiar bar guy for the antidote.
A simple girl with a scheming.
No one wants to be the one who has to die.
The gun and the antidote are straight-up testing of humanity. From a macro perspective, the director also set up a three-layer space with a special meaning as a metaphor for the gradual blackening of human nature.
In the beginning, the movie scene takes place in a normal, well-lit bar. There are traces of civilization here, people are cleanly dressed and have a good conversation...
When the police suspected that the people who touched the body and the phone were infected with the virus, he drove 5 of them down to the basement of the bar.
The basement was dark and suffocating, and the conversation began to revolve around despair, with deep fear in the words.
Even more amazing is that there is also a sewer outlet in the basement.
The beggar first tried to escape through the sewers, but failed.
When the antidote is transferred into the sewer, the girl with the graceful figure is entrusted with the task.
So the story of the beauties that Fat Brother began to introduce appeared strangely.
The girl who was pushed down and got the antidote, motivated her mind, and asked everyone to come down.
So people entered the dirty, dung-flowing small waterways, and continued the life-and-death struggle.
Undoubtedly, with the arrival of the climax of the plot.
The human nature in the sewers began to be fully revealed, becoming hideous and extremely cruel.
Guns, antidote, sewers... The intertextual resonance of key props and scenes directly pushes the plot to a climax, and also brings down the humiliation of civilization, revealing the most primitive side of human nature.
At this moment, the so-called social class, the so-called gender gap, the so-called rationality and civilization have all been dissolved into the word "survival".
Humans claim to be advanced animals, but in extreme environments, it is so easy and fast to degenerate into microbes such as those in the title.
"Bar" does not deal with this theme with bitter lines and story design, but often satirized with black humorous comedy behavior.
This makes "Bar" completely a bloody comedy of normal people turning into madmen.
