I finally finished reading the Abe Kobo trilogy ("The Face of Others", "The Sand Girl" and "Trap") by the imperial envoy Hiroshi Kawahara. These three films are all adapted from the novels of the Japanese existentialist master and writer Abe Kobo. For the other two, "The Trap" is not the best, but it is also a very good movie. The dubbing at the beginning scared me, it was amazing, the excellent dubbing until the end, it is really good, different, This soundtrack style has continued to "Sand" and "He", and "He" is the highest art piece of the combination of Hiroshi Kawara and Abe Kobo, but later on, it is also adapted from the short film "White Morning" by Abe Kobo. It seemed cluttered, too harsh, too abrupt, and incoherent.
The perspective and structure of "Trap" is very unique. It uses the first perspective and puzzled questioning of people and ghosts aroused by a murder case to question the society of Japan at that time, satirizing the whole society as a huge and sophisticated trap. The murderer who set the trap It is a hidden peeping, that all living people can't see and can't guess, the ghosts after death can see but have no omniscient perspective to understand the cause of their death, the next generation of flowers is cold-blooded and numb to witness the whole process but can't do anything, a greedy and cruel beast. White-clothed Chuchu (white-clothed is an endorsement of truth, goodness and beauty in literature all over the world. In ancient China, Liu Yong's poems included "white-clothed minister", and abroad it was "white-clothed angel"). This is a vicious circle of society, where the devil sets and rules the order.
Abe Kobo is a master of existentialism, and he has explained the meaning of the existence of the individual psychologically, the meaning of the existence of the individual, and the meaning of the existence of the group. Expression (I haven’t read the original work, so I don’t know if the original work has this structure), one is real life, and the other is unreal scenes (this is surrealism, magicism), but unreal scenes also serve real life, yes In order to achieve the effect of strengthening the verification, the combination is more visual impact and artistic effect, very Kafka.
In fact, I have never read the works of Kafka, the sage of existentialism, but I have seen the super disgusting and perverted film "Naked Lunch", and everyone who has watched it is amazed. This is the fundamental tenet of Kafka, true and surreal. Switching back and forth blurs the line between true and false, so that you can't tell which is true and which is false, and even 10,000 grass and mud horses gallop past, making you pick up your stool and smash the screen, yelling at your mother, what is this TMD filming? !
To say that super nausea and perversion is only for the picture, or for the audience with weak understanding and thinking ability, if the understanding and thinking ability is strong, it will distract attention and greatly weaken the degree of nausea and perversion, because there are more in the process of watching the movie. Time is connecting thinking. For example, the films of the surrealist pioneering director Shuji Terayama often have many pornographic scenes. For many audiences, this is a pornographic film, which can make them have strong hormone secretion, but for a viewer who likes philosophical thinking, he does not care. These erotic parts are thinking about sex and love, sex and hate, the joy of gain, the pain of loss, and the deepest and most fundamental source of all this, which is what comes from the depths of the soul, and the erotic situation is only as a reinforcement effect .
Having said so much, readers should have a general understanding of the concepts of existentialism, surrealism, and Kafka. In fact, "Trap" is not disgusting, perverted and pornographic at all. His surrealism is also very ordinary, but serious and enhanced. The blank space left for people is very broad, which can trigger the audience's comprehensive thinking on psychology, people, people and people, people and society, and the whole society. This is the characteristic of many excellent movies.
