To live is egoism

French-Argentine director Gaspar Nou. His guts and awareness shocked the world. "I'm Hard" is his first feature film. Its power of shock and the malevolence that provokes viewers is not under "Irrevocable" (also by this dude). At first glance, the film seems to be full of sympathy for the underprivileged, but unexpectedly it is a trap carefully set by the director. It is not a social indictment of a tragic fate, but a cruel act of exposing the scars of human nature. It's a blatant morbid catharsis.

The film tells the story of the unfortunate life of the protagonist through his endless monologue. Just as "killing horses is not for pleasure, but for cooling nerves", the director made this film not for artistic pursuits, but for cooling nerves. After the director vented through the terrifying image, he could wash and sleep, leaving a bunch of fans stunned, unable to relax for a long time.

The film discusses morality, but there is no morality at all. "What is morality? It is a tool used by rich people to deceive people. Guns control the law of morality, which is absolute justice." Such world-weary ravings fill the film from beginning to end, haunting heavy cynicism, blindly The complaining, the monotonous catharsis, the violent revenge for no reason, and the extremely absurd anarchist tendency make the film empty of form. The abrupt editing, the act of pretending to be a B, and the gripping smothering sound during every editing. The second half hour of the film is unimaginable. The director pretends to use letters in a deep or naughty way to remind the audience that those with limited psychological capacity can leave quickly within 30 seconds.
