Three generations of grandparents, in fact, also covers the social scrutiny under the development of contemporary Hungarian history.
From a former Hungarian kingdom regime that may have been the backdrop of World War II. The sexual repression of a submissive orderly by an officer under a dictatorship. The orderly is a pervert. But perhaps the product of a sad social machine.
Then there was the society after Hungary became a Soviet satellite state. The pig-tail kid became a champion of Hungary after the "liberation". World champion of binge eating competition. Then desperate vomiting. At the same time, they are seriously lacking in calorie supplements in life. This is also a hypocritical distorted society. In this period of life, people in China after "liberation" may feel a little deja vu.
The fat father was born a freak with a pig tail. It is also a metaphor that in this socialist Hungarian society, people are just animals kept in captivity.
This obesity is clearly deformed, wasteful, irrational and deceptive. Just like Hungary at the time.
Then, apparently, Hungary after "Su Dongbo". Supermarkets, consumerism.
That grandson is poor and thin. There is no love for the favor, low self-esteem and dedication. His occupation is taxidermy. And his former world champion's fat father, set up a huge fat pile. He misses the glory of the past. Just like some people today miss the era of mao.
Interestingly, the film apparently does not blindly praise this capitalist Hungarian society. He also lacks human concern.
In the end, the poor grandson made both his father and himself into a taxidermy. With his own death he announced the birth of a new work. However, specimens are different from people in that they lack life and vitality.
Maybe it's a work of critique of reality. Of course, some of the shots inside should be unsuitable for children. But such a naked expression of perverted behavior under the suppression of human nature. But it is also an intuitive catharsis. Like the jet of that orderly handjob.
People have become corpses and specimens under the machinery of society. What a cruel phenomenon.
In fact, many shots have metaphorical meanings.
Desire, lust, desirelessness. Human beings have become specimens that lack life.
Reminds me of Orwell's Animal Farm. It turns out Orwell saw it earlier.
