A simple kidnapping case has become absurd and twisted and bizarre under the siege of ugly humanity. The exit to the light is close at hand, but it is far away. People get lost in the maze of humanity. Without knowing it, in the end, in a dark night, he swallowed the bitter fruit of the irrigation of an ugly human nature.

Ugly humanity has been involved in the investigation of the case almost from the beginning. The superintendent, who is obsessed with bureaucracy, does not rush to inquire about the case, but blindly puts on airs and makes things difficult for the reporter. In the film, this plot is deduced into a difficult 8 minutes, 8 minutes in the superintendent's meaningless questioning and interruption , Obstruction, as long as a century! And when you feel extremely angry, you find that this is just the beginning, when you want to accuse the officials of negligence, but find that this is not the worst part of the story, after all, they are not related to the little girl! Later, the girl's stepfather, uncle, mother, father, and her father's girlfriend and friends all exposed the ugly temperament that had been hidden for a long time under the guidance of the case. None of them put the girl's safety first, but fiddled with Starting their own little abacus, some people want to report their revenge in college to vent their anger, and some people want to take the opportunity to corrupt a huge sum of money to repay their debts... These are all people who are close to the little girl! Some are even close relatives! Time is ticking away, the ugly human nature is constantly fermenting, and the girl's life is slowly passing away. The film "Kindness" has a timely broadcast date, but everyone is indifferent, and the audience gradually tastes a little bit in the absurd story. The bad side also turned optimistic: maybe the little girl wasn't kidnapped at all, it was just a farce.



The police's absurd logic in solving the case came from the sheriff's personal feud in college. He hated the girl's father, so he


It's not uncommon for movies to have a big reversal in the ending, but this film still managed to create a huge shocking effect. The common reversal pattern is aimed at showing off IQ and giving a superb answer, but this film goes in the opposite direction, giving the audience an extremely simple but extremely cruel answer, which is different from the previous seemingly complicated and unpleasant answer. The case of people laughing, forming a strong contrast, slapped the ugly human nature and slapped the face - the case was so simple, it was the ugliness of human nature that confused the eyes and missed the opportunity to rescue the little girl - the little girl was starved to death , The corpse that began to rot, symbolizing the degeneration of human nature, and the smiling face mask in her hand looked extremely strange, just like the triumphant appearance of the devil after he succeeded.





When we saw the ending, we couldn't help but feel ashamed of all the ugly characters in the film, and even felt ashamed of ourselves. After all, we didn't show any anxiety during the whole rescue process, but Watching the absurd performances of these ugly characters with peace of mind, and feeling superior to make some slanted guesses, this is the best part of the film. It deliberately uses an absurd tone to portray the ugly heart of the characters and induces the audience to be evil. To a certain extent, the simple and cruel answer is also a kind of IQ crushing in disguise, which uses reverse thinking to tease everyone, including the audience. This kind of molesting became especially prominent after the girl's uncle blackmailed a huge sum of money. This fat man tied the banknotes to his fat waist and twisted his body desperately to celebrate in the exaggerated and loud music. The complementary colors of orange and blue highlight the sharp color contrast, as if to show the madness of this man after he became rich. The picture of the girl struggling to death due to hunger uttered a mournful whimper amid the surging of colors and the beat of the rhythm, and I felt a tingling in my throat.

Girl's uncle goes crazy after getting big money

He was then arrested by the police


I can't help but think of last year's domestic film "The Labyrinth of Heart", which is also a simple case. Under the guidance of various characters, it has become absurd and bizarre. However, its exposure to the ugliness of human nature is far less than that of this Indian film. Being set as a manslaughter case itself is of a moderate nature, and the victim is not a good man and a woman, and suffers from a serious illness, it seems that he should die, and the degree of malignancy is further weakened. It looks the same, but it ends up in a flat ending. No one has become sinful because of their own little abacus, and this film is much more cruel. Basically, everyone can't escape the guilt. Every step of the labyrinth of human nature is full of blood, so "The Labyrinth of Heart" can also be defined by a relatively neutral title. This film is directly titled "Ugly". The audience may be able to watch the former comfortably, but It is absolutely impossible to remain at ease after watching the latter.

The usual chorus and dance scene in Indian films has been erased in this film, apparently to maintain a serious attitude. Who said that Indian films can only sing and dance, in the face of the truth, they have always been sharp rather than soft, this film is an example! Having said this, I can't help but think of the subtitles at the beginning of the film: the inspiration for this film comes from real events. In an instant, the whole person feels bad.
