The dark line of "The Tuner", the director's ambition is one step away from chess

Regarding "The Tuner", several popular articles about his outstanding features have been elaborated. I personally like this movie, but this film review briefly expounds a dark line that is not handled properly in this movie, the director and the masterpiece Some missed deals.

religious factor

At the beginning of the film, there is a scene where the male protagonist is worshiping a temple. As we all know, India, as one of the four ancient civilizations, has a very strong religious background. Every aspect of Indian life is related to Hinduism and Buddhism.

The style of the painting changed and came to the victim's home, a modern scene, but what was played on the computer was the actor's past glory, old songs before retirement, the victim was addicted to the past, and his wife had been playing pop in the kitchen The jazz music, this small conflict has already laid a small foreshadowing for the next murder.

The necklace hung by the heroine's father, a wealthy westernized family, also provides the basis for the ending European encounter.

This is the first time that the male protagonist chooses to call the police. Before reporting the murder case, the woman with the tattoo of Lord Shiva I met. Here I am different from the popular opinion that "the male protagonist has been living in a lie". The male protagonist has He came out of his consciousness of the lie, but the following accident forced him to return to the lie.

The neighbor's wife, a Christian, tried to debunk the lie but failed.

The male protagonist is about to lose two kidneys, and the last time he is saved by Lord Shiva.

The golden Buddha statue, which the police took away from the femme fatale office, immediately broke out into a fierce conflict with his wife, who was wearing traditional clothes at home.

At the end, the male protagonist sang to God on the roadside before the "discovery of conscience". Since then, the three turning points of the male protagonist are all related to Hinduism under the arrangement of the director. These treatments are montages and metaphors. There are similar treatments in movies, and I will not give examples here.

However, these treatments are obviously not mature enough. If you want to show oracles and publicize karma, others can explain it. The death of the neighbor's wife appears innocent and cannot be explained from a religious level. If it does not show religious clues, then these scenes are redundant. Is it right? In addition to the more obvious traces described in this article, there are two mentions of Chinese food in the film, and the last Islamic Middle East rich man. Are these the director's unintentional actions?

Therefore, in terms of suspense and other metaphors, the director's approach is very exciting. For example, the child who is selfish and greedy for money basically represents the connotation of the whole film, but in terms of religion, many clues have not been connected together, which seems a bit messy and intangible. Mind, this misses God's work, which is a pity.
