This person is made by me

Necrophilia, obsessive-compulsive disorder, murderous maniac, cold-faced person, psychological master, arrogant, such a person who has no merits to delineate, the face is really terrible. Therefore, it cannot be viewed from a realist concept (of course, it is also possible to have a good time), but an event organization full of metaphors.

One case after another, every step of the way, I am really surprised that I still like it. Jack's control over people's hearts is detached, and he smirked professionally all the way, and finally was guided by Verge. To be honest, after the Verge came out, the religious meaning made the film less boring, depressing and indifferent. The position of "Dante's Boat" declares that this is actually Satan's evil in the world. If people are so bad, there is no point in living, but this "people" is Satan, and it is destroyed in the end. It is a bright ending. When Verge left, the demon could not be saved. The red clothes were engulfed in flames and destroyed in the endless black of light. The world was seen from the negative and melted into the negative. The color composition was beautiful. The wave of the sickle is the last bit of kindness in Jack's heart, or is it the origin of his evil thoughts? (You are in heaven, and you are still living boringly)

The soundtrack is ironic, Satan can't sing. A soul that is never satisfied, never tries to understand and be understood. The director's intention is too obvious, but it makes people question it. Is this evil? What is evil? What is art? Jack seems to be running on the road of pursuing "the art of evil". He thinks he is so arrogant and invincible, but because of this, he cannot confirm himself, and he never arrives.

The road is not on the right track, how can we reach it? The pursuit of extreme evil is often not achieved, or in fact Jack does not understand evil at all, because he has never experienced real human life, so he will not become a human being, let alone a villain. Is he then absolute "evil" itself? No, there is no such "evil", he doesn't understand the scythe of heaven, what is the happiness of Huang Cancan. He fell into the abyss because of the steep cliff with nowhere to stand. This is also the biggest metaphor for his experience in the world, but he is not like the black spot on the film. The mystery and depth of the black spot comes from the surrounding White, and there is no element of white in him. Maybe he shouldn't exist.

"This house is made by me", yes, this person is made by me.

    While watching, I probably scolded Feng Tier a hundred times for being an idiot. My stomach was constantly stirring, and the first thing I woke up this morning was to pour out a pot of pork ribs stewed on New Year's Eve. Just like Von Trier didn't feel so surprised when he broke the rape and sexual harassment scandal, if it were revealed that he was a serial killer, I don't think he would raise his eyebrows, because you can't guess the extension of his art, where is the end. This film lets us know that instead of trying to defeat and convince evil with logic, you will find out how perfectly self-consistent and smooth how evil can be in a self-contained system. It even cites scriptures to prove its beauty and wisdom. If the purpose of being a human being is to keep “creating” = building a house of your own, with the materials you choose, and the structure you decide, the house is the meaning and the destination. Killing 100 people is used to relieve pain and create joy, but in the end, it can't match the pleasant rustling sound of the sickle across the wheat grass under the golden sunlight, the rhythmic calm between the breath and the breath. So, that is "Elysium".
