The dirt of human nature, the depravity of human nature

September 27, 2013 Talk about immediate feelings. A psychological movie, a patient movie, a ridiculous movie. A patient who cannot escape the shadow of childhood, a patient who cannot escape the fact that his wife and daughter are gone. Two psychological lines: One line is that because of childhood jealousy, his younger brother died unexpectedly (or intentionally), and he has lived in self-contradiction since then. From those dreams with the psychologist, we can see Bruce's self-blame and struggle , and the manifestation of this fear is the phantom of various animals. When will those phantoms run out? When the mood is particularly low, the image of the younger brother before his death will come out, and when the mood is particularly intense, the head of the animal will come out. Is this a form of psychological stress? Moreover, because this self-blame cannot be compensated, this mental illness cannot be cured for life. The other line is the departure of his wife and daughter. Bruce can't accept his wife's departure. He loves his wife deeply. Even when he is playing SM with other women, he is talking about his wife's name. He even bumped into his wife in the supermarket. Coupled with the failure in the workplace, his dream was overturned, his psychology collapsed, and he chose to commit suicide. So after his wife left, self-deception to pretend to be his wife, to feel the presence of his wife in this way, he knew he was sick, and in a rant to Amanda, because of this sickness, the wife left him, he was desperate Yes, so use this extreme way to deceive yourself, men with successful careers are the sexiest, living in the imagination that their wives will come back as long as they are promoted. Therefore, he will do whatever it takes to play all kinds of colleagues in the palm of his hand, sow discord, sleep Gus's wife, and cause Gus to cut his wrists and attempt suicide; create confusion rumors about Ray's gender orientation; especially to his only friend, Clifford , also played a cruel hand, and finally let the police misjudge him as a pervert who made harassing calls to Bounty, and put him in jail. In fact, it can be seen that Bruce is very smart. He knows everyone's character traits, seizes the fatal point of everyone, uses them, but only uses them in immoral places. Is this the dirt of human nature? Chrissy and Bundy are addicted to sex, their infidelity to their marriage, Bruce's childhood jealousy of his younger brother, and Ray's promotion as a different person, only the women are rescued in the end, luckily their husbands still love them , and Bruce sinks into the dirt of human nature, and then dies in the dirt of human nature, and finally cannot save himself. Sexual abuse, drug use, cross-dressing, and the violence of those punks. The language of the camera lens is actually very smooth, allowing you to clearly distinguish which are dreams and which are reality when the answers are revealed in the second half. The dream part has the virtual feeling of the filter, and the memory part has the old tone processing. I don't know if Mary, the last widowed Can save Bruce, Mary should be the other side of the dirt in the film, and whether Bruce committed suicide at the end with the scarf given by Mary is also an irony. Personally, I don't like absurd movies, or this kind of violent absurdity. It's a bit close to the style of trainspotting and pulp fiction. Just like when Bruce finally videotaped Clifford, it was obviously a tearful episode. But also to add that kind of ridicule. In the experience of watching the movie, there is no sense of immersion, it is too detached.

  • Bruce Robertson: See, every time a woman drops her trousers: promotion. Every time a man drops theirs: disciplinary action. Where's the equality in that?

  • Bruce Robertson: The games are always, repeat always, being played. But nobody plays the games like me. Detective Sergeant Bruce Robertson, soon to be Detective Inspector Bruce Robertson. You just have to be the best, and I usually am. Same rules apply.
