#聖動說# ☞Let's just say it first, I'm just an ordinary junior high school student, and writing movie reviews is just to exercise my writing skills as a way of writing and reading, no one says that only big guys can write, right? If there is something wrong, please teach me, don't curse. At first, I thought Mr. Verdue was very familiar. With the belief that "foreigners all look alike", I found out that he was really Chaplin. I thought he only acted in silent films... he was lonely... Adapted from a real story, Mr. Verdue in the film was a bank clerk. Later, he was resigned from the Great Depression, and his house and land were not guaranteed. In order to protect his wife and children, he started a business - seduce a rich and rich wife and then kill him. their property. The first half is really funny. In order to seduce different women, he uses different identities and different routines to seduce different people, which is simply a classic textbook for seducing girls. Sure enough, women are easy to chase, even if they are over 500 years old, as long as you pay attention to the image and then rhetoric, you can catch up... (Don't learn) The film starts to explain the background of Mr. Verdue in the middle of the film, and his wife can't live without a wheelchair , and also has a lovely son. Although this cannot be the reason for his murder, it is true that his starting point is very simple-to protect his family. The character of Mr. Verdue is very contradictory. In order to highlight this contradiction, some details are set very trivially. For example, he has a cruel side: in order to make money, he brutally killed 14 women, and he continues to look for the next target. ; In order to test the medicinal properties of the poison, he was going to experiment with helpless girls. At the same time, he also has a compassionate side: he will observe the caterpillar on the ground and put it among the flowers; he will stop his son from teasing the cat; because he is moved by the girl's pure love for her husband, he will change the poisonous wine and give it to him. He paid her a sum of money... Another example, he said he didn't believe there was any love in the world, but he loved his wife and son so much.
Mr. Verdue's world view is negative, and the whole movie can feel obvious despair, Mr. Verdue's strict mood is about to overflow the screen (I really don't know if it is because of Chaplin's strictness) He He had no repentance for the soul he had been killed, and was even numb. In the end, he lost his wife and son, as well as his home. The police came to arrest him. He did not choose to escape, and sent himself to the guillotine.
As the judge said, he has a brain, and if he can use it to do business, then he must have his own career. Good and evil are only in one thought. He is indeed a victim of the times, but he is so smart that he can hover between different women with ease. I have to say that this is a skill, but he chooses to use the love of these women for him. Although the label is black humor, except for the first half, the second half is almost depressing, with a little humor, mostly black. You can't laugh, I even doubt how many people can keep watching. Monsieur Verdu is numb and desperate, he is not unshakable, in the conversation with the stray girl, he is shaken, but he does not want to believe in the existence of beauty, so he sends the girl away: "Before your philosophy corrupts me , you better go."
I admire such high-IQ criminals very much, and at the same time feel sorry for them, they could have left their names in the world in a different way. When they died, all they felt was endless resentment and despair. But they are also not worthy of sympathy. He imposed his own misfortune on others because of his own misfortune. The women killed by him were innocent, and even died of trusting him. Perhaps his surrender was a kind of atonement, Too bad he didn't deserve it. He was only immersed in his own pain and thought his actions were reasonable, but it was still a cowardly way to point a knife at others. He couldn't help but think of some news about criminals with high IQs. Perhaps the smarter the person, the easier it is to do it. Make extreme choices, create or destroy.
I wish there were more of the former.
