The film tells the story of a middle-class family in Paris who sees a sweet life at first glance. The protagonist George (Daniel Aeteuil) presides over the best-selling book review program on TV, and the heroine Anne (Juliette Binoche) works in a publishing house. She is elegant, wealthy, and tasteful. One day, I found out that my daily life was being watched and photographed all the time. The latent tension between the family, the childhood trauma of the protagonist, and the racial undercurrent of life in Paris all rushed out of the front desk in an instant.
After watching the movie for more than a week, I have been hesitating and hesitating about what to write. I have only watched Michael Haneke's movies, perhaps the most famous "Piano Teacher", "Wolf Moment", "Funny Games" and so on. My deepest impression of "Piano Teacher" is that it is to challenge the audience: what angle can you choose and where to watch my film. The most linear reduction to a few steps: Do you want to figure out what the movie is saying in the most naive way? Or take a step back and make moral or value judgments about it? Or should we take a step back and follow the director to report such a mystery? Is there any motive for him to lure snakes out of their holes? (Don't rush to challenge, these steps are of course not isolated)
"hidden" is no exception. Guan can definitely replace the incompetent police character in the movie, deduce who the two couple Weiss is a boring prankster, and restore the thread and evidence from all over the place to a "truth". However, in the form of film watching, secretly filmed images and real scenes are interspersed with each other, memory and fantasy are indistinguishable, and the distance between the stories told by the storytellers is quite disturbing. ”, looking for the key under the streetlight, in vain.
First copy two paragraphs:
"...by definition, pain is experienced as a meaningless reality, and that is exactly what humiliation is trying to achieve: the speaker aims to utter words that others (the recipients of the words) will not be able to 'subjectify'. decree that it fits into the realm of its own meaning, and in an instant it causes the collapse of the meaning world of others..."
"...the same is true for the image of the 'conceptual Jew': as part of our social experience of reality, it (it) does not It doesn't exist, and that's why I'm more afraid of him (him). . . . the most concise definition of the so-called real is here: the more my (symbolic) push tells me that x is impossible, the more its specter disturbs me . . . ”
Two paragraphs, of course Also copied from zizek, from his "I hear your voice with my eyes", or, Invisible Master. Set to understand that goerge's response is just right and leaky, so good. When he received the unintelligible videotape, he was overwhelmed and almost mad, which is not difficult to understand. Where actions and (presumed) motives diverge or overflow, is the chilling starting point: it points directly to some inexplicable past that no one wants to mention.
If you are interested in the past, please go to the theater to discover it yourself. The interesting thing is that the more you explore, the more you find that all the irrelevant evidence of the suspects is overwhelming and convincing. The question arises on its own and cannot be eliminated: One is, of course, if all the superficial evidence is not valid, then who is the prankster? The two are that George was provoked almost completely out of control. How can he understand his psychological reaction? Under what circumstances can a person be so anxious and hysterical that even an ordinary black teenager riding a bicycle passing by in front of him would cut a big crack in his heart, unconditionally exposing those who shouldn't see the light. What I want to note here, I am afraid it is no longer, since I am innocent, I will make a big reaction; it is more radical and arbitrary: such a big reaction, there must be some wildness.
Of course, the daily life of Xiangxiangshu does not allow for meaningless candid photography, and the unjustifiable excitement and loss of control even more clearly hint at the hidden vein of such a reaction: some childhood experiences that are unwilling to repeat. The reluctance to retell is not necessarily accidental and arbitrary, and the gaps left are all the more tempting for George to make accusations of self-defense. In other words, the director refrained from revealing George's "truth", but only flickered it in fragments. It could be out of some mature guiding sentiment, and he regarded it as the director's understanding of what the real world is - refusing to be symbolized as Meaningful narrative — and definitely fitting. As long as it is pointed out that the male protagonist who was disturbed by the candid filming was not simply violated by boredom, the movie would become a huge black hole, and the audience would go to the west by mistake.
As for the gaze element implied by that candid shot? Does this rather obvious element justify or disprove the above analysis? As long as we don't forget the most terrifying part of staring, the object being stared at will always reflect the gaze at a blind spot. This is the source of powerful anxiety. The position or object of the reflex gaze is a reminder of life and death: don’t think that the person watching and the person being watched have a stable and self-sufficient position. In hidden, is the most coincidental thing that the two protagonists and couples are the people who were secretly photographed, Can you take the place of watching yourself again and again: watch the clips of yourself candidly film yourself repeatedly at home? George and anne were equally perplexed about being photographed secretly. Although their reactions seemed different, they also highlighted the same key: what did I do to deserve this kind of treatment? The story simply cannot develop without the appropriateness (or its own constitutive role) of the protagonist George's childhood experience. Would the horror mechanism of the whole movie still work if this phantom-like experience was not so unclear and refused to be re-reported?
