Dear Wendy, kill me

I just finished watching this movie, but I actually saw it by accident when I was wandering around on the Internet. I didn't know anything about this movie before. However, the writing of Lars von Trier and the director of Thomas Wendberg made it impossible for me to refuse. These two main initiators of the DOGMA95 movement gave a kind of almost crazy to Hollywood-style movies. Subversion, so a large number of DOGMA95 supporters have emerged around the world, and DOGMA95 has even become synonymous with art film to some extent. However, with the passage of time, DOGMA95, which was originally designed to dismantle Hollywood dogma, has become a new "dogma" on another level, so the promoters of DOGMA95 gradually abandoned the rules they had set by themselves. Articles, at least in terms of the film's expression techniques and storyline, are slowly "influxing" again. how to say? This is similar to "detachment", which can be regarded as "hidden in the city". It is undoubtedly more lethal to integrate one's own artistic concept into a more popular body.

Lars von Trier says it's his most "commercial" film to date, well, on the surface, it's true, solid graphics, smooth editing, tight plot, plus lots of gunfights , people who don't know Lars von Trier, don't know Thomas Windberg, don't know DOGMA95 can easily walk into the film's situation, they seem suddenly so "people-friendly", they start to pay attention to the audience's Emotions, began to try to capture the hearts of the audience with the images, and it turned out that they were successful, the film was hardly lethargic, and it was gripping from beginning to end.

"Dear Wendy", what a "sweet and soft" name, when I told my friends on the Internet about the title of the film, they even scoffed, because they all thought I was watching some kind of love movie. But if you know its other Chinese translation, you will definitely not think so: "Sex Pistol Club" - of course, this movie is definitely related to "pistol", but it doesn't seem to have much to do with "sex", take this Maybe the Chinese name is just for some gimmicks.

Actually, Wendy is not a person, but a pistol. In this movie, pistols are no longer simply cold weapons, they have become "warm lovers", amulet of youth overflowing, angels, gods... Moreover, those who hold Young people with pistols are all "pacifists", and it sounds like a brain teaser.

I have always liked this type of brutal youth movies, especially in the large-scale shootout at the end of the film, there is a sense of absurdity and strangeness, with children who "refuse to grow up" on the one hand, and absolute possessions on the other. The adult world of power, and the war between them is more like a meaningful metaphor, not about the law, nor about the morals.

I still feel very excited after taking a shower after watching the movie. I haven’t felt this kind of excitement for a long time, but it’s really late, I have to rest, I have time to write more, if you have the opportunity, you can also go and see .

Dear Wendy quotes

  • [Huey has just shot Marshall Walker in the head]

    Huey: Officer d-d-down, I'm afraid!

  • Dick Dandelion: The Regulations are, that the most important thing for a Dandy is never to show off his partner, whatever the provocation. We carry them as moral supports. And that's the most important thing. They may be carried, but never brandished. That would be the worst thing of all.

    [contiunes as voice-over narrative]

    Dick Dandelion: Not one of us were in doubt about the most important thing of all. The reason why our partners could only be fired in the darkness of the old mine and could never be exposed to full light and thereby be woken up. Because once awoken nothing could stop them from following their true nature and killing. And it was so forbidden to say that word, that we called it "loving" instead. And "loving" could never ever happen because that would be the end of it all.
