no fun games

Michael Haneke, if I could see him in person, I really want to kill him. How could he do this? The film makes people extremely depressed and even angry. Watching this film is an extreme experience. I have always known Haneke's movies to play cards according to common sense. If it wasn't for the goddess Naomi Watts, I would not have dared to watch his movies. This time it really hurt me. This kind of shooting method is extremely rare, showing violence through non-violent shots, and even the actors communicate with the audience and finally play the audience. So Haneke's films don't have the bloody and disgusting scenes, but they achieve a shocking effect. It would be weird if his films didn't make a splash every time they were released. In the end, I finally understood what the director was trying to express. In fact, the audience or the media are the real producers of violence. A movie is usually fictional, and if you don’t watch it, the violence in it will not happen. There is a scene in the film. After the child was killed, the heroine did not go to see the child for the first time, but turned off the TV. In fact, the director was telling the audience to turn off the TV and stop watching it. Obviously I didn't get it, and I can only blame myself for the injury in the end. This movie is so boring!
