When it comes to director Haneke, everyone always thinks of his "Fun Games". When the American version of the re-engraving was born, it can be said that everyone was startled. Haneke said, "In the past 10 years, everything has been business as usual, because I can't think of anything to add or change." And we are talking about this movie today because we want to talk about his soundtrack. I believe that everyone has a deep impression on the first 3 minutes of noise and screams about 1 minute and 20 seconds long, because this "Ghost Crying and Wolf Howling" is very different from the music we usually listen to, and it was The relaxed and playful atmosphere of listening to classical guessing composers in the car is very conflicting. However, it is also very intentional for Hardy to use this very dissonant piece of music as the original sound in the title sequence.
Having said so much, I haven't introduced the name, author and style of the music to you. This piece of music comes from a single bonehead from Naked City's album "Torture Garden". Naked Metropolis was a progressive rock/free jazz supergroup in New York in the late 80's and early 90's, an all-star lineup of New York jazz/experimental musicians, with the most famous downtown musician John Zorn. Zorn) leadership.
John Zorn's music is rich and varied, and has been marked as a postmodernist in modern American music. He has made many contributions to the development of jazz, especially avant-garde jazz, that is, the fusion of jazz with other musical forms, and has repeatedly adapted the film music of tragic epics into noise jazz. Naked City is also a very successful pioneering jazz project by John Zorn, whose experimentation is reflected in the combination of jazz with grindcore, which is a very fast, aggressive piece of music that often doesn't last longer than 1 minute, in the distant 1990s they managed to blur the boundaries of style and were great forward artists. When I introduced it, everyone must have discovered that the bizarre names such as "Nude City" and "Garden of Abuse" are very suitable for fun games, and they have already echoed the content. Aggressive and disturbing Grindcore is actually a lot like the two young men who take pleasure in abuse, and the elegant and gentle Jazz is like the family that was killed. When Grindcore and Jazz collide, of course it is overwhelming. sexual bullying. It's just that the music will not be buried, and you can still hear it if you listen carefully, but the family in the power supply has lost everything. In addition to being a jazz grinder in terms of experimentation, "Torture Garden" also has a very important feature that is atonal. The so-called tonality refers to the chords and trends that have been arranged in harmony with the human ear. And atonality is to break the already arranged convention, so it will sound out of harmony, but this is a kind of exploration and progress in the field of experimental music. If we substitute this musical atonality into the film, we will find that the two young people are also "atonal". They break the rules and play cards out of the way. They are pure evils who take pleasure in the pain of others. These are some kind of coincidences between the movie and the soundtrack. In fact, the fate of the family has already been settled in the music in the title. Regarding this controversial film, Haneke once said: If the fun game is popular, it is that the audience misunderstood him, and he just wants to restore the nature of violence: violence that happens to others is also a kind of pain. There is a saying that "it is necessary to distinguish between artistic creation and reality". This is the case with movies, and so is extreme music. They can be your vent, a wake-up call for you to take precautions, or a way to satisfy your curiosity. But he is by no means your textbook, which is one reason why there is a grading system. I hope that fun games will only exist in Director Hardy's movies forever. See you next time.
