how evil is evil

This dull and depressing film tramples on the indifference of human nature, and its spiritual core is the same as that of "salo". But unlike salo, it does not have the symbolic meaning of totalitarian politics, and its expression style also lacks the classical seriousness and sophistication. It should be said that it is similar to "House of Thousand Corpses", the difference is that "House of Thousand Corpses" passionately praises the Flower of Evil, and at the same time there is an angry cry of rock music, which is quite cynical among those passionate rock youths. Here are two delicate and melancholy young people, wearing white clothes, looking at the world calmly, and indifferently experiencing the thrill of the game brought by violence. But in any case, the theme of several films is generally the same, that is, "evil" or "sin", perhaps it is more appropriate to use the English "sin" to express, there is no suitable way to express it in the East.

This film is still very different from traditional Hollywood horror films. The most obvious is to downplay the visual stimulation, and let the audience experience the obvious sins through details. For example, in the death of a child, there is no blood gushing out after being shot, only the blood dripping on the TV; in the death of a husband, there is only a voice-over; in the death of a wife, simply push him into the water and there is no further footage. If these shots are slightly rendered, or displayed directly, or some soundtrack is added, the visual stimulation should be more deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, and the movie can make the audience feel more pleasure in discomfort. And the author didn't do that, everything happened flatly, just like everything happened naturally. Some people may complain that he doesn't schedule scenes, but this is actually a misunderstanding. Here, he shows the real evil, which is the evil mixed with indifference, like the coolness of the famous Doctor Hannibal's heartbeat that does not exceed 70 when he kills. If the author deliberately renders these shots, of course, a better performance can be obtained temporarily, but it is detrimental to the overall expression of the film. Once you pay attention to the "evil", whether it is a display of disgust or deliberate admiration, it will weaken the power of the "evil" indifference. Looking at it this way, the film is more acceptable. Of course, there are still differences between people, and it is not recommended to rashly try.

Of course, there are other reasons for not recommending. This film is really dull, with very little soundtrack, very few special effects shots, and few plot ups and downs - in fact, some shots can also be tasted, but they are often criticized. Ignoring things like the rolling of a golf ball, the headlights of cars driving in the distance at night, etc., is really refreshing. Not to mention the funniest rewind and fast-forward shots and the sultry shots that make people feel both voyeuristic pleasure and guilt in contradictions.

In the film, there is a chat between two perverts in white clothes. I couldn't figure out the specific details because they were naked, but I heard that it was about a certain childhood experience. From here, you can see the difference between it and most of the vulgar Hollywood horror movies that pass the time. The great Freud will definitely laugh when he sees this part. It can be seen that culture is still very important.

At the end, I started to borrow eggs again, which is really bloody. It is a pity that this film is not guaranteed in the evening, and it ends with this indiscriminate means.
