Funny games aren't funny

I finally watched the original German version of michael haneke's funny games (1997). After 15 minutes of watching it, I wanted to leave the theater. It was so disturbing and disturbing. When my family saw a few scenes of their family being tortured, I even wanted to beat people. The urge to throw something on the screen turned out to be under the director's careful layout, and I unknowingly became one of the witnesses present or one of the victims' family members, I could only sit and watch for two hours, watching I was humiliated and tortured to death, but I couldn't do anything. After dying to the last minute, I ended up having nightmares in a half-asleep state all night, being followed by two men in white. I played games, tortured me all night for 8 hours , the

director told you that violence is not a hail of bullets, blood and blood, those scenes that make you numb, but to say things you don't want to say, things you don't want to do , Overwhelming another person with the power at the moment, with violence and violence, you have no choice. Sometimes, without looking, just hearing a hard moan and shouting is enough to make you feel the pain, even if you don't need to rape, but just tell you Undressing in front of people has already felt the humiliation.

The superb performances of the actors make the film more real and convincing. The helpless eyes of ulrich muhe, the collapsed look of susanne lothar, and the cold-blooded appearance of arno frisch make you not I don't fully believe that the movie is real.

Also, my friends and I think the movie is very stanley kubrick's ghost, clockwork orange keeps forcing you to watch, white man with golf stick, "The Shining" Like a kid running away.

But the film also reminds me of the German movie Edukators, where ordinary people want revenge against the middle class. Imprisoning and abusing this family is not because of what you did, but because you are a rich family on vacation here, and "Borrowing eggs" may just be an excuse, maybe they will let them go, or maybe even if they do, the result will be the same, no matter what, you will all die, but it's just watching one suffer and die. I can't help but think of it. Will I encounter these things in reality during my travels?

The director never thought about giving you a minute to breathe, and the details from the beginning to the end were very careful. Even after the two men in white left, the director handled it very carefully. Try to give the audience a little hope, and then you will be completely disappointed, but in the end, the man in white finds the woman who escaped, captures her and continues to torture her, and then brings back the scene where the woman snatch and kill one of the men in white, and finally the boat The knife can't save her, don't even think about it, do you think you can fight the bad guys and then the big group ends?

The psychological pressure and sense of unease this movie brought me completely surpassed all the movies I have ever watched. After watching the movie for the first time Feeling "very perverted and hard". Waking up this morning, I feel like I need counseling.
