Therefore, the killing really surprised me. First of all, the ultra-short space of 78 minutes plus the opening and ending credits is rare and limits its sales. In other words, Polanski did not regard Killing as a movie that needs to be shared with others. More like a self-examination on a small scale, Judy Foster, Kate Winslet, Christopher Waltz, John C. Reilly, and of course Polanski himself, these names are too loud to be taken from the filming By the time the film is finished, there is a sense of superiority that is high and widow. This must not be the original intention of the dragon and the phoenix among this small group of people, but there is a world of class thinking, no matter what, they have to think like this, after all, their names represent too much.
It has to be said that Polanski has truly achieved the microcosm, seeing the big from the small, and the reason for the story is quite simple: two young boys fight, one of them smashes the other with a stick and knocks out the other's front teeth. But the follow-up development is quite absurd: the two parents met in the home of the boy who was beaten to discuss solutions, and even made senseless drafting of the so-called incident briefing, and greeted politely. Talking to people on the phone about the case of a drug company’s antihypertensive drugs causing adverse reactions to people and being prosecuted, talking, answering the phone, embarrassing, going away, being pulled back by fake politeness, coffee, fruit tart, talking, answering the phone, embarrassing, this At that time, the climax came, and Winslet suddenly vomited. (Amazing, amazing, Winslet dedicated her most unbearable performance to killing, I can’t help but laugh.) The most terrible thing is that she vomits the most precious in Foster On the out-of-print collection of paintings, Foster collapsed completely, the aisle began to sway a bit, and his words began to rush a bit, and then he had to go again, broke out in the corridor, attracted neighbors, and was pulled back to the room. At this time, The father of the victim, who had been polite, finally abandoned his disguise and yelled at him. The reason was simply because the mother of the beater was chasing after him for throwing away the hamster. In the end, he used alcohol to solve everything absurdly, even though he was so drunk, he was still speechless. The atmosphere was strange and harmonious. What's even more ironic is that the two little brothers who were the parties did not take it seriously. The next day they reconciled as usual, except for the front teeth.
This movie feels very special to me. The computer screen suddenly becomes a transparent window. The movement of the room at a glance makes me feel as if I am a voyeur with excessive voyeurism, because this can be attributed to the shortcomings of the parents of ordinary people. , It can happen in any corner of the world, but this kind of trivial thing that may happen to you and me is most easily overlooked. In the end, I understand that the enthusiastic me is actually like playing back myself. Life is strange and real. There are only five scene changes in the whole story. Parks, living rooms, corridors, kitchens, washrooms are easier than melodramas. The auras of the four people are so interesting that people can completely ignore the simplification of the scene. The actor status of the four people is cancelled. Some only worrying parents. I will find these four to play, which proves that acting is a sublimation movie. It must be Polanski's choice to rack his brains. It turns out that his cleverness has been rewarded again. This movie is really worth it. Try it out frame by frame.
