A middle-class couple is driving on a vacation. On the country road, the husband frequently guides his wife's driving. It seems that the estrangement between the sweet middle-class couple has been At the beginning, a young homeless man takes the risk of blocking a car, and the story begins. Perhaps without this melancholy and sensitive boy, their lives are still as selfish and indifferent, continuing the old and boring way of bourgeois entertainment.
The husband and wife sailed with their own sailboats. The husband probably thought that the destitute young man could help, or maybe he pulled the young man who was about to leave back on the boat in order to show his experience and wealth. The conflict started among them and developed until it broke out.
Middle-aged men are conceited, consider themselves captains, have rich experience, and are emotionally indifferent, so they use their own advantages to educate "young people". Because of family status, middle-aged men also call their wives. Even though there is occasional happiness, the inequality of status can be clearly seen. This kind of middle-class family is not only common in the West, but also very typical in China. The young people are not deeply involved in the world, and they are full of the unknown world. Curiosity, not only the yearning for the life of middle-aged men, but also the self-esteem from nature and the rich emotions that have not been violated by the society. Perhaps it is this simplicity and melancholy sensitivity that finally touched the heart of the young woman. The youth impromptu recitation At the time of the verse, the middle-aged man just listened to sports news with earplugs on, while the young woman smiled and enjoyed the artistic conception. And this young man is also arrogant and conceited, which makes people see that although the difference between middle-aged and young people is obvious, it spans all ages. But it seems to be inevitable.
The final war finally broke out. The middle-aged man threw away the young man's beloved knife and pushed him off the boat; the young woman angrily condemned him, and joined the middle-aged man to rescue him. In fact, he told a big lie that he couldn't swim, and finally he returned to the boat while her husband was swimming away, casually provocative words until making love, the young woman accepted the young man, but gave up the young man and let him go. In this way, neither young nor middle-aged men seem to have won the war, the only winners are women.
The ending of the film once again tested the morality of the middle class. The middle-aged man did not know that the young man did not drown, but the young woman used this to test whether he should go to the police station and call the police. Retreat.
Water Knife is the first feature film directed by Roman Polanski. Although it is different from the later style, it still reveals the dark side of human nature to a large extent, and can make such an ordinary story so tense and exciting , I just want to use two words to describe: "Master".
