——by Alfred Hitchcock.
It was a Mayday, and I said goodbye to movies for a month, and the first movie I watched after a high-spirited comeback was The Coen Brothers' Barton .Funk>. After I turned off the lights, I was carrying Xin Xiaoha, who was still alive back then, and I was so mad that I read it and then fell asleep. The first half of the movie is a witty dialogue and narrative, which is an explicit contradiction and a gentle conflict. Because I can't understand the so-called symbolic metaphor, it makes people a little sleepy; however, the second half is unforgettable. The bloody case of the film is activated like a sudden force, the confusing and confusing death, and the surreal life and death add a magical color to the film. I didn't understand it, so I was very impressed. Perhaps at the time, it was just out of the way.
Back to "Blood Labyrinth", their debut. The biggest highlight of the film is indeed the plot with three bullets as the bright line. The director's storytelling method is quite clever, and the audience is severely tricked. There are a lot of doubts and flaws, secretly hilarious, and you don't notice it or you have an illusion. This dark humour was already present when they made their first film. The so-called black humor can be disassembled to explain. Black, the conspiracy in the dark; humor, the uproar in the light. The film is about a serial murder case involving four people, a life-and-death game with no end, no winner or loser.
The prelude to the movie is pretty cool. The confession of an extramarital affair, in the dark blue rainy night, is not at all sloppy, simple and smooth. After that, the pleasure of some clips of the screen is thunderous. The rhythm is really clear. So soon, their affair was reported to the woman's husband by a fat man who was advertised as a private detective. The betrayal between men and women seems unforgivable because of the "Lord Detective"'s dashing and fanning in front of her husband. Taking off the mask of the private detective, the identity of the fat man's professional killer is exposed at a glance? Wrong, I also naturally, like my husband, regard him as a professional killer, but I don't know that the inside is just the second layer of the fat man's mask. However, in fact, there are only two possible actions for him: to kill the "dog man and woman", to fulfill the mission of a professional killer worthy of the name, and to get paid as promised; , blaming any suspicious person other than him. Obviously, the Coen brothers did not take the usual route and chose the latter line of thought. Taking advantage of ordinary people's trust in professional killers, Fatty deceived her husband. As the woman described, the husband was never great in character, and his gullibility led directly to his death. Kind of funny.
died? Then according to Fatty's plan, it is to put the blame on others. Because of the woman's gun he used, no one would suspect a man who ostensibly had nothing to do with jealousy and hatred in an extramarital affair (involving the police is another matter). However, after the fat man thought it was easier to realize his fortune plan, the man accidentally saw the woman's husband die in a bar. At this time, after his husband, he was once again a victim of illusion. He just stayed at the superficial level of reasoning (a bit of Kogoro Maori), and determined that the murderer was his mistress through the weapon and motive. In order to protect her, the idea of destroying the corpse and destroying the traces naturally sprang up. So he started to dispose of the corpse without hesitation. Like many people who don't want to startle the dead after murdering or manslaughtering their relatives, he tried to make the dead disappear without knowing it. He drove into the wild country hills, trying to bury his husband. Just as they were digging a hole, something very dramatic happened. . . I know it was the Coen brothers who couldn't stand the normalization of the plot, and a twist - the "dead" didn't die after all. . He was crawling in the wasteland. . crawl. . Like a wounded creature. . Extremely ashamed. . . .
The next step can only be buried alive, but in this way, the man becomes a murderer. What is even more frightening is that what if the husband is still alive and not dead? The psychological hints brought to him by such suspicions made the psychological suspense in the second half of the film. Early the next morning, he couldn't wait to call the woman to say I love you, in order to gain inner peace. After they met, the conversation was based on unsubstantiated assumptions from beginning to end. The man did not distinguish between the indiscriminate and the cause and the effect; the woman was even more puzzled, confused and confused. Misunderstandings and misunderstandings directly affect their communication and communication.
At this moment, Fatty found that the body was missing, witnessing that both men and women had come to the scene of the crime. And as a non-professional killer himself, it is inevitable that he makes frequent mistakes. First, the murder is not thorough; second, the foundation of the destruction of corpses and traces is not solid. He left the lighter and candid photos at the crime scene. When he found out about his mistake, he thought that the couple already knew it was a homicide, maybe planning revenge. So he decided to cut the weeds and eradicate the roots, and strike first as the strongest.
The film has reached its climax, and no one knows exactly how it will evolve. The point is, men and women take things for granted. . . And there is no assumption that there will be a third person. In their eyes, there is no one but the husband. So men are suspicious and fearful, and both men and women think that their husbands are not dead. The former is because of a guilty conscience, the latter because of ignorance. So in the end, when the fat man shot the man, he couldn't rest his eyes. The woman hasn't woken up yet. She is still simply ignorant that the person who kills the man is the husband. But at least she fought the murderer with determination, and finally she fired the last shot at the fat man. Ironically, she still thought he was her husband. The fat man who was always in the dark said the last sentence: I will tell him. The humour is quite dark and makes people laugh and cry.
The movie should be said to be very good-looking. I like the music in it very much. It is really humorous. In some bloody scenes, the music is very light and soft. Plus moving photography, jumpy editing, and a little computer stunt make the story beautiful. These main points of action are in the heartbeat. . At the same time, it caused a lot of cold sweat.
