A challenge to audience tastes

The movie I watched in Canada, aside from the content, was so persistent that I couldn't help but blush a few days later when I was cooking and washing dishes. When
I watched the trailer, I I mistakenly thought that the freak was the product of human pregnancy and radiation, which prompted some very baroque associations, which made me resolutely buy a ticket to watch it. To prepare for an absurd and bad movie. Past experience tells me that movies that will use freaks and "the most outstanding movie of the year" as gimmicks are mostly suspected of being so anticlimactic, and they are very likely to fall. An unfinished movie with a ridiculous subject matter that has nowhere to go. But honestly, the first hour of the movie made me almost believe that my previous guesses wouldn't come to this one. In the first hour, from Elsa With Clive from the beginning of cultivating the unknown creature, to Dren's successful breeding, to the farm where Dren is hidden, the well-organized description and the tight rhythm have made me believe that it will all point to a grand conspiracy (or Speaking of disaster). Especially the scene where Dren was eating rabbits in the woods made me even more heart-pounding waiting for this uncontrollable disaster to come. Until Dren and Clive started spinning and dancing there, a series of uncontrollable "What the..." hit the audience like a cannonball.
From the speed of the movie, the last half hour is a bit rushed. If the first hour is a tight introduction, the second half hour is like a condensed explosion. Dren began to rebel, Dren began to put on makeup, and the next In a second, Dren was riding on Clive. The controversial human-beast passion scene literally terrified everyone in the room, and I, who thought I had a strong taste, were in the middle of their unparalleled real thrusts. I couldn't help but turn my head to the side, and because of this, I saw the round eyes of other Canadian audiences. In retrospect, the question that has been circling in my mind is, has the scale of public release films reached this point? ?After that scene, it was a continuous burst of gunfire, Dren was dead, Dren was alive, Dren was transgender, and Dren raped Elsa (and to say that "inside you" that was fake and deep but really terrifying. ), Clive died, Dren died, and finally, Elsa was pregnant, looking out of the window if meaningful...everything, as I first guessed, galloping toward a point of no return .I
would like to believe that the director certainly not only wants to express incest, the creation and fate of species is already a very serious topic, even if he does not say it, the audience can have a series of high-level reverie. The director chose to use bold content plots It is expressed with the picture, but it has the opposite effect. The picture and the plot completely overcome the connotation, and have the opposite effect. It means that the content chosen to focus lowers the connotation of the film. The film first arranges the cultivation of The first kind of creatures finally killed each other and made a mess. It has first expressed the theme that human beings are not gods and cannot change the world wishful thinking. However, the appearance of Dren later just repeated the above theme again, without sublimation, only Suffice to say, the coherent underscores that human conceit can ultimately lead to a mess. Did arranging Dren's gender reversal, and the two scientists' sexually swirling rounds, make the theme clear? The combination of Clive and Dren, Under the suggestion of the atmosphere at that time, it was not a kind of self-feeding bitter fruit of a scientist at all, but more like a revelation of human animal nature. A causal cycle established by lust, in my opinion, has lowered the artistic conception of the theme too much. .
Splice means splicing. The Chinese translation of human and animal hybrids seems very vulgar, but I think the basic content of the film has been accurately conveyed. What this film finally brings us is only an ethical shock, but no spiritual reflection. .
