Giuseppe Tonadore's films have left me with extremely good memories. In his films, they are full of warmth and have a moving power. Even the color of the film is a warm orange. Like the Mediterranean sun. Movies like "Paradise Cinema," "The Pianist at Sea," and "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily." Not long ago, I watched his latest film "Baaria". Although the warm tones of the Sicilian sunshine are still there, the desolation of life has been revealed. Today I watched "The Hidden", which was filmed before "Baaria". In this film, Giuseppe Tonadore's signature color flashes back only in dreams, and the rest is dark Colors, and terrifying darkness.
This is a completely different story from the Tonadore movie, nor does it take place in beautiful Sicily, and the protagonist of the story is not an Italian. The story does not have the historical sense of Tonadore's films, but has many modern elements, as well as suspense and bloody colors. The protagonist of the film, Irina, comes from the depths of darkness and has a terrible past. Her past dominates her present life, and it also creates her heart of darkness. Her deliberation, her calmness, her ruthlessness, and her unscrupulousness really make people shudder. Think about having such a friend by your side, and having such a nanny in your home, that chill will slowly rise from the bottom of your heart.
Elena just wants to find her child. As a mother, such behavior is understandable, but the method is too cruel. The dark past has distorted her mind, and she has experienced too much blood, making her actions bloody. Her past is worthy of sympathy. She has given birth to nine children in ten years, and she does not know where these children belong. The other eight children, whom she had no intention of tracking, were all from her body, but they were sold like commodities. As for the last child, she was like a fascination, desperate to find out her whereabouts. What should have been a warm and sad story about finding a child turned out to be such a bloody and bloody slaughter. Victims of violence eventually become the perpetrators of violence, immersed in violence, and violence will only become the only choice.
There is a dark part in everyone's heart. In normal circumstances, it will suppress the darkness and make human nature shine. But in a distorted environment, in a society full of violence, the dark side of the soul will spread infinitely, making human nature full of evil. We can also see the unfathomable nature of the human heart from the simple process of finding her child. Others are hell. In an abnormal society, it should be the truth, although the brilliance of humanity will still be flashing, after all, it is too weak. Fortunately, the Italy where Irina lives is still a normal society, and such a society tolerates her, so the film still has a bright ending, and she can feel the warmth of human nature again. She sows hatred, but reaps warmth. Maybe her dark heart will become brighter from now on?
