I have to admit that "Four Lions" has a new idea in the shooting perspective, abandoning the bloody and violent image of terrorists in people's previous thinking, with five ignorant and ignorant civilians as the protagonists, staged a washout. Cups in the utensils. The film is mainly based on comedy. The performances of several people and the advancement of the story are all based on funny, and they try to please the audience through the dialogue that is like a donkey's mouth and a horse's mouth, and the performance of the young and mentally retarded. As everyone knows, it is this This deliberate comedy that challenges the audience's endurance and IQ is the biggest failure of the film.
Obviously, the ambition of the film is far more than making the audience laugh. It also attempts to trigger thinking on issues such as jihad and value. At the end of the story, the tragic ending of several people is used as a bargaining chip for criticism and questions to win the audience's recognition and appreciation. resonance. The film deliberately downplays the conflict between individuals and reality, so that they do not have any reason to participate in "terror", they are just fighting for jihad, without deep thinking, not even for the recognition and praise of others, but in reality every Behind the terrorist attacks, most of them have unknown tragic inside stories. This film blindly obliterates real environmental factors, magnifies the ignorance and ignorance of human nature, and expresses tragedy for the sake of tragedy. Except for arousing the audience's instinctive compassion, it is difficult to have a deeper understanding.
All the characters in the film, from police officers to ordinary civilians, none of them are "sound", they are all in a state of blind obedience and ignorance. This kind of black humor that is totally denied may be the director's alternative way of expression, but it has a negative impact on the film itself. Visibility has a fatal blow. Only when the names of Omar and bin Laden appear in the film will make people smile and smile. Most of the scenes with no humanistic highlights and mentally retarded humor can only make people drowsy. . The title and poster of this film are very interesting. Some people who seem to be strong lions are just the crow's stupid virtue, and the real horror has nothing to do with them. It is not denied that there are many ignorant and mentally handicapped radicals among terrorists, but many real-life examples show that terrorist attacks with huge lethality are often carefully planned, and definitely not a few lame clowns can only rely on subconscious impulses. did it.
This kind of unconscious blind obedience in the film is pathetic. If there are reasons (national hatred and family hatred), dreams (protecting rights and interests), and ability (don't be mentally retarded like in the film), why not do it? I respect those who dare to challenge the centralization of power, but the premise is not to hurt the innocent. Of course, for "terrorists", this is equivalent to the monk preaching good sermons to demons, and it is completely unworkable. Therefore, a war that does not move a knife or a gun without gunpowder is the most powerful, and this is one of the reasons why Assange has received more and more support from people. I hope that there will be a director who dares to eat crabs and shoot Assange. This buddy should be more interesting than these guys in the film, and the value of the data can be more profound.
