hidden in the dark

The terrible thing about Haneke is that he can always see the source of the dark side of human nature. In "Hidden Camera", Haneke just used "being watched" to smash almost four families. In the movie, the hero and heroine lied to each other because of the videotape. The hero's suspicion made the childhood "enemy" commit suicide in front of him, while the wife secretly cheated on her husband. Deceitful and weak relationship... In fact, the video tape sent by the mysterious man to the hero and heroine is not really worth panicking, it is just a hint that the general is reminding others to remember something. There is a saying that goes well: everyone has a dark side. This "hidden side", once threatened with exposure, can lead to dark behavior. At the end of the film, Haneke is said to have cut out the soundtrack that would have included dialogue. This causes me not to say, many people will not find that there are two children talking in the lower left corner of the last long shot of the movie - the son of the hero and the son of the hero's childhood "enemy". What the two young men were talking about together as the audience has no way of knowing, but what is certain is that the story sparked by the tapes doesn't end there. At best, this ending implies that all grievances are resolved in the next generation. The reason is that the son of the last "enemy" showed rare calmness and calmness in the face of the male lead's viciousness and indifference. But it is more realistic to think about the ending. It is very likely that this little African-American boy got together with the male protagonist's son, Gaoji, and then they planned a conspiracy to break up the families of both parties, so that the two could take the opportunity to get rid of the family bondage and come together. ...of course I'm joking, the meeting between the African-American boy and the male protagonist's son must bring a corresponding dark ending as well as a bright ending. No matter what people do, they can't hide themselves. Even if they are as sincere as an African-American boy, they must be just good at patience.

    cruel. I always thought that "Pleasant Heart" was just a cruel special case of Haneko, but I saw it here again. I can only say that all the relationships are correct, the details are sufficient, and the emotions are all there

    The truth of the candid shooter is hidden, or the camera directly plays the role of the candid shooter. The penultimate shot recreates the sins of childhood from the same perspective again, shuddering.

    Georges's Mom: Why? Are you less lonely because you can sit in the garden? Do you feel less lonely in the metro than at home? Well then! Anyway, I have my family friend... with remote control. Whenever they annoy me, I just shut them up.
