The perfect fusion of unique techniques and plots in some movies is also natural. The many dialogues between the male and female protagonists have made some explanations and foreshadows for the following plot. For example, the director used the actor's mouth to tell his dark childhood, and that the actor has a certain degree of claustrophobia. In another shot, the director arranges the protagonist to bring high-tech eyes to sell the report, so as to achieve a black and white first-person perspective, which makes the movie shot more impactful and arouses the audience's sense of substitution.
Putting aside the film technique and talking about the core of the film is one: human nature.
Before watching the movie, I had some mental preparation through the movie title, but after watching it, it greatly exceeded my expectations. Yes, the film is too heavy and the director wants to express the truth of human nature that makes me gasp for breath.
The director believes that human nature is inherently evil. Again, this seems to be a controversial topic that has remained unchanged since Meng and Xun until now. Is there an answer? It seems that this is a question that will never be answered. But I have seen through movies that human nature is often induced by different environments and its own position to induce different expressions, and the general principles of human nature are not the same, and also vary from person to person.
The leader of the prison guard in the film (forgive me, I forgot the name Shenma) seems to be a typical example of this. He is in a position where his power is infinitely magnified, so he also awakens the sins of human nature. But the fat prison guard is also the embodiment of the goodness of human nature in the film. Of course, this is also determined by his natural character. One scene is that the head of the prison guard shakes his hands constantly at the beginning, expressing a microcosm of his evil nature. Of course, without the director giving him more description, I can't know whether this is his natural character or acquired. related to growth experience.
As for the other prison guards, most of them just came for the 4,000 yuan. (Of course, this is not the RMB but the mark) But when they continue to exercise their huge power, they shake their ethics in society and break free from the shackles of morality they have accepted since childhood. They also began to slowly reveal their true nature, beating prisoners and attempting to rape the female doctor. If the fat prison guard and the leader of the prison guards are special cases in human nature, then these prison guards are the main body of human nature, because they are the majority of ordinary people.
Of course, most prison guards are the key to expressing the human nature expressed by the director. Human reason is fragile, and reason seems to be only the product of people's acquired cultivation, while sensibility is deeply rooted in human beings. Otherwise, when the situation is completely out of control, they do not implement their rationality, but their inner sensibility becomes the driving force of their behavior.
Why didn't I mention our hero and the pilot when I said human nature is good? Because their human goodness is inspired by his position and status. They sympathize with the same vulnerable groups as them, and sympathizing with them is also sympathizing with themselves. So this kind of good is not the pure good of human nature.
A very interesting scene is: at the end, when the prison guard BOOS stabbed our heroic male pig's foot with a knife, he finally let go of the handle cowardly. The first is that he has been devoured by his sensibility until finally his fragile rationality is restored. Secondly, what the director wants to say is that the ultimate evil big boos in this movie is just an ordinary person who can no longer be ordinary, and it is only in extreme circumstances that the other self is highlighted.
Of course, human nature in reality is not as simple as it is in movies, nor can it be explained by simple words of good and evil. Even in a movie with a perfect director, it is impossible to express human nature perfectly.
If you want to discover human nature, then open your eyes and look at your own life.
