Actors on the stage have rules to abide by and walk the way they want to go. The audience is watching live performances. Success or failure is instantaneous, but if the movie is not done well, you can start over again. Movies can be changed at any time during the shooting. The theater is raw, and the film emphasizes the flow and the plane, so the expression must be taken into account. The stage version of "Manic Mom and Dad" was performed in Hong Kong under the title "The Bean Sludge War", and the play has also been staged in other countries and places. To be honest, it is not easy to put the stage work into the movie, let alone the scene has only stayed in one house, and then completed the movie for about 80 minutes. Therefore, the requirements on the actors are very high, and the four protagonists are all battle-hardened characters who must not only deliver their inner drama, but also create "surprise", so that the film will not be boring but also educational. not easy.
The two heroines, Qi Winsnie and Judy Coster, are both actors who have grown up from childhood to adulthood. They are very familiar with them. Highlights. However, what the film really wants to express is the environment we put ourselves in, the hypocrisy of human beings and the "hypocrisy" of speaking, putting aside social norms, the so-called "civilized people" are actually the same as barbarians. All people are like things, and people are differentiated. All along, we have accepted the etiquette of society and learned what to do and what not to do. So some people bully some people in order to challenge some kind of authority, and then gang up to boycott some people. That's what happens in the movie "The Non-Existent Child," where two kids fight, one is seriously injured, and parents are divided over how to discipline their son.
And this disaster started from the children and extended to the parents who have sensitive nerves in their hearts, chatting about their personal affairs, and expanded from the children to the war and peace between men and women, like reincarnation, a nightmare . In every relationship, everyone will have distrust of each other. The decline of many marriages is that they leave each other idle and neglect each other. In many cases, people accuse others of not doing well enough when they believe that they have a certain standard, so they believe that they are the "standard". Although Polanski is old, he is still critical of things. From his experience, don't we see that "life is a mess?" He was accused of being a rapist, and was later released. We see his values in the old man, just like watching the movie of Allen the Living. Usually, it is the most practical thing for the old man to warn him.
The problem of men and women is that it is difficult to understand the problem of being poor in life. After all, the physiological structure of men and women is different. Men have their own set of values they pursue. They think that raising a wife and children, having a perfect job, fame and fortune Enough, family matters can be ignored too much. So the responsibility is handed over to the women in the family, but women also have things they are infatuated with. Women think that they have too many burdens, and they have to take care of the family, and they are busy talking to her, and they have to complain that their husbands are no longer the same as before. treat yourself. Therefore, there are female archetypes of Nancy and Penelope in the play. One is a resentful woman, and the other is full of self-confidence and elegance.
As for men, they can't stay out of it. A man doesn't care about family affairs, only cares about business, and his mobile phone rings all day long. Professionals, farts. In fact, it's just a slave of God whoever has money. Allen knows that drugs have side effects that affect the health of patients, and he has to endure the truth. And Mike is a "wife slave" on the surface, but he can't stand the tyranny of women behind his back. Finally, the dissatisfaction between the man and the woman against everyone erupted, and the discussion that was originally rational and etiquette evolved into a discussion that was fruitless. Not to mention the children's affairs, so when it comes to the "absolute" of the film, it is the director's ability to make it right. Even if the set is similar to the theater, the director also makes good use of other spaces in the room. "Absolutely" is heartless, desperate, and wonderful, pushing the characters into the abyss and collapse.
In about 80 minutes, I completely enjoyed the excellent acting skills of the actors. We saw the ugliness between people. When we tore off our skins, in fact, we are all equally selfish. The commonality of people is selfishness. Self-interest and self-centeredness are like a demon, and character also determines destiny, but we must accept it if we want to survive. Watching this movie is like looking in a mirror and drinking it.
