One big director and four powerful stars make up this movie. The film is about a negotiation between two families. There is no blood in the film (people who come for the title will be disappointed), and some are just fierce exchanges of words. There are four characters in total, and four stars form two middle-class families. After school, an 11-year-old child in one family knocked out the teeth of another child of the same age with a stick. The two families negotiated to solve the problem. The film negotiation content of less than 80 minutes accounted for more than 70 minutes. In these 70 minutes, we saw the collective drama of the four leading actors. As the middle class, they also have identities. At first, both families wanted to be civilized through words. It was solved, but unfortunately the father who harmed the child always answered the work call during the negotiation, and did not pay enough attention to it, which triggered a series of conflicts (no physical conflict) later. What makes the film deeper is that the conflicts in the film are not just two. Conflicts between families, as well as conflicts between husbands and wives in their respective families (contradictions erupted), the conflicts are mixed with foul language, swearing, complaining and attacking each other, without regard for decency, and completely uncivilized. A small incident that is well resolved. The two families treated each other with courtesy to tearing up their faces and finally broke up. No one was happy. The irony is that the last two children naturally reconciled and played together again. This is the difference between the way adults and children think about problems.
The director used two long-range long shots in the opening credits and ending credits to express the conflict and reconciliation of the two children respectively. This is a very NB point, so Polanski is worthy of being a master, no matter whether he has molested girls or not.
