——The white-haired old woman sat stiffly beside Ben, trembling all over, her limbs morbidly convulsing. Ben said to the DV in front of him: For this kind of old man with heart disease, the best way is to startle and stimulate it, stimulate the disease, and then watch them die without first aid. The spasm of the old man beside Ben became smaller and smaller, his eyes turned white, and he began to lean towards Ben weakly. Ben calmly flattened the old man on the sofa. Then triumphantly swept the "loot" in the house. Ben "harvested" a black man and let the photographer and assistant strip the black man's clothes. The black man was terrified and said that he had already taken out all the money, why should he kill him. Ben's explanation goes like this: Have you ever seen what a black man said? You should take a look. Most of them are large. Many black people are born with huge genitals and have jobs. Make money off your genitals. In Ben's sense, this should be said to be unfair. The result after that was still a shot in the head of the poor black man. In Ben's opinion, as long as it is the "prey" that falls into Ben's hands, they will not be allowed to escape alive. After photographing Ben for a day, I received a lot of goods. Ben seemed very happy and wanted to invite the photographer to eat seafood together. But Yaxing was disturbed by the camera assistant. Ben yells at the assistant: Your mouth smells like shit. Don't get so close to me. We are not going to eat seafood today. So be it. Ben disappears from the camera. Ben leads the photographer and assistant to the home of Ben's concubine, a stray woman, to introduce reporters to the uniqueness of the home's décor. The most conspicuous thing in the room is a large bed. At the height that should be the bedside lamp, an instrument similar to a surgical light is installed. Ben pointed to the instrument, then raised his finger to the mirror above the bed, and proudly told the photographer that here, when you are consuming, you can turn on this sunbathing lamp, and then watch yourself or her ass being tanned from the mirror on the ceiling Healthy wheat color. Isn't that a nice idea? Then he tried to get a photographer to film himself and his concubine having sex. Ben considers it part of his life. Ben dined at his concubine's house, which was supposed to be Christmas. Ben's friend Tian was talking non-stop, touching Ben's bottom line and saying things that shouldn't be said. Ben said nothing, bowed his head to eat. The stupid friend still doesn't know that he has stepped on the dull thunder just now. The swing between the dining table and the chairs is even more intense. The voices of ridicule and insult also grew louder. Ben jerked his gun out. batter. Friends fell in response. A bullet was left on the forehead, and the blood and the brain were mixed together , flowing into the western plate in front of you. Everyone in the room was shocked except Ben. There was still warm blood splattered on Ben's concubine's face and body. Sitting at the table staring blankly. There was only a thick, insoluble silence left. The water in the dam disappeared overnight. That's where Ben used to hide the body. Angered, Ben moved corpses in the half-dried dam, trying to find a way to hide the Bens again. At the same time, he yelled at the photographer: What are you still shooting there, come and help quickly, we will all die when we are found. Ben's aggressiveness like a mad dog eventually angered the local gang, and people came after Ben. And finally started a street battle in a rotten building. Ben couldn't see the location of the person who fired the cold shot, so he could only shoot around randomly. The bullet is still coming. Ben fell to the ground. The photographer who wanted to flee was ultimately unable to escape the fate of being shot. All of this because the director wants to make a movie, a movie about a killer. The process of filming this film was pieced together into a fake documentary "Man Bite Dog" that shocked the film industry in Belgium. Since the day it was released, it has been controversial. Among them, the point that people are most concerned about is does killing have its meaning? Is killing each other one of human instincts or original sins? I believe that everyone who has seen this movie will have their own opinion. Here, I would like to express my opinion on this issue. The so-called "one person can go very far, but a group of people can go very lively". The subtext of this sentence is that the cooperative relationship or each takes what they need, in some cases, they can only walk very close and stop. In "Man Bite Dog", this is well explained. The killer and the photographer each get what they need. The killer wants to get attention and understanding through movies, and even like ordinary people, he has his family to accompany him. And the photographer's request seemed direct and rude, Ben just wanted to make a real movie that shook the past and the present, and made a name for it. Whether in work or in relationships, the desire to get what you want often leads to less than ideal results. And "Man Biting a Dog" goes straight to the depths of the audience's soul through a shocking plot. The occupation of a killer can be called a high-paying and time-disciplined job. But the price it brings is the inability to trust anyone and the loneliness that follows you around. After working for Ben for so long, I don't believe anyone can do it. But lost to loneliness. Ben wants others to appreciate how ruthless and smart he is at work. Then, like the great people in the Ben industry, he has become the envy of the industry. This thought existed all the time, so much so that I finally agreed to take pictures. The cinematographer shoots a movie with the content of "True Killing Teaching". and ultimately to destruction. Of course, the most fundamental question in this film is, what is the meaning of killing? And can unprovoked killings really be supported? Aside from the time before the filming, Ben killed nearly 20 people during the filming of "Shadow in Film" alone. Except for the dead neighbor. Most of the dead were simply because Ben wanted to rob them of their money, or simply to show off the various killing methods Ben had painstakingly researched over the years in front of the camera. Those killed by Ben. Often without any clue, it quietly disappeared. This is very similar to the theme of the movie. Killing and being killed, in many cases, do not need a reason. At least, in Ben's eyes. To Ben, the people on the street are no different from chickens, ducks and geese waiting to be slaughtered in a slaughterhouse. It's just a few "mobile cash machines". Judging in this way is like equating human emotional intelligence with primitive society. In those days, people were still on four legs and had to find food on their own. And in order to get food, killing aliens or the same kind is not an impossible task. Leaving aside the "regression of evolution". This kind of law of the jungle is still developing every day, but the environment has changed, from the open plains of the past to the unpredictable financial platform. The big fish eats the small fish, and the story of the snake swallowing the elephant still happens every day without changing the medicine. It's just that the bystanders are no longer photographers, but countless ordinary people, facing the fierce battle between countless tycoons and tycoons. Even the cinematographer's right to comment and ask questions is gone. We can only exist as cameras with a fixed angle and limited focal length. If you can't see through, you can't tell through. Can't choose, can't choose. As a killer, Ben's hobbies seem to be normal. He goes to his concubine's house to have sex from time to time. This is one of Ben's few entertainments. Therefore, Ben regards sex as a film material that can be shared, just like Ben in the movie. Like unscrupulous shooting in front of the camera. In Ben's opinion, everyday life is boring, and the only interest is with a concubine who can communicate with him when he visits, so that Ben can get rid of loneliness within a few hours. From the point of view of killing as human nature, there seems to be nothing ambiguous about this film. However, there are countless details rippling out of clues that make people reluctant to easily turn off the player after playing. Slowly waiting for the emotions to come up when watching the movie. "Man bites dog" is not a pseudo-documentary first. It's just that the style is bold and unique in the selection of materials. Although it is a black and white lens, it does not affect the The shocking impression that comes from the pavement from time to time. From the photographer's lens, the audience watched the whole process of a killer from steady to arrogant, and then to destruction from a first-person perspective. Just as the best experience is to experience. After watching a movie, few people don't think about it, what exactly is this kind of killing and violence falling from the sky? Is it an undiscovered one in the library of human habits. I think, no matter what the result is, the killing will still be packaged in other forms, and it will be staged day and night in our daily life. As bystanders, we should think more about the source of such unnecessary onlookers and peeps. In the movie, the curiosity of the audience became the reason for the shooting of this "true murder" film. In real life, the impact and consequences of curiosity and snooping are definitely more than just wasted time.
