At first, I felt that the style of painting had changed. In the middle of a forest, a deep lake is surprisingly quiet. I nervously prepared myself, lest I be caught off guard by the sudden appearance of a bloody corpse or a ghastly face. The water is so calm, the reflection is clear, and there is no movement for a long time. The lake at the beginning of the film reminds me of a lake described in "Greed" by the writer Alfred Jelinek. The lake is deep and dark, as if it has absorbed sunlight and life. The elephant never rippled, it was a lake that could drown. The writer also happens to be Austrian. Suddenly, something was thrown into the water, the ripples smashed the reflection, the water ripples swayed, and after a while, the scattered tree shadows were gradually lined up again. What the hell is this!
After watching for a while, I gradually clarified the story of the film: Male: Alex, a handyman in a brothel; Female: Talma, a prostitute. The two are lovers, but they dare not let the boss know. So the two desperately planned to escape and robbed a bank. The robbery was quite successful, but he was questioned by the police because of the illegal parking of the car. It really capsized in the gutter! Police shot and killed Talma while fleeing. When a loved one dies, Alex can only temporarily flee to the country, stay with his grandfather who has been living alone, and wait for an opportunity to seek revenge from the police. In the countryside work such as feeding cows and chopping firewood day after day, Alex could only cry secretly at his girlfriend's photo without anyone telling him. He figured out the route that the police run every day, and tried to aim with the pistol in the perfect position, only to hook his finger lightly.
There is very little dialogue in this film, Alex is like a stuffy gourd, (and the actor's bald look is really not handsome, this is a face-seeing world, isn't it?!) That depressive energy can penetrate the screen, I can't see it. down.
He sawed wood in the farmhouse day in and day out, and the harsh sound of the chainsaw probably quelled his anger for a while: how could the murderer live the same life as before! And his life was ruined! ! When he swung the axe and slashed at the log, he clearly used all his strength, as if it was a rehearsal of revenge, but his grandfather praised him: No matter what era, men who can work are always the most pleasing to women. Sure enough, the police wife, who has been childless, came to him (500 words are omitted here).
In short, through the wet morning fog in the countryside, through the forest in the dark night, through the warm yellow curtain of the back door of the woman's house, through the In the calm and peaceful days of the day, Alex's face is no longer so unsightly. The liquor was mellow in the wine glass, and he was able to turn his thoughts into incoherent words and release a little. How was the life of the policeman? He probably heard it when he raised his pants and slipped out the back door.
I like this picture the most in the film: the small house of grandpa's house, the old yellow car, the grass extending to infinity, and a few big trees. . . Add a frame to frame it, and it is an oil painting.
Because of the smell of grandson Alex in the yard, the grandfather played the accordion that he had not touched for many years. The second half of the film is actually more of a family ethics film. What about revenge? It seems increasingly irrelevant.
Just let all the secrets rot in your heart. When life is messed up, your responsibility is not small, why bother to burn your anger on others? The days when others look flawless, turn over and hide the inside of the patch.
The lake surrounded by dense forests in the movie is quiet and silent, but it has life. Not the same as the lake in the author's book. Both the policeman and Alex liked to wander here to sit for a while. The mood of watching the movie has changed from the depression and tension at the beginning to the relaxation and enjoyment. The pistol full of bullets sank into the lake, which shows that the idea of "revenge" as the title of the film has been completely abandoned by Alex. And I also thought to myself that the owner of the brothel should never come over, and the police car's wow should never be heard, so let the silence continue.
Staring at the lake in front of you for a while, you will feel that there is another world in the water. As the water rubs, the treetops seem to be digging deeper and deeper. How deep is the water? In a very deep place, there is also a piece of sky, floating over white clouds.
Accepting the rainwater from the flowing springs, and accommodating the aquatic plants and fishes, when they get together, they grow into the shape of a lake along the terrain. The lake is actually like a human mind, a small place, but bottomless. After some time, I can finally turn the rough into peace, and finally I can bury hatred in the mud and reflect the sky.
Late autumn is here, and the fruit trees in front of the house are ripe. Grandpa said, this is the best winter apple. As the breeze passed, the fruit fell in twos and threes. Alex bent over to pick it up, and in a short while, the basket was full. At this time, the screen went black, the picture disappeared, and the credits began to roll by silently, and there was no music. However, the birds were chirping incessantly, and there were a few barks of dogs in the distance.
In fact, after his eyes left the black screen, there was clearly a large oil painting-like Austrian pastoral scene unfolding in front of him: Alex put the basket full of winter apples on the wall and continued to pick up the second basket. The tree is so tall, its branches are bent by its many fruits. Camera up, up, up, over the highest branches, good! Looking down again, the tree gradually became smaller, and the house became smaller, and Alex's figure disappeared under the tree, and then a distant view, a distant view. . . The late autumn sunshine is slowly moving, and under the blue sky, this field is so vast and boundless. . .
This is undoubtedly the quietest "Revenge" movie I've ever seen. There are several different versions of the movie's poster. For different selling points, some popular materials are used, such as a woman's naked back and black silk. The legs, the glare behind him, the loaded pistol, and the male protagonist's blue veins bursting out of his brain. After reading the whole article, I found that this is actually the most suitable one: Grandpa's hut in the field and the quiet lake in the woods, a place to dissolve and bury hatred.
I don't want to worry about it, in case the police lady's mouth is not strict. . . In case the brothel owner comes looking for someone. . . In case the police department checked the fingerprints in the crime car. . . In case Alex himself is acting suspiciously. . . In case the bank does not give in. . . Oops, what grudges and grudges, forget it, let Alex go on quietly like this in the future, late autumn is over, winter is coming, eating apple pie around the fire, grandpa playing the accordion intermittently, and then waiting. Green shoots sprout in the spring field. . . Moreover, the child of the police family will also be born and grow up. Who will he (she) look like? (so gossip)
