The ultimate collision of Scottish language, after reading it, I feel like I have been drinking a pound of heroin.
Although I don't know what it's like to drink a pound of heroin.
This movie is adapted from the novel of the same name by Evan Wells, the author of "Trainspotting". The full text of this novel is written in Scottish dialect that liberates myself. I tried to read a little of the original text, which means that it is quite challenging to be patient...and, I I want to mention this sentence to say that the movie has deleted many plots from the original text due to space problems, and there are special posts that have carefully analyzed it, but I still shut up and didn’t talk about it before I finished it.
Actually, I don't really like this movie subjectively, because it reminds me of Xiao Li's satyr of Wall Street (cross out) The Wolf of Wall Street, but it's a beautiful solo show. Like Xiao Li, Juju felt that Juju used too much force throughout the whole process, as if he had taken a hallucinogen.
When I was watching the movie, I was thinking, no one can escape Zhan Yimei's blue eyes, even if he has a big beard and gained 15 pounds, give him a close-up of his eyes, and I will be planted.
This movie is a black comedy. In order to get promoted, the villain Bruce will do whatever it takes to frame his colleagues and the wife of a sleeping colleague/friend (your wife control attribute has not changed from the last dictatorship to the present...), he is immersed in sex , drugs and power, it is said that there is also a charming wife who is envied by everyone, with a harmonious family and a happy life, it could not be better.
However, the movie is made up of three main scenes, the main scene is Bruce's real-life funny and crazy behavior, and also intermittently sees people as various animals, such as himself a dirty pig. It is interspersed with the torture of him by a deformed doctor (in the original, the questioning of a tapeworm in his heart) and the confession of his charming wife Carlo.
From the doctor's torture, we know that Bruce has a very serious heart disease, about his brother who died by mistake and some other large and small shadows; and in Carlo's confession, the most frequently mentioned sentence is "When Bruce succeeded in promotion After that, the Robertsons will be a happy family again."
These are actually foreshadowings. The first half of the police’s life is actually a step-by-step black humor, but after this part is over, Bruce, whose mental state has plummeted, has let himself go, and the truth is also revealed in front of us. The real Carlo has long been Leaving Bruce, "When Bruce is successfully promoted, the Robertson family will be a happy family again." It was his own hint to himself; and Carlo is not a graceful woman, just an ordinary and even boring housewife.
To be honest, the most shocking part is the part where Bruce pretends to be his wife. The rhythm of the soundtrack is extremely cult movie-like, with the intertwined image of Bruce's image and the imagined image of Carlo, and also echoes the murder at the beginning. , that kind of sudden realization of the truth is really shocking.
[Interjection, Yimei's younger sister, Joey McAvoy, played the blond bad girl, she is quite handsome, but the two brothers and sisters really don't look alike 233]
My other favorite is Bruce and the female police officer During the quarrel, Bruce was never disdainful, then vulnerable, and then mad. The momentary change was wonderful, comparable to the part in my favorite apocalypse where he saw Rui Wen from laughing to helpless to crying when he mentioned the old ten thousand seconds. I admire Yimei's acting skills and emotional expression ability.
The other part is the part where he intends to commit suicide at the end. To be honest, when I first saw him put on a police uniform, cleaned himself up, and took out the scarf given to him by the kind mother and son, I thought he was finally going to be a new man, but he picked up the bench and hanged... ...
The original plot in the book is that he came to the house where Carlo lives now. The shadows outside the door are the returned Carlo and his daughter. He intends to use the most irreversible way to die in front of his former wife and daughter. Shadows haunt them all their lives.
But it was too cruel.
The ending in the movie is much gentler. Although the director did not explicitly say whether he succeeded in committing suicide, but seeing the scene where the director deliberately arranged the chair to be folded, I will assume that he is dead. In the end, he smiled hysterically at the camera with blue eyes. I wanted to cry but said, "Same rules apply." But I had a feeling that although he died, he finally figured it out and was relieved.
The ending song is a cartoon that abstracts the plot of the movie. I call it the history of a pig's struggle. I think this may be the reason why this very depressing movie was put into the column of comedy. , Bruce is miserable and desperate, and the ending is not a positive energy for day up, but the whole movie is expressed in a form of almost grotesque irony, especially the part of the copier, Mr. Enlargement can really make people laugh . This is not a family comedy in the traditional sense, but an absurd comedy that can "cause people to laugh at ugly and funny, and affirm normal life and beautiful ideals".
This is what the movie has done.
