First and foremost, of course, is the confusing name. According to the reading habits of most people, the title of the film will probably be broken as "Switzerland, Army Knife Man", which means a man from Switzerland with an army knife. But after watching the movie, I really understood the meaning of the title - a man with countless functions like a Swiss Army Knife, to be precise, a corpse.
The corpse could do nothing but not move on its own. Talking and thinking are all small tricks, teeth as clips, head as a hammer, and even more powerful is the body as a mobile water dispenser, fart as a jet, mouth as a machine gun, even erect penis can be used as a back. Compass for home. This corpse can be described as a must-have artifact for home travel and roaming the arena, and the "Harry Potter" brand must be recognized for snapping up.
Because the actor who played the corpse in the movie was Daniel Radcliffe, who was popular all over the world with the role of Harry Potter, so I kept thinking during the viewing process, if I really lived on an island, what would it be? This Swiss Army Knife-like corpse is easy to use or bring a magic little Harry.
Of course, judging from the final result of this movie, it is probably the corpse that is more useful.
Because the corpse not only has various practical functions like a Swiss Army Knife , but also has extraordinary functions in enlightening and encouraging the spirit. body and named him Manny. In the end, relying on the help of Manny's various magical functions, Hank successfully escaped from the isolated island, traveled through the jungle, and returned to the human world.
But the truth of the matter has been revealed.
It turns out that there is no such thing as Manny's corpse like a Swiss Army Knife, and Hank has never been on an island. Hank isn't really Hank either, his real name is actually Manny. All the stories in the movie are just the fantasy of his failed life.
He is a typical loser himself, accomplishing nothing, and even his own father thinks he is mentally retarded. Every day on the bus, he secretly fell in love with a girl on the same bus, but he only dared to secretly take pictures as a mobile phone desktop, and he never had the courage to go to strike up a conversation.
So he hid in the woods behind the girl's house and acted as a savage isolated from the world. Here, he built a new home out of rubbish, and even built the bus that often ran into girls. In the process, the corpse was the person he fantasized to help him.
It can be said that this is the same two sides of him. On the one hand is the incompetent and cowardly himself, on the other hand is the omnipotent and ignorant "Swiss Army Knife Corpse". So the two of them have been chatting, and the topics of the chat range from life itself to love and sex, but the purpose of their conversation is to make the failed Manny regain the confidence to continue his life and return to society again.
Of course, this goal is also achieved at the end of the film. At least his father smiled at him and seemed to understand his world. But the girl who was crushed and the rest of the world still seemed to have a "What the fuck" expression on their faces. But all this is no longer important to the protagonist Manny. He has completed his reconciliation with himself, himself and the world.
This is a very innovative movie, but the shortcomings are also very obvious. The most interesting setting of the movie is undoubtedly this omnipotent corpse like a Swiss Army Knife, especially the realization of various functions is really open-minded and makes people shine. In addition, the shit and urine in the dialogue and all kinds of meat jokes are also one of the laughing points.
But as mentioned earlier, the movie originated from an interesting little story, but it was finally made into a movie with a duration of one and a half hours. Therefore, it seems a bit procrastinated in many places, and some plots are also boring by forcibly preaching the truth of life.
And these so-called life principles are nothing more than when life is decadent and nothing is accomplished, how to accept yourself, how others should not discriminate against you, and how society should accept yourself. The movie tries to express these things better in the philosophical category, but after all, because of the poor script and narrative ability, it becomes like an old woman's footbinding, smelly and long.
Overall, life is tough, and it's nice to have a movie that's full of shit and piss that makes you laugh and roll back and forth. You don't need to delve into what the movie is about, or whether it successfully expresses anything, as long as it makes people laugh, it's worth the hour and a half of watching the movie.
