Recently, depression, loneliness, and death have been constantly mentioned. It seems that the more bizarre life is, the more lonely it is, and the more civilized and progressive society is, the more intolerant. Depression has become an uncontrollable little devil, and death has become a way of escaping and resisting, causing the onlookers to sigh. However, we live in such a life, don't you feel weird?
"Swiss Army Knife Man" is a film about self-talk. The story is set on an uninhabited desert island. Only when he is far away from the city, society, crowd, and the Internet can the protagonist Hank carry out a journey of self-talk. When he decides to kill himself, Hank projects his alter ego onto a corpse (not sure if the corpse really exists, or if it's just his fantasy), so he and his corpse friend (named Mann Ni) began to escape from the desert island and return to human society. When working with Manny, he found that the corpse was like an almighty Swiss Army knife, capable of making fire, hunting, chopping wood... and talking and chatting, almost possessing all the functions of survival in the wild.
In the middle of a late night insomnia, in a piece of music, we may all be having a conversation with ourselves, but it is undeniable that we are having such conversations less and less, either because of tiredness or because of irritability. Our spiritual world seems to encounter countless forks every day. We are always trying to find the right way. If we stand still, death is the only way. I think Hank was lost when he chose to commit suicide, so the picture is on an uninhabited island, facing an empty sea. If we imagine all the pictures in the movie as Hank's inner world, you will find that every step Hank takes is self-salvation and return. Because there is still a glimmer of hope in his heart, he must have a support, so he saw Manny on the beach. Manny's supernatural ability took him to a place where there were traces of human activities. Slowly, with guidance, and later Cell phone signal... All of this is a journey to return to the body, as well as a journey to return to the heart. Although I saw the end of the movie, I didn't think there was anything good about this return.
Manny is another man in Hank's heart, but there is such a Manny in each of us: he is full of doubts about the rules of this world: why can't you fart freely, dance as much as you want, and don't put the Desires can be said plainly, can't do what you want to do? The world's specifications make us Hank, however, Hank is not happy. In the process of escaping the wilderness, how to balance the inner "ugly" desire and the outer "gentleman's" behavior is the core of the communication between Manny and Hank.
In my opinion, this is a tragedy, even the "love" that has been transformed into a warm color. The beauty of Hank's secret love for Sarah has always stayed at the moment when he fell in love with her at first sight, and it became a beautiful slow-motion picture in his heart. In addition, Hank was inferior, ashamed to admit it, and even more afraid to speak to Sarah. Although Manny said he was going to find her and tell her, this was just Hank's inner thoughts. Once he saw Sarah in the real world, Manny changed his mind and said, "Don't let her know that I like her" and love to let him As humble as dust, he would rather let the world think that he is a lunatic hiding in the mountains behind other people's homes. In the last scene, Manny left, Hank laughed, and others were stunned, and Sarah said "WTF!
