Wang Xiaobo said that it is not enough for a person to have this life and this world, he should also have a poetic world. But not everyone has Wang Xiaobo's taste. Some people regard fighting as "poetic" ("Fight Club"), some people's poetry is inflatable dolls ("Inflatable Doll Love", "Air Doll", "My Robot Girlfriend"), some People are bound ("Bind Me, Bind Me"), and some people are a corpse that has begun to decay. The protagonist of the film, Hank, is a weirdo who secretly loves his wife and plays with corpses.
Zhang Dai said that people who are not obsessed can not be friends because they have no affection. In a movie like "Swiss Army Knife Man" that sells quirky spectacles, "Soul" is its only mask, the ultimate disguise. In the name of "affectionate", all immorality, incest, and even sin are forgivable. In other words, "affectionate" is an obvious itch, a vagina leading to the audience's emotional orgasm. When the director scratches the audience's orgasm, the audience will empathize with their own experience and even lose the ability to judge.
Like in a song: "If you like weirdos, I'm actually pretty."
This is the magic of storytelling. It helps the audience to forgive, forgive, and even get lost. If a man as handsome and handsome as Antonio Banderas stood in front of you and said politely, "I am 23 years old, I have 50,000 dollars in savings, and I am alone in the world. I would like to be your good husband. , the good father of your children." How could a young girl stand up to such an affectionate provocation? He didn't hurry to offer his hands and feet, and willingly let him tie a red rope into a hairy crab.
Some people have shallow eye sockets, and even Ma Jiajue and Yao Jiaxin dare to believe the whitewashing, let alone those women who have been married to prison felons one after another. I even suspect that one day the story of Hitler and Eva will enter the circle of friends of many people as a love story. There are only stories that are not told well, and there are no quirks that "affectionate" cannot conquer.
Eccentricity and affection are at the heart of The Swiss Army Knife Man. The former creates spectacles, attracts attention, and fills the director's favorite shit and piss; the latter is a weapon to empathize with the audience, a cliché and cheap commercial package. The success of the film is that firstly, it creatively captures the meme of "corpse", which is refreshing; secondly, it balances the proportions of bad taste and affection. As for some of the thoughts on human nature, sexual desire, and love in the middle, they seem to be full of philosophical meaning, but in fact they are vulgar. If you really want to learn to be a man, go out and turn left to Bergman, why do you need to find two dead houses?
The only problem is that the story isn't good enough, which is what I don't like about Swiss Army Knife Man. It only has a capacity of 30 minutes, and after being stretched to 97 minutes, it is stuffed into a lot of embarrassing and sour bridges, but it can't turn the pack tightly and densely. I don't like the lyrical MV-like passages in the film, which are too emotional and cheap as Calpis in water. I'm not satisfied with Hank's secret lover's behavior. There are only two ways to meet him on the bus and follow Instagram. It doesn't achieve the proper performance of the all-round human flesh of a perverted dead house. The director is lazy, diluting the tightness of the story.
Fortunately, Paul Dano and Daniel Radcliffe's performances propped up the thin story a little.
Whether it's bundling or corpse love, the essence of the movie is only one: loneliness. Loneliness is a common state of existence, and the more eccentric people are, the more lonely they are. When loneliness has painstakingly found a window, it will do everything in its power to project all affection on that object, turning the object into a fantasy. "The more you know me, the less you will like me." Hank fell in love with his fantasies, desperate and desperate.
Everyone has quirks, but loneliness is always new.
