In March of this year, the author knows that a dark horse work "Eat Raw" has been shortlisted for several awards in Cannes. Since then, "Eat Raw" has become one of the most anticipated films of the author after "Dunkirk" in 2017. Looking forward to it It's not that its various awards halos are added, but it is more or less curious. After watching it now, I am not disappointed. It fully satisfied my voyeuristic psychology of unknown things. The strong contrast between the dark red blood and the cold tone of light blue is like the interaction between the heroine Justin's vented desire and restrained heart. The switch makes the audience sometimes feel heartbroken and mourn, and sometimes suffocate.



The overall painting style is simple and clear, and the music changes with the mood of the characters. Sometimes passionate, sometimes quiet and long, whether you appreciate the film's extroverted and introverted form from an aesthetic point of view, or psychologically analyze the spiritual transition in the character's growth process that contradicts her behavior,



it can be seen that the director's words are inconsistent . The astonishing and endless production ambitions, the violent themes of murder, drug use, homosexuality, torture and abuse have become a thing of the past in the eyes of director Julia. As far as I am concerned, the author can only use the word "amazing" to express the shocked heart.

film tells the story of a girl from a family of veterinarians. After suffering all kinds of inhumane treatment in medical school, she was originally a vegetarian and opened a bloodthirsty Pandora's box, from being forced by her sister to eat raw rabbit kidneys, to eating raw rabbit kidneys. Sister's severed finger, her inner world and beliefs have undergone earth-shaking changes.



In fact, it can be seen from the ending that the whole family of the heroine suffers from a genetic disease of bloodthirsty and raw food, and it is the hemophagia of the causative gene on chromosome X in the sex-linked genetic disease. Female members of the family are often sick, and the heroine's parents are one From the beginning, I understood the hidden dangers of the family, so I asked my daughters to keep the habit of eating only vegetarian food, trying to restrain the bloodthirsty cannibalism factor hidden in their genes, but as a veterinarian, I had to face the scenes of bloody anatomy, and it was these scenes that opened the way After the heroine's long-repressed desire to eat raw and potential evil, she often doubles her true self.



At first, the heroine used hair and various abnormal behaviors to suppress primitive impulses and bound her true self. When her sister awakened the heroine's desire through animal viscera, the heroine realized that vegetarianism was just a shackle of her parents on her self. On the one hand, she has to get out of the shackles set by her parents, on the other hand, she has to beware of her sister's inducement, so as not to go astray in another way. Since her sister indulged and forgiven the heroine for eating her severed finger, the heroine's heart fell into eating raw meat. With the thought swamp of not eating, hiding under the quilt, she almost collapsed under the mental whiplash.

The director is good at abstracting the inner reaction of the protagonist and metaphorically expressing it through some specific shots. For example, when the heroine woke up from sleep and found a large area of ​​scabs on her body, it was extremely itchy. When she woke up, she began to scratch her skin without restraint. The author, who had a mild intensive phobia, couldn't bear to look directly. The director instantly switched the camera to a rope imprisoned The horse with its waist and head stretched out on the track set by the treadmill has been running aimlessly and tiredly, and even if it ends up being exhausted, it cannot stop for a rest.



The horse here is actually a metaphorical incarnation of the heroine. The heroine lives without deviation in the shackles of her parents’ vegetarianism, even though her inner desire for raw meat has been restrained, just like the horse imprisoned by ropes has to be in the right place. The track is running, the heroine is enjoying the thrill of scratching frantically, and the horse is also frantically breaking free from the rope's correction to it, and the released desire is like a kite with a broken line, and it will float freely.



Impressionist style of yellow and blue. In the oil painting Party, blue dye was chosen to wrap the outside of the heroine, symbolizing that the heroine was covered with depression and pessimism, while the man who was close to the heroine painted the whole body with yellow fuel full of hope and vitality. After the main water and milk blended, blue invaded yellow, yellow merged into blue, and the heroine ended up biting off a piece of the man's lip, frantically flushing the paint all over her body, but she still ate the lip that fell to the ground with a feeling of enjoyment. Meat.



Here, the heroine's desire to eat cannibalism has been completely out of control. At the night party, the sister deliberately stimulated the heroine's desire to eat raw in front of everyone, so that in the end, the sisters ate each other's flesh. The story has entered the climax stage, and the parents control everything become a broken bubble.

In the end, the sister was imprisoned for eating the heroine's boyfriend, and the heroine was redeemed. The heroine who woke up found that a large area of ​​flesh on her deceased boyfriend's leg had been eaten, and found herself with blood on her mouth in the mirror. She mistakenly thought that she had done it out of control. She felt guilty and asked her boyfriend why he didn't fight back.



It shows that although she is physically uncontrollable, deep down she doesn't want to eat people, so when she sees her sister with blood on her face, she chooses to forgive her again and cleanse her dirty sins. The confrontational mentality of not eating also got a clear answer. Finally, they saw the scarred father who was eaten by the mother. They finally let go of everything that happened. It turned out that she was just repeating the fate of her mother. lifetime.



In short, the whole film, whether it is the bold topic selection, the control of extreme scenes, and the harmony of tone and music, all demonstrate the difference between the film and other horror films. This is also one of the reasons why fans are keen on it. The director controls the bloody scenes moderately, giving people a clean and neat visual effect. Therefore, it is a regret in life that the fan girl who likes to hunt is still not in the car!
