Two years ago, I watched the movie "No Man's Land" directed by Ning Hao and learned what black humor is. Last year, when I read "The Postman Always Rings the Bell Twice" written by James M. Cain, I really realized the power of Uncle Sam, the originator of black humor. Regarding black humor, the Encyclopedia Britannica explains it this way: "It is a hopeless humor that seeks to elicit laughter, as a human response to the apparent meaninglessness and absurdity of life." Yes, that's right. . Moreover, it is a product of despair and hope, pain and joy, cruelty and tenderness, a kind of "freak" that makes you want to laugh and cry, cry and laugh, and express tragedy in comedy. forms of art. Well, I love this art form. So, the movie "Murder in Lost Town", I have to watch it. Overall, the film tells the story of a company executive, who fell into financial crisis and directed a story about hiring a murderer to kill his wife and then cheating insurance money with his adulterous sister-in-law. You see, from the short paragraph I just described, it involves the main characters of the film, director Matt Damon, sister-in-law Julianne. Moore, the hired murderer, his wife, the insurer, a series of ironic, hilarious, extremely funny, absurd and absurd stories that happened between them because of an evil idea of the supervisor. From this level, apart from the difference in gender, identity, status and character relationship between the victim and the perpetrator, this film is very similar to the core of "The Postman Always Rings Twice", but it is not exactly that, it is calmer and more Cruel and more complex, it exposes the evil, greed, warmth and goodness of human nature. And these stories are based on the background of a mysterious town, a small town that was originally very quiet and peaceful. It was staged and happened one after another shortly after a black family moved in. This was originally a coincidence, but the residents of the small town where the white people lived did not think so, so they made trouble, under the guise of fairness, justice, and peace, smashed and burned, and did ulterior motives. It is this kind of cover-up that is the culprit behind all kinds of murders that can happen under the nose of the police. Such fundamental social contradictions caused by racial discrimination are commonplace even in the United States today. Although the legal system has already clearly stipulated, in people's hearts, this kind of black and white discrimination is carved into the bones. Throughout the town residents, only the victim's mother would let her son play baseball with the black child next door. I am very happy that I read a report on the sneeze diagram two days ago. Now some families in American society let their children play with dolls, not only Barbie dolls, but also dolls of various skin colors. In the mind there is no distinction of skin color, no distinction of race. Shouldn't adults blush seeing children playing so naturally, so freely? What do you usually instill in your children? Don't you think it's too late to talk about racial equality when they're older? And that's what this film is about. It is the fundamental value and significance of the existence of films, that is, to pay attention to society and reality.
