"Murder in Lost Town" is ironic but not suspenseful

"Murder in the Lost Town"

A suspenseful film full of dark humor,

Actor performances are all online,

But the storytelling is unsatisfactory,

It can be said to be ironic and suspenseful.

There are two parallel lines in the plot,

Using the scenes of the black family to express the issue of racial discrimination in that era,

Appears to be applied to the surface.

But from another angle,

The black family that is restless day and night,

In the face of all inequality, we still love each other in the end,

And the Matt Damon family, who was calm on the surface and surging with dark tides,

In the battle of human sexual desires, the family is destroyed,

In terms of atmosphere, it formed the biggest contrast in the whole film,

It also leaves a lot to think about.

    Build a wall to separate attention, lye coffee with a soldering iron through the head, milk and bread in the closet under the bed, white people with black background, the middle-class family tragedy of the wrong step in the next step... The costumes and characters are exquisite like the works of the Coen brothers, but the director It's really a few tiers behind. When I watch it, I always think: What if the Coen brothers were filmed?

    Stupid! The aloof Qiao Laowu doesn't understand the crux of the people today. He only sees the appearance, just as he thinks from the dusty "homework"-level Cohen script that he has discovered a specific situation that can stir up public opinion at the moment. , But in fact it was his self-indoctrination and self-anaesthesia, it is better to make a speech to be more normal and practical.
