The most thorough and gorgeous escape in history

Keven 2022-03-30 09:01:04

This kind of old man + child combination is still tried and tested ("Flying Around", "Butterfly", etc.), the collision of two hugely different personalities can always produce a lot of drama, and the barbarian is not old-fashioned, at least I looked very interested. Because the laughing point is relatively low, I basically laughed out loud in the whole film except for the "little contradictory" at the end.

This should be a story of escape and acceptance. Everyone has problems they want to avoid, study, work, family... But more people just talk about it, how to live or how to live, a few people have the fighting spirit to solve problems, very few people can He escaped so thoroughly like a little fat man, and escaped so earth-shatteringly.

What Uncle wanted to escape was obviously the grief caused by the death of his wife. In fact, he had gone halfway through the escape, and his wounds had healed a lot. When I came to the place where the water and the sky meet and sprinkled the ashes, I was actually ready to say goodbye to her. Helpless, the little fat man is too deep in the play... He wants to escape for a lifetime with such a jungle life (the poem he read to Uncle in bed, I can't remember it clearly, it seems to be live forever or something) Uncle is flattered and a little surprised, this kid Want to live like this for a lifetime? Well, you will die in the forest alone, then I will accompany you.

This ugly and cute little fat man is kind, brave, optimistic, and second in the middle school. Whether it was running with the stolen four rolls of toilet paper, or shouting "freedom" after breaking out of the siege, or calmly blocking the uncle and giving the wild boar a fatal shot, how can this little guy be loved Can't get up?

Probably because of society's tinted glasses. The little fat man decided that he could only be a gangster in the future, and that he could only be a road worker after re-education through labor. These are not things a child can spontaneously think of. People think that this little fat man who is not smart-looking and has no discipline can only have this fate in the future. The prophecy was obviously fulfilled in Little Fatty, because even he himself believed it. Therefore, he was unwilling to leave the jungle, unwilling to accept such a predetermined fate. What he didn't realize, however, was that the escape route he bravely embarked on had already shown his ability to stubbornly fight against fate. In the end, he even raised his gun at the surrendered uncle, shouting "traitor", this character is also tough.

The film mainly expounds the theme of ending escape and then growing. There is basically no good end for people who are desperate (thinking of the "Male and Male Thief" to fight a cold war), whether you are raised by a wolf or a bear, as long as you are human, you have to return to human society. This... why? It feels quite inhumane. I have the right to choose my own way of life, I just don't want to be restrained, and take me back without the use of aircraft cannons.

When it comes to aircraft cannons, this is a kind of contrast. Catch an old man and a child, and the tank SWAT will all go into battle. Judging from the news and the little girl's father, everyone actually regarded this hunt as a kind of fun. I am trapped in reality and cannot escape, but my heart is with two rebellious spiritual leaders, and neither can hold our free souls. The strong lineup of the national search has turned this into a reality show, plus an old aunt in a welfare home who scratches the third, this country's image has been completely destroyed, hahaha.

I don't know if it's the old aunt in the orphanage who acted well or the character is hateful enough, but in short, I hate this character. The whole film has a delicate balance between reality and innocence. That's why I don't see barbarians as a comedy. It turns out that the very comical old aunt destroys this feeling, and she seems to exist to make the villain more clear.

The old aunt also has her own secondary attributes, and she is both a Terminator and an American police officer; she doesn't care about the little fat man, and she is also the main predictor of the little fat man's gang life. She just used the chase to (pretend) to accomplish one feat of her life. In the end, the police officer's official complaints about her were very thorough. Hahaha, you are just a welfare home staff member in a Hollywood drama where the American police hunt down a murderer. (Set up a stinky character to make the audience hate it, and then flatten it on behalf of the audience; the director is a bit cunning)

Finally, the original sound is really good. Very unexpectedly not a small fresh style. NetEase Cloud Music can be listened to on mobile, but not on PC. I don't know why.

In the end, when I saw Aunt Bella for the first time, I thought it was Miranda who was a little excited, but it turned out that it was purely an actor bumping into the face. hahaha~

Hunt for the Wilderpeople quotes

  • Hec: Pretty majestical, aye?

    Ricky Baker: I don't think that's a word.

    Hec: Majestical? Sure it is.

    Ricky Baker: Nah, it's not real.

    Hec: What would you know?

    Ricky Baker: It's majestic.

    Hec: That doesn't sound very special, majestical's way better.

  • Ricky Baker: That's not very fair. Some people can't even have babies, and the ones who can, they don't even want them.
