pure white thriller

1. Get rid of the usual dark tones of thrillers, and use clear white instead - the meaning of the hospital is even more obvious, there is no extra decoration, only white walls, seemingly pure and innocent to save people The place, in fact, is the place where people's lives are ended (in the film, Martin's father's surgery failed because of Stephen's preoperative drinking, and the powerful pulsating organ that came in in the opening big shot (I really don't know which part it is) It is also in contrast to the bloody disposable gloves that are thrown into the trash can. The scene of the trash can is followed by Stephen and the anesthesiologist walking out of the long aisle (this depth shot is visually very comfortable and extremely smooth), Talking about the topic of watches, it can be seen that it is not after Martin's father's operation, but this connection seems to indicate that each operation is just a task for the doctors, and it is no different.

On the contrary, the dazzling white color can give people a creepy feeling of suffocation.

2. Father and son exchange secrets. The father told the story of his masturbation as a child - probably related to Freud's field of sexual psychology (I almost forgot about it, I can't remember it), but related to the father's personality as an adult (dominant in the family) Status, special hobbies in couples' bed affairs, etc.) are related.

3. Recurrence of the cross.

    I thought it was a different real world from "The Lobster", but in fact it was still a self-world created by Lanthimos. It didn't need logic or explanation. It only relied on a series of symbolic metaphors to promote the development of the plot. The thrilling soundtrack and exquisite picture composition are empty. This year, there are too many movies with nothing to say. "Creation is not by addition but by subtraction."

    I don't understand, I spent most of my time watching the decoration of their home.

The Killing of a Sacred Deer quotes

  • Martin: He should have come out of that surgery alive, but he died.

  • Student's Dad: The boy is very good at math and physics. Kim is very good at literature and history. They're both a little restless, but they've never been rude to any of the staff.
