Foreword: On March 31, 2018, Pengpeng La Yangpian started work today. "Mystery Town Murder" is somewhat cruel to children, but it is not a bad thing to be able to understand the cruelty of human nature earlier. In fact, the sooner you see it through, the more likely it is to cross this gap in your lifetime. Of course, in Baba's view, this film not only talks about human nature, so this film was selected as the first entry in the diary.
This is the last scene of the story, full of sunshine and a warm ending. In a neat and vast residential area, two children of different colors are happily playing baseball. Who would have imagined that the little boy Nicky just left the gloomy house behind him indifferently. A night where all sins are dissipated, and all relatives are already in the morgue.
Death, when can this topic be seriously discussed with children? Perhaps the birth of a person is an accident, but it is inevitable that every moment of life faces death. In this classic American bridge, dust to dust has become a must-have line. Nicky watched his mother buried, there was no sadness in his heart, only inexplicable doubts and fears.
In fact, Nicky's father Gardner and his aunt Margaret had been plotting for a long time to murder his mother. Although the mother, who escaped the car accident, was living in a wheelchair, she has been cared for by two life-threatening ghosts from her close relatives. In the end, she went to Huangquan, which can be said to be out of the sea of misery. The death of my mother is not just for Nicky's doubts, but also for me. My aunt and my mother have the same appearance and no difference in temperament. They are true egg-born twin sisters, but her husband insists on killing her many times, just to be with a clone. What is the motivation for her to steal an affair? There must be some kind of peculiar American culture hidden behind this metaphor, which is left to Peng Peng to explore.
After the mother died, everything calmed down temporarily, and with a strong spiritual support, the children fell asleep. Nicky's dark-skinned neighbor, the only family in the town, a black family who had just immigrated with equal status, also fell asleep. The metaphor of the film also gradually surfaced.
What is the social conflict in the United States, is it really a racial conflict? The film gives the tip of the iceberg as an answer, and I think it's enough. Father Gardner has a decent job, has a wife and children, but still can't satisfy his inner demons. As the saying goes, the Tao is one foot high, the devil is one zhang high, killing his wife and cheating on security, and quickly heading for a luxurious life shrouded the entire white ethnic group. Their hypocritical condolences and mask-like smiles tell the society that money is the almighty God. And bad things, as long as they are not told to the world, means that they never happened.
No one can threaten me, I am working hard for the plan, I am fighting for the goal! If it is not bound by the main theme, in fact, this film can also be interpreted as a crime aspirational film. The father did not expect that the careful plan was completely destroyed by the curiosity of the son, an accident, and the storm was about to come.
At this time, the aunt was showing a very bright smile. My sister is gone, this man, his wealth, his life, everything will belong to him. Like an empress walking out of a cold palace, this picture reminds me of a line passed down by Zhen Huan: No matter how bad it was, it will be better now. The character Zhen Huan received was a victor who was forced to fight out of self-defense. And this younger sister has indeed achieved a staged victory in the law of the jungle.
For a time, racial discrimination or racial incompatibility, or just a little panic caused by people of different ethnic groups and skin colors, was caused by a simple incompatibility. The conflicts they created seemed so comfortable and insignificant in the white people's own murderous family conflicts. The black mother's calmness and contradictory insipidity seem to be telling the Supreme Commander of the United States in 2018 to wake up.
The appearance of the insurance claims investigator is really a highlight of the film. This insurance investigator is too talented. It is clearly a Jedi cop, Sherlock Holmes, Conan are willing to be defeated. He is proficient in psychology, proficient in legal terms, and sharp in articulation. If World War II is over, he will definitely find a position in the FBI or CIA, or become an excellent lawyer, judge, or negotiator. However, he is just a moth who wants to make some extra money. The temptation of money is too great. It can't be blamed on someone, because to survive in society, it is necessary to live in a more luxurious house, have a swimming pool and a luxury car, and Feel free to throw some sea-to-sky feast-like weekend parties and socialize with the world's spire crowds. Without money, everything is empty talk!
Inside the house, the frenzied killing began, and the white people were also gathering in anger, besieging the lonely black family of three. And the climax of father Gardner intensified at this time, and the anger of failure made it difficult for others to control their emotions, killing, killing, killing.
When the chaos ended, the black family seemed calm as ever. Just like children playing a house, act like a spoiled child, let out anger, and it's over. Or like the no-nonsense sailors in the tavern who had a night of rave, except for the death of a few rave white men (including one of the hapless murderers), everyone washed and slept.
This scene is unusual. Tiger poison does not eat children, if it is not the three palaces and six courtyards of the feudal dynasty, or the old wealth of the landlord who has built a century-old property, it is really impossible to find a source of motivation for a hard-working American father to treat his children like this. If you don't obey Daddy's lies, Daddy will kill you together. I think that's the good intentions of the film. Seeing this, I couldn't help but have the urge to include this film in my diary.
Because as early as 20 years ago, 20 years ago, it turned out that 20 years had passed. From 1999 to 2001, a series of youth-themed American films "Apple Pie" or "American Pie". What I see is a desirable America, a beautiful and peaceful place, free and romantic, safe and crazy. That is really the life you dream of, and the campus you want to experience. However, 20 years Hedong, 20 years Hexi. (Leveraging from the past to the present, American directors and screenwriters do not have time to really criticize history. They write stories from 60 years ago and represent current events.)
Pengpeng, what Baba wants to tell you: In fact, no matter what country, system, or environment you live in. Human beings all face a common enemy, and it is not differences in race, skin color, language, or culture. It is the common demon of people. The Tao is one foot high, and the devil is ten feet high. Wealth is obtained in a proper way, and we cannot be greedy for quick progress. The idiot moves mountains, and it is passed down from generation to generation. Only then can we have a solid foundation. Of course, you can also transcend the shackles of wealth on people's hearts. Doing one or a few meaningful things in your life is much more interesting and easier than pursuing the pinnacle of wealth and power. Otherwise, whether it is success or failure, it will be spent in sadism and fear.
To see if a person is abusive, between the eyebrows and the hair is clearly drawn.
