Movie: You Were Never Really Here (2017)
Directors: Lynne Ramsay (England)
A killer who used to hammer people, performed countless suicides in the movie, tried to put a plastic bag over his head, then tried to pierce his throat with a dagger, tried to jump off the train tracks... Sounds very sad, but it is not success. This killer-themed film is still a little exciting, especially when Contra crossed the entire building to save the blonde loli, and a lot of violent scenes are enough to satisfy the eyes of thrill-seeking spectators.
But it is indeed a bit sad. The film has a very philosophical and Freudian complex in its bones. People who like simple and direct storytelling can basically avoid it. The 80-minute editing is compact and there are no protracted long shots. The violence is full of blood, and the warmth is restored to the delicate warmth of European movies. There are many interludes in the timeline, giving the viewers a sense of symbiosis in confusion and panic.
Director Lynne Ramsay is a person who loves to discuss philosophical issues. People who watch this film think it's not bad. I suggest to watch "We Need to Talk About Kevin" (We Need to Talk About Kevin), which is also a Cannes winner. . (For those who have won awards, you can rest assured that there is a blessing from Cannes.)
How many diseases does fat killer joe have?
One has depression, post-war psychological syndrome, bipolar disorder, and a slight Oedipus. It can be seen that he is very struggling, very eager to die, and has tried a hundred methods. No one knows, from a simple and cute little Zhengtai to a bearded uncle who can break through the world with a hammer and start decisively and professionally, what has he experienced? The film's constant flashbacks to his experiences of domestic violence, war, and murder may be part of the answer.
The mother-son relationship is the director's constant focus
This close mother-son relationship has given the bearded killer joe the motivation to commit suicide 10,000 times. The hope and meaning of survival are pinned on the mother. The mother's body is very old and thin, and her hair is all white. She still clearly remembers the name and appearance of Joe's girlfriend 20 years ago. After watching ghost movies, only Joe can give her a sense of security. The shivering setting of the killer does not prevent the two of them from getting along, nor does it prevent him from kneeling on the bathroom floor to clean up carefully. When getting along, the tenderness and delicacy often smears Joe's face.
Find a new starting point, start with another dependency?
A killer wearing a white shirt and a black suit, holding his mother buried in water, why not end the story? Is it for revenge?
Probably, he saw the light that suddenly appeared at the bottom of the dark lake and the face of the speaker's daughter who had been rescued in the light. So, shaking off the stone in his pocket, joe saved himself from 10,000 suicides, and ran back to save the blond little loli again. People who have given each other a touch of warmth can probably save each other's lives.
In the ending with a headshot or no headshot, the director threw a question of to be or not to be, which can be regarded as a relatively open ending, joe completed the killer mission, the weather outside the window was good, and the new travel companion traveled for the next life During the journey, people come and go in the restaurant at this time, and life seems to be hustle and bustle. Maybe you encounter it by chance, and you can finish the rest of the journey.
