How did "Swiss Army Knife Man" unfold the fantasy drifting of a middle-aged Pi?

It was the same accident at sea, but what the young Pi experienced seemed to be a grand fantasy epic.

Cruel fantasy is intertwined with the suffering reality, and it revolves around the torture of human nature that reaches the deepest part of the soul.

In contrast, "Swiss Army Knife Man" is like a fresh... oh no heavy taste... oh no, it's really hard to define.

Because the film is about a man on a deserted island, Hank, who wants to commit suicide but accidentally finds a corpse. It can fart and transform into a jet-powered yacht. Its mouth can spit out clean water. It perfectly solves the problem of drinking water on an isolated island. Tintin... can also act as a compass to guide the direction - ah, this man's corpse that looks like a Swiss army knife is really a good corpse - and then the story of the man returning to his hometown with the help of the corpse.

Starting from the freshness of the brain-opening holes formed by the strong impact of the opening chapter, a man and a corpse deduce an unprecedented wonderful story.

It's just so weird, so self-willed, and so good-looking, are you convinced?

It is worth pondering that, just like the young Pi finally watched the tiger return to the forest, Hank also watched the corpse return to the sea at the end.

So, under the absurd surface of the film, what if the corpse is just another self projected by Hank's psychological projection, like the boy Pi who "has a tiger in his heart"?

So the whole film has a whole new look.

The middle-aged man Hank is a LOSER through and through. He has nothing in his career and nothing in love. He is a single dog.

Looking around, the poor bastard who couldn't stand loneliness (isolated island) was ready to commit suicide for the remainder of his life.

At this time, he imagined another self, a "superego" who appeared "omnipotent" compared to his "incompetence".

This new self is able to take all the problems of survival on the island with ease.

Everything seems to be self-sufficient.

But there is only one problem that cannot be avoided as a human being, the more lonely you are, the more you will long for love.

Lack of love is the only problem that two people need to face together.

Hank teaches corpses what love is by using pictures of childhood crushes.

The two even simulated the game of love again and again,

But little effect.

In the end, the desire for love led them to return to the world to find their first love.

(The direction of Tintin is the direction of love.)

But they overlooked one key: time.

Hank, who shaved off his beard, looked like a young man, and when he saw his first love, she was already the mother of the child.

It turned out that even if he had the courage to express himself that he did not have before, he could no longer return to the past.

Time is the only question.

late.

The middle-aged uncle also woke up from his dream.

He could only watch the self who was omnipotent in fantasy, learned to love and mustered up the courage to start over, go away on the sea...

Recalling the moment when I rode my corpse and glide freely against the waves, thinking I could start the journey of life again,

How exciting and hopeful.

That was the funniest scene in the whole movie.

Also the saddest scene.

    The fake poison is real chicken soup, the fake heavy mouth is so fresh, I have long been tired of this kind of sheep in wolf skin, either give me a superhero, or give me a big bowl of arsenic. The screenwriter’s brains must be praised, but the form is obviously greater than the content. The soundtrack was very good, but it was too good, and the movie was reduced to a large-scale MV. The tone of each picture is adjusted to fly, as if the Instagram filter is applied. Daniel's ass is praised.

    Puff, the brains are wide open, but they are all flowers embroidered, no matter how weird, no matter how special, no matter how good the music, the script and narrative skills are still messed up. It feels like a short film and a long-term film. The two directors are more suitable for advertising.

Swiss Army Man quotes

  • Manny: Uhh... what should I do now?

    Hank: Um... OK, maybe you talk to her.

    Manny: Well, what do I talk about?

    Hank: Just... whatever comes naturally.

    Manny: Hello. I don't know why, but I have this sudden urge to put my mouth on your mouth?

    Hank: OK, that's called kissing, but you can't do that yet. That's too fast.

    Manny: Oh... Uh, how 'bout if I put my penis in you?

    Hank: That's even worse.

    Manny: Oh, so sorry. What about if just did the tip, like, just the very beginning...

    Hank: OK, Manny, is not about sex!

  • Hank: Every day, you ride the bus and count the minutes, hoping you'll see her again.

    Manny: Oh, my God.

    Hank: She smiles, and you feel a strange tingle up the back of your neck. Something carnal inside of you causes your body to break out in sweats. You feel like the luckiest man in the world. She sits alone, just like every other day, and looks out the window lost in her thoughts. You know that look. She's just as alone as you are, but she doesn't have to be. You could talk to her. Tell her you'd love to sit next to her today and every other day, because life is short, and no one deserves to ride the bus alone.
