For McAvoy's fans, the fan filter will be heavier. Although this movie is extremely depressing to watch, I think that Ajan's acting skills in this movie are unquestionable, and can even be regarded as the best acting skills. With this, he won the best actor in BIF and LFCC, and he truly deserves his name. The Scotland in the film is extremely chaotic: serious racism and sexism, promiscuity, homophobia and a series of social problems. In the first half of the film, the director's creation of the sound and picture and the use of the music rhythm made me feel restless and even irritable, but in the second half of the film, it was very depressing. Especially the part where the so-called witnesses the blonde woman is actually Bruce in women's clothes - he's transvestite. This can be described as extremely depressing. Ajan's Bruce is a cop. He has a beautiful wife and lovely daughter, a happy family; career-wise, he is about to be promoted. In fact, Bruce has serious mental problems. He and his wife have long since divorced. The police uniform on him is a great irony. But at the same time Bruce is a very sad person. He killed his younger brother because of jealousy when he was a child. He always thought that his divorce from his wife was because he was not good enough, and his mental illness became more and more serious. In the end, he gave up redemption. At the same time, I think that Bruce's passion for suffocating sex may also contain certain meanings and implied endings, so from some perspectives, what Bruce is doing is more like escaping from reality. How to show such a ring-shaped character, This is a great test of the actor's skills. Other people in the film, each one represents an image of urbanites - everyone has secrets and even dark sides, this part can be reflected in the description of colleagues in the early part of the film, suggesting that every modern A person is more or less abnormal. I think it's more important to Bruce to have two women throughout the film, the wife and the widow. In Bruce's recollection, the wife is sexy and charming, and the home video and supermarket encounters seem to her very ordinary; the widow represents a kind of redemption, and she fits into the perfect family imagined by Bruce. The only good person in the movie is Bruce's friend, the cowardly and cautious businessman. He has never hurt anyone, and he has endured everything silently. I think he and Bruce are mirror images of each other. Maybe this is what Bruce has done to hurt him so much. It's because they are still friends. In the film, the two shots that remind me the most, one is the "image" shot, where people turn into animals, symbolizing everyone's inner character , what the painting and the worms that follow; another one of my favorite shots: he packs himself up, takes the scarf from the widow and prepares to hang himself, the widow mother and son appear at the door and ring the bell, Bruce's eyes wide open Speaking out, the mother and son left, he said to the camera the phrase that repeatedly appeared in the film, "same rules apply", and then kicked his foot, and the film stopped abruptly. Bruce saw the light, but he gave up redemption - light is born of darkness, it is fleeting, and darkness is eternal. 2019.2.3
