The translation of the title is a bit humorous. I built this house and planted this tree. If you want to cross this road, I will leave your life behind.
Closer to home
The film is perverted, but poetic. Not only bloody, but also humorous. Sorry for using a lot of middle school conjunctions. But he made it so contradictory and beautiful!
When Jack gradually developed the murder target and techniques, I realized the extreme indifference and shamelessness of the protagonist. And in the process of his killing, I was immersed in the humor of the camera. This kind of contradiction makes my sense of morality drop so much that I feel a little embarrassed.
Jack's perspective is always only his own perspective. He builds the house in his heart with death. He can see poetry and beauty in any death. Each story is interspersed with non-storytelling images, accompanied by a voiceover of Jack talking to the Verge. This is the imagery Jack found for the Fall and the Killing, the house, the stuff, the grapes, the deer, the Verge (whom he talks to). The movie doesn't describe his upbringing too much, it's more about why he kills, how he kills, what he thinks about afterwards, and keeps evolving. The director uses this method to let the audience get into Jack's heart, as if he is Jack. This too real sense of substitution, within a few minutes of the beginning of the movie, as if his hands are covered with blood, three emotions are constantly alternating, fear, excitement and shame.
The theory about the pleasure of murder is self-evident, his life is like walking under street lamps at night. The shadow looked taller and more powerful than he was. You're always going from one streetlight to another, and once you're in the center of the light cluster, the shadows are minimal. At this time, he could not bear his incompetence and "acted".
The second paragraph is about the theory of hunting. This is a theory about the order of killing. If you see the mother deer in the front and the baby deer in the back, they will march in a team. Which deer will be shot first?
The third paragraph about the theory of grapes, only death is beautiful, just like grapes use their different ways of dying, or air-drying or long-haired fermentation, to contribute different wines to mankind.
Why do people pry into the dark, because the devil has power. Guilt and shame can weaken a person's ability to act, but they can also make it difficult to do bad things. And serial killers have a characteristic, they are extremely powerful, even strong, because they lack a sense of guilt and shame.
Don't laugh at the vulnerability and hesitation of others, their backside may be our conscience.
