The author expresses his counterattack against universal business operations

The author of "Velvet Circular Saw" expresses his counterattack against universal business operations. What kind of story will happen when artworks with strong personal expressions are connected with ugly humanity and dirty transactions? Art merchants need artworks to maintain the operation of the business circle and obtain profits, and getting more people to recognize the artistry of the works is undoubtedly an important way to maximize profits, but this is precisely because the author’s few expressions constitute a contradiction, and the two support each other. Ebb and flow. This is undoubtedly a film full of irony and criticism. Those who cannot control their desires will eventually be swept back by the high-priced artworks with emotional injection in their hands, and finally become part of the artistic expression. The director combines suspense and horror elements at the same time, shooting the backlash of the work out of the feeling of "Death is Coming", and setting the correspondence between the characters and the way of death, which is considered novel in this respect. However, the logical setting of the death artwork, the main thread of the whole story, is still too vague. It is not clear how those artworks are inevitable related to death, and the excavation and expression of the so-called art world is not deep enough. 6 points. Ps: This time director Dan Gilroy is a step backwards compared to his 2014 debut "Nightcrawler".

    As mentioned earlier, the art industry is quite interesting to look at. It is a new knowledge. Thriller and death are not interesting at the beginning, and have nothing to do with the painting itself. Jake's acting is not bad, Josephina's role is not so good... (Does Netflix's self-made commercials play so clearly?!
