At the beginning of the film, the poet Ma Gao and his friend Hei Zai were drunk, sitting in a carriage, followed by a band of trumpet and drum trumpeting bands flying across the streets of Belgrade, Yugoslavia. The two drunks chanted revolutionary slogans while firing random guns. Ma Chirrou’s kind-hearted zookeeper’s brother Iwan watched his brother’s vigorous revolutionary feat in front of his house with excitement. He was envious, but as an ordinary lame, besides stammering his elder brother, he could only The zoo takes care of his beloved animals.
Early the next morning, World War II came.
A stupid white goose frantically pecked the injured tiger's head, but was bitten off by the angry tiger; Ivan cried and cried at the dead animal carcasses while holding his orangutan; the black boy kept at home regardless of After eating and drinking, I was really irritated by the continuous gunfire and decided to take a gun to teach these foreign Germans who do not know good or bad; Heizi’s wife chattered endlessly, saying that Heizi was clearly going to the theater to find a good actor Natalia. Ma Gao was happily in the brothel. The sound of gunfire and peeling roof wall scared away the fat prostitute with bare buttocks. Ma Gao had to leaned against the window and shot himself with a pistol to climax...
This is Yugoslavia, a crazy country. , A crazy era. The story unfolds in this crazy world.
Later, when Ma Gaoshuang found his brother who only knew how to cry with a gorilla in the small square, I watched him pick up the black cat that I didn't know where he picked up, and wiped his shoes like a rag. The black cat barked and barked, and I laughed as I watched it. From then on, I was sure that this is an absurd comedy anti-war movie. If it is not deep, then it is at least funny.
I was only half right.
The movie is really funny from the beginning to the place, and its absurd and exaggerated comedy performance is quite similar to "Journey to the West", especially the scene of the actor Natalia performing on the stage of the Belle Grade Grand Theater, which can almost be moved to the first place. In a typical Stephen Chow movie. Except for Ivan, there is almost no good person among the main characters in the movie. Everyone has no principles. Natalia is a clerical man, Margo is a shameless opportunist and a hypocrite who betrays his friends, and the black boy is not much better. Acting recklessly and stupidly, he accidentally detonated a grenade in a broken box and exploded himself to the ground! Heizi’s band followed him all day long. In addition to playing some disturbing madman music, they would only shout at a critical moment: "It's over, disaster is coming!"
In such a madman plot, The story goes from World War II to the civil war 50 years later.
This is Yugoslavia, what an "interesting" country!
1918-After the First World War, the Serbs, Croats and Slovenes formed a kingdom, and in 29 years it was renamed the Kingdom of Yugoslavia;
1941-The Axis invaded during the Second World War and Yugoslavia disintegrated;
1945-After the war, Tito led the people to rebuild the Yugoslav Democratic League the following year changed its name to the people of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 46 years changed its name to the people of the Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, 63 years and renamed the socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia;
1990 - six election allies, with the exception of Serbia and Montenegro, the former ruling party still in power beyond, Croatia , Slovenia and other four-nation Communist League lost power, political turbulence, and nationalist forces on the rise;
1991-Bosnia and Herzegovina declared independence, the two ethnic groups
of Serbia and Serbia shed blood, and civil war broke out; 1992-Yugoslavia was disintegrated, Serbia and Montenegro were not independent The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was formed; the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina continued until the end of the war in Bosnia and Herzegovina under the intervention of NATO and the United Nations in 1995;
2003-The Federal Republic of Yugoslavia was renamed Serbia and Montenegro, referred to as "Serbia and Montenegro", and the name of Yugoslavia was cancelled;
2006- Montenegro seceded from the federation by a referendum, and Serbia and Montenegro was disintegrated.
Since the founding of Yugoslavia in 1918, the flames of war have never been far from the land on the European Balkan Peninsula, with continuous ethnic disputes and bloodshed. The film’s extremely absurd and weird performance techniques depict a land soaked in blood and tears, a question about national justice that shouldn’t be used to make fun of ridicule. But in the author Dusan Kovacevic's pen, all this is so funny and reasonable. Why is there a war on this land, why is there always a war? Yugoslavia, what are you fighting over?
I didn't grow up in this kind of history. Before this movie, I didn't have the slightest interest in learning about this unlucky place in the Balkan Peninsula. I just want to see how this absurd story goes on. I just think this story is really funny and funny; but I didn’t expect to see that this country is still struggling in the flames of war and Ivan looks like a headless fly. I can’t laugh when the old orangutan hasn't changed for decades, running funny in the old and dirty underground pipes.
"When the brothers fight each other, you know that we are really at war."
At the end of the film, just like the ending of "A Westward Journey", surrealism is a symbol of surrealism. Seeing that perhaps a peaceful land that should have been singing and dancing lifted off the mainland and drifted to the boundless sea of bitterness, my heart was filled with indescribable sorrow. Really, it would be great if all the problems in the world could be solved with money! Pain and hatred no longer sprout from the bottom of my heart. I pierced down the roots, pierced down, and pierced generation after generation. The heart was barren, the home was barren, and the country was barren. Only the flames of war burned on the ruins of the wasteland filled with weeds, and dyed the sky bloody red.
Director Emir Kusturica and playwright Dusan Kovacevic, what kind of traumatic heart is hidden under your absurd cloak? ! This is how intense love and pain can be turned into a story like a devil’s nightmare, even an irrelevant outsider like me, has to follow you and hide his face and cry after laughing wildly...
