[Spoiler, be careful. 】
There has always been a saying in the market that if you want to provoke contradictions between men and detonate several mines such as money, status, and women, a war is inevitable. It's just coveting the brother's money bag, and then making a secret account for the brother's disgraceful Feihuang Tengda, and then stealing someone to the friend's wife's bed. If there are such abuses, those indestructible relationships will be broken like a piercing. Window paper is so easy. The friends and friends in "Attic" basically have these three conditions. Originally, the relationship was good. It was five good brothers who wore the same pair of trousers. Because the five keys had a loft where they could share secrets, the relationship went even further. As a result, for the women, the five freaks went all the way. Their lives were full of desires, and they finally broke up and parted ways. The five people were conquered into their own destiny.
The first condition is money. It is said that the five members of the luxury gold-collar men's team are organized. They are like this: architect Vincent, network engineer Marty, psychologist Chris, wealthy son-in-law Philip, and Luke, a good man. It's not bad money, but who would think that his money is too hot? Vincent among them is a scheming bitch, showing in all aspects. It was his idea to buy a loft together to engage in extramarital affairs, and there are also high-sounding reasons. There is no hotel record, no credit card bill, and the wife can ventilate each other and avoid the risk of being caught. A lot of beautiful words were said, all for the cost of making an appointment, the five brothers shared it, and it seemed that there was no harm in every way. But once there is a problem, brotherhood can only be divided into five horses. In fact, as the plot continues, you will see Vincent blackmailing Philip's rich father-in-law, Chris intimidates Mr. Mayor, which is related to money, but in the name of his cheating.
The second condition is status. There is no such capital as the diamond king's fifth. These five people are all mature men with family affairs. Except for Luke played by Mi Shuai, the other four have done something in their respective fields. Engaging in extramarital affairs, playing a one-night stand, and looking for a lady are all nonsense. You can play it, but you can’t take it seriously. There is also a consensus that a friend’s wife must not be deceived, and even the family of a friend (such as a younger sister) must not have any thoughts about it. Everyone tried their best to maintain the integrity of their families. The five decent people decided to live a life in a decent attic. This is also the consensus they reached. Even at the beginning, the hesitation and uncertainty of psychiatrist Chris disappointed the other four people. To say that the point of imbalance here comes from Luke. The clues can be seen from the attitude of Fatty Marty and his wife laughing at Luke and his wife. Luke seems to be accustomed to the status and status of being wronged and ignored, coupled with the various emotions that have to be suppressed to care for his sick wife, so that the long-term condescending mentality cannot be vented. When he becomes crazy, it is a catastrophe. NS.
The third condition is a woman. It was the fuse that caused the men's war to break out in "Attic". Indeed, the women in "Attic" are not simple, whether it is a wife or a girl in the pool who is looking for life and death, she still knows the infatuation and absolute latte Xiaomi. The man in "Attic" is also not simple. There is a mixed food variety of Vincent, regardless of meat and vegetables. If you have enough time, you must definitely put your friends' daughter-in-laws in bed and be completely unscrupulous; and even take medicine. They are crazy sadistic; in addition, two kinds of infatuation are arranged. In the play, Maddenden's Chris is really the incarnation of the god of derailment. Vincent is in stark contrast with him, a trivial matter, and a serious one. Even though Vincent was tricked, he still kept the declaration of love to the woman he liked. "We'd better play ambiguously with our sincerity. For this reason, I want to abandon my wife, abandon my son, and leave my family." He did the same, and the ending was "start over again."
Luke is a shocking character. The dignity and hope were destroyed by the wrong woman. The director is quite good at expressing it. Luke's heartbreaking voice only rang in the ears of him and the audience, and the other four brothers in it were heartless. When he arrived, he didn't notice the murderous intention hidden under his self-discipline and indifference. They are all playing happily on their own, but no police officer in the police station has "love". As the two police officers thought, I also thought Luke was a gay brother, because his temperament changed drastically because he couldn't get Vincent.
Speaking of which, I must praise the editing and rhythm of this movie. Fortunately, the film is full of suspense, the rhythm is controlled properly, and the narrative is fully worked hard. The story has also been made into a jigsaw game, just like a roller coaster, with a track that reverses all around. The interface of the track is also flexible enough, not that complicated, and it's okay to justify it. Moreover, the significance of Luke's role will not be revealed in the end, and the same is true for other people. This is a small easter egg.
In short, infighting, catching traitors, and cat and mouse games are all intertwined. Without such a fancy design, the charm of the movie cannot be captured. There is no doubt that the impact of the visual and audio perception concealed the shortcomings of the performance, at least for the time being to forget the sluggish faces complaining about not having afternoon tea. The acting skills are too perfunctory. Of course, maybe I was "slandering" because Mi Shuai didn't play aggressively, and the lines were so pitiful, and everyone else seemed to be polite. Eric, the fat man in the modern family, felt chaotic at first, but he was the most playful. It seemed that Maddenden didn't enter the state until later, and that didn't help. In fact, I have a diabolical imagination. If the last person who fell downstairs was Chris, played by Maddenden, the story behind could actually be continued with a good "suspense film". Eric would not be so obsessed with a story in six years just to make a breakthrough.
However, for serious artists, this attempt must have some special meaning that ordinary people cannot perceive. After filming in 2008 and filming again in 2014, the same director Eric Van Roy, the same story, only exported from Belgium to the United States, apart from commercial interests, think about it, this approach itself is interesting and very joyful. In fact, it seems to me that both films have the height required for filming at the time. For me to compare, the movie "Loft" is like a new Belgian chocolate. It is not as famous as the royal Gaudi, but the taste is still unique and rich in texture. It's just that when designing the characters, the focus is on the complex relationships created by the group play, and the conflicts and contradictions between the main characters are naturally ignored.
Unlike other Hollywood films of the same type, the director of "Attic" did not express a position that the audience could follow, and did not leave room for spectators to comment on. Everything that happened, let it go. Only at the end, the judgment of "who is the real culprit" showed a cautious and objective attitude. It doesn't investigate too many human moral faults, just say that the division of division, the division of union, the attic finally fell into the hands of Vincent alone. Europeans are indeed casual. But in the final analysis, this is still a movie about the world. Love, marriage, friendship, fighting, etc., these flesh and blood highlights are strung together, and what is drawn out is still human nature.
I suddenly thought of the movie "American X Files". The rules of the skinhead party in it were not unusual. They weren't sold in a vengeful way, but they could be recognized by young people in society. In the plot, Norton decides that the prodigal son will turn around after he is released from prison. As a result, his brother becomes a victim, and he can hardly escape bad luck. Talking about the impossibility of washing hands in the golden basin, but this is also the sorrow of "cannot get rid of the sludge after being polluted." "The Break of the Five Tigers" throws the love of the five brothers into the cruel torrent of survival. Huang Rihua is not a treachery against the water. This person's cleanliness and final fortune are obviously causal. No matter how much sentiment and reason the other four people have, they cannot deny that they have already embarked on a path of no return. They broke this ending and existed to preserve a pessimistic idealist. In my opinion, there is still purity.
The rivers and lakes in the movie "Attic" are completely corroded. In my opinion, no role is pleasing to the eye. None of the five brothers is magnanimous, hiding egoism, and all have the survival philosophy of speculators. Formally, it is completely different from the bloody wind above. Not only is there no dark force, but also free from the pressure of survival. Instead, the problem comes from the link of warmth and lust, and the troubles of the richest Belgian in the EU are also revealing. The wayward people in developed areas can't afford to play.
But it gave me a very peculiar impression. The rivers and lakes here are too close to real life. It can almost be fake. The romantic affairs related to love and marriage are finally buried in the ugly evil of human nature, and have nothing to do with love and romance. What I saw was a fight after the interests were damaged, the friendship collapsed, the alliance disintegrated, the knife was hidden in the smile, and there was no trust at all. It's very worrying to see people from being stunned into being a bird and beast, and even a cold arrow that hurts one's self and preserves oneself.
