The revelation of decadent violence

The day before yesterday, I watched Sister Zhao's highly recommended No U-turn. Although it is not a new film, it is worth my strong recommendation.


People say that the scenery implies a certain personality, and the environment itself has a story. The hot and smelly town in "No U-turn" is the ruthlessness of the desert, coupled with the prickly hands of cacti, and the viciousness of bald eagles.

The crime of father-daughter adultery; the false face of the police; the rotten teeth of the car repairer; the little gangster looking for troubles, when he ate Sean Penn's ticket, he ate the only hope in this story full of errors. Smash the glass against the TV, or jump up like Sean Penn, and beat the fashionable TNT bastard.

Although the person played by Sean Penn is not a good thing, compared with this small town, it is like a small gangster falling into a big cesspit. His car broke down on the road and went to the town to repair it. From then on, bad luck began. He was well-dressed when he entered the town. By the end of the movie, he broke his arms and legs, he had a bandage on his head, and his mouth had no teeth. He was shot with blood from head to toe, like a broken sieve. .

Completely unlucky. Buying a beer in town will break the bottle and pierce your hands, not to mention the daughter and wife of the wicked.

Sean Penn's acting skills don't need to be wordy anymore. He is born a little evil and evil, which makes people hate and sympathize. Every time I see him being soft-hearted to the beauty, I can’t wait to yell with his ears: Kill her! She will kill you sooner or later! !

The beauty Jeniffer Lopez plays the role of beauty, which is many times more appropriate than her image of truth, goodness and beauty in "Invasion of Brain Cells". Under the scorching sun, a long dress with big eyes, red lips, black hair and healthy legs will cost life for everything, not to mention the provocative combination of these things. The wild temptation of the small town, beautiful and dangerous like boulders and cacti under the scorching sun.

Director Oliver Stone mobilized all means in broad daylight to pour all the bad luck on a small gangster, forcing him to step into violence step by step. Every seemingly ordinary event turned into a sudden turn, causing the man's destiny to take a sharp turn. The director is also testing the audience's stamina, to see how long you can watch the crime last, and to see how much you can withstand the pressure.

This meticulously choreographed serial narcotics story, it should be said that it has achieved its purpose, at least I was almost driven by it. Especially the DVD discs I bought are fakes, almost every picture will explode into mosaic fragments in front of my eyes, and even the subtitles will be blown to nothing.

The movie successfully aroused my violent consciousness and hatred of the world. The kind of small person who faced the anger of the huge cannibal machine wanted to smash the disc with a sledgehammer, and then let me watch this movie smoothly. People pushed down from the roof alive! Just like in the movie, pushing the big life down the cliff in the bright sunshine.

In fact, there is no need to go to such wild places to find excitement. If you encounter a series of bad things in your daily life, it will be enough to make people crazy. I dreamed of being chased and killed by an enemy all night, and the next day I was dizzy and had a headache, my eyes were dark, my hair slept like a mushroom, a cloud like a cheap wig, I was in a traffic jam, I was late for work, I was called by my boss to scold and confess it was impossible to complete. Project, abusive colleagues grabbed your credit and hit your short report...

At noon, I finally escaped to eat fast food. The store is playing your most annoying song. It is hard to find a seat and the waiter makes you stand up because "The light is broken, I need to fix it." Finally, when I waited for the seat near the toilet, I found the sour men and women next to me chatting "brother when I was in England"...

and then fled. I ran to shop and found that I didn’t bring any money. I ran to withdraw the money. The ATM broke again. I ran to the bank and was waiting in a long line. It was finally your turn. At this time, I wanted to grab a tomato and threw it on her gluttonous face. With a scream, I watched the bright red soup slowly flow down...ah, finally let out the pleasure.

This movie is like such a bad day, except that every encounter is about violence, and in the end there is no end to the corpses.

It seems that this is the first time I have watched Oliver Stone's movie. I have no impression of the previous "Field Platoon" and "Born to Murderer". He used almost cold calmness, bright colors to create sensory pleasure, and violent incidents to bring psychological hatred. From the beginning to the end, the two were dangerously intertwined, step by step, pushing people's emotions to a dead end, until he could no longer turn around.
