will have a Title to express the director's personal characteristics. Why is Kevin Smith named as the "Master of Black Taunt". I have never seen his work. I am puzzled after watching "Human Walrus".

When I saw the introduction of this film, I didn’t think I would think of "Human Centipede" in 2010. Both films also have a crazy and stubborn character who wants to complete themselves by changing the physiological structure of the human body. Crazy dreams. However, the starting points of the two films are quite different. "Human Type Centipede" is a product of a crazy doctor who wants to satisfy his own experimental theory pleasure and sense of accomplishment; the explorer Howe in "Human Type Walrus" is based on the premise that human experiments have been successful many times on the one hand. , Trying to experiment with the true nature of what he expected humanity to show-in order to survive, dignity, shame, and morality can be discarded. On the other hand, he is experimenting and verifying his humanity time and time again, relying on the filth and filth under the real face of decent people such as those well-dressed priests he has suffered in his miserable past, and what he describes as sincere. And the only "Mr. Walrus" friend has lost his humanity after the flesh and blood.
Wallace, the internet communication DJ, captures the hearts of the audience with his humorous style of talking and teasing about life's ridiculous topics, occasionally interspersing with pornographic topics, and absolutely no cold spots. In order to get more show jokes and topics, Wallace left for Canada to interview the idiot who accidentally chopped off his right leg, who had a high click-through rate, and found that the idiot had committed suicide when he arrived there. Run for nothing by yourself. After complaining to Teddy in the H bar, when he was bored, he accidentally discovered the advertising sheet left by Jiahaoer, and then stepped into the horrible nightmare that he would never wake up in his life.
Wallace asked in amazement about the stories of the various furnishings in Jia Hower's house, marveling at how incredible the adventure story Jia Hower told him, but fell into the darkness when he was still thinking about it. And every time he was awake later, it was a moment when he received a more explosive message again. It wasn't until Wallace finally realized that he was kidnapped and imprisoned that he began to cry, anger, and fear, and this fear reached its peak when he learned that he was about to be transformed into a walrus. In this period of Wallace bearing the unbearable weight of his life, interspersed with Jiahaoer’s elegant hand sewing kung fu, self-talking confession and fragments of memories, telling the story of him and "Mr. Walrus" Wallace (and his remnant body) quietly responded with no surprise exclamations and phrases. When "New Wallace" and "New Mr. Walrus" appeared, I didn’t know if the corners of my mouth were pumping up or laughing. The new Mr. Wallace’s walrus was left with sobbing and mourning without words. , And the accusation of eyes. Later, I could only helplessly watch the new Mr. Wallace being tortured by Jiahaoer to become the new Mr. Walrus, learning to swim like a walrus, eat raw fish and live on.
The human nature between Wallace and Jiahaoer broke out, and Jiahaoer made up for the advent of the walrus duel that seemed to be fair. I can be sure that I really laughed this time. The will to survive the two inspired each other. Jiahaoer treacherously and shamelessly ran into the walrus appearance several times in order to survive, and finally got rid of the walrus skin and revealed his original human appearance. All that shows that he is graceful and mourning his best friend Mr. Walrus is just an illusion and rhetoric of high-sounding confession. No matter how many Mr. Walruses he created want to test himself, his humanity will never change here. Wallace's choice was the only suspense I guessed by the viewers in the entire film "Human Walrus", and it was also the subject that the director threw to the viewers at the end of the film. This is what Jiahaoer said to Wallace: "If you lose to me, you will end up with death; if you win against me, you will always live like this walrus."
I must say, I thought Wallace Will choose to die a hundred, just thought. Teddy and Wallace’s girlfriend are getting closer and closer. Wallace should have heard it. If I were Wallace, I would rather die. But Wallace won.
In this duel, Jiahaoer demonstrated the despicable, treacherous, shameless, and hypocritical of human nature. Wallace's final choice showed that the bottom line of human nature is no dignity, shame, only the instinct to survive. In this way, Jiahaoer's unwavering recognition of human nature, what he said to the police detective: "Talents are the most ferocious and cruel animals", so that the humanity pinned on the appearance of the walrus has been verified. Before his death, he was assassinated and smiled contentedly, finally satisfying his conclusion on human nature, and also satisfying his heart of compensation in a disguised form. What a great victory.

In the end of Kevin Smith's mockery, after all, it is not to deny people's worthlessness. The sincerity of the head Howe when he was leaning on O Waly Waly humming by Mr. Wallace’s walrus; when Wallace’s girlfriend said to Wallace, who is a human walrus, I love you, and talked about the difference between humans and animals. It is the tears in the corners of Wallace's eyes when the human-shaped walrus is crying (even though Wallace's girlfriend left the raw fish to draw Wallace out).
There is also "O Waly Waly" put on again at the end of the film: The water is wide, I cannot get over, Neither have I wings to fly, Give me a boat that can carry two, And both shall row, my love and I…… (The river is very wide! I can't cross, and I don't have wings to fly. Please give me a two-person boat and let my love cross the river with me!) Echoing Jiahaoer's humming.

The end credits are very exciting. When the opening listens to Wallace and Teddy making fun of the idiot who chopped off his right leg, the high click-through rate and listening results can prove how many people are making fun of the idiot with them. Even though I can’t understand their laughter because of their extremely fast speech and translation, but at the end of the film, can someone really laugh at the first reaction? I do not believe.
When the story of Wallace was moved to the live web show in the same way at the end of the film, through Wallace and Teddy you continue to come and I teased and laughed, the viewers I (the viewers) never laugh again. come out.
