Man from hell

Jack likes to compare himself to a tiger, and the victim to a lamb. In fact, in the seemingly cruel law of the jungle, the lamb has the right to spot danger and escape in time. In modern society, morality is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people. He relies on his own IQ and others' obedience to morality to kill uncontrollably, and the tiger's killing of lambs for survival are completely two concepts.

Jack is an sm lover, an extreme self-interested person who believes in solipsism without feelings-to obtain pleasure through sadism, and completely treat others as tools to satisfy his own desires.

From the dialogue between Jack and the messenger, we can see that there is a strong interest in art, but art itself is created by humans and contains human emotions. As a non-human being, how can Jack experience the true beauty of art? His love for art, I'm afraid this is stuck on the surface-a kind of order or exquisiteness. Therefore, he can never really feel the enthusiasm of the artist's heart, and he can never design an architectural work that satisfies him, is as admirable and cleverly conceived as a Gothic church-even if he knows a lot of With knowledge of building materials and design principles, he can only use the spoils to build a corpse house that can hold his body. His fascination with mowing seems to be just because of his pursuit of absolute order. The connection between him and the so-called art seems to be mainly due to the obsessive-compulsive disorder that has plagued him.

I hope the audience will put moral aside when watching this movie. At least most people, in extreme anger, have hoped that the other party will disappear or even kill the other party immediately, and the director chose to unreservedly or even deliberately magnify these evil thoughts and show them in front of the audience. While the picture causes discomfort, we should also reflect on those ugly moments in life and imagine the consequences of these ideas if they are realized.

Of course, it can also be understood as a sci-fi movie --- telling about the experience of a man from another world (hell) in the world. It feels like a terminator.

For directors and actors, I think there is nothing to criticize. 1. People engage in film art in a down-to-earth manner. This is a sincere work that is not routine and does not aim to collect money. 2. People did not instigate or glorify violence. Instead, they exposed the violence in front of you to arouse your discomfort. 3. In fact, the director is also telling you a fact from the perspective of God: no matter what the fucking three weird views you have, you live in this society, breathe the air of this society, and enjoy the benefits of this society. You have to obey the rules of society. If you fucking do something anti-social and anti-human every day, you will have to be discovered by the police one day, and then you will be sent to the hometown of hell where you should go.

The director did reveal a kind of narcissism of "My thoughts are so peculiar and awesome" in this film, but I actually like this kind of thing-as long as you really have something .

Another: 1. This film has seriously aroused my interest in European films, and this director has already attracted my attention. 2. I heard that this film also includes the director’s interpretation of the Nazis’ views in another film of his own. I think of Hitler when I think of Nazis. The university teacher mentioned that Hitler killed Jews without blinking his eyes, but he could because A little bird shed tears when he died, thinking that this shows the contradiction of human nature. But I think this is not a contradiction, it is just because in his non-mainstream values, the value of a Jew is far less than the value of a bird. I learned that Hitler likes to plant trees and loves nature. From the perspective of the earth, Hitler may be the best candidate if he has to be taken care of by humans; but from the perspective of humans, Hitler is absolutely anti-human and must be defeated. How to judge whether a person is evil, in fact, mainly depends on the definition of evil. From this point of view, value judgment is really difficult.

    Similar to the female addict's routine, obsessive-compulsive disorder shows the details of the protagonist's thinking, tries his best to refine the words of the lines, and describes the scene as detailed as a due diligence report. The film expresses the director's views on art, and the film itself is a very good work of art. The ending song uses the Ray Charles hit Hit the Road Jack, echoing the actor's name.

    Russ' ultimate fantasy about his relationship with Bergman. The creation is more clumsy, but it is also more candid. The repeated "skillful" forms and "provocative" methods can no longer be jaw-dropping. Under the sequence of "huge" previous works, this "small" work is more of its own external appearance. A summary of the world's cognitive concepts (film, aesthetics, religion, philosophy, gender perspective, modern media, etc.), a "reflexive" biography of potential people & behaviors, one that doesn't need to exist (we are already familiar with his images) s work. Lazy humor is actually a state of mind, watching him "build" his "house", maybe this is the last corpse, and we accompany him to witness this completion ceremony. Looking up at heaven and entering hell with childlike doubts and curiosity, he went to a place where the elder (Bergman) had never arrived. Maybe he never longed to cross the "Styx", but only wanted the "perfection" of "self-destruction" journey.
