Four years later, after seeing "Kill Bill", Quentin became the director. I've seen the film directed by him before, which is really "fun" "low speed novel". He is a weird kid who can always surprise people, and makes people tremble so much that he wants to worship for a while.
A complete conviction. From "Born Murderer" to "Kill Bill", Quentin Tarantino is as always. His violence makes people happy, and his movies make people forget about worries.
"Vengeance is the best cold dish." This opening sentence reminds me of the phrase "Killing is a pure thing." Quentin's violent aesthetics are completely American, full of joy and semi-amusement. mean. When we watch "Battle Royale", we see reflection, a heart-wrenching awakening; when we watch "Jingwumen", we see enthusiasm and shame. They are more of using a kind of fighting and collision to reflect some deep pains, cruel understandings about the nation, human nature, and society. We know that each of the murderers is as distorted and miserable as the murdered. And Quentin is obviously not. He will let two murderers shoot and shoot like a game (just like in our imagination, for those who hate but can't shoot them); he will let them two in the Qiaotou blood bond for life. , The white scroll and the silk are floating above the long river, so romantic and beautiful (just like in our imagination, we elope with those who we want to love but dare not love); he will let the male and female killer do evil and get away with it and survive. A lot of children; he will let the killer swear to wash his hands with 24 bullets for the rest of his life; let the female killers have blond and blue eyes; let the blood splash from the neck like a bunch of perfect after the head is cut off The fountain; let each of Uma Thurman's "battle armor" burn a red lotus in full bloom on his chest by the blood of the enemy... Whether it is the white snow behind Liu Yuling, or the song that rang after her death The beautiful "The Flower of Carnage", what we experience in Quentin's movie is more of a pastime, a bloody pleasure, a "sweetness", a moment of "going free", the kind of vitality that rises up. .
This is all related to personal preference. I like Quentin maybe because I’m young, maybe because our life is a gray performance that is too complicated, disorderly, and gentle, maybe because of the scars left by the first hand-to-hand contact with the world... Since the movie is used to create dreams Yes, I hope Tan can make people see the extreme. In life, we will love or be so troubled, sloppy, continuous cutting, and messy. When I watch Quentin’s movies, I find that the world can be so simple, simple people can be so happy, and happy people can be so simple. So cute, they can say to the hateful policeman when they are behind bars: "Do you know what I'm thinking now?" "What?" "Sex!". They can be strong, persistent, and brave enough to find the best saber for their own revenge. There is no lack of money, wanted by the police, and the world becomes a fantasy-like freedom. Whoever loves will marry whoever loves and kill whoever hates. , This is exactly the way of life we want and will never be able to achieve. The reason they say "killing is a pure thing" is because in reality people use various tricks to frame and slander what they hate, and they can't see their own filth. Therefore, we should never complain about the irresponsibility of this sentence and the Nazi complex. As a "movie" audience, we should know what we are doing. We watch the "movie" and dream. Sanmao said, if Mengdu came true, what would the world be like? Measuring reality by the scale of dreams is the same as measuring dreams by the scale of rationality, which is extremely stupid. "Stories are by no means a simulation of life, but a metaphor for story life." The film screenwriter ambassador Robert McGee told us truthfully in his textbook.
Therefore, the censors who condemn violent movies and the criminals who imitate violent movies are actually the same kind of people, they are fools who confuse dreams with reality.
Violence is not advocated by Quentin, but he knows that each of us has a desire to vent it. Catharsis is not a sin. It is a sin to regard catharsis as the most sinful, because everything is ultimately suppressed from the initial stream and eventually accumulates into a flood. And "violent aesthetics" is precisely the most dazzling, coolest and most effective way for mankind to release those "crimes" that have not yet been formed.
From the successful interpretation of Japanese violent aesthetics-saber, samurai spirit, and gloomy sentiment-to the parody of Japanese manga and even old Japanese martial arts movies, we can see the huge absorption and dissolving power of American Hollywood to world culture. From "Titanic" to see that the United States has turned its love to play, from "Scary Island" to see that the United States is turning its horror play, from "Save Nemo" to see that Disney has turned its animation play, from "Kill Bill "Seeing that Hollywood has turned its violent game... a hundred years of experience has formed a powerful offensive for American genre movies. To be honest, we can't resist it. Isn’t it "Kill Bill", I’m willing to watch it again and again. Among the captives of North American fast-food culture, in the depressive catharsis, there is a happy, no, it should be said that it is a crazy mood made by forgetting worry. In the middle, you can pick up the bravery and audacity looming in Wen Tun's life.
Of course it is not to relieve worries, but to forget worries. Use it to chat to forget your worries, although we are still wandering.
