Karen Kusama's "Feast of Revenge" (2016), a seemingly high-end dinner, stirs up a pot of steaming mala Tang, a bit horrified, a bit inexplicable, and a bit weird. . Will took his black girlfriend Gila to a dinner invited by his ex-wife Eaton. He and his ex-wife have not seen each other for two years. What will happen to each other, Will has been worried.
With this kind of anxiety, Will accidentally drove into a mountain coyote. In order to reduce the wolf's pain, he hit hard with a wrench to make the wolf die sooner. A strange sense of mystery is embedded at the beginning of the film. Will meets his ex-wife Eaton, who is dressed in a sexy dress, and her current husband David. There are also a bunch of old friends such as Gina, Claire, Miguel, Tommy, and Ben, as well as new friends of the Eaton couple, such as Saidi and Rupt.
David is very active. He opened the 85-year-old Rothschild red wine worth 8 million US dollars and toasted to celebrate the gathering of old and new friends. Hope everyone has a new start. David's "Transcendence of the Soul Mutual Aid Group" hopes that everyone can clear up the bad emotions in the body and be free from grief. It's easier said than done.
What Will is concerned about is that there are a lot of medicines like phenobarbital in Eaton’s room, and the windows are sealed, and red candles are lit in the mansion’s courtyard. Let’s look at people like David, especially those from Mexico. The coming Seddy, skinny, sticking his tongue out in front of the mirror, like a vampire, made Will fall into a more horrified state of mind. Eaton kept telling Will that I walked out of the incident two years ago, and I hope you will come out too.
It turned out that two years ago, Will and Eaton were a loving couple. It was only because of their son Tay that he died unexpectedly because of his lax supervision. This caused them both to fall into infinite self-blame and regret. After the breakup, Will used travel to save his soul that was on the verge of collapse. Eaton used the so-called spiritual detachment therapy to clear bad emotions and return to a peaceful life.
I didn't believe Eaton's detachment psychotherapy, and I slapped her. The good show is yet to come. David showed them a video, which was a video of their training at the Solana Transcendence Training Camp in Mexico. A woman on the verge of death was comforted by the master of transcendence and successfully passed the threshold of death and stepped into paradise. But this doesn't match the atmosphere of the feast. David then proposed to transcend a new realm and come to a "I want" game, so that everyone can talk about their heart, so that bad emotions can be told.
Gina, an Asian woman, is very active and said I want some cocaine. The old man Ruput said that his wife was a painter, gentle and virtuous, and his husband and wife had a strong relationship. However, because he was drunk once and ruined everything, his wife prevented him from drinking any more. He was knocked down by the irrational him, hit his head and died. Died. He was immersed in pain. After going to jail, he was fortunate to be able to walk out of the shadows with the help of transcendence and mutual assistance. He claimed to be a calm person now.
Eaton said I wanted to kiss Ben, and Ben Ruyi would kiss her. If David had nothing to do, Will found it absurd. Lady Claire couldn't look directly at it, and she wanted to leave, crying out of discomfort. Of course Ben was content and said jokingly not to talk to my wife Amanda. Will hoped that Claire would not leave. David pretended to be gracious and said it was okay, you can go.
Will looked out from the window. The old man Rupt went out to reverse the car and told Claire to drive out. After that, he shouted "Claire" as if he had something to say, but David blocked Will’s sight and didn’t see Claire driving out. . Will, who feels weird, has always loathed David's cult-like tricks. Especially the woman from unknown origin, Sadie, took the initiative to go to him, which made him even more frightened. Also, Korean Choi called him, claiming to have been here long ago, but could not get in.
Furious, he finally went wild, saying that this was a scam and a conspiracy. All of what you did made people uneasy, and there was no cell phone signal. After that, he was going to take Gila to leave, but then Cui actually entered the house. It seemed that Will's fear was purely unnecessary, and he apologized for it.
But are these tricks really reliable? The ending fell into an old-fashioned drama. David, Rupt and Sadie were completely exposed. Except for Will, his girlfriend and Tommy's brave self-help, everyone else died from their shooting, including Eaton who believed in David. The ending No accident, but bloody.
What is the evolution of the matter and where is the truth? From the beginning to the end of the film, it seems to play a weird and lost fist routine. It is deliberately too obvious to form a chain of evidence of natural evolution. Pieces and sculpting are the twin brothers of all bad films. It seems that the film wants to control the rhythm and let players like David go on, but it stops abruptly. The light and shadow of out of control seem to have not finished the last mile, which is regrettable. However, the atmosphere created by the film as a whole still has a lot of brilliance.
Only death can redeem life, and the belief that collapses like death enters the kingdom of heaven is originally the moon in the water, and salvation is invisible. The so-called feast of revenge was originally just a few people who have been tortured physically and mentally. After going through the changes, they each went to a more broken life. Self-healing is just an illusion. Once it is touched, it will rekindle. This is the true irreversible life. This is also the complexity and unpredictable subtlety of human nature.
Life is the same as the four seasons that come and go, winter, spring, summer and autumn. The panacea to soothe the soul has become lackluster. The best way to heal his injuries is just a cloud of chicken soup, waking up overnight, and still getting back to its original shape. The real life is so mysterious, just as Lao Tzu said, "the door of the many wonderful, the mysterious and the mysterious".
