It must be admitted that I put the disc into the computer with some lust.

The reasons are very good: 1. The basic plot of the story is that the girl grew up in the shadow of being sexually assaulted by her childhood and became a maniac (I prefer to call it a sex addict, because apart from her boyfriend, she basically only needs men. (Limited to the lower body), a black elder confined him to heal his psychological and physical diseases, and finally used music to teach him; second, the film was rated R; third, the only film review that I had seen before was titled "U.S. Upgraded Version" Shipei Desire"; 4. The film is called "Black Snake Moan", there are S and M, and the girl on the poster of the film is wrapped in chains with bare shoulders and legs; 5. The starring Christian Ritchie is a dare to act. Odd woman.

As a result, eroticism is just a shot of the film's vain. Both the early assault and the later promiscuity were handled very vaguely and quickly passed; although the heroine didn’t wear much, but the chance to take off was even less; Richie lost weight in order to look like a girl who stumbled, except for her eyes. In Buffalo 66, everything else is almost reduced; even the gimmicky iron chain only played the role of tying a dog, which is very different from the rope in Romance. It's easy to wait for Xiao Nizi to become ill in the middle of the night, and she wraps the chain in a decent way. This time, Anxi has to symbolically rub it twice even if she is not DIY. As a result, she stared into the sky with her big watery eyes.

Fortunately, people have five senses. This time I left my eyes cold, but I was full of blessings. The first time I came into contact with blues seriously, I was moved by this emotional music many times. First was the shocking desolation of the theme music "The Scream of the Black Snake", the band performance in the middle section of the tavern filled every pore with joy, and finally Richie's slightly green and hoarse singing, and "Buffalo 66" The tap dance here has the same effect, a kind of purity hidden under heavy makeup; especially the guitar background music that is like a magical brush, such as weeping, and every time it sounds, it is touching. Young.

As for the film as a whole, in the words of a certain magazine, it means "nothing but music", in the words of Beifei, it is Wen Tun. The story is a good story, and the pavement is in place, but it came to a halt at a critical moment. The expected conflict and climax have never come, which is unpleasant. It was really a waste of the two actors of Jackson and Rich.

The only thing that feels a bit interesting is that in this redemption PK game, God lost to the Blues. The black man played by Jackson is a devout believer. At first, he used the Bible to preach, in exchange for Xiao Nizi’s ×@#¥%... Then he asked a pastor to teach her to confess, but was asked, “Is it right? I'm sorry and I'll be fine." And when the old man picked up the dusty guitar and gathered his old friends to sing the blues that was regarded as the "sweet sound", this nymphomaniac girl really bloomed happily. It can be seen that for most lay disciples who can't get rid of the seven emotions and six desires, the metaphysical emptiness and brain are mostly used to show off their taste, but the metaphysical stimulation that stimulates the senses can be more physical and spiritual responses. Therefore, there are always more people who like movies and music than religion and philosophy; even a student who once majored in legal sociology and legal philosophy will still see it in a movie with the theme of salvation. He thumped his chest without the erotic lens.



It’s a dull movie, but after all, it’s the only time I watched a full movie seriously in the past two or three months, besides revisiting "Chicago" and spending money to watch "Transformers", "Ha Five", and "The Sun". Talk about it for encouragement.
