"Hunting" is a movie with a sensitive core. Although it is carefully concealed with a comedy form and popular action style, it is indeed different from a simple no-brained battle royale movie, just like "Joker". , It tries to express some opinions by touching the bottom line of many people. Regardless of whether the audience can get these ideas that are spread throughout the film or not, the film’s bright narrative rhythm and level of humor and action scenes are also enough to make the audience. Get enjoyment.
1. Hunting storm
I paid attention to the film "Hunting" a long time ago. I just watched the trailer on the tubing at the beginning. I felt that this kind of hunting theme was in line with my appetite, but there was no news about the release. As a result, just a few months ago, the film was suddenly set, and the bombardment of news let me know how difficult it was for this film to be released. "Hunting" was originally scheduled for September last year, but after the start of the promotional period, the content of the movie caused dissatisfaction among many people, especially the elite group. After all, the general content of the movie is a game of the white elite, which is hunting the lower class people. Such naked accusations will undoubtedly make many elites feel uncomfortable. No matter whether they really discriminate against ordinary people, if this movie is released, it will inevitably push them to the forefront. Under this circumstance, Trump even tweeted his own hand-to-hand combat.
Of course, all of this is definitely not caused by just a movie. The American elite and ordinary people have long been grieving with the left and the right. "Hunting" is just stepping on the oil barrel that is about to explode. Under this circumstance, the release of the hard-top storm is obviously out of season, so the release date of this movie has been pushed back and forth, and now we can finally get a glimpse of the true nature of this movie.
2. Cat and mouse games
The story, as we thought, began with a group of people who looked like the upper class hunting for a group of groups that looked more "extensive". Under a series of killing traps and pursuits, our perspectives of attention were constantly changed. We thought The female protagonist was headshot in an instant, and the companion who looked like the male protagonist was also blown to pieces before long. A group of three people who looked not far away was naturally unresisted and beaten by the couple in a fancy manner. Until this time, our heroine debuted for the first time and quickly completed a counter-kill. From this moment on, the role of hunting and being hunted down gradually became blurred. Gary recognized the rich man posing as a refugee and completed a single kill. Then he was killed by the rich man posing as the U.S. Embassy, and then this man went on. Seen through by the heroine, the heroine and Tang Chengsheng’s pursuit almost brought the elite group together, but under Athena’s words, the heroine and Tang Xin had a rift, and the heroine who killed Queen Tang came to the "Manor", and began and finally Athena. Duel.
Even if all the "political factors" in the plot are discarded, the film is very pleasing to the eye. At the beginning of the game, our perspective is almost reversed. Every character that we gradually become familiar with quickly hangs up. After the heroine appears The three groups of disguised players that were met each gave the plot a suspenseful color, so that she finally had doubts and killed Tang, and from the assault elite’s bunker to the manor decisive battle, the more intense action elements undoubtedly made her The movie is full of popcorn. Of course, all this is also attributed to Betty Gilpin’s excellent performance and role setting. Unlike those prey who have no brains, the heroine is thinking hard almost from the beginning, looking for a way out of the game, and quickly To complete the role transition from prey to hunter, to have such an IQ online, resolute, hard-talking female protagonist is more pleasing than those who only scream and are full of hearts.
3. Funny sides
Although the movie did create a sharp antagonism between the rich hunter and the keyboard man’s prey, the rich people’s casual ridicule was added to the imagination by the keyboard man, and the elites who were hit by this began to make these keyboard man "dreams" "True" revenge, but we can't empathize with any side except for an innocent heroine. White-collar elites, sitting on large sums of wealth and enjoying a high life, are dismissive of those "lower people" in their hearts. They are full of benevolence, morality, and political correctness, but in fact they are inconsistent and they do not understand the lives of ordinary people. , I also make fun of the suffering of ordinary people. All they care about is their own happiness and vested interests. And the group of captured "prey" does not deserve our sympathy either. Seemingly innocent, they actually use the guise of "free speech" to spit out fragrance, wanton rumors, and conspiracy theories on the Internet. The heroine, on the contrary, has become an "observer" who can see the funny behavior on both sides. An old woman who lacks common sense to find change is wrong; firmly believes that there are Gary who pretends to be refugees and elites who really play refugees in the manor game, training reserve soldiers of the rich, but close combat is a big rookie, fighting life and death. I still miss Athena, a famous wine salvaged in the deep sea...Two waves of people who never met are forced to gather together on such an occasion, and then we discover that there is actually no real kind or righteous side that puts people together. The skin is uncovered, everyone is equally ugly.
On the other hand, countless times in the film involved various politically correct topics, global warming, racial discrimination, refugees, homosexuality, cyber violence, gun control, AIDS... But not even once, these topics were discussed in depth. Often they are just topics that are thrown out to make a laugh, and I think this may be the feeling that the director is trying to show. Those elites keep repeating these politically correct words, but their behavior is very different because they are very contemptuous in their hearts. These things, the lives of these people, an insignificant life in their eyes, are probably not as valuable as a pig wearing clothes.
4. The tortoise and the hare
The heroine and Athena, as prey and hunter, each of them has a story, or it should be called a fable. The story of the heroine crystal is the story of the tortoise and the hare. The rabbit runs fast, the tortoise runs slow, the rabbit stops to sleep, but oversleeps, the tortoise wins the game. Tortoise said that I was able to win because I never gave up and persevered with Barabara’s chicken soup. If the story only ends here, it is just a fairy tale. But the rabbit arrived at the turtle’s house at night, killed the turtle’s family in front of the turtle, and ate up the turtle’s dinner. Because the rabbit always wins. And because of this, the pride possessed by those in high positions cannot be destroyed. The keyboard men pulled the elites down from the altar, so the elites also used this to retaliate. Similarly, driving away in a car seems like It is possible to escape from birth, but this is also the rabbit's failure. Failure is not tolerated by the rabbit. So even if the tortoise escapes by chance, the rabbit's revenge will follow.
5. Animal farm
Athena, there is another story, "Animal Farm" by George Orwell. Of course she did not tell this story, but she did name the heroine crystal "Snowball". Snowball is a pig in "Animal Farm". Mr. Jones forgot to feed the animals one day, so the animals broke out in revolution and occupied the farm. Snowball is an idealistic ruler. It leads the animals to defeat the enemy and gain A good harvest, but another pig named "Napoleon" began to secretly destroy everything that Snowball manages. Through slander and slander, it drove Snowball out of the manor.
Therefore, Crystal is also very puzzled. According to this, Athena should think that Crystal's remarks will bring down the successful elite group from the altar. Therefore, Athena should be an idealistic snowball that ultimately failed. Crystal is The evil Napoleon. Undoubtedly, Athena turned it around, which is also the source of her failure.
She named Crystal after quoting from a classic book, and she was proud of herself. However, Crystal broke through these metaphors in her words. She thought that she could wipe out these keyboard men like a snowball, but she He even found the wrong target for revenge. Just as Tang asked after hearing the story of the tortoise and the hare: "Who is the hare? They or us." The hare will always win. But if she reverses her role and thinks that she is a tortoise that can take advantage of the hare's carelessness to win, then she will eventually fail. Athena gave Crystal her identity as her "snowball". Then it was originally a tortoise crystal, but it became a rabbit unknowingly. The role of hunter and prey has been changed in this way. So the rabbit got into the tortoise's plane, ate their dinner, dove occupied the magpie's nest, drank snow champagne, and feasted on caviar.
