Why does the hair keep growing?
Hair is also a part of the human body, but people cut it off and throw it away with trash.
It is said that after death, the hair will continue to grow for a while. Is it because it has not yet realized the departure of the soul?
...
Ed Crane is a silent hairdresser, smoking calmly, crossing the road calmly, and treating his wife's affair calmly. This is the helpless tragedy of a little man. He is calm, plain, dull and dull, even a little numb and indifferent. We don't know Ed's past. He seems to have no other relatives, no parents, no brothers, no sisters, and no friends. He has only one wife, and basically has no communication or communication; he has an uncle, but he is just a partner in the barbershop. His wife gave him a green hat, and he was half painful. His wife died, and he never shed a tear for her. My uncle was crazy, he immediately worked normally, looking for a new assistant.
Ed. Just a person. I have always been a person. Even when I was looking for a piano teacher for Birdy later, I thought he might just want to place his enthusiastic hopes on others, while he was still an ordinary person behind his back.
Instigated by a customer to join the dry cleaning industry, he blackmailed the owner of a department store who had an affair with his wife. After being found out, he joined hands and killed him. Then things slid to the other end of the unpredictable. The wife was accused of murder because of the unexplainable death of her boss. Ed. asked for a lawyer to mortgage the property. On the day of the trial, the wife hanged herself in jail. Thinking that the matter would end there, but because of the death of a partner in the dry cleaning business, he was accused. Ed. became the mastermind behind the murder of the boss by his wife. He was finally sent to the electric chair and ended his life. Before getting on the electric chair, someone helped Ed. fix his leg hair. The background is white. The hairdresser sits on the electric chair and the others kneel to serve him. Is it the end after the experience is complicated or the fate restarts after the reality? The barber finally accepted everything silently, with a dull and harsh expression.
The irony is that there are not many words, the extremely low-key Ed. whole piece of non-stop narration, under the silent face, the repeated jumps of mental activity, it is embarrassing.
The film is a black-and-white film made by the Coen brothers in 2001, but I watched the unconverted color version. The effect is also good. The color tone is gloomy and cold, and the white light is fierce, just like the protagonist's stiff and depressed expression. I think if it turns into black and white, maybe it can express the comical and bizarre reality better.
The film uses Beethoven's piano music in many places, and the enthusiasm in the impression does not match the film. The movies are all Beethoven’s piano sonatas, which are peaceful, slow, peaceful and kind. Just like the tone of the film, calmly escape.
BTW: Billy Bob Thornton played really well. He looked plain and dry, stubborn but weak. It was almost the real prototype of a barber. The downside is that his haircutting skills do not seem to be a good hairdresser.
Second B: The literal translation of the film should be "The Absent Person", which seems more appropriate and realistic.
