As a movie released abroad during the epidemic, "Hunting" is of a special nature, not to mention Trump's naming criticism, which casts a mystery on this film: the so-called more banned, the more famous it is. Today, the popularity of the Internet has become a law.
The story begins in an online chat. The background music is a passionate symphony. The content of the chat ranges from joke pictures to complaints about the boss, and then to the sensitive vocabulary of "Manor Hunting", revealing two basic information:
First, the life of the chatter is elegant, but he is not satisfied with his work and his own circumstances;
Second, they clearly discriminate against people (poor people) and look forward to "hunting."
Looking at the beginning part, it is easy to fall into the trap of the screenwriter, and regard it as a survival movie similar to "The Hunger Games" or a bloody killing movie similar to "Human Skin Inn". However, it is actually not that simple.
The movie buried a lot of "thunder" and exploded as soon as it was stepped on.
1. "Battle Royale" Survival Guide
There are few extra plots in the movie, and it goes directly to the main topic at the beginning: "hunting".
Compared with those cabin passengers whose snacks are all "caviar", the fate of others is not so lucky.
(1) Watching it become the best policy
Randy, the first to wake up, was knocked out without knowing the status quo. The main mistake he made was that he was not alert enough.
First of all, when you wake up in a strange environment, you must watch carefully even if you are fully awake; second, a lot of strangers, even if they believe in the theory of "kindness", they must be honest with each other through in-depth communication; finally, the plot needs cannon fodder, no How do blood spurts and eyeballs attract the audience?
(2) Don't regard yourself as the protagonist
The woman with eyes open on the grass has the potential to be the protagonist: she is silly, white and sweet, she has a great body, and occasionally finds important clues (keys), so she's just a handsome male protagonist.
Sure enough, the screenwriter did not disappoint. The original handsome guy gave it one, not only handsome, but also the demeanor of leading the crowd to break the siege.
When you are saying: Ah, it turned out to be a story of a tough guy who broke out of the siege and embraced the beauty. The screenwriter shot, and completed a headshot, scored a blood, the beauty was killed, and the handsome guy was sprayed with blood.
Well, the plot suddenly got a little bit fierce.
But the handsome guy is still holding two guns, hope...
Sorry, your expectation balance is insufficient, and the handsome guy stepped on the thunder and was blown to pieces.
Later, the screenwriters repeatedly teased the audience through the death of the "quasi-protagonist". Yes, this group of perverts are publicly teasing. Among them, they experienced the machine gun man and the four-member team of chicken eaters. When you think of the next plot They will become extremely brave, and as a result, they are more anxious than each other.
Until the real protagonist of the movie comes on stage.
(3) It is important to find the right direction
The heroine made her debut for the first time, using her homemade compass to identify her position by the small pond.
After that, she disappeared on the screen for a long time, until you hardly remember where she appeared. Then, you hold your breath to see how she enters the hunter’s trap and expect her to be shot by a shotgun. sieve.
As a result, the screenwriter began to counter-routine again.
Because, although the heroine looks weak, she has superb anti-reconnaissance capabilities, cool action fighting skills, and hardcore means of killing all the way to the end without talking nonsense.
As a result, the two pretenders in the convenience store did not figure out the situation, they were counter-killed, and they were also being cleaned up.
Therefore, it is especially important to find the right direction.
2. The threat of "Hollywood" fans
"This movie was made to incite and cause chaos. Hollywood itself created violence but blamed others on them. They are true racists and are very bad for our country!"
Focus on ——
Trump tweeted on the movie "The Hunt".
"Causing chaos", "creating violence", and "racist", a series of terminology can be described as crisis-ridden, as if this movie has the power to overthrow the country, so what the movie says makes the president of the United States unable to sit still. ?
(1) "Elites" and "Poor People"
Let's first take a look at the "elite" in the movie.
They have wealth, prestige, and countless social resources, and have a strong appeal and great influence in all walks of life. They are called elites without disagreement.
In their eyes, AIDS is a serious matter, the "abortion law" needs to be revised, the climate warming problem is getting more and more serious, the term black is essentially discrimination, and humanitarianism is always on the lips...really elite The Virgin of the world has contracted all justice in the world and made great contributions to the peaceful development of mankind. Under their leadership...
Wait a minute, something feels wrong.
These politically correct "elites" enjoy killing very much. Not only do they enjoy the killing, they also use insulting terms to address their prey.
This was originally a disrespect for human rights. They even misinterpreted "killing" as a right granted by the constitution, and its essence lies in the profound social contradiction: the excessive gap between the rich and the poor leads to serious class divisions.
"Poor people" represent people who are struggling to survive at the bottom of society. Their survival and destruction are trivial jokes in the eyes of the elite.
This kind of class differentiation is actually not difficult to understand: but when you came back from farm work covered in mud, and suddenly you were invited to a luxury car by a certain program to experience the comfortable air-conditioning in the car, a hint of discomfort appeared on the face of the car owner. The stiffness of twisting muscles and barely smiling.
This is also the gap between classes-inequality of the material basis and psychological imbalance.
In this way, the US government is most worried about advocacy and incitement in the ideological field. After all, this is the reality. The gap between the rich and the poor, class differentiation, and all contradictions are on the verge of breaking out, not to mention the straightforward and naked form of expression like the movie.
(2) Keyboard Man and Violence
The Internet gives people a great hidden identity: they can hang on top of their own accord.
Because you can never see if there is a wretched uncle hidden behind a cute girl's head.
Just like this, Keyboard Man can unscrupulously attack their enemies, and the enemy is all people in the real world-regardless of high or low.
There is no shortage of joys and sorrows in the world, and there is no shortage of people watching the excitement. When encountering people who jumped off the building, I am afraid that others have not jumped off and cannot make a video with high click-through rate. The picture becomes extremely magical.
Back to the movie, the records of the elite group chats were picked up by the screen names. Sensitive words such as "manor", "hunting", and "poor man" caused public outrage in a class society with many contradictions. The keyboard men acted in justice The principle of not being afraid of big things, guided by public opinion, obscured the truth of the incident, and confirmed the "fact" of the elite killing people for entertainment, and ruined the elite's life with cyber violence.
Here, you can feel the strong black humor and irony.
First of all, the poor people the elites ridiculed use words to destroy their proud life; secondly, the truth that the keyboard guys are struggling to find is created by themselves; finally, this is a joke The tragedy caused.
3. The cryptic truth about "tortoise, rabbit and pig"
(1) The tortoise and the hare
When the movie is halfway through, through the mouth of the heroine, it tells us a realistic version of the tortoise and the hare:
"That rabbit is a bastard, because he always brags about himself, saying that no one runs faster than him, that's true, because the rabbit is a winner in every competition, and all the animals in the forest have to endure him, day after day. On Sunday, the bastard always wanted to participate in the competition, just to emphasize his status, so the tortoise thought, “What’s wrong, I’ll try.” The rabbit smiled and said, “Okay, it’s going to be very interesting. Let’s compare One game', when the game started, the rabbit rushed out instantly, without seeing the rabbit shadow, he left the tortoise far behind him, of course, because the rabbit is always the winner, but he wants to increase the drama and make the battle look more intense , So he stopped and took a nap, but he didn't expect that he slept for so long. When he finally woke up, he knew he was finished. The rabbit chased at full speed, but it was too late and the tortoise crossed the finish line first. Line, the audience was all excited and cheered."
Seeing this, this is still the story of the tortoise and the hare we are familiar with, but--
"At night, when the tortoise was eating with his family, he told his little tortoises how he succeeded,'Never give up, I keep crawling forward, and you can overcome everything.' It was the rabbit. He was holding a hammer. He killed his wife and children first, so that the tortoise would have to watch them die, and then it was his turn. After the tortoise’s family were smashed into pieces, the rabbit sat Come down and eat their dinner without a bite left, because the rabbit is always the winner."
Behind the success is not only sweat, but also blood.
This realistic version of the story of the race between the tortoise and the hare is thought-provoking in the second half. The victory of a tortoise was originally very inspirational, but it ultimately killed a family, so sometimes success is not necessarily a good thing.
In the movie, there is no direct notification of who is the tortoise and who is the hare.
① Open line: the elite is the rabbit, the poor man is the tortoise
The "Keyboard Man" pulled back a round for the poor man in the network war and won a short victory. There is no doubt that they were the winners of that contest. In the cheers of the crowd, the elites were regarded as thorns and thorns. Under the pressure of public opinion, they Losing their job and honor, they took the "hammer" in their hands and killed the "Keyboard Man" (turtle) one by one.
② Dark line: The heroine is a rabbit, and the elite is a tortoise
In this game, the heroine is a special existence-she is not a "keyboard man". The information collection mistakes of the elites caused them to catch a rabbit for themselves: soldiers who participated in the war.
As a result, the whole story took a turning point. The elites were completely wiped out. The heroine (rabbit) killed all the elites (tortoises) and sat at their dining table to eat breakfast.
The rabbit that appeared in the movie after the violent fight between the two women is the finishing touch.
(2) Snowball is a pig
The codename given to the heroine by the elites is "Snowball".
"Snowball" comes from the novel "Animal Farm" by George Orwell and is the name of a pig.
"Snowball" was agile and full of wisdom, and was an idealist, but was later driven out of the farm by "Napoleon" with a strategy, and there has been no news ever since.
The elites use "animals" to symbolize "poor people" and think that it is ridiculous that they use the Internet to target themselves, just like the revolution in the "Animal Farm". To kill them is to stifle a revolution against the elite class.
However, the lofty attitude of the elites made them feel complacent, not only catching the wrong person, but also using the wrong metaphor.
4. Digression: "Animal Farm"
George Orwell's allegorical novel not only sees the essence of history, but also the materialistic thinking and objective imagination of society.
There is no truth in history. Even if it is a historical book, it is the subjective description of the person in power. It has only reference value. When faced with historical events recorded in books, it is possible to restore some of the facts through materialistic speculation and objective imagination. The construction and destruction of windmills, the contribution and defection of the "snowball", these are the products of the alternation of black and white.
In order to highlight their high-end, the elite quoted classic novels and compared an inhumane massacre so noble, but they chose the wrong theme: the animals in the book not only won the revolution, but the leader "Napoleon" also blurred themselves and people. And successfully entered the "human world".
In the movie, "Snowball" kills all the elites, puts on the elite's clothes, drank expensive wine, took the plane when they came, and ate caviar... These can not be described as a great irony to the elites.
