"Suicide Shop" is a Gothic-style film that shapes a grotesque society. It's only weird because the film creates an atmosphere where death is almost the norm, in which suicide is popular, and the protagonist runs a store that helps people complete the final service. The character setting of this film is quite typical, with thin face, numb expression, decadent spirit, and even some desperate customers, which not only conforms to the characteristics of the movie's gothic style, but also reflects the dark and lonely people living in the city. , world-weary and other living conditions. But there are still some abrupt characters, because the two-level contrast between the characters' emotions is obvious, and the origin of the characters' emotions is not properly explained. The little boy has always had a positive spirit from birth, but the opposite is the lifeless family. In such an environment, the little boy has always maintained his own value judgment and believes that life should be beautiful, although there are many parents. "corrected" him several times, but he remained the same. In one episode, his father asked him to smoke, and he slowly began to enjoy the feeling of smoking. As his classmates said, we should all know the disadvantages of smoking, but why did he easily fall in love with smoking? This shows that his understanding of things in society is not firm, so why is he so obsessed with his own beliefs? We have no way of knowing. And if his sister changed her mind just because of a ribbon and a CD, then such a character would be too unconvincing, after all, she used to cover her face and cry and say she was ugly. There are a lot of singing and dancing clips in the film. It is advisable to use singing and dancing to relieve the depressed atmosphere. After all, the rhythm is still cheerful, but too much singing and dancing will consume the fun of watching the movie, because many singing and dancing clips in the film are useless. To advance the narrative, it just uses weird lyrics to render the atmosphere. When it is overdone, the plot will have less time to fully show, which may be one of the reasons for the sudden change of characters. On the other hand, in the process of characters' emotional transformation, singing and dancing have also become a good carrier, which is very helpful for the audience to understand the characters' emotions. The plot seems to be developing towards joy, but from time to time it is also a metaphor for the helplessness of death. In the black atmosphere permeating the whole society, the little boy wakes up his father with a "suicide method", which is in line with the theme of the film, but isn't it a bit too radical for the father to chase down his son with a knife? Maybe it was only their family and their guests who became happy in the end, but after turning out of this alley, there would still be people who just committed suicide on the road and were labeled by the police, and then everyone continued to live a life that could collapse at any time.
