"Suicide Shop" is a typical dark comedy movie, the beginning of the film, the beautiful lyrics contrast with the cruel reality. After that, passers-by chose to die but were told it was illegal. How ironic! In fact, the title of the film is very dark and humorous - suicide store, death is no longer a vague word, suicide is stylized, you must choose death at a specified time, at a specified place, and in a fixed way, otherwise you are breaking the law. It's absurd and comical, but it's so normal for the people on the show. After all, everyone is sick! The Mishima couple are classic black humor characters. On the one hand, Mishima and his wife are absurd and cowardly, trying to evade responsibility. Mishima committed suicide at the door of the store by saying: "Don't commit suicide on the road, it will make us lose our license." This image is deeply portrayed. . On the other hand, they are walking on the opposite side of the trend, revealing the absurdity and ugliness of human nature, and becoming an alternative hero image. Later, the film portrayed the Mishima couple as heroes to liberate people, and in order to liberate people, they lived in pain and struggled every day. It is precisely because they feel that the world is painful and death is beautiful, so when they first saw the corners of Alan's mouth rising, they were more afraid. The smile shouldn't be here, it belongs on the other side. In fact, as an absurd comedy, it looks absurd and bizarre, but the outer shell of the absurd is wrapped in a relatively normal and human inner shell. Even though the characters are a little sick, the philosophical nature of the story is still normal. Life and death are very common but serious things. The director uses black humor to talk about this matter, telling the audience that since we can't choose how to live, we can choose how to die. . In the final analysis, it still has to say, how should we face life. So, those who choose to die will still get the Mishima couple's "Have a nice evening". In fact, death is option A, and living is option B. Whether it is A or B, the purpose is actually the same. All for the sake of liberation in life, which is the charm of black humor. No matter what kind of thing is described, it is told in a playful, relaxed tone. The appearance of Allen is in contrast to everyone. In the final analysis, there is actually no right or wrong. Just a different choice. Most of the people in the film chose death to free themselves, but Allen chose to live and instill this subjective consciousness of himself into others. The pain of reality in the first half of the movie is relieved by death , and later the pain of reality is transformed into happiness for relief. Another highlight of this film has to be said, that is, a lot of singing and dancing in the film. The film begins with a piece of music, the beautiful lyrics and the gothic style of painting form a contrast, a kind of absurd contrast. And in fact, this piece of music also plays a role in echoing, and the ultimate purpose is to change the status quo in order to express the beauty of life. It also played a role in setting the stage for the final outcome. At the same time, several pieces of music in the film assume the role of narration, portraying the characters and developing the plot. An important point in the film is the song and dance of the Mishima couple telling their own journey. It seems that they are shaped as saviors who help people escape from the sea of ​​misery, and they can only choose to stick to it for the sake of others, and cannot achieve bliss. Moreover, the climax of the whole film is when Allen and his friends play music in front of the store. With the rhythm of the music, the suicide store completely collapsed, and the elder sister, who kept calling out when she could die, finally found her love. This is the advantage of music and dance, which can create and render an atmosphere with the least amount of time. When Allen jumped from the upstairs, Mishima realized the value of life and the meaning of life. Many times we feel that life is unlovable, but the value of life is often reflected unconsciously. We may not realize it when we are born, and only really feel it when we are close to death. It is worth pondering that, at the end of the film, Mishima still secretly sells hydrogen chloride crepes. From this point on, the thinking of the film is normalized, and death is still obscure, but you and I still cannot put an end to death. After all, this is a way of liberation, and there is no right or wrong. But the last song and dance is to give the deceased a chance to speak up. I want to tell the audience that if they can, if they can, they are actually living happily, and this choice may be better. The gothic style of painting, the absurdity of black humor, and the singing and dancing full of irony, in fact, the ultimate purpose of everything is not to change the status quo of people to make life better. I hope you and I live a happy and beautiful life. , only really felt when it was close to death.
