The animated film "Suicide Shop", just by looking at its name, can attract a group of audiences who prefer dark animation. However, its reputation is far inferior to that of many dark animations. The evaluations given by the audience often think that its ideas and innovative plots have ruined good ideas.
The film integrates film noir and song and dance film, and is a standard genre film. From the character structure to the plot development, it has the meaning of masking and formulating.
From the perspective of character structure, from Yukio Mishima to Alan Turing, the names of the ones who run suicide specialty stores are all named after famous suicides in history. Father Mishima, with oiled hair, a neat suit and tie, a thin body, a pointed face with an inverted triangle, and a two-way moustache, all portrays his shrewd and stereotyped image of a businessman. Mishima is also in the film. He is portrayed as the spokesperson for the image of "evil forces", because he is stubborn, rigid, and sincerely loves to serve the suicide business. He is most dissatisfied with the character of the youngest son, Sunshine, and wants to drag him into the water. He is also the most difficult to be moved back to the "right track" in the film. " character. Mother Lucrece, with delicate curly hair, bloated but lean, always wears jewelry, small eyes, smiling face, and odd glasses that show her shrewd side. But the mother itself is also a symbol of the "outsider" in the family. She serves the suicide store more out of a responsibility than a hobby and a mission. When she was asked by a customer how to choose the way of death, she was lost and sad for a moment. She was surprised but relieved and even relieved when she saw the portrait of her sister dancing naked. This is her unstable side, and it also lays the foundation for the final direction of the film's development. Brother Vincent, the head of the pot, with a lot of whites and small black eyes, pulled eyelids, pouted mouth, and silent personality made him more like a bystander. As for her sister Marilyn, she was the first to express her boredom with her family business, and she also expressed her suicidal thoughts. She was always bored on her face, which showed her rebellious spirit, and made her an allen tear The breaking point of the film's gloomy atmosphere. The creator did not give Marilyn beauty. She has buck teeth and a bloated and fat figure. She will always sit at the table and read books, but she chooses to let the audience realize her beauty through a dance. A turning point in the tone of the film.
From the title and the gloomy song and dance at the beginning, this film has established the tone of its noir film, but from the smiling face shown by Allen after his birth, the audience can expect its plot twist and ending, which is also a major feature of genre films. . The dark colors, gloomy environment, decadent figures of the characters, bleak faces, and thick dark circles under the eyes all show its gloominess, but it has to have a relatively bright happy ending, which requires It's an inevitable turning point. After a few minutes, the creator used Allen's birth, sister's dance, and noise interference to usher in the climax of the film with Allen's "jumping off the building", and also "defeat the evil forces", allowing the most stubborn Father changed his mind. This film is a bit blunt and unconvincing in Allen's way of "solving the crisis" and the control of the plot rhythm, which has also become the biggest criticism of the film. However, the purpose of the film is not entirely to promote the value of life and advise everyone not to commit suicide. Although it has a seemingly happy ending, it does not change the essence of its noir film. The dark color of the film in ed and the end of the film are sold. The hydrogen chloride crepe also shows that the director is not trying to force a big reunion. The film should be more about expressing an existence that still has bright corners in a dark world, praising the brilliance of human nature without escaping its dark side.
If you want to tangle it directly to the darkness of society, but it does not make a shocking change, it can only be said that this is not a movie to save the world, and Alan has never been made into a superhero.
