The first time he was unsuccessful because he met an old lady who was drying dried radishes. He hid the dog in the basement. This dog later became the delicacy of the gatekeeper of the community. The second time he stole the old lady's dog and threw it off the roof. However, she was seen by the enthusiastic female employee played by Pei Doona.
The third time..
There is no third time because his wife brought back a dog.
1. Human-dog conflict.
After watching this film, I think of Carla and the second child in "Carla is a Dog". The male protagonists of both films have a common synonym, not failure, but mediocrity.
The former regards the dog as a tool to vent their anger, while the latter can only regain a little man's dignity in front of the dog. The attitudes of the two people are different, but the spiritual emptiness and lack of dignity of urban people in modern life are the same. There is no comfort in the surrounding environment and in society as a whole. Pets enter their lives with a special role, or in their inner value judgments, dogs are not equivalent to pets.
Lee Sung Jae plays Won Jun who wants to be a professor, but in a society where rights and interests are paramount, many times the person you want to become cannot simply be equated with the level of talent. And need the help of money. During the time he was not a professor, he repeated every day, knocking expensive walnuts for his pregnant wife. He didn't have the courage to resist, and had to resort to violence to irrelevant animals in order to prove the strength and dignity of a man in such a senseless killing.
The difference between the second child is that he and Kara have established an equal feeling. There are no rules for human social existence in the animal kingdom, and the center of a dog's world is only its owner, no matter how unpromising and insignificant that owner may be in his own environment. So when he knew that he might lose Kara, he did his best to restore it. Or that he is not saving Kara, but saving himself. So the second child, who has been low-key all his life, said this sentence in the movie: Only in front of Kara can I feel that I am alone.
The second child's affection for the dog is similar to the old woman who dried the radish in Feng Junhao's movie. The dog was her only companion in her lonely life, so after learning that it was killed, her inner defense was instantly broken, and she passed away soon after.
Different people and dogs have different levels of conflict and integration. When Feng Junhao made this film, there was conflict and fusion existed side by side. As Feng Junhao himself said, most of his works are about incompetent people.
2. For
the first time, this man has a sense of resistance. It was when he and his wife came home with the dog, and his wife told him to go back to buy the snacks he forgot to buy.
He put the bag on the ground and asked seriously, "Do I have to run the store for that mongrel?" My wife said it was only 100 meters away.
At this time, the film has started for an hour, and all the plots are getting better and better, one by one. What this cowardly man did in the back made me laugh.
The way he resisted is not to reason with the other party and say that I am tired and you still want me to buy food for a mongrel. It's not like throwing things and cursing to vent the anger in your heart. He took out the toilet paper he just bought from his shopping bag and spread it out along the road. The toilet paper does not travel as far as the supermarket. Then he pointed to "100M" on the toilet paper bag to show his wife. This proves that the road from here to the store is not more than 100 meters. He can only use this kind of hard error in the opponent's judgment to restore a little status and authority for himself.
This point is so well arranged.
He later walked the dog under the compulsion of his wife, but unfortunately lost the dog. From a dog thief to a lost dog owner. He panicked, and when he was no longer on the screen, he could also be heard crying the dog's name. He is anxious, not because of love. but out of fear. Yes, he was still afraid.
3. The
dog was rescued at risk by the enthusiastic female clerk. The background music I remembered at this time was generous and grand, and the expression on the protagonist's face was exaggerated joy. This plot was filmed by Feng Junhao, and it was extremely ironic.
With the help of his wife, he became a professor. On the night he brought money back to the principal, he got drunk and lay on the side of the road. Awakened by the female staff.
He had lived for so long, and it was a rare time that he wanted to be honest with himself once. So he started running, like when the female clerk caught him throwing the dog and chased after him the other day. Their posture, speed, distance, are exactly the same.
As he ran in front, he reminded each other, do you remember, we ran like this once. Do you remember it?
The female staff was smiling at first, but then ran and ran, stunned.
4.
During class, he said casually with his eyes sloppy, today we are watching a modernist movie, and
he asked someone to pull the curtains, so the whole world has less and less space to see sunlight, until there is no space.
And the female clerk who is eager to help find the dog, in a world different from his, wanders in a lush green with friends.
5.
This is Feng Junhao's feature-length debut.
