The special Chinese version of "Parasite", the Japanese version is cut into one part from the upper and lower parts, it is missing a hundred minutes, the text is broken, the rhythm is not harmonious, the plot only leaves the main line, lacking in details, it is very jumpy, like We dragged the progress bar to watch a movie, leaving behind a lot of information. But I am very happy to be able to watch a live-action horror film with rich content and well-made animation in the theater. It still kills many domestic horror films that are known to be bad films by looking at the posters every summer.
A high school student, timid, crying, without a father, raised by a single mother, are you familiar with such a setting? Yes, Izumi Shinichi, the male protagonist of "Parasite", is the type of male protagonist we often see in Japanese animations such as "Evangelion", and also roughly represents the absence of boys in Japan's high-tech utilitarian society. The two-dimensional culture not only understands their psychology, but also implements natural and stocking education.
Xiaoyou, parasitic on Xinyi's right hand, is always serious about making jokes. The enemy often wants to run away. In the eyes of his peers, he is also a defective product that failed to invade the human brain, diaosi. In the days of coexisting with Xinyi, he gradually acquired the unique human virtue of the spirit of sacrifice. After Xiaoyou repaired his heart, Xinyi's personality changed dramatically, and he became a mature adult that society requires these cowardly boys to grow into.
What kind of adult? Highly capable, courageous, and responsible, but calm to the point of ruthlessness. Is it really good to be such an adult? How far is this from human nature? Parasitic beasts devour humans and fight with their own kind, so are humans who cannibalize themselves beasts? Should human beings only take care of themselves and become "parasitic beasts" on the earth, or should they create symbiotic conditions for other creatures? What if a charismatic person who is keen on bloody killings is democratically elected into politics and participates in deciding national affairs? This is how Japan's two-dimensional culture keeps throwing questions to teenagers and even adults, forcing us to think.
Tamiya Ryoko in the parasitic beast lineup is also such an adult. However, after giving birth to the baby, she gradually became human, even motherly, she learned to smile and even laughed out loud. Shinichi was touched by her actions to protect the baby. , shed tears. These heartfelt laughter and tears are the moments when human nature blossoms, the characteristics of human beings. Shinichi, who has become stronger, is restored to the fragile boy who needs the comfort and protection of his girlfriend. This is also the lingering stalk of the two-dimensional culture.
This film retains the spectacle of a large number of parasitic beasts appearing and killing people. It seems to be traced back to old horror films such as "Alien". The scene where the five-headed parasitic beasts are reborn after death is as thrilling as "The Terminator". The mercury robot was reborn, not to mention that he still has the face of Tadanobu Asano. If you have watched "Killer Ah Yi", you can perceive the murderous aura of this powerful general. We also wondered, what would happen if cult film director Takashi Miike came to shoot this story?
