John saw the Manifestation of the Savior, and Jesus, who had come back from the dead, opened the seven seals: He took away peace and tranquility on earth, and brought famine, plague, and beasts. When the sixth seal was unveiled, the sky shook, the sun and the moon were dim. "The stars in the sky are like the same strong wind blowing down the immature fruits on the trees." Finally, he unveiled the seventh seal, and the world again Belong to silence. The seven angels blew their horns, burned the trees, dyed the red water, the river became bitter, and the bottomless pit was cut. The disaster killed all the guilty. Standing on Mount Zion, Jesus told the remaining hundreds of thousands that the adulterous city of Babylon had been overthrown and that the date for God to impose judgment had arrived. From ancient times to the present, human beings will accept this judgment. The good will ascend to heaven, and those who cannot be redeemed will go to hell. "Regaruk" is a shadow of a tragedy in Norse mythology, and an inevitable ending, "the final destiny of a god and the whole world", it heralds the arrival of the end. Facing this irreversible hand of fate, Odin, the lord of the gods, sacrificed his right eye and tried his best to enhance his strength, training death soldiers day and night, just to have enough power when the day of destruction arrives. Fight a decisive battle with the demons who destroy the world.
The horror elements in many movies are constantly beating the weak underbelly of the audience's unknown horror of the unknown doomsday, and various associations that trigger the doomsday are also endless. There are roughly several culprits of the apocalypse: the beasts that turned out, such as "the fog." In (The Mist), the alien beasts from other dimensions invaded the "Godzilla" (Godzilla) of New York City, and turned from the meek seagulls to the flock of birds that kill people (The Birds); the natural disasters that change the color of the world, such as The dying sun in the "Sunshine" (Sunshine) faces the bad luck of the earth, and the meteorite in the "Armageddon" (Armageddon) is about to hit the earth. The earth is in "The Day After Tomorrow" (The Day After Tomorrow). Turned into a huge ice cellar; the spread of the virus plague and the spread of anger caused Britain to be empty in 28 Days Later..., Will Smith is the only one in I Am Legend. The land alone guards the empty city; there are alien invasions (World War, Independence Day, the day when the earth stops) and the evolutionary issues that humans have been worried about (son of mankind, planet of the apes, terminator), etc. His complex sentiment peeks into the possibilities of the future.
Jean-Pierre Gennet never concealed his deep feelings of apocalypse in his movies, especially his three films in the nineties (Black Shop Rhapsody, Night of Lost Souls and Alien 4), but Genie’s apocalyptic and In the past, the overwhelming panic in movies was different from disasters. He picked up hope from the collapsed rubble, fished out fond memories from the sewage discharged underground, and found love in the dying city. In the debut "Black Shop Rhapsody" (Delicatessen 1991), Renai stuffed everything he likes into the picture. There are so many new and interesting things that overflow from the cracks in his eyes, and there are too many to make Renai himself Can't bring out the charm of every detail, so I had to throw it there as a display. It was the end of the world with dense fog, and a group of people were trapped in a hotel on the edge of the city. Food is extremely scarce. People in the city can only gnaw on leather shoes. Beans are used as exchange or treasure instead of money, and cannibalism is the only way to survive. The butcher kept yelling, it is death to walk out of here, everything is over, this is a world without dreams. His daughter Julie Gibb collided with Louis the former circus clown. They played musical instruments and played together. They hugged each other and sank to the bottom. They fled in a world wielding a kitchen knife, as if the end of the world. It has nothing to do with them, a whole new world is bred between them. So at the end of the fairy tale, Julie was playing the cello, and Louise was playing the funny-toned sawed piano. The dense fog dispersed, the air was fresh, and the rosy afterglow of the setting sun squinted at the happiness at this moment.
If "Black Shop Rhapsody" has not been able to wear every detail, then in "The City Of Lost Children" (The City Of Lost Children 1995), there are countless strings connected with secret chips, you have to be serious Tugging on the rope, follow Rene's instructions to reach the center of his dream castle to reveal the mystery. This is the story that Renet and his friend Marco Cahou prepared for fourteen years. The rudimentary form of the story is the rough fog of the ship, the greasy and shabby port, the lingering mist, a little girl and a big Feelings between people. The protagonists of Renai stories generally do not have a perfect family, either an orphan or one of their parents has died. They are alone in the huge gloomy city.
Metty is a member of an orphan thieves gang. She is only nine years old, mature and sophisticated, and never emotional. Ah Yi’s relative is his younger brother Dan Lai. He used to be a sailor on a whaling ship, but when he heard the graceful and gentle singing of whales one night, he no longer had the heart to hunt those beautiful animals, and later ran to At the garden party, he showed his only specialty: he is a strong man who can break free of chains. Ah Yi is somewhat like a monster in the science fiction novel "Frankenstein". He is tall and scary. He is not good at communicating with people. He can't even say a single sentence. He can only say a few simple words, but he is kind and kind. , Emotional loyalty, even if you decide to do things, you must do it even if you go up and down the fire. At first, Meidi just thought that this big guy was stupid and dull, and could use him to move the safe or something, but later he became more and more aware that his simple and kind heart is the warmest fire in the city. When he was tired from walking, he carried her on his back; when there was danger, he stood in front; he also pierced Metty's name on his arm to cherish it all his life. She would be jealous when she saw him with other women. He was absolutely heartbroken to find that she had disappeared, and he slammed the originally dysfunctional head on the table. When others questioned their disparate relationship, Metty said seriously: "He's just a big man, and I'm not young." Anyway, she has to hold the big man's hand and go on for the rest of her life, no one else. Want to stop.
The bad guys in Renet’s stories are always ridiculous and sad, but they are not necessarily bad guys. As Louis believes said, "No one is really evil, it's just the environment." The bad guy, Dr. Geller, is really hard. He suffers from the torment of not being able to dream. If he can't shed tears, he will age rapidly. So he had to steal the children’s dreams, because the children’s dreams are always beautiful. And full of fantasy, it's a pity that their dream turned into a gloomy, melancholic nightmare when they reached Geller. In order to amuse the children, he exhausted all his energy, dressed as Santa Claus to give them gifts, sang and jumped panting, but his congenital conditions were too bad, his appearance was too hideous, his singing was out of tune and rough, which provokes the children. I am even more afraid of this "old Christmas monster". I have to say that it was a failure for the bad guys to do this. They didn't do a lot of bad things, but were humiliated and embarrassed by a few children.
When people grow up slowly, dreams become the only door to childhood. This is a simple truth that Rene and Uncle Kahou are deliberately trying to convey to everyone. Don't apply psychoanalysis to see dreams. The two older children rummaged through books about dreams and found that the most interesting ones were made up. The meaning of dreams is not important, what is important is that dreams can create a wider world than reality. Renei once said grinningly: "Since the New Wave, movies have mostly been about a couple arguing over trivial matters. I prefer to shoot positive stories." So he tinkered with this city full of greasy pipes. The castle surrounded by mines, the evil Siamese twin old woman and the strange doctor who specializes in catching children. Just looking at the story does not seem to be a bright and uplifting inspirational film, but every fairy tale has an element of fear in it, like "Binocchi" who was almost swallowed by a whale, "Snow White" who was almost killed by her stepmother and wanted Rescuing the "Dumbo" of the mother is the same as the fact that children are afraid of the dark and like to listen to ghost stories. Whether adults or children, they will like to feel fear, enjoy happiness and feel moved.
If a woman hangs herself by herself, it is definitely a tragic horror scene, but here in Rene, there is room to play around. I don’t think anyone will forget Airo who tried her best to commit suicide in "Black Shop Rhapsody". Ni, that is really to achieve the goal, we must use all means to make detours. If you want to commit suicide by electrocution, you have to use sewing machines, bathtubs, desk lamps, cloths and doorbells. The clever design and the tight loops are a good thing. He is such a director who likes to "do everything". He invented all kinds of hot internal machines, such as nonsense detectors, weird sound-transmitting toys, and fleas that can control people's minds. If the migraine is solved, take out the brain. Throw a few effervescent tablets in the fish tank. If you want to steal, you have to use a mouse, a magnet and a cat to get the key. Some methods seem to work really well, but Uncle Hotnei has a good time.
In Ulysses, James Joyce used Buck Mulley’s words to describe Dublin Bay as "a sea of nasal mucus. A sea that makes people’s testicles crunch." This kind of squishy and disgusting words. It's not too much to use in "The Night of Lost Souls in Children". The thick and dirty dark green sea is full of garbage discarded by people, and it is filled with the memories of the entire city. On the film poster, Meidi and Aichi floated across the sea in the dark of night and rowed towards the perilous castle. They looked sideways at each other. On the sea of doomsday, they heard the love that made the heart stop beating.
