(The 99th issue) Dayin Niche Movie Watching Club · Notes
——7.9 "Frozen" is just our "accidental" life
We don't know when we were conceived, when our parents fell in love, when our grandparents met...everything has been full of "accidents" from our birth until now. This "accident" is not necessarily unpremeditated, it is not necessarily an accident, and it is not necessarily a surprise, it is a kind of "uncertainty". When we want to forcefully control our lives, we are often slapped in the face by "accidents"
The car manager planned a farce to kidnap his wife and blackmail his father-in-law, a simple plan that had a butterfly effect and eventually turned into a tragedy that killed nearly 10 people. The male protagonist's life is gradually pushed into the abyss, and he is also involved in it. When it happens, it is out of control.
Instead, it was a simple policewoman who was lucky enough to meet clues one by one, getting closer to the truth step by step. Among them, the more interesting part is the role of the policewoman's husband. He looks dull, his position is not as high as his wife's, and his wife is not as smart. He insists on making breakfast for his wife, having lunch together, and obsessed with drawing ducks. The policewoman will be proud of her husband's painting, will encourage and comfort him, the relationship is simple and pure, even a little boring, but the care and love between them can also be felt. But the big house of the car manager is full of arrogance and prejudice, greed and stinginess, deceit and lies
Another movie that comes to mind about "accidents" is Woody Allen's "Match Point" with the male lead at the other extreme, "successful" because of a series of unexpected events. Failure and success is not the point, the point is that this is the "unexpected life" that we cannot avoid. You may be calculating, you may act according to a well-planned plan, you may be indifferent to everything, and you may only choose to grasp the moment. No life is wrong, but you are all responsible for every possible outcome
