This movie is a very well-received movie that was released in theaters recently. If you watch this movie, you will find that it is a suspense type movie, and I want to use this movie to discuss suspense movies or To be precise, it is the reasoning movie, the narrative strategy and genre story variation of the detective movie. "Knives Out" can be said to be a variation of the most classic detective narrative story. We can clearly see that the film organizes the background of the entire story in each person's subjective discourse from the very beginning, and this narrative strategy gives space and possibility for multiple reversals in the plot, and at the same time is effective And quickly shape the characters of each person in this family, and in a sense: they can be classified as a type of people (selfish, or lack of family property contenders), and when all subjectively stated The moment when the content is retold by others is the moment of decryption in the plot. In this sense, the error after the handover between the subjective and the objective is often the moment when the truth is found or a part of the truth is found. Such a narrative strategy has become an important source of drama and conflict in the entire story. It is also one of the very unique genre elements in detective movies and inference movies. The brilliance of "Knives Out" is not only because of the constant reversal of its plot, but also because it shows the deeper theme and mission of detective movies: to probe the characters, so as to probe the society and ask the society. Let's think again about what kind of story the film tells? To put it simply, a rich man gave his property to a carer after his death. And what's not simple about him is that the carer is outside the family, but he has become the owner of this "family". And this female carer has another identity: immigrant, so in this sense, he is also an outsider to this country. And in the film, he broke through the plot to us not only the "criminal", but also the absurdity of the family's attitude towards the immigrant carer. Their love for their caregivers is, in a sense, one of the ways they can make their sense of superiority manifest by helping others. And all of this points to the director's discussion and inquiries about American society. Their attitude towards immigration is just like the one shown in the play, full of falsehood and injustice. And it more clearly points to the dissatisfaction and irony of the US policy on immigration. Therefore, the final outcome is intriguing. The heroine has successfully become the master of the external space. In a sense, the comparison of the identity of the immigrants in her play is also the "immigrant" owning the country (external). space) because the United States, in a sense, most of its citizens are from "immigrants" who are themselves "immigrants". (And at this level, this fact becomes the most powerful irony of immigration policy) But at another level, it becomes the ideological ventriloquism (American logic) of entering space and becoming master, and It provides the inversion of class, and the superposition of her own virtues to cover up the irrationality of the last female protagonist holding a cup and looking down at others, just like the United States itself is an "immigrant", so to a certain extent he is outward What dispels the irrationality of the American past. And "Knives Out" is not only a suspense movie, but should be identified as a Hollywood movie. And good Hollywood productions are often variations of a genre movie and narrations of the positive and negative aspects of the American Dream. And "Knives Out of the Sheath" also does this very well. And the premise for him to accomplish these lies in his correct adoption of the narrative strategy of genre films and his keen observation of society. And creation has always informed us that our society needs to be inquired. Selected from your own film review public account, please pay attention to it.
