Norway, this mountain range runs through the entire territory, and plateaus, mountains, and glaciers account for about two-thirds of the country. The native Tommy Wilkola has dedicated his country’s unique white snow to the world’s film scene. "The Red Snow" of "Scented Fragrance". One white and one red clearly provoke the visual tension that other zombie movies don't have. Simply put, "Red Snow" tells the thrilling journey of a few young people on a wild vacation and encountering Nazi zombies. If we apply Tang poetry, perhaps we can make a limelight poem from the film's plot: "The scenery of the North Country, thousands of miles of ice, the resurrection of zombies, and the disappearance of the living." To put it plainly, in the face of the invasion of "corpse, death, feces, and addiction", any plot can only be reduced to a chicken rib after the extreme secretion of hormones. The key is to see if you have played new tricks. Let's start with the narrative structure and "surge" on this "Red Snow". The first half of the film can be regarded as a tribute to "Ghosts". Small houses, outings, disappearing one by one, and zombies breaking the house, the series of many plots one after another, can not help but remind people of a game called "Copy does not go out of style". The difference is that "Red Snow" lacks the loop shots of "Ghosts", and has more banter and ridicule that are unique to "Shit Pee" movies. In their words, "There is no good joke in the world that does not contain grandma, urine and semen." Of course, "Red Snow" is the same as "Ghosts" in the night scene scene, using a lot of blue.
However, as the zombies' teeth and claws are flaring, the wanton killing and eternal "law of gnawing" in Braindead and the "Living Dead" series appear in the second half of the film. Chain saw, sickle, axe, machine gun, all tools that can be used to kill zombies, all go into battle. What's more interesting is that Roy actually kicked the ball with the head of a zombie and volleyed. What's more, Martin, who was bitten by a zombie on his arm, used a chainsaw to amputate his arm because he was afraid of the "law of gnawing" that a zombie movie must have. Who thought, just after that "minor operation" was done, his "second child" was bitten by the zombie again. …. From this point of view, the hybrid theory of "Red Snow" is at a glance. In addition, toilet sex, headshots, five-horse corpses, intestines, and so on, "very yellow and violent" stuff is dazzling.
Having said so many forms and styles, let's talk about the theme of this movie: greed. Coincidentally, Bloodsucking Nazi Zombies, which was filmed by the French in 1981, also tells the story of Nazi zombies fighting against humans in order to protect their property. The invisible theme of "people dying for money" is hidden under the appearance of "corpse, death, shit, addiction". Of course, some people have long ridiculed this movie as "a box of treasure, a bloody crime". True. However, we should see the inner imbalance of human beings in a state of extreme panic. Like pieces of snowflakes, "corpse, death, shit, addiction" are scattered; "greed" is on the ground; "extreme emotions" are buried deep underground. In this sense, the film provides four interesting examples as the material for our analysis. First, the woman "wrapped" by the snowball uses the law of "universal gravitation" to escape the danger (motion loop shot); second, Liv, who was swallowed by the zombie, uses the remaining consciousness to detonate the grenade, Ending together (the main point of view of the character); third, killing the red-eyed Martin, wrong hand, killing his own partner (interspersed with live sound and sound effects); fourth, seeing Martin who is about to escape from the snow-capped mountains, finds his own pocket There is still a coin hidden in his pocket secretly by his companion (mute).
It can be clearly seen that "Red Snow" vividly uses the unique audio-visual language of the film to highlight the atmosphere of the scene and the inner screen of the characters. Therefore, it cannot be covered by the phrase "a box of treasures, a bloody crime caused". Finally, let's talk about the original soundtrack of this movie. The symphony of Sarah's death in the opening and the interplay of death metal (active sound effects) and punk (passive sound effects) in the midfield have greatly mobilized the audience's sense of self-creation in watching the film. In particular, the alternate use of string music and natural sound greatly retains the atmosphere and tension of the zombie movie's unique "mountain and rain are coming and the wind is all over the building". In any case, this Norwegian movie, which started at midnight at the Sundance Film Festival, is definitely suitable for watching at midnight. Because the plasma and screams on the screen have always been "spiritual", the only choice.
