isn't it? !
It seems so...
Although some people think that Burn After Reading is a bad movie, I don't hide my love for it at all, I think it's ridiculous, and it continues the Coen Brothers' incoherent narrative style and the usual dark humor, let me The number of laughs exceeded the sum of the laughs in this year's New Year's film.
Back then, No Country for Old Men also brought this effect. It seems that I understand the humor of the Coen brothers.
The opening is always a bit boring. For one third of No Country for Old Men, I turned off the sound and watched it as a silent film. Of course, if you can continue with patience, you will find that Cohen will always create unexpected thrills and joys.
Just like the story is caused by a middle-aged unmarried middle-aged woman and a colleague who picked up a plate of former intelligence officers who were memoirs by a mediocre-looking, fat-covered, obsessed blind date, and failed repeatedly, trying to use plastic surgery to make her life a little more fulfilling. . In the end, it even led to a lot of messy murders between agents, government officials, spies, spies and civilians. Is it unreliable? Think about it too, aren't there so many unreliable things in real life?
Few of the characters in it are not neurotic, and those who are married all have affairs, and they think each other is very loyal. The playboy played by George Clooney is flawless, and it's not too much trouble to get a girl. Playing humorous, pompous, frank, affectionate, and a man separated from his wife, throwing piles of cardboard boxes all over the living room, and saying to the meat delivered to the door, forgive my mess at home, my wife's Things haven't moved neatly yet. By the end, it's messed up. If you don't have such strong nerves, don't play a few roles, it's not that you won't collapse.
Full explanation: People can't do bad things, because the whole world is watching you.
The gym boy played by Pete is very H at any time and can't stop like a clockwork rock boy. A little naive and a little silly, quite righteous, very cute. I wanted to pretend to be sophisticated to get a sum of money for the operation fee for the eldest sister, but I ended up playing it instead. The extortion on the first phone made me incoherent, and the second time I met, I was beaten on the nose before I said a few words. The third time was even worse, and he was shot in the head without doing anything. Although he has a little back and a hard life, he is one of the key happy characters. With him, the film has been greatly enhanced.
Funny episode 1: Harry rummaged through the body, but the label on the gym boy's suit was cut off. There were only a few small bills and a few coins in the wallet, and there was no document to prove his identity. Harry was shocked. I killed a spy. !
Explanation: Don't watch what you shouldn't see, and pretend you don't know what you shouldn't know even if you know it.
Funny episode 2: Linda went to the Russian embassy ignorantly, thinking that the agent's memoir was a secret, but was swept out of the house. Cox was summoned to the Intelligence Bureau and told that his memoirs had been handed over to the Russian embassy by those two fools. He asked with wide eyes in disbelief: Russians? ? What are they doing with the fucking Russians?
I laughed, the diary of an American agent was handed over to the Russians. I'm afraid it's like eating beer with rice, right?
The unpredictable visual violence and hilarious humor throughout the film have always tested my psychological endurance, making people panic and laughing unconsciously at the same time, how exciting and transparent.
The most wrongful thing is the big boss of the intelligence bureau. A series of unintelligible incidents reported by his subordinates made him crazy, and in the end he had to pay a large amount of expensive surgery fees.
"Sir, I know this sounds a bit ridiculous, but she said that as long as we pay for the surgery, she won't say it."
"What surgery?" (BOSS asked blankly)
"Uh,, cosmetic surgery."
" How much is it?"
"...There are many projects, which are more complicated, and they add up to..."
"Pay her!" (Boss waved his hand, not interested in listening any further)
"My God, from start to finish, we are in the end. What do you understand?" (The exhausted BOSS stretches out on the chair and sighs)
"I don't know, sir." (The subordinate shifts his buttocks nervously)
"I don't fucking know either."( BOSS closed the diary in front of him in frustration and resignation)
With the powerful drumbeat of the music, the scene was the exact opposite of the title, gradually condensed into a microscopic world, and ended with my laughter.
The purpose of this film is to make the characters in it either die or go crazy, not to collapse, not to become a devil.
The Coen brothers, very personal style, really fucked up, that kind of tone, I like it.
