black, still black

I think the films of the Coen brothers are very good. They are very good at telling stories and good at making movies. Watching
their films, this is how it feels: normal - serious - unintelligible - absurd - shocked - crazy. It's a very cool feeling to watch the whole movie.
This movie is not a very good one among the Coen brothers. But because of the addition of many stars, this movie may have more audiences, and they can understand the style of the Coen brothers. Personally, I think the performances of the actors in it are very exciting, especially the acting stars like Malkovich. His performance undoubtedly strengthens the absurd style of the Coen brothers and adds luster to the movie.
Watching the films of the Coen Brothers, there are rich dramatic elements under the calm lens. They seem to be unrelated, but in the end, when they are summed up and interacted, a series of reactions will be produced, which will make you dizzy. Just like those wonderful chemical reactions, wonderful adventures, people have endless aftertastes. The result of the reaction is black, black humor. Only those who really know the taste know the power of black humor, it can make you realize the reality, our surroundings, our life, our society more deeply when you laugh.
That's the magic of black humor...
