I think there's still a bit of a saving grace

You know what I'm most afraid of?
I am most afraid that the killer will have a very handsome face.
It made me feel dazed when I watched the movie.
Should I love him to emulate him or be horrified and astounded like Dash in SAMSARA flipping through the precepts (and looking at the skulls under the cover of the copulation series)?
REDDRAGON is the third installment of The Silence of the Lambs.
When I mentioned it to Yun Yun, he still sneered and lashed out at my taste.
This makes me ponder a question from time to time: Has he actually seen the film, and if not, what is the evidence of his contempt.
If he has seen it, hasn't he also experienced the same action of consuming this visual text as I have.
Of course, he has an extraordinary insight into genre orientation or stereotypes to base his decisions on.
Here's our difference: I'm more used to making judgments about a text I've read. Otherwise, keep silent.
And the rationality of my judgment (and my value orientation has always been in a conservative state), or it is just a view, not a view related to the degree of involvement but not a judgment at all.
The former is what I have always used. I didn't shut you up and deprive you of the right to speak (of course I don't have the ability), then I'm a decent person. (Though it's not a big deal to be a decent person)
I like REDDRAGON because the male lead is handsome.
This is very different from the marvel at the meticulous logical reasoning and psychological tactics of the first two "SAW" series and "Silence of the Lambs". (In Yun Yun's words, "Shu dog barks at the sun". Yun Yun claims to have had countless movies, and I am afraid that there will be a monograph listed in the future. I just wait for the mosquitoes and flies of my generation.)
Just because he is handsome, he plays the role of The antagonists are eye-catching.
From this, the world can be shocked: Why do the villains have to crook melons and crack dates! (I apologize for the offense and disrespect of the villain who is crooked and cracked, and threatens everyone's jobs.)
Therefore, the viewers can't help but follow the character development of the male protagonist to the end. (How can he be so handsome and be a killer, isn't he still a cowherd who can still live in peace?) At
last, he realized that adolescence is such an important period! Any abnormality has its inevitability.
The goodness of human nature also has its congenital nature. The key is whether it has not been destroyed, how much it has been destroyed, and who is the perpetrator. What is the cause of the accident.
In fact, this logic is a necessary imperative for the narrative framework of many genre films.
Some films give the answer, some are unwilling to give, such as "Seven Deadly Sins", "SAW".
What I don't want to give is director Gao Ming, who imagines in space, and Gao Mingzai still has a sequel or prequel to make.
The answer is the number of words in the script of the novel, or the length of the film by the director. If the audience has a little IQ, this is very unpleasant.
As far as the film itself is concerned, REDDRAGON is a bit of a trick to the audience.
I have to admire Jun Yun's foresight (if he hasn't seen it before), if the male lead isn't so handsome, I'd be surprised if I didn't write with anger.
On the other hand, the director's unwiseness lies in the fact that he has to make one thing clear, for fear that the audience will not understand.
As everyone knows, why should the audience understand it? Does the audience understand that it is a success? Would the audience like to understand it clearly?
It is better to be like Mr. Wong Kar-wai, where the fragmented films are put together in front of you, like "the point of the drifting", the audience does not know so they think it is a superior work.
Why: The openness of the text guarantees the reach of understanding readers. After reading it, you always have to feel a little bit, even if these feelings are messy.
The audience was fooled but felt that the lesson was very profound, and then let Mr. Wang hid under the quilt and snickered.
This is not a smile!
And films that explain the truth clearly, of course, can be read by everyone, so it is hard to escape the saliva of those with above-average comprehension.
This group of splatters who feel allegorical is exactly the lively and fierce diversion audience on the Internet.
Unfortunately, I am one of them.
