"Duplex" tells a story that is unethical in the real world. The strong American black humor style revolves around an old lady murdering story tense and powerfully unfolding, and the final outcome is that their plan to kill was repeatedly hit, and the old lady's harassment followed one after another. The narrative is compact and not procrastinating. Every counter-conspiracy to murder an old lady and old lady strongly affects the heartstrings of the audience, making people feel injustice for the young couple, and hating the nasty old lady but helpless.
The fight between the young couple and the old lady in the film is wonderful and funny, but the story is cruel: as neighbors who get along day and night under the same roof, they are intriguing and fighting for personal gain, and even hired a killer to participate. in. In the limited time of 89 minutes, the story surrounding the murder of an old lady is tense and powerfully unfolding a ridiculous plot.
The joke of the film is largely derived from the concept that the legal system is too sound and sometimes it will be constrained. It is also difficult for good people to do. If you think of replacing Ben Stiller with Spoiler, I am afraid that the old lady will suffer. The ending is indeed a little redundant, reducing the irony of the whole film.
The film is different from some domestic comedies, but cleverly uses "murder" to make a little joke with traditional "morality", and uses American humor to interpret the helplessness and troubles of urbanites in modern society.
