"El ciudadano ilustre" still impressed almost everyone with its solid narrative and connotation, and it has done a good job of cultural cultivation and the responsibility of reflecting social issues. The film uses humor as an emotional bedding, intensifies the contradictions in the final chapter, and gives a thick and sharp ending, which is solid and beautifully completed. The humor, lines, and characters all show that this movie relies on details to win, and there is almost no urine point in the whole process. When watching this movie, the details cannot be ignored. If you are only immersed in the superficial laughter, you will miss its most worthy of appreciation. Although the amount of information in the movie is not small, it is simple and easy to understand
.
The first thing that impresses the film is the extremely high-level humor, with countless amazing clips. Mantovani accepts interviews on TV programs, perfunctory interviews from TV stations, careless preparations, and in the end, the sudden and strong insertion of beverage advertisements, satire and humor suddenly, itchy and painful. But you will find that from the frivolous choice of soundtrack, the director is already doing something foreshadowing. The text is humorous, the editing creates humor, and even the props have a sense of silly cuteness. The director has mastered the most advanced expression of humor. The South American style of publicity and enthusiasm makes people laugh, but it is horribly cold when thinking about it, and it hides the deepest pessimism.
With Mantovani's stay, the secular consumption behind the glamour, the blindness behind the worship, and the insoluble knots in the hearts of old friends are slowly exposed. Mantovani's success has become a reason for some people to kidnap grandiose morals, and artistic accomplishment has become an example of "kneeling and licking European ass". In the second half of the film, although there are still sporadic laughter, more often the atmosphere becomes heavy, and an uncomfortable and aggrieved mood permeates from the character to the audience.
After the freshness passed, the blind worship of heroes faded, and the attitudes of the residents of the small town began to change. In the end, Mantovani was completely disappointed with all the hypocrisy and gave a clear slap to the mayor and citizens who feel good about themselves at the exhibition award ceremony. This slap did not bring sobriety, but caused anger. When he got in Antonio's car and was about to leave Salas, he was greeted by the indifferent and hateful faces of the citizens and a deadly bullet.
The good thing is that this is not the end, this is just a new book of "Fin". Mantovani's new book "El ciudadano ilustre" was released. At the press conference, reporters questioned him about demonizing his hometown. He showed the scar on his shoulder and asked how he knew it was not true. The beauty is that the audience doesn't know the truth or not, it completes the fiction of a text layered text. It is such a fictitious story that allows the audience to fully engage in it and feel the reality close to them. Regardless of the text or the theme, the film won, and people smiled after watching the film and fell into a real pessimistic reflection
