At first, I thought it was a work of human nature in a closed environment. In the process of watching it, I found that bugs were flying all over the sky, and illogical points were everywhere. Involuntarily, I started to think, didn't the director realize that the screenwriter couldn't do it? The conclusion that n days after thinking about turned out to be --- extremely amazing.
The beginning of the film shows that it is a war. There are 9 people and biochemical warriors A, B, C, D, and we can be divided into 2 camps. Let me briefly introduce these 9 people in my association.
Heroine----People's
Heroine Boyfriend----Law
Brother----Army Machine
Brother----Culture and Art
Mother----Believer's
Daughter----Belief (Religion or Ideology)
Hippie Male ----
the master of the basement of the agent ----
the black man in power ---- the reporter, the internationalists will
explain one by one, the master of the basement first. After the 8 people came to the basement, the distribution of materials and the entry and exit boundaries of the big iron gate were all determined by the owner. What is interesting is that in terms of strength, the landlord is not the strongest, this is governance in equality. The landlord's refusal when the refugee entered the door implies that the 8 people need the landlord, not the landlord who needs these 8 people.
Mothers and daughters are the relationship between faith and believers, and there is a dialogue that shows that mothers and daughters often meditate. After losing her daughter, the mother said: Only she can make me a person. It is implied that the mother is a humble and cowardly believer. And the identity of the beautiful and lovely daughter is self-evident, that is faith, and she is equally beautiful and lovely. The daughter's ending also shows that, instead of dying, deprived of all decoration (beautiful long hair) to be studied. The humble and cowardly believers chose darkness and power after losing their faith, were exploited, and died tragically.
The older brother and younger half-brother are two important parts after the birth of a country, literature and art and military affairs. The younger brother has more than once demonstrated his talent for painting, and in the dialogue with the heroine, there is also a description that he can play the guitar, which shows the identity of the younger brother. The only one who came out of the big iron gate was the elder brother. Later, the owner of the basement was also the elder brother, which means that at the beginning, the force machine was positive (looking for lost beliefs), but after the overthrow of the ruler, when the joint agents came to power together, it was dark. The older brother's inhalation of radioactive air hints at the beginning of deterioration.
The hippie man did not reveal his identity at first. The exposure of his identity is from disassembling the body. For a country, there are many things that must be dealt with and cannot be put on the table, such as disassembling the body. Agents do. Agents were normal back then, and since the coup it's gotten darker and darker. We'll talk about even rape laws later.
The heroine's boyfriend, whose identity appeared later, said he was a lawyer, implying the law. Before the coup, the law would still complain endlessly. After the coup, it completely fell, straying from the bottom line, and finally there were scenes of being almost raped by agents. What's interesting is that he finally killed his younger brother who symbolized literature and art, because the people like literature and art, and the law is jealous? Hehe
, the black man was the first to die, in an infighting, what did he do? He contacted the outside world, exposed corruption, and preached justice, and he was the last thing needed in wartime, so he was the first to fall. His identity should be a reporter or something like a disseminator of information.
I have always been confused about the symbol of the heroine, but after watching the ending, I understood that the only people standing on the ruins of the war are the people, the suffering people. In fact, the opening shot of the film tells us that the people witnessed the war and the people cried. In the play, the identity of the heroine was revealed as a "drug addict on the street". Perhaps in the director's eyes, there is something in common between the people and drug addicts.
Finally, let’s talk about the biochemical warriors A, B, C, and D. A, B, and Ding said that the enemy was a bit far-fetched, and said that the hostile forces were more suitable, because they did not kill, only were killed, haha. First look at what they did? First, cultural aggression—injuring the younger brother who symbolizes culture. Second, forced deprivation of faith - kidnapping of little girls. Third, close the exchange---the big iron gate symbolizing the country's gate is welded by electric welding. So, their identity can be very vague, it can be Arab, Soviet, American and so on. In addition, the white film channel outside the iron gate symbolizes the communication channel, because the biochemical soldiers have clothes and do not need this at all, and the bright and weak communication channel is completely closed because of the death of 2 biochemical soldiers (small-scale armed conflict).
