A movie is a work that tells a story with audio and video. The truth is easy to tell, the story is difficult to tell, and the truth can be understood as soon as it is said. The story needs to have a sequence of characters and dialogues with colorful action pictures. What is commendable is that it is even more difficult for the story to make sense. I just watched "The New Order", the author is more about showing, not talking about truth. The reality is cruel, there is not so much truth at all, and it is good to experience human nature directly. Is human nature good or evil? No, human nature is human nature, animal nature plus a little fantasy, there is no such thing as good or evil. The poor people who rebel in the film use green paint as their organization logo. From street protests to robbing the rich and helping the poor, the military plays a corrupt role in the film. On the one hand, they suppress the people, and on the other hand, they kidnap and extort money. The wealthy family initially negotiated with the kidnappers, and later relied on it. The upper echelons of the army not only punished the kidnappers of the scum in the army, but also killed the mother and son of their loyal servants and the wife who had been raped, and blamed the servants (the end of the film made Victor take a gun). At the end of the film, the kidnappers were all executed, but Marianne, who actively helped the poor at the beginning, was killed, and then the poor mother and son who actively helped Marianne were also killed, and even the old man and his wife who came to borrow money at the beginning were killed. . The title of the film is "New Order", which seems to imply that the bad people and the good people in the chaotic world have been removed, and the new order has been restored. Violence and money survive, compassion and responsibility die. The violent army, the rich rich, live. The sympathetic mistress, the loyal servant, died. This is the New Order. There is no conspiracy theory in the film, it is all in the plot, and some are lashings against society and human nature.

    [C+] The allegorical background that floats on the surface and poses, flat and empty, no depth, and all the characters that serve the plot, the rampant brutality and the false order are all done by the director to show the audience this violent show Metaphors, innuendos, etc., are only secondary plot fillers, so there is not much meaning for in-depth discussion.

    Another form of doomsday movie, fierce is fierce enough, but the director seems to have little expression on the theme. And everything came suddenly, there was no background introduction, and there was no foreshadowing. In fact, the character creation is also very thin, there is no resistance, no refutation, and they have become the tool people in the works.
