The Ice-Blood Storm begins with coldness and violence, and unfolds around a small town in an icy world. The murders on the ice and snow were revealed in the first act by the murderer. Compared with the general suspense and the deliberately created terrorist killings of general criminal murders, it actually means a bit in the opposite direction. In fact, from the first episode that set the tone for the whole film, you can feel the difference of the ice storm. There is no murderous picture, but a bit too flat and easy; instead of emphasizing the tension of repeated murders, it is calm and unforgettable; no The ubiquitous black humor, even with a touch of warmth in life-some people describe the 2006 version of Ice and Blood Storm "This is the most humorous murder movie I have ever seen, and it is also the coldest humor movie I have ever seen. One of them."—It is the consistent temperament of the Coen Brothers films: Absolute ordinaryness can also reveal the most absurd side of life.
The story of the ice and blood storm is very simple. The story of an independent snow town, a frozen corpse on the snow, and a few core characters, the story unfolds slowly. The setting of a very familiar crime movie is not like a suspense movie. The key information is always deliberately hidden. In front of the director’s camera, your vision and the character’s behavior are always in sync. You know every character’s every move, you Know what is happening right now. However, you also know that their own personalities and predicaments will only get worse and worse. They can't help but sink deeper and deeper, only to finally collapse out of control. If you say being instigated and framed by the killer, it is better to say that the killer is the accelerator of all these, amplifying their despair, and inducing them to gradually obey/endure the inner "evil" (the salesman Lester kills his wife, the fat boss has a mental breakdown), just
talk about a few key points. The feelings of the role are left to be added:
Lester Insurance Salesman: At the beginning, he was a loser. A typical Luther setting. The biggest shortcoming is weakness. This weakness caused a series of tragedies for himself and the people around him, and he was unable to control himself. Fate, dumb endures all injustices, a bit like "Breaking Bad" Teacher Bai, but Lester's weakness and inability can make him more mediocre and neurotic.
The killer is one of the biggest charms of the show. As soon as he appeared on the stage, he shocked everyone. His aura is fierce but hidden, he has excellent IQ and EQ, and is deep and calm but always has a black humor; he controls human nature, plays with applause, capricious and ruthless-it is like fate. Judge, the existence of God. In E04, he described himself as a "predator". Instead, I felt that he was playing the role of a judge, a detached and absurd existence, without any purpose of violence (to lure Lester to get rid of the SAM that bullied him and make him fat The boss is convinced that "disciplinary" is God's order), thinking about it this way, I am afraid that the employee who froze to death in the snow was also eliminated by the same logic.
Policewoman: The figure is not vigorous, and the facial features are not clear. In these three-way mediation, the unremarkable role, looks a bit like a nosy aunt, but unexpectedly alone and courageous, undertaking to promote With the most critical role in the development of the whole thing, there should be a sense of existence in the back. Is this another piece of black humor inserted by the Coen brothers?
