Disgusting laughter - "The Corpse Played the Boundary"

The film is the budding work of Peter Jackson, director of the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy, and tells the story of a zombie. The male protagonist, Leno, is cowardly by nature. He is oppressed by his mother Vera at home. When purchasing household goods, he meets and falls in love with the heroine Paqueta, but is opposed by his mother Vera. The mother was unfortunately bitten by a rat monkey caught from Sumatra while following the two on a date. The wound soon festered, and then the lesion became a zombie, and bit the female doctor who came to treat it. Leno mistakenly thought that his mother was just sick. To cover up his mother's crimes, Leno hid Vera and the doctor in a room. Once, her mother escaped from the room, bit several people, and was knocked to the ground by a car, and Leno held a funeral for her. When Leno's uncle Les heard of Vera's death, he came to ask for the inheritance and threatened Leno with the "zombie" hidden in the room. Leno had to give the property to Les. That night, Les held a rave party at Vera's house. Under Paqueta's persuasion, Leno accepted the fact that his mother had become a "zombie" and had died, and "killed" the zombies and buried them in the ground. Unexpectedly, Leno's method of killing the zombies was wrong, causing the zombies to be resurrected collectively, and the carnival party was bloody. During the escape, Leno accidentally found evidence that his mother had drowned his cheating father and mistress. Knowing the truth, Leno became outraged and killed all the zombies with a lawnmower. In the end, the mother of the big boss was resurrected, and there was still Vera's thinking, resolutely opposed to Leno and Paqueta being together, eating Leno in his stomach, and trying to kill Paqueta, but fortunately Leno broke out, Defeat the mother who turned into a zombie.
The film's plot is compact, and although there are many scenes designed for hilarity, such as Leno taking baby zombies into the wild, it doesn't feel sloppy at all, giving people a smooth feeling. Of course, the design of some of the plots is obviously unreasonable, such as the combination of a zombie female doctor and a priest to quickly give birth to a zombie baby. However, the exaggerated design did not create a sense of incongruity, but increased the jokes. On the screen, the film is extremely disgusting, such as the mother squeezing pus and blood into the food, Leno feeding the zombies, and the bloody scene of the final Lawn Mower vs. Zombies - limbs flying, real blood.
Making the audience laugh out loud at the extreme bloody disgust is one of the important factors in the success of the film. The scenes in the film greatly satisfy the audience's sense of excitement, as its stills say: you will exceed the (disgusting) limit. Indeed, the function of horror films is to stimulate the audience's vision and hearing, tightening the nerves and then relaxing in the bloody horror. This film is not only full of a lot of disgusting and bloody pictures, but most of them are also very funny scenes, maybe after the disgusting audience gave them a happy laugh, the director is full of talent. Objectively speaking, most of these jokes are old-fashioned jokes, which do not seem to be outstanding today, but they are acceptable from a historical perspective.
The second important factor for the success of this film is the plot design. In fact, it is not difficult to make the audience laugh in disgust. What is difficult is that the two are closely combined to form a complete story, which requires the director's control skills. , bad directors tend to deliberately create funny plots, even if they have nothing to do with the plot. The film will be funny and disgusting in one, that is, laughter in disgust. The director has done it, in a smooth plot, let the audience laugh when they should laugh, and never delay when the climax of terror should come.
Another part of the success of this film is that the horror is mixed with the discussion of maternal love, and it is also integrated into the horror. The mother role in this film is more vividly portrayed, and it can even be said to be the most impressive character in the film. The mother's utilitarianism and the suppression of Leno made the audience hate it to the core. When he finally turned into a zombie, he actually called Leno "return to mother's belly". At this time, this kind of maternal love is undoubtedly a great horror. Of course, this is not an art film after all. It properly explores part of human nature in a terrifying atmosphere, and does not expect the audience to have an epiphany. It aims to enrich the plot of the film, enhance the expressive tension of horror scenes, and to a certain extent The audience feels horror both visually and psychologically. On the other hand, this film does not describe the love between the hero and heroine too much. This is just a manifestation of the mother's suppression of Leno, and promotes the development of the plot at an appropriate time. For example, at the end of the hero's belly, this is not love. The director's grasp of this aspect is also quite witty.
"The Group of Corpses Played the Boundary", a relatively hearty movie, laughter in nausea.
