The dazzling array of labels and maggots failed to hide the emptiness of content

There aren't many movies with one star. There are countless excellent works with rebellious temperament. I like Trainspotting and Pulp Fiction the most. The "rebellious temperament" mentioned here refers to the promotion of homosexuality, blood, murder, drug addiction, anti-social behavior in movies. Non-mainstream, criminal and even cult topics such as religion. This is also the first impression that this film gives us: Lala's unbridled love, broken family relationship, the heroine kills three people in a row and infects one person, the history of drug abuse, the priest is scared by zombies, but after several grand themes are thrown out , and none of them went down. I'm not a sublimationist, and I wouldn't have liked Quentin's movies without a clear theme. But the rebellious temperament that ends in form is just nourishment for those who love to flaunt but lack thinking. In this film, we see labelling, shallowness, and nothing but artistry. When it comes to artistry, Mealworm has once again succeeded as a stand-in. From the picture, the physical discomfort from beginning to end did not bring me any pleasure in watching the movie, but the maggots as a symbol of "eating the soul" is still a relatively novel artistic expression. Narratively speaking, the motive of the heroine to do everything is enough to make people's blood pressure go crazy, especially the episode of "destroying if you can't get it" to kill the big girl, I really can't laugh or cry, and finally I asked a man to take over. I don't want to mention it. Emotional resonance, impossible. There are obviously 10,000 solutions. You have to choose the most ridiculous one, and then all the other characters can really cooperate with her to "act". Zombies have no pupils, and I didn't expect the living to be more blind. Another symbol - flowers, it is understandable that the director wanted to use the withering of flowers as the node of the heroine's blackening, but it is really unnecessary. After all, the heroine didn't leave a good impression on people from the beginning - the drink she chose, the "waiting" and "forbearance" she chose, can it be called blackening? Finally, after all, this film has great anti-epidemic and anti-AIDS propaganda and educational significance, so give it a star!

    It's very boring, the heroine is definitely a self-inflicted sin and can't live, she deserves to be infected, and if no one is in pain, she will find a spare tire

    The quality of Samsung, the relationship between the characters finally got out of control, and there is absolutely no reason to do it with male girlfriends. The reason why I gave it four stars is that I didn't expect the ending to change, and the second is that the character development is not bad, and the entanglement of women in complex relationships is well represented.
