The Human Comedy

This film is shot from the perspective of the deceased, the son of the factory owner, Josie. Josie overlooks the earth after his death, and sees his father, mother, girlfriend, rival in love, stepmother, and himself. He overlooks his own A lifetime, telling the story of the world.

This movie is perfect in character structure, emotional advancement, detail settings, picture design, and music settings.
In terms of the character structure, all the characters are reasonably strung into a whole, which expresses the Spanish culture, as well as the desire and character. Finally, the director successfully "matches" them as God has done, whether they are dead or alive. of people, no one is alone.
In terms of emotional advancement, the rational design of the characters' characters has paved the way for passion and sudden changes in the plot, which is reasonable and reasonable.
The detail setting is the best. Various symbols such as pig, ham, garlic, pearl, car logo, bullfighting, parrot, fly, motorcycle, Coca-Cola, underwear, game console, billboard and so on are all put into battle. It fully expresses the "lightness of the soul" of man. In the eyes of God, people are ridiculous, pitiful, and lovely. In the part where Josie had an affair with the bar girl, the performance of his girlfriend and the parrot was so wonderful, that magic fan. And the part about the heroine's strange dream is also quite rich and profound.
In terms of screen design, it is very appropriate to express the emotional changes of the characters, such as the scene where the heroine flies after the bullfighter falls on a motorcycle, and so on.
Needless to say about the music settings, whether it is the dance hall or the ending, the use of music is very reasonable, especially the ending, which powerfully expresses the emotional tone of the whole film, which is a feeling of pity, as if everyone has walked out of pain and suffering. Grief, calm restored, I could see the smile of God on their faces, God has forgiven the ridiculousness of the people, what they did was only out of impulse and tenderness, the dead son stood up again, and everyone was intoxicated In the twilight of the evening, in the shepherd's bell... That shepherd is God, he is shepherding all beings.

Sex and life are the same. The film equates human desire with destiny, and this metaphorical design turns the film into a fatalistic comedy. Such as cheating under the bull ad in which Josie knocked off his penis. In the last act of the fight between the two at the end of the film, Josie hit the bullfighter's lower body, and the bullfighter killed Josie in a fit of rage. Sex is animal and life is divine. Equating the two reflects the director's deep insight into human nature and the benevolent love of others. This feature has also been reflected in novels such as "Giant Biography" and "Salambo".

Also, why did the director choose to let the son of the factory owner die, because in the entire character structure, the son of the factory owner connects all the characters, and is also the weakest of all people. He suffers the most, but he is the most imaginative and impulsive. It can be said that the characteristics of all people are most prominent in him, and the contradictions are also the most intensified in him, so he is the key to finally unraveling the intricate contradictions. A knot. His weak character leads to weakness in his hardware (body, career), so he receives the most damage and suffers the most, so his soul is the "lightest" and closest to God. So the director chose him, just like the pig who was killed by his rival, he was easily killed, and also made a conclusion for everyone's actions, temporarily suspending the competition, people's grievances can be calmed down, and mistakes are made Forgive, emotional comfort. The director is really gentle

. Finally, I want to say that this is a movie where the moral judgment is suspended. Every character is not guilty or punished. Some are just impulsive and tender, some are just misunderstanding and annoyance, the softness and heart-warming nature of human nature. Broken sense of fate, the bullfighter asks his lover's forgiveness at the end of the film, it is not asking for God's forgiveness, because this is the world of people, the place of all tenderness and cruelty. This is the director's world, the world of poetry.
