Some netizens said that this seemingly absurd story is a portrayal of Spanish history. Yes, two clowns, one is a shy and introverted sad clown who was traumatized in childhood; the other is a alcoholic and violent clown, but after wearing makeup, he is very lively and lovely. The clown is hypocritical, contradictory, antagonistic, and different. Director Iglesia also said that the reason for setting up such a pair of diametrically opposed characters is to express the trauma and spiritual distortion caused by the fascist-Franco government's rule. Such an opposing character, one good and one evil. The Spanish Civil War in the 1930s, the war between the democratic Communist Party, the left wing of the Republican Party and the right wing of the fascist Franco military government brought disaster to Spain, starvation, death, chaos, and suffering from human nature. ravaged.
People who are stimulated are always anxious, angry and even self-destructive, just like my entire viewing experience, anxious and tangled, uneasy and wanton, fear, tension, despair, negativity, avoidance, violence, the ugliest and most ugliest of human nature. The dark, most helpless and manic emotions are dripping and venting wantonly. This is this movie, this is this Spanish-style, Gothic, maybe Quentin-style, depressed, burning, violent, and cathartic. The self-rescue of human anxiety will always be an eternal topic, as long as there is cruelty, darkness and violence in this world.
It's been a long time since I've seen a surprising and memorable video, maybe this counts as one!
