This killer is very cold, this killer does not pretend to be B.

I was fine last night and watched "Informer" all night, but today I didn't finish the manuscript but I finished watching "The Mechanic" all night. Compared the two films, the difference between the two films is clear! This is the story of a cold-blooded killer. The process of killing is smooth and heartily. It really embodies the truth that doing one thing to the extreme is art.

I am used to watching literary and artistic movies (such as "This Killer Is Not So Cold", "Let the Bullets Fly"). While watching it, I look forward to the appearance of some killers who also have feelings, or think about the right or wrong of killing, or when killing people who don’t want to kill. There are almost no plots of struggle, and some are covered in a vague way.

The thing that surprised me most about this film is its purity. The killing is so pure. What is purity? Just don't install B. Don't think about life, don't sing songs like "the meaning of killing", don't discuss whether killing is right.

This movie has no laughs, no tears, a few seconds of dew point but no pornography, cold-blooded murder scenes but no deliberate blood (in contrast, "Informant" has more disgusting bloody scenes), storyline There is no obvious stacking or flaws (in contrast to the thunder and embarrassing plot of "Informer"). It is a film that does not flatter the audience and does not deliberately please the audience.

But after reading it, I found that it turned out that not pretending to B can make work and life so extreme. It turned out that not pretending to be B is so chic and handsome. I was a person who pretended to be B very much. After watching this movie, I had a new idea of ​​pretending to be B.

When I wrote a film review of another foreign language film before, I also said that it was a film that "not deliberately pleases the audience" (I forgot which one it was). I even dared not to be funny or sensational. Dare not. Maybe our director will also envy others. He can make his own movies seriously, without thinking about whether the audience will laugh or cry, curse or scold them, and don't worry about cutting and cutting before they can be released.

Whether it is possible to create art without flattery, although it has something to do with the market, the quality of the audience, and related systems, it also has a lot to do with the author's own wishes. For example, my hobby is taking pictures, personal hobbies, and self-entertainment without commercial elements, but I also unknowingly also "think about the reaction of the person watching the photos" to take pictures, thinking about making others look good and making others feel good. I feel meaningful and move others. I have only recently discovered that this is wrong. You must first move yourself (the truth is very simple, but even if you understand it, you will still unconsciously think of others when you actually take pictures).

So I built a new photo album called "One Shutter, One Unrequited Love". I hope that when I take photos, I must first look like crush and unrequited love. No matter what the other person thinks, no matter what other people think, but I myself have to feel "love", wishful thinking, and unrepentant.

Well, at five o'clock in the morning, after watching the movie and writing the film review, continue to rush to the draft.
