The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, after all, was a little bit close.

Compared with "The Mermaid in the Sewer", the Texas Chainsaw Massacre has fewer disgusting elements. The corpse without maggots and the human organs made into various household utensils are not sick, but shudder, because of the decaying corpse. It just makes you want to vomit. The third-rate painter with the corpse in front of you is really disgusting. And under your feet, beside you, the mutilated corpse in your hand, and the one holding the chainsaw in front of you. But it will make you think that your fate is worrying. This is the essence of horror movies, just like China's most famous horror novel "Painted Skin", which does not shock you, but thinks of yourself. Painted skin will never exist, so I watched it. Because of the existence of perverts, it has reached a new height from reality.
The originality of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is derived from the true story of the United States in the 1950s. The madness of obsession with women is not at all interested in sexual behavior. This is how ethical contradictions happen, because the world is not just him. His family, his parents, elder brothers, fellow villagers... could all become accomplices because they changed a person's character. This is one of the great highlights of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre". It reflects social reality. If there is no cannibal family, there would be no homicide, and naturally there would be no innocent death. A society can shape and destroy people, but some people “reckon” and abandon themselves, and some people go to the extreme of perversion.
The second highlight of "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is that when the last woman escaped from the clutches, she laughed madly on the pickup truck, her eyes were hollow, how could she not be hollow? The heart has been hollowed out. Li Shangyin once poems "All sceneries are love words". Just like the numb people portrayed by Coppola in "Apocalypse Now", both the mad and the numb are the people who have been taken out of their hearts. The two highlights speak of the exaggerated, hypocritical, arrogant and cowardly social reality of the United States in the 1970s, and the social environment full of pride and discrimination. So it is profound.
In a sense, "Texas Chainsaw Massacre" is an original conception of "The Silent Lambs", including a familiar mask, revealing a vicious mouth and a cannibalistic mouth. Lu Xun said that "Old China was a cannibalistic world", while the United States at that time was a world of autophagy, emptiness and ethereal, and everything was the mosquitoes in the Vanity Fair. When Yang Jiang’s younger sister, Yang Bi, translated Vanity Fair, she translated it into "The Void Bazaar". Life can be bought or sold, and naturally it can also be discarded.
Finally, it is a little bit worse. Compared with human nature, some things are insignificant, and the desire to kill is never better than the desire to survive. The last escape can only be called comfort, comfort you and I have been stimulated for 91 minutes. Hope did not appear. Do you know who the person in that small truck is? Maybe it's another homicide, an electric drill homicide? Are you a scalpel murderer? Cannibals? !
Hope is not in my own hands, it is a kind of sadness. It is also the pain of modern society. There are too many pains, and it is also a burden!
