Violence is the most primitive law

The film "Killing", the work of the master Roman Polanski. Just watched his "Venus in Furs", a theater, two people, a play within a play. "Killing" was released before "Venus in Furs", it has a little more characters, and the structure is similar, that is, the story between two couples and four people in the same closed environment. The four actors, especially the two heroines, are big names in acting, Jodie Foster and Kate Lewinster.

The two couples were originally going to deal with the dispute between the two children fighting and hurting people in the home where the child was beaten, but it turned into a struggle between husband and wife, man and woman, civilization and savagery. I remember what a husband who was a lawyer said: Primitive law is savage violence. Before civilization, violence was the best way to resolve disputes. While the dialogue and negotiation of civilization among adults is still pending, will the children use their own methods to make up for the old evils and make them as good as ever. Would it be a little ironic?

Listen carefully to the dialogue between these two couples, and you will be disappointed in the marriage relationship again after "Gone Lover", because behind every marriage, there are men's deaf ears and women's blindness. In this case, why not enjoy the beginning to the fullest at the beginning of each relationship, and then it is better to miss each other and forget each other in the rivers and lakes.

    This kind of drama-type film, one is to test the actors, and the other is to test the photography. The actors definitely passed the test, the photography was mediocre, and Edelman lacked surprises in the composition of the indoor drama. At first glance, it seemed like a sitcom.

    I used to read Polanski’s autobiography saying “I thought I was the inventor of masturbation very pitifully before the age of eighteen.” I laughed and rolled around. As a result, when I saw his name, my first reaction was still “masturbation.” The inventor is here"...=..=
