After the dull June deadline, this independent film from New Zealand can definitely awaken your senses. Let me first introduce this peculiar artist, who is also an author-type director: Taika Waititi. If you search for his interviews, you will find that he is a natural "hyperactivity disorder" plus "performer freak". So he starred in many of his own movie works, such as "Māori Boys" in 2010, "Eagle and Shark" in 2007, "Vampire Life" in 2014 and so on.
(I doubt it, this is the director's deity)
(The real person Changjiangzi, how dissatisfied with his desires) This new film "Hunting the Barbarians" also shined at the Sundance at the beginning of the year, and was bought out of the North American distribution rights, and a small-scale theater line began in June. It was released and scored as high as 8.5 points on IMDb, and Metascore even gave 80 points, with a minimum score of 60 points, which passed the whole line. It can be seen the popularity of this new film. In addition, the 75-year-old director Taiga Viditi has taken over the shooting of the Hollywood blockbuster "Thor 3". It is unimaginable if the tonality of the Thor series changes It has become a savage and fresh Maori, and it is also a good choice! (joke). Before this New Zealand director who has exhausted all his abilities to "funny" step into the big Hollywood dyeing vat, let's talk about his lovely new film "Hunting the Barbarians". The opening tone is set: When the film of clumsy funny and childlike chorus Taiga Viditi comes up, it is often accompanied by a chorus soundtrack, allowing the audience to instantly enter his movie world from a full range of senses. A child who fantasizes that his father is a heroic character, a problematic teenager who is destroying everywhere, those pure and interesting images of children can always be different from the others under his lens, making the audience the first Time is full of curiosity and favor for this child who may be naive, childish, or rebellious, instead of judging their thoughts and behaviors from the perspective of social rules and the perspective of adults.
Director: Taiga Viditi, also attaches great importance to the element of text. In "Maori Boys", the term Potential is used repeatedly, the teacher's evaluation of the child, the child's incomprehension, and then self-denial. It directly expresses what the director wants to say to the audience. Can you see the potential of each child? In the new film "Hunting the Barbarians", Uncle Eke is a poorly literate hunter, and Little Fatty Ricky likes to read, and the heaviest word in the film should be the name on the "Tombstone" of Uncle Eke's love dog: Zag. Leaving the character out of the law, but still cool. This sentence was used in the director: Taiga Viditi’s "Māori Boys". He himself played the inconspicuous father. He once explained to the eldest son what a gang organization is: “It’s a group of people, outside of the law. But still cool.". In "Hunting the Barbarians", the actor, Fatty, talks all day about what he wants to be: Gangsta. This time, the director simply set the two protagonists as such social roles: free from the law and escape in the jungle, but they are still cool. Only this time, they are not Gangsta, but Wilderpeople, the opposite of city people. The two went from quarreling to walking side by side in the jungle, to accidental separation. Little Fatty Ricky didn't panic at all, because his uncle had already taught him how to survive in the wild: look for water, walk up to the high ground, and don't be naked. He lives earnestly, but he does not lose humor. After a while, the encounter between Xiaopang and his uncle in the jungle is not surprising at all. They are both men who can live independently and freely. They smiled at each other, not disappointed with each other, uncle was not caught, and Fatty Ricky was unscathed.
Make every effort to make the audience laugh. Director: Taiga Viditi, once gave a TED talk about his work: Creativity. And his innate Maori and European Jewish descent, he kept all the boy's preferences, smearing comics, making his own cartoons, and imitating his idol: Mike Jackson. His first film is simply an extreme product of the cultural worship of Mike Jackson and the Japanese samurai. In the "hunting down the barbarians", a large number of American gangster culture and Hollywood blockbuster influences were added. And he would mix and match such American pop culture with his native culture every time. Those beautiful chorus soundtracks are the best chemical effects. (The dialogue in this scene is the same as the plot of "The Lord of the Rings" avoiding the knight, and my uncle is speechless.) Director: Taiga Viditi said that painting, photography, and filming are all creating fun Thing, and he is a sincere creator who does his best to make the audience laugh. His works cover a wide range, mix and match the strange tastes, and often make people laugh. Not so much that it caters to American culture, it is better to say that it is aimed at popular culture that resonates with fans around the world. The charm of Western mainstream culture spreads to every corner of the world, even in remote New Zealand villages, the little boy who admires Mike Jackson, and the cute uncle who caught the little fat Ricky and posted a selfie on the social network. Our mentality of chasing pop culture is all shown by him in the camera. Whether it's "Maori Boy" or "Hunting the Barbarians", the film uses weird funnyness to overcome the boring society. Director: Taiga Viditi has a more mature grasp of the story and a larger layout, especially the vast natural environment in the new film, which has released the film's feelings of chasing freedom, although the chasing bridge is a bit overwhelming. Taiga Viditi’s funny methods are sometimes very low-level, and sometimes they have unexpected surprises. It is difficult for you to guess, those are deliberately added, and which are natural, because he himself is a madman and has no self-restraint. .
(New Zealanders’ weird humor is in their bones)
Although I don't know if his "Thor 3" will be as novel as ever, his new film always attracts people's attention and wins a good reputation. This film tells the interesting stories that happened in the wild in a savage way, and let the audience experience it together. There is no superhero, and the film is fighting for freedom. Even if the method is partial, violent, and nonsensical. In the absence of new film resources, I suggest that you check out his previous works first, and you will not be disappointed. 2016 Xiao Xuan Er Ji
