Rare film. I heard that it was nominated for the Best Foreign Language Film Oscar in 2017, but there are no commercials that slammed and attacked. After watching the trailer in Taiwan, I felt that it was warm and didn’t feel great, but after watching it, I kept thinking about why such a good-looking film did not receive much attention, and no one even mentioned it. After watching it, I wondered whether it was a Polish or a Hungarian one. After all, Eastern Europe is far away from us. From the perspective of cultural analysis, it should be deeply influenced by Russia and Germany. But regardless of the sublime culture, this film directly explores the deepest love and sex, flesh and spirit of human nature. It is not like the desolation of Russia, nor the rigor of Germany, nor the psychological pressure brought to us by art films. Deeply witty humor and European film-specific graphic confessions. I checked the information on the Internet, and it was the best film at the 2017 Berlin Golden Bear Award. This relieved me.
Of course, I'm chasing award-winning films, which saves me the trouble of finding films. But this film is really not included in my list of award-winning films. I just heard the name and watched the preview. The name is quite unattractive, and it still uses the method of the 20th century. But for a movie to point directly to people's hearts, in fact, the name is quite critical. After watching it, I really feel that apart from this flesh and spirit, it seems that I can't find a better movie name. Flesh and spirit, to put it bluntly, are the flesh and spirit of the people in the world. The director's perspective does not seem to be limited to humans. There is a pair of male deer and doe in the play. They are greasy, in love, and even lingering, but they are not animalistic, as if the two animals are in love. The plot of a fairy tale actually happens to animals. This is the hero and heroine who dream the same dream every night. The hero is a buck and the heroine is a doe. This is a complete transcendence of the physical body to achieve spiritual harmony.
The structure of the story is that the treasurer of the slaughterhouse falls in love with a new employee who seems to be autistic but has a strong memory. The director brought us into the animal world again. The director has her own arguments when interpreting animals. I saw the cows, alive with curious eyes as they were, and with the mechanized method, from killing to disintegration, I even wanted to stop eating beef. It was a completely cruel world. People exchanged for the demise of another life that also lived on the earth for their own appetite. Is it to do whatever we want to satisfy the shallow desires of our "human beings"? Many people do not eat beef because of Buddhism, and many people do not eat pork because of Islam. In fact, religion tells us that we should treat every life equally. Just talking, when we see those delicious meats, there is really no reason not to eat them, but when eating, don't forget how these "meat" serve us "human beings". In this way, there will be gratitude. The director described the "meat" part incisively and vividly.
Another hilarious part is that the slaughterhouse's passion catalyst to boost cattle production is stolen. A cow weighs more than 400 kilograms. If the catalyst is used on people, what effect will it have? It turned out to be the personnel director of the factory, and found that his wife was messing with men and women in the factory. It used to be said that men like sex and women like love, but I don't know that there are women who reverse their roles for sex and men for love. The side writing on the side of the film also supports half of the sky in this film. Personally I think it's a very prominent part...
The heroine is of course the representative of "spirit". She doesn't interact with people, and everything around her is kept spotless. Severe autism, no physical contact with anyone, unable to talk to people, not even a mobile phone. At the age of youth, she is still looking at the psychiatrist she saw when she was a child. But after discovering that he had the same dream as the male protagonist, he fell in love with the male protagonist. Here comes the question? How does she go from being fully spiritual to being a flesh-and-blood person with love and sex? This transformation for the sake of love is the most fascinating part of the film. Of course, it is not for the Golden Bear Award, but to give an excellent evaluation. It's just that the director subverted our imagination, layer upon layer, step by step, the heroine will not hesitate to buy a mobile phone for love, not hesitate to touch the body of the cow in the slaughterhouse, not hesitate to lie on the grass to experience nature, and everything. , made close contact. If we understand the world from the eyes of the heroine, there should be only precise numbers, unchanging expressions, orderly environments, and corners of no-man’s land, which are the places where she can live! We pity, but also let us move. Oh! Plus the director's humorous expression.
After the female protagonist was unable to physically contact the male protagonist, the male protagonist thought of giving up. He found a woman and her XX. After he was done, he told the woman to leave, and he didn't even want to sleep with her. In fact, the difference between men's sex and love is very obvious. They're high on sex, but after it's done, they can walk; women aren't, and sex without love feels like the title of a movie, "Sentimentality After Sex." There is no way for women to love because of sex (there is no way to guess the idea of the wife of the personnel director in the film, it may be crazy love!), while men can combine love and sex, or sex because of sex, because of love And sex. But is it a little bit "animal sentimental after sex" that men have sex with women? I really don't know, I have to ask men...
When the male protagonist rejected the female protagonist, the female protagonist cut her wrists to commit suicide, and the blood surging from her wrists made us truly feel that the female protagonist is a living person, no longer an isolated fairy. Fortunately, the ending was happy. They no longer had the same dream after they had sex. When the heroine grabbed the disabled left hand of the male lead and placed it in her hand, we knew that she had slowly learned to combine love. He Yu, the heroine finally became an elf who fell from the mortal world, ending the first half of her life in heaven and earth.
