God is dead, my heart is king

Caché was a little unpleasant to look at people with his chin on his chin, dressed in detective suspense + soul distortion + family ethics, and told a half-baked theme: "The omniscient and omnipotent God knows that everyone has a dirty Dirty little secret", and he will punish and liquidate all kinds of crimes in due course.

Most of Georges who confessed as the main line were paranoid + delusional patients. He stubbornly identified an enemy who wanted to take destructive revenge on his life, and dreamed of persecution wishfully. His sins are knowing guilt, arrogance and attachment, lack of fear, and knowing not to wake up. The video tape reminds him not to forget the harm he has done to others. The clues guide him through memory and the rich and abundant life now, forcing him to look directly at the victim of the year. The sins you forgot, whether intentional or unintentional, will not disappear silently like a mist, but will definitely leave traces in the air, and will be tried, not necessarily in court, and sentenced to the defendant. Going to jail, but like in the movie, the air you breathe is no longer easy, but full of oppression and tension, it is the "I don't kill Yi Ren, but Yi Ren died because of me". There will be retribution after sins, but it is quite the meaning of "good and evil will be rewarded" in our cultural tradition. The intimate scene of Anna meeting with friend Pierre being witnessed by her son actually means the same-we bear the consequences of our actions.

To say that Caché is unpleasant is that the director feels a little bit overwhelming, replacing the eye of God with the camera. In the film, a TV station director said to Georges, "This is a polytheistic country." Caché is not as full of religious significance as "The Seven Deadly Sins", has no clues from the Bible, and does not use a solemn and peaceful soundtrack like Air On the G String. In Caché's world, the director's camera becomes a hologram. Of god. Not only the United States, France also has a large number of foreign immigrants, native French people and people from the former colonies. The cultural conflict is also huge. The Paris riots a while ago seems to have arisen because of this, a France that proclaims "freedom, equality, and fraternity." There are also serious racial problems and the gap between the rich and the poor (I occasionally care about international politics and speak carefully). In the film, the child Georges deliberately hurt at the age of 6 is of Algerian Asian. The appearance of this symbolic symbol in the film is obviously not an accident. The children of the French farmer are afraid of their lives being the children of the family’s helpers. He was framed by sharing, and he was misunderstood as a dangerous lunatic. He was not able to get a better life and education. The result was that the child was in his middle age to show that he did not intimidate and peep into Georges’ life. Extremely choose to commit suicide. Perhaps it can be interpreted as a thoughtful injury to another relatively weak person/party/state/interest group by a person/party/state/interest group who fears that their dominant position is threatened.

Caché at the Cannes Film Festival last year allowed Michael Haneke to win the Best Director Award again after the 2001 "Piano Teacher", perhaps not because Michael Haneke pretended to be God, but because this film carries multiple possibilities for interpretation-human nature , Ethics, morality, politics...and so on.

    1. Haneke's version of "Mystic River", a kind of prejudice and disagreement homogenized by the distorted world; 2. The camera that has never been seen is actually Haneke's usual "prank", just like "Fun Games". "The magical rewind, the director himself is a "character" that cannot be ignored.

    Unbearable human nature, countless suspicions. Haneke also only asked questions and never gave answers, so he knew enough. Had it not been for the children of the Darney brothers, Haneke would have been involved in the Palme d'Or in 2005. The 58th Cannes Best Director Award, the International Film Critics Fabisi Award, and the Catholic Humane Spirit Award. The 62nd class of Haneke's white ribbon has finally entered the Palme d'Or, proving that this is the case.

  • Georges Laurent: Isn't it lonely, if you can't go out?

    Georges's Mom: Why? Are you less lonely because you can sit in the garden? Do you feel less lonely in the metro than at home? Well then! Anyway, I have my family friend... with remote control. Whenever they annoy me, I just shut them up.
