A low-cost B-level film was turned over by the President of the United States.
With the consistent taste of Trump, the things he criticizes often have some merits.
This is the case with "The Hunt", which seems to be a well-deserved American-style plasma B-level film, but it is stimulated by political irony to give out a different kind of fun.
The story is very simple. A group of people suddenly woke up in a clearing and found that they were hunted. They could choose weapons to defend themselves, and they were hunted by a group of more well-equipped wealthy people.
The prey must do everything possible to escape.
This model is very similar to the Japanese movie "Battle Royale", which constructs an extremely absurd utopia-like closed environment. Morality and law will no longer have any effect in this world. Only the most basic desire to survive, and the power of the weak. the rules of jungle.
The hunter is not necessarily completely safe. The prey has the right to fight back and can fight back.
Such a story is of course an excellent text for the interpretation of violent aesthetics, not to mention whether it is beautiful or not, the film does not hesitate to write about killing and death in a fancy way of splashing blood.
Only a moment after the beginning of the story, various deaths followed one after another.
The opening of the movie is very interesting, all kinds of anti-routines, one by one, the characters who look like the protagonist, after a few minutes of each leading the plot, they eagerly lead the lunch.
The real protagonist has been hanging up in the air, and the big boss "Athena" also stays behind the scenes.
The irony of the film has been fully revealed from the beginning. The "Hunters" are a group of hypocritical politically correct "white left" elites. They speak carefully for fear of being a model, but their arrogance and prejudice can't hide them.
The hunted are no good birds, gun lovers, wild animal hunters, homophobics, white supremacists, and the most terrible Internet scammers.
These people acted for each other and acted as cause and effect. They hunted and killed each other, and they have achieved the unique political picture of the United States today.
The people at the bottom are selfish, have no morality or compassion, provoke cyber violence and promote nationalism;
The elites are hypocritical, arrogant, hypocritical, self-righteous but stupid, full of political correctness, but they commit murder;
The "prey" gave the "hunters" a reason to kill, and the "hunters" took the opportunity to start the slaughter.
Only the heroine, the only protagonist, is different in the movie.
She has no "original sin", she is an innocent person who has been caught by mistake; she has real military experience, her combat effectiveness is exploding, and her IQ is also super high; she is not stuck in any doctrines, and has a clear understanding of her own situation and way out. Able to implement actions quickly; she is not cold-blooded, but she also has no excessive compassion and does not kill indiscriminately, but she does not hesitate in situations that threaten her survival.
The heroine and the villain BOSS Athena mirror each other, and the two are actually half a cat. It’s just that Athena, who is in a high position in the real world, generally doesn’t notice such a small character as the heroine, but she and the rich and elite The killing game created by friends has become the heroine.
The heroine's military skills and talent for killing are useless in a civilized society, but in hunting, they have become an absolute advantage that can dominate the entire situation.
The hunters have sophisticated weapons, exquisite camouflage, and military advisors, but in the end they are still destroyed because the heroine is like a goddess, like a "predator" from outer space, carrying out dimensionality reduction strikes.
Her entry was a complete misunderstanding, and the hunters made the wrong object. A seemingly inadvertent flaw, the plan to retreat from the whole body fell short of success. Elites are often shrewd, but they are planted in small things that they don't care about.
"Hunting" is not a simple plasma violent movie. Behind the horror and killing, it has made a very vivid and profound irony, and it has derived a very advanced sense of humor. It can be said that "Hunting" as a comedy movie is a more complete work than "Hunting" as an action movie.
If you look at the production team, you will not be surprised by the amazing performance of the text of "The Hunt". The screenwriter of the movie is Damon Lindelof, the screenwriter of the American drama "Lost", and the director has directed "Western World". "And Craig Chobe of "American Gods."
Of course, as a completely overhead story, "The Hunt" actually has many problems logically, and it can't stand careful consideration. Similarly, at the level of violent aesthetics, the production of the movie is far from exquisite, and the design of killing also appears careless. It is estimated that it is difficult to satisfy the appetite of pure plasma film lovers.
Directors and screenwriters still spend more time on satire, so there are often humorous passages in the movie that make people laugh. The ridicule of Bai Zuo and Red Neck are all in, and they are to the point.
Trump has never seen a feature film before, otherwise he should know that the film did not challenge his political views from the perspective of Hollywood, but instead set the opposing sides to fight against each other.
Moreover, the irony and sarcasm of the film to the White Zuo who are Trump’s political enemies is far more fierce and fierce than to his supporters, and it can be regarded as a "friendly army."
As for metaphors, the film is far from reaching a profound level because of this political element. Putting a little pig to run around, and desperately touching porcelain, George Orwell was also pulling the flag to make tiger skins. The clever irony just makes the movie look "smart" and "interesting". It's a bit too much to go online to interpret or even cling to art films.
After all, this is just a B-level film with a limited budget, from start to finish, with a fast pace, and a lot of production problems, but not dull, funny, and full of entertainment. He insisted on dropping his book bag, and when interpreting the party, it was no different from the Athena who was dying to talk about "Animal Farm."
