The movie's promotional poster is a woman's warm smiling face, which is warm enough, but as Zhang Yuan said: "The world is cruel, and the movie is happy." The film "Eel" tells cruelty in peace.

If you read the beginning of "The Eel", you will understand what a mask is and what a hypocrisy is. The wife is preparing the lunch box for her husband when fishing, how tender, how good the love is, OK, you can stop, and then look at her "heart and drip" animal adultery, forgive me for describing it like this, you know the camouflage is terrible, That's enough to keep you awake at night.

The husband killed his wife, but he still feels guilty, not sure if he loves her or not. He alienates himself into an eel, talks to the eel, and lives with the eel. This is how life is. It changes from time to time and becomes something else. Kafka is a beetle and Cao Xueqin is a stone. It seems that only in this way can we escape from human beings, speak freely and grow freely. There is also a friend in the movie who waits day and night for the arrival of aliens, and he cannot communicate with people.

Fortunately, Imamura Shohei is telling a story about love, so the movie turns into a happy, lovely woman who doesn't believe in disguise appears, and she turns her husband into a human again, although he may end up in prison, but At least, at least he can face everything naturally.

But is life like this? Most of the time, it should not be, after the change, no one will come to save you. . So, we don't want to be something else, we don't want to be alienated or something, we all work hard to be good people. So, once you become something else, or learn to pretend, wear a mask like your wife, or become cruel, destroy them and yourself.

How about the grilled eel, put it in your mouth and eat it well.

    The exiled eels have no memories, and the lonely men and women redeem each other.

    The male protagonist was released on bail and opened a barber shop hoping to return to normal life. On the way, he met a desperate woman, and the two healed each other. A flat, pale redemption story. The ideas of some details are good, but they are not presented enough. Treating the eel as a friend is more of a kind of imprisonment, and the final release is also to liberate the male protagonist himself - no development; the male protagonist is guilty of himself. The positioning and the ambivalence of coming forward to protect the heroine - did not unfold; the two themes of jealousy and forgiveness - did not unfold either. The male protagonist runs through the whole film's psychology (why raising eels), and it should be gradually enriched with the plot, instead of saying it all at once, exposing the film's intentions too much, which is not a good expression. The sub-line is what happened to the heroine, but that has nothing to do with the main line of the male protagonist. The heroine looks like an outsider no matter how she looks at it. Her interactions with the hero are very cheap. The so-called different side of human nature is nothing more than jealousy. Every turning point, like the female protagonist knowing the male protagonist's past, the male protagonist's re-entry to prison for the female protagonist, etc., are also very absent-minded, only the scheduling of a few long shots of the fight is not bad, but it is also overused. .
