A rare movie with smooth editing and twists and turns in the story
"The New Order" is a very easy-to-understand movie. The story line is relatively simple and the main characters are relatively monotonous. However, it is such a simple-looking movie, and every frame has its necessity for its existence.
The title of the film is New Order. As the name suggests, it is to overthrow the old order and establish a new order. However, this new order is actually just an order re-established by the ruler of the old order. Under the new order, the beneficiaries are the army that holds military power, while the political and business celebrities and the bottom civilians have become the foes of the new order.
At the beginning of the film, Marianne, a wealthy girl, is holding a wedding banquet. Marriage is an exchange of interests. This is especially true for celebrity wedding banquets. The guests at the wedding banquet are all celebrities. The dowry, the hostess naturally accepted the dowry and put it in the safe.
However, the appearance of an outsider brought an accident to the wedding. The wife of Rolando, the servant of the hostess 8 years ago, lost her eligibility to live in a public hospital because of the riot and needed urgent treatment, so she ran to the hostess to borrow 20 Wan was admitted to a private hospital, and the hostess expressed sympathy after hearing it and gave 35,000 to the male servant. The male owner was familiar with it and wanted to send him casually. Only the female host Marianne thought of her old feelings and tried her best to raise money for the male servant Rolando. However, when the hostess took out her credit card, Rolando had already gone back. In order to save the servant and wife, Marianne resolutely ignored the turmoil outside and drove away.
At this time, the turmoil gradually approached the wedding banquet scene. Several refugees of aboriginal skin color poured into the host's house. The host ordered the butler to shoot the refugees, but was shot by the refugees. Here comes the disaster of the rich. This is the first turning point in the film. The wealthy people who were always high above the ground became prisoners due to a riot. They refused to lend money to the mistress of the former servants, but obediently opened the safe at the gunpoint of the refugees. This is exactly what happened. The most prominent feature of a group is refined egoism.
The time line was pulled forward, and Marianne, who drove out, escaped the catastrophe. He successfully arrived at the servant's house, but at this time the government had imposed a curfew, no one could enter, and several soldiers came to the door, they said. They could send Marianne home, but the soldiers on the road asked Marianne to take off her precious jewelry. Everyone knew that these soldiers would not bring Marianne home, but lead them to the hell of the rich. Here, the kidnapped rich people are concentrated here, and the army uses them to extort money from the families of the rich. The rich people on weekdays have become prisoners. Then rape, murder, and looting will naturally fall on their heads, and the soldiers wantonly rape the rich. Women, enjoy this dislocated order, absurd, yet very reasonable. Seeing this, many people should think that this group of people is just pretending to be the military's treachery, and the rich just got tricked by bad luck, but this is not the case.
The other side of Marianne's family did not give up looking for her. They used their influence to contact the military and asked the military to help them find Marianne. Of course, the military agreed without hesitation, but they searched for a few days to no avail. Marianne's family received the extortion video. At the same time, the former housekeeper of Marianne's family and her son were also ordered by the soldiers to go to the rich people's house to ask for ransom. The rich agreed without hesitation. Sending housekeepers to continue blackmailing, this time the wealthy family realized that continuing to give money would only increase their greedy desires, so they found the military. The military only made some moves this time, and Marianne was quickly taken away from the concentration camp by the soldiers. When the audience thought that the heroine was about to be released, the reversal was staged again. Marianne was taken to the housekeeper and killed. There were only the housekeeper and her son, as well as Rolando, the male servant. The crime was naturally placed here. The three were taken advantage of, and the remaining rich people in the concentration camp were shot and killed in turn. It turned out that these soldiers were directly under the command of the military and extorted them according to the military's instructions.
After the military gets the benefits, it will naturally not leave a living room and cause trouble for itself, and the reason for creating the illusion that Marianne was killed by a servant is to deceive Marianne's family and give them an explanation. After all, the riot at Marianne's house has servants. not to mention that rich people like them have never believed and will not believe how noble the servants are. The military’s operation has shaped itself into a tall image to protect the rich, and received a lot of ransoms. It can be said to make a lot of money. The three servants were shot a few days later, and a new order was established.
The story came to an abrupt end here. One after another riots were launched by civilians. The final beneficiary was actually the military who did not seem to have a drop of blood on their hands. At the end of the story, it was not necessary to guess and understand that the civilians at the bottom were still the civilians at the bottom, and they still lived. With a miserable life, the political and business celebrities suffered heavy losses. They were bright and beautiful on weekdays, but when the social contract was completely broken, they became helpless. A group of celebrities finally sat high on the ruling seat and looked down on all beings.
It is also a film that attempts to reveal class contradictions and reflect social divisions. Compared with the film "Parasite", "The Hunger Platform", "Joker" and other films that take more than two minutes at every turn, the narrative method of "New Order" can be described as one-stop, and the editing is also very smooth. In just 80 minutes, the current problems of Mexican society are torn apart layer by layer with a sharp blade. In the director's words, "this is only slightly different from Mexico in reality".
The story in the movie is not in violation of peace in the United States, Myanmar and other countries in recent years. Totalitarian politics has re-staged in Myanmar. The continuous imbalance of the distribution system has ignited the demonstrations of American civilians, and even used riots to confront elites. It is no surprise that such a short and powerful film can win the Venice Jury Prize. It is no surprise that this film is destined to be rejected by mainstream filmmakers in Western countries. After all, Hollywood can give "The Elegy of the Countryman" for its own selfish desire Send the nomination of golden raspberry.
