Everyone wants to tell a good story in ancient times, China and abroad.
The artistic expression and cultural background contained in the story text have strong moving power and are more conducive to long-term preservation.
Some people don’t think so.
They just wanted to tell one -
" bad story "
Favolacce
director Damiano and Fabio are two brothers.
"Bad Story" nominated for Golden Bear Award at the 70th Berlin International Film Festival and won the Silver Bear Award for Best script.
Their "Latin America" directed by them last year was nominated for the Golden Lion Award at the 78th Venice Film Festival .
The male lead is Italian actor Elio Gemano.
He won the Cannes and Berlin Best Actors with "Our Life" and " I Want to Hide ".
The story begins with a diary.
Male narration tells him that he picked up this diary written by a strange little girl.
The diary was interrupted in half. He couldn't help but decide to continue writing the rest of the content himself.
So, the plot of this film is inspired by a real story.
And the real story comes from another false story.
He created a virtual community, a poor residential area in the suburbs of Rome.
time occurs in summer.
In people's impression, all good things should happen in summer: watermelon soda, school uniform youth first love.
But "Roast Story" is exactly the opposite. Although it has bright and fresh pictures, the atmosphere is getting more dull.
As the long comment summary:
There are fathers with retarded IQs, silent mothers, fathers who beat people and mothers who always cry. There are memory black holes that many people have experienced when they were young and are never willing to mention.
First of all, there are parents who have collapsed.
A scene that happened within five minutes of the opening scene is suitable for families in every country.
A bunch of relatives and friends gathered together, listening to his father Bruno chattering.
Bruno brags about it, and asked the two children to take out their transcripts and read them aloud in front of everyone.
finishes, and you still have to "Versailles" all at once.
In just a few minutes, it awakened the nightmare of netizens.
Let me ask, who was not criticized by his parents in front of everyone’s grades when he was a student? The upgraded version of
is also forced to play musical instruments and speak English.
If this is said to be just a display of Bruno's vanity as a parent.
So the following things, exposed his pathology as a man.
For example, their family of four is having a good meal.
Son Dennis was stuck with a fishbone, and Bruno could lose his temper when he was emotionally out of control.
Also, his yard has become a public park in the entire community and a place for neighbors and children to play in the water and rest.
A neighbor jealous of Bruno, who shaved his daughter's hair under the pretext of "the daughter's hair grows lice after she came out of his swimming pool."
And Bruno, he was alone in the inflatable swimming pool at night, and he was nervous and directly scratched the pool with a knife.
Here is very interesting, because the male narration tells:
"Dennis and his sister were unhappy when they saw the pool broken in the morning. It was Bruno who comforted the two children."
Not to mention when the role of mother was already marginalized, Dennis just asked Bruno, "Is your relationship with your mother okay?", and Bruno fought his son.
ended, and he started crying cowardly again.
Ironically, Bruno and his neighbor talked about dirty and obscene words to someone else's wife at their child's birthday party.
There is no wonder that parents with such irresponsible and distorted personality give birth to precocious children.
For the children in the film, the director used more exaggerated lines and pictures to express how profound the influence of the original family was.
In the bathroom, a little girl was searching Dennis for her father's phone's pornographic website visit records and said shocking lines:
"But we have sex at least once, right? This is the complete relationship."
In a blink of an eye, on the grass in the afternoon, Daniel even took off only a pair of underwear....
and another scene that shocked the chin:
Dennis's eyes kept wandering on a pregnant woman, and the two got along and talked alone.
Pregnant woman lifted her clothes directly, squeezed the milk onto the biscuits and handed it to him.
It can be seen that this community is equivalent to a micro society, and it seems calm on the surface.
But amid the abuse of parents and the anger of children, they have already quietly festered.
What parents want is a higher level of life, such as upgrading salary increases and welfare guarantees.
But they found that no matter how hard they tried, their consumption level was far from reaching the fantasy middle class.
Therefore, they felt a sense of frustration and powerlessness, and had to live a life by destroying the moral bottom line.
So both adults and children are so confused that there are no ethical rules.
But where can they escape?
As for the last straw that broke the camel's back, it was an anti-personal teacher in the community.
This teacher has appeared few times, but he has the idea of destroying his entire life.
From the conversation with the school leader, we can know that he actually taught elementary school students how to make two mini bombs.
Then, he also explained the highly toxic pesticides in detail.
A kind of pesticide that can be bought in any store, but it is the most dangerous pesticide on the market.
This teacher is probably the embodiment of the devil.
The devil never kills people by himself. It instigates and induces primary school students who have not even formed their own views and consciously jump into the grave.
So in the early morning, Dennis and his sister drank pesticides one after another, quietly waiting for the arrival of death.
Perhaps it is because everything happens around them that makes them feel bored, and thus they have the idea of being tired of the world.
But the real culprit is the negative and negative impact of the "hopeless life" conveyed by the entire family.
And what did Bruno do after seeing the tragic situation of his two children?
He returned to the bed, holding himself in his arms to prevent himself from crying, and then ran out with his child in his arms when his wife screamed.
is Bruno who created violence and repression for this family, but in the end he didn't even have the courage to face death.
The opposite is a boy with urticaria and his father.
My father had some problems with his head, but he was the wisest person in this film.
He just wants his son to live healthy and happy.
and he noticed something was wrong with the environment early on.
"Here are all fake good people, they live without any worries, the whole shit"
He completed the withdrawal procedures for his son in advance, and the two of them defected to their relatives' house.
At a relative's house, the director accomplished his purpose to allow real and fictional stories to blend with each other.
Because of the beginning and end, the same family murder case reported on TV.
A young couple drowned their child in the bathtub, and then both jumped off the building and committed suicide.
Life is always composed of a series of disasters, the director said, this is a "bad story" he made up.
In the end, we realized that this is not a bad story. What really makes is life itself.
