"Requiem for a Dream" 2000
The film directed by Darren Aronofsky, adapted from the novel by Hubert Selby, Jr., describes It reveals the embarrassment of a group of people's luxury addiction-drugs, illicit drugs, caffeine (Baidu) and dreams. Those "chilling" images that touch people's hearts are extremely shocking, so you'd better be careful with your stomach. The only positive thing about this film is that its tragic ending can place it in the anti-drug propaganda. Although there are many passionate scenes in the film, director Aronofsky not only wants the audience to enjoy it, but his persistent exploration of the character's heart completely gathers the soul of the film, and then, you You know what a shock is, a shock so great that it is difficult to experience it a second time.
"When the Wind Blows" 1986
This seemingly tender cartoon tells the story of a rural couple who, in order to escape the impending nuclear explosion during the war, He built a shelter by himself, but eventually died of the poison of nuclear radiation unknowingly, and finally analyzed the damage caused by war to society and people from a personal level. The old man in the story accepted everything the government told him and believed that the world was peaceful now. How could there be nuclear radiation? Something that cannot be seen or smelled at all. In this way, amidst the lies, an old couple spent their last days peacefully and peacefully, without being disturbed by life and death or being involved in the war. Perhaps the most tragic part is that they believe that nuclear war is no different from World War II. I thought that if I could not die during World War II, I could survive any war.
"Dancer in the Dark" 2000
After "Breaking the Waves" in 1996, director Lars von Trier completely abandoned the usual sophistication of genre films. Beauty, those forms accepted by most people, are even unbearable for him. "Breaking the Waves," "Dogville," "Dancer in the Dark" and even the not-so-successful "Mandalay" are all stories about women. As the protagonists of the story, they all made A choice that makes sense but has no good consequences. They all want to help others, but because they are single and weak, they are always bound by financial, gender, emotional, etc. reasons, which ultimately constrain themselves. And the people around them will even make it difficult for them, asking them to give up their reputation or identity to accept those humble favors. "Dancer in the Dark" is not much different from other works, but because of Bjork's appearance, the pain of this film is particularly strong. She vividly interprets the painful moans of an immigrant factory worker, telling step by step her fate of saving money for her son's eye disease while she is rapidly heading towards blindness. Lars von Trier planned the rhythm of the story according to every tragic plot point in the script, so that he could maximize the delivery of Bjork's tragedy and kindness. In the end, it is able to touch people's hearts, also because it controls every hope that is about to come true to vanish into nothing at the moment before it is most brilliant. But even with its tragic plot, heartbreaking music and Bj?rk's irreplaceable performance, Dancer in the Dark can still be called a "beautiful" movie.
"The Sick: The Life and Death of Bob Flanagan, the Super-Sexual Masochist" 1997
Bob Flanagan died of cystitis at the age of 43 Fibroids, he is a performance artist, but his performances are all about sadism and masochism. This alone is enough to scare away most of the audience. But his astonishing performance in the Kobe Dick documentary and the shock it brought to the documentary world is another matter entirely. In the movie, as a way to test the limits of his body, Flanagan often uses some very extreme methods to test the limits of pain, and even pierces his penis with a needle (Baidu). Not many people may want to watch a movie like this, let alone watch it a second time, but the film still retains Flanagan's sense of humor and demonstrates his ability to Determination during times of injury.
"Don't Eat" 1997
Gary Oldman once publicly stated that the reason why he took on the shitty roles in films like "Air Force One" was because A lucrative Hollywood salary would allow him to make his own movies.
Although the only film he has written and directed so far is "Don't Eat", he already has a gloomy style that rivals that of Mike Leigh. Like "Irreversible", the film focuses on extreme elements such as drugs, rape, violence, etc., but the development of the story does not rely on classic "conflicts", but on the trivial life of office workers in South London, drug addicts and alcoholics. It was slowly put together after the messy living conditions of the whole family were pieced together. It's full of multiple accents, which may be difficult to understand. In any case, I don't think many people will watch a movie with such an exhausting plot.
"Lilia Forever" 2002
Before "Lilia Forever", director and screenwriter Swedish Lukas Moodysson filmed "Under the Same Roof" , tells the story of a group of Swedish young people pursuing freedom in a chaotic way. And the subsequent "Lilia Forever" is nothing more than a continuation of this story from another angle, exploring the interdependent and contradictory relationships between people. With Osana Akinshina's outstanding performance and the theme music of trying to get closer to happiness, "Eternal Lilia" still allows the audience to see the hopeful side of things, but the tragic scenes interspersed during it slowly linger in the mind. The lethality that still exists even after it fades away still makes people unable to watch it a second time.
"Skin Love" 1999
"Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper...", the films of horror master Takashi Miike have countless iconic The scenes, "Hajime the Killer" and "Visitor Q" are all must-see classics for fans of Japanese cult movies. But the earlier "Skin Pain" is still widely recognized as his most outstanding work. The conflicts caused by the character's own personality characteristics are unstoppably staged one after another, making people overwhelmed with waves of fear. The first half of the film might be misinterpreted as a simple melodrama, but things take a turn for the worse once the hero gets to know the young woman and whispers that he will love her for the rest of his life. This young woman was not as innocent as she appeared on the surface. On the contrary, she was extremely sick inside. She tried her best to torture the man in various ways, including the famous long and narrow needle. The birth of such a female image comes from the director's reflection on social criticism, linking women's issues with cruel acts with strong sexual meaning.
"The Passion of Joan of Arc" 1928
Von Trier claimed that his films were largely inspired by his fellow countryman Carl Theodor Dreyer, especially His silent style in The Passion of Joan of Arc. This famous film tells the story of a woman who endures endless torture and eventually dies for her beliefs. The reason why this film is unbearable is not because it shows many scenes of Joan of Arc's torture, or because From Maria Falconetti's famously exaggerated performance, it's those clear cuts you see every time the camera focuses on her face. This strong emotional disturbance was created by the director. He required that the most basic film rules be completely violated. The photographer must create a 180-degree spatial visual effect. Not only that, he can also confuse the logical and emotional relationships between the characters in the movie, drowning out all the conflicts that drive the story forward. The resulting mixture of confusion and intense emotions really pushes the audience into an extreme mental test.
A word to you: Don’t think of your own taste as noble. Since you make such a mean request, you don’t really love movies. You can ignore other people’s answers, but don’t think that we are all I came here for your scores, so take care of yourself
