Directed by darren aronofsky and adapted from a novel by Hubert Selby Jr., this film describes a group of people's luxury addiction and embarrassment-drugs, illegal drugs, caffeine and dreams. Those "cold" pictures that reach people's hearts have extraordinary shocking power. You'd better be careful of your stomach. The only positive effect of this film is that its tragic ending can make it among the propaganda against drugs. Although there are many exciting scenes in the film, director Aaronov Ski doesn't just want the audience to enjoy it. His persistent pursuit of the character's heart completely brings together the soul of the film, and you will know what shock is, so shocking that it is difficult to experience it again.
When the wind blows 1986
This seemingly immature cartoon tells the story of a rural couple who built a shelter to avoid the coming nuclear explosion in the war, but eventually died unconsciously under the poison of nuclear radiation. Finally, the harm that the war brought to society and people was analyzed from a personal level. The grandfather in the story accepted everything ZF told him and believed that the world was peaceful now. How can there be nuclear radiation? Something you can't see or smell at all. In this way, an old couple spent their last days calmly and peacefully in a lie, neither feeling uneasy because of life or death, nor being involved in the war. Perhaps the most tragic part is that they think that nuclear war is no different from World War II. I thought that if I couldn't die in World War II, I could survive in any war.
Dancer in the dark 2000
Since 1996 broke the waves, director Lars von Trier completely gave up exquisite and beautiful genre films, and those forms accepted by most people were even unbearable for him. Breaking the Waves, Dogwell, Dancer in the Dark and even the less successful Mandalay are all telling women's stories. As the protagonists in the story, they all made meaningful choices but didn't have a good result. They all want to help others, but because they are weak, they are always bound by economic, gender, emotional and other reasons. And the people around them will even make it difficult for 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 the film's pain is particularly strong because of bjork's performance. She vividly explained the pain and groans of a migrant worker, and told her step by step the fate of saving money for her son to treat eye diseases while she was rapidly losing her sight. Lars von Trier plans the rhythm of the story according to every tragic plot point in the play, thus conveying bjork's misery and kindness to the maximum extent. Finally, it can move people's hearts, but also because of good control, every hope that is about to be realized can be wiped out in an instant before the most gorgeous. But even though it is full of tragic plot, heartbreaking music and bjork's irreplaceable performance, Dancer in the Dark can still be called a "beautiful" movie.
Patient: the life and death of Bob Flanagan, super masochist 1997.
Bob Flanagan died of cystic fibroma at the age of 43. He is a performing artist, but his performances are all about masochism and masochism. This alone is enough to scare away more than half of the audience. However, his amazing performance in Kirby Dick's documentary and the shock it brought to the documentary industry are completely different. In movies, as a way to test the limits of his body, Flanagan often uses some extreme methods to test the limits of pain, and even pierces his vulva (Baidu) stem with a needle. For such a film, not many people may want to see it, let alone watch it for the second time, but this film still retains Flanagan's sense of humor and shows his courage during his injury.
Don't swallow 1997
Gary Oldman has publicly stated that the reason why he will play the role of shit in movies like Air Force One is because Hollywood's generous salary enables him to make his own movies. Although the only film he has written and directed so far is Don't Swallow, he already has a gloomy style comparable to that of Mike Leigh. Like Irretrievable, the film focuses on extreme factors such as drugs, rape and violence. However, the development of the story is not based on the classic "contradictions and conflicts", but is slowly completed by the trivial life of office workers in south London, and the living conditions of addicts and alcoholics are mixed together. It is full of multiple accents and may be difficult to understand. Anyway, I believe that not many people will watch this exhausting movie again and again.
Lilia Forever 2002
Before Lilia Forever, Swedish director and screenwriter lukas moodysson filmed Under One Roof, which tells the story of a group of Swedish youths pursuing freedom in a chaotic form. The later Lilia Forever is nothing more than continuing the story from another angle and discussing the contradictory relationship between people. With the excellent performance of oksana akinshina and the theme music that strives to be close to happiness, "Lilia Forever" still shows the hopeful side of things to the audience, but the tragic scenes interspersed during the period are still lethal when they fade away in the mind, and it is still impossible for people to watch it again.
Lovely love 1999
"Deeper, deeper, deeper, deeper ..." takashi miike, the master of thriller, has numerous iconic scenes in his films. Killer One and Visitor Q are both must-see classics for fans chasing Japanese cult movies. However, the earlier Pain of the Flesh is still widely regarded as his best work, and the contradictions and conflicts caused by the characters' own personality characteristics are inevitably staged one after another, which makes people feel overwhelmed by waves of fear. The first half of the film may be misunderstood as a simple sitcom, but after the hero meets a young woman and says that he will love her for life, things go downhill. This young woman is not as simple as she looks, but she is extremely sick inside. She tortured the man in every way, including the famous long and narrow needle. The birth of such a female image comes from the director's reflection on social criticism, which links the female problem with cruel behavior with strong sexual meaning.
The Passion of Joan of Arc 1928
Von Tyre claims that his films have largely inherited his compatriot Carl Theodor Dreyer, especially his silent style in The Passion of Joan of Arc. This famous film tells the story of a woman who suffered endless torture for her beliefs and finally died. What makes this movie unbearable is not that it shows many scenes of Joan's torture or Maria Falconetti's famous exaggerated performance, but the clear wound you see every time the camera is aimed at her face. This intense emotional turmoil was caused by the director, who demanded that the basic movie rules of Baidu system be fully met, and the photographer must construct a spatial visual effect of 180 degrees. Not only that, but he can also confuse the logical relationship and emotional connection between the characters in the film and drown out all the conflicts that push the story forward. The resulting confusion and strong feelings are intertwined, which really pushes the audience to an extreme spiritual test.
A word for you: don't think too highly of your taste. Since you make such a harsh request to supplement it, it shows that you don't really love movies. You can ignore other people's answers, but don't think that we are all here for your grades and mind your own business.
