Seven neuropathies
Douban score: 7.6 points; imdb score: 7.2 points
Directed By: Martin McDonald
Starring: Colin Farrell / Sam Rockwell / Woody Harrison / Christopher Walken
One of the best black humor works of the new century, the plot is imaginative, full of weird coffee, and there are many silly and cute elements. In the trio, two people are a secret dog robber group, the remaining one is a writer who is addicted to alcohol and cannot write a script, and the playboy in the dog robber duo is actually a righteous killer. The intertwining of multiple layers of identity and the virtual world of the writer's script, the mixing and matching of reality and imagination, is incomparably wonderful. Christopher Walken, Woody Harrison, Colin Farrell, and Sam Rockwell contributed the most prestigious performances.
Kidnapping and robbery
Douban score: 8.5 points; imdb score: 8.3 points
Director: Guy Ritchie
Starring: Brad Pitt / Benicio del Toro / Jason Statham
When it comes to black humor, it is impossible to show Guy Ritchie, the director's "Stealing and Kidnapping", "Two Big Smoking Guns", "Rock Gangster", can be called a model film of black humor, Richie's humor is very cold, the ability to train actors is first-class, in his films, dialogue and body language are extremely important, black violence is not difficult, and the humor contained in it is the key. The film is not as famous as "Two Big Smoking Guns", but it is equally wonderful, and the multi-line narrative violence intersects the routine, and Richie is the best at it. Brad Pitt's role as a gypsy is a highlight of the film.
Wild stories
Douban score: 8.6 points; imdb score: 8.2 points
Director: Damian Szfron
Starring: Ricardo Darling / Dario Grandinetti / Leonardo Spalaglia
Argentine director Damien Szfron self-written and directed multi-paragraph story, the taste of black humor is actually the taste of "life is absurd, uncontrollable", the reason why many black humor movies love to use multi-segment stories, is that multi-segment stories are easy to repeat the theme of dragonflies, and the plot is compact, infectious, the most important thing is: you can choose a small fragment of ordinary life, inject violent and dangerous elements, and present absurd nature in a small way. - All of this is perfectly displayed in this "Wild Story".
Shameless bastard
Douban score: 8.3 points; imdb score: 8.3 points
Director: Quentin Tarantino
Starring: Brad Pitt / Melanie Roland / Christopher Waltz / Eli Rose
Like Guy Richie and the Coen brothers, Quentin Tarantino's work is inseparable from the black humor style, the director who is obsessed with Shaw martial arts films and Westerns, always adding funny small details to the bloody plot, and the characters are always full of "pretentious" ritual sense, so that the audience can't help but laugh at the beauty of violence. This film about the history of World War II is Quentin's attempt to deconstruct history with black humor, full of creativity.
Ice blood storm
Douban score: 7.9 points; imdb score: 8.2 points
Director: Joel Cohen / Ethan Cohen
Starring: William H. Messi / Steve Bussimi / Peter Sternman
The Coen brothers' film is a masterpiece of black humor, in fact, each work of the brothers has a strong sense of black humor, for the Coen brothers, black humor is not a "choice for people" style of expression, but has become a natural value in the bones, the story is not lively, in the ice and snow but there is a sense of solemn depression, the control of the rhythm of the plot is a master. In addition, the TV version of this movie is also very successful, and American drama fans should not miss it.
Buy murder shoot people
Douban score: 8.3 points; imdb score: 7.6 points
Director: Peng Haoxiang
Starring: Ge Minhui / Zhang Daming / Zhan Ruiwen / Higuchi Asuka
No matter how Peng Haoxiang is now, in the explosive period of his debut, he is one of the few black humor masters in Chinese movies, and his black humor does not have much of the lofty connotation of "existentialism", but combines the elements of nonsense comedy, which is noisy, absurd and exaggerated. The story of "Buy Murder Shoot Man" is outstanding, paying a cheerful tribute to "Lone Killer". No one could have imagined that Zhang Daming and Ge Minhui could hold up a movie, and it could be called a classic of black humor.
Killers don't have holidays
Douban score: 8.1 points; imdb score: 8.0 points
Starring: Colin Farrell / Bledan Gleason / Ralph Fiennes / Elizabeth Bellington
Colin Farrell's two big eyebrows can be used as a big logo of "black humor", and the director of this film is also the director of "Seven Neuroses": Martin McConaughey, a pair of killers who accept a new mission in Belgium, and Colin's second killer Ray fell into deep guilt because he had accidentally killed a child before, until he met a mysterious woman, and the thrill continued to unfold. The tone of suspense + humor + violence is very in place, and McConaughey's black humor is never just killing + funny, but trying to add some things that are true, good, and beautiful in human nature, which is very rare.
insignificant
Douban score: 8.1 points; imdb score: 6.8 points
Director: Jean-Baptiste André
Starring: Simon Peggy / David Humer / Natasha McAhone / Alice Eve
The tone of the film is direct, the whole process is a plot superposition of black humor, three telephone extortionists are involved in murder from simple fraud, and people continue to die - the death is strange and funny, full of comedy, but the plot of many reversals make people in the admiration and at the same time find it really blunt, the advantages and disadvantages of this story are very distinct. In terms of actors, in addition to Simon Peggy's performance has always been wonderful, the performance of the other leading actors is terrible, but as a pure black humor film, it is enough to watch.
No U-turns are allowed
Douban score: 8.0 points; imdb score: 6.8 points
Director: Oliver Stone
Starring: Sean Penn / Nick Knott / Jennifer Lopez / Billy Bob Thornton
Oliver Stone's personal style is extremely flamboyant, the black humor is that this classic film failed miserably when it was released, the critics sneered at Stone, the film's camera language and editing are more obedient and strange than "Born to Kill", full of convulsive neuroticism, each waste character is full of danger and violent possibilities, the plot is constantly reversed, and the film is successfully maintained at its peak pleasure. Sean Penn and Jennifer Lopez's mutual calculations are shocking.
Man bites dog
Douban score: 8.1 points; imdb score: 7.6 points
Directed by: rémy belvaux / andré bonzel / Benoit Polwold
Starring: Benault Polwald / jacqueline poelvoorde-pappaert / jenny drye
Personally, I think that this Belgian black-and-white handheld camera film is comparable to Kubrick's "Clockwork Orange", the violence presented in this film is extremely intuitive and explosive, and the performance of the crazy story is crazy, which is extremely shocking. Starring BenotElwald is enough to dominate film history, playing a humorous and cruel violent maniac, holding a shooting team hostage to record his atrocities, black humor is not enough to summarize the style of the film, or can be called "black absurdity", "violent humor" and so on. The film, which cost just fifteen thousand dollars, won numerous awards and became one of the best in the history of independent cinema.
The common plot of black humor is that the plan is constantly interrupted, changed, and finally completely out of control, and usually has a big twist in the end, turning sadness into joy or crying and laughing. In fact, many directors use black humor as a seasoning in movies, such as Kubrick, Martin Scorsese, the list of films is relatively pure black humor style of the film, to understand this taste, may be able to change many of their own concepts, don't be too axis, don't be too obsessed, don't do anything to have a plan, the street will definitely pounce.
