Never seen before.
How can there be a film with such a consistent response.
Probably everyone who has seen it will invariably spew out dirty words - praise it.
The most fucked up or the sweetest movie.

Scold it.
These voices are not surprising at all, because the film has long been scheduled for the most anticipated and controversial of the year.
I believe that yesterday there were many people like Sir, squatting in this year's Palme d'Or.
After reading it successfully...
Insomnia on the spot.
It is necessary to remind: if you are under the age of eighteen, intolerant of horror movies, and have a weak heart, be sure to think twice before watching.
Others looked at it this way:
Titanium
Titanium
As the saying goes, a horror movie where no one leaves is not a competent horror movie.
Plasma, killing, metal, tearing sensations, directly cause a large area of physical discomfort.
Summarize the story in one sentence:
The woman was pregnant with the child of a car.
Even more deviant than the story is the visual presentation of the film.
As much as you can say, Sir does what he can.
01
The story begins when the heroine is a child.
On the highway, sitting in the back seat, she kicked the back of the chair, and her father ignored it.
Kick again, the father scolded.
She simply turned around to play, her father reached out and dragged it, and the car got out of control and crashed into the side of the road.
At the beginning, she explained that her relationship with her family was not good.
One of the more profound effects is.
After the accident, the heroine underwent craniotomy, and the doctor implanted a titanium plate for her to replace the missing skull.
The doctor also said that the operation was very successful.
Does not affect movement, coordination, and verbal skills.
Is it really completely unaffected?
Get out of the hospital.
The little girl couldn't wait to hug the car that almost killed her, and sweetly mua ~ took a bite.
After the titanium metal was implanted, things changed.
This kind of punk style of symbiosis between man and metal is not uncommon, and remember the eye-opening "Love Death Machine".
However, these are still animations after all.
In the movie, when all kinds of mechanical reactions act on the human body are truly performed by the actors, they have a surprising sense of psychedelic and painful.
When she grew up, the heroine became the dancer of the car club.
Stage.
The dance is fiery, and the number of red silk is unknown.
Offstage.
The suitor is Wu Yangyang.
But she is just a look of don't bother the old lady, the old woman to the point of work.
One of the suitors went too far and chased her to the car, speaking softly and asking for a kiss without permission.
The heroine is very angry, and the consequences are very serious.
You know, she tied her hair every day, using a long and sharp steel needle...
She doesn't like men?
be.
Again, it's not.
The next day she and another dancer, on the beach, were in love, and she kissed her on the chest.
The other person said, you can go further down, down.
Her lips did not move in the slightest, followed by a scream from the other party:
What the heck, it hurts!
Where she kissed the flesh, she clearly wanted to take down the metal ring on the flesh.
Yes, to be precise, the heroine does not like people at all.
There is only an incomparably wild desire for metal.
Here comes the most liberating scene in the film.
Late at night, the heroine took a bath and suddenly heard "Bang... Bang..." The crashing sound.
She walked out naked.
There was no one around.
There was only one car, with its headlights on.
Isn't this the Cadillac she's dancing on top of?
The heroine gently stroked the body of the car and opened the car door.
She walked in.
The car began to shake indescribably...
And then.
The heroine is pregnant.
02
Why did the heroine have a desire for metal after implanting the titanium plate?
Why can a car make people pregnant?
Sorry, "Titanium" did not intend to explain the principle clearly in one hundred and fifty.
Compared to the logic of science fiction.
The plot of seeing is believing is enough to conquer the audience's doubts.
Directed by Giulia di Kuno.
The last movie, "Raw Eating", was about a girl who was accidentally awakened to the desire to eat people.
Both films start from a bizarre setting.
Only one is primitive and barbaric.
The other is science fiction and disorientation.
Desire is set by the director as something that cannot be explained and does not need to be explained.
The key is not "why", but "then".
In the first third of the film, the heroine has been thoroughly excited by metal as a hunting machine.
Whether it's the man who provoked her.
And her shy woman.
Even his own parents.
Coupled with rock music, the sensory effect is unrestrained and crazy.
But later, the style and plot began to change, turning to "warmth".
After becoming a fugitive, the heroine had to start thinking about how to settle down in this society.
The root cause was also because of her conception, she changed from a beast to a mother who needed shelter.
First vomiting.
Then the lower abdomen bulges.
Then there's the secretion of black oil-like milk...
When the director performs this series of manifestations, he is both cold and hardcore, and at the same time has a very delicate female perspective.
It can even be said that because of this mechanical foreign body feeling, people have a personal experience.
This definitely belongs to the magic that the director created with the film.
I have to talk about the pain of this movie.
Makes you pull back and forth between wanting to see and covering your eyes.
But unlike ordinary B-grade films, the pain of "Titanium" is not simply the consumption of sensory stimulation, the pain and the core of the film are connected by blood.
Layer upon layer of pain forces you to ruminate about what the relationship between metal (machinery) and man is.
After the operation, the heroine wears a metal brace.
During the bath, the heroine's hair entangled with the other dancers' breast rings.
Inject hormones into the muscles with a needle.
People today can also wear cochlear implants, implant heart stents, gold teeth, and prosthetics
Metals and machines have greatly expanded the scope of the human body.
Even the mobile phone you carry at any time is not like a new organ growing on the human body, without it you can not contact people, can not receive information, can not find the way...
The difference is.
We are accustomed to using machines as ancillary tools.
"Titanium" is anti-customer-oriented, allowing machines to drive human desires, and even co-evolve with people into a new existence
Who is she?
Who is it?
Or, who is He?
03
"Titanium" is like a process of childbirth.
On the one hand, there is bloody tearing, and on the other hand, it is rebuilt and reborn in pain.
Two-thirds of the way through the film, stripped away the bizarre setting and showed us a story of being reborn from the ashes and then re-engulfing the fire.
In the first stage, she is stimulated by the "fetus" in the abdomen to produce motherhood.
After becoming pregnant, the heroine stabbed the lower body with a steel needle.
Wanted to stop the changes that had happened to her.
But after a while, she began to pick out clothes that fit loosely.
Holding his belly, his eyes filled with anticipation.
She not only gave birth to a new life.
Even began the enlightenment of human nature.
At first, her heart was still "ironclad".
There is no guilt about killing, no sensitivity to "pain".
In order to survive, she cuts her hair, disfigures her face, and pretends to be the long-lost son of the male protagonist Vincent.
She didn't plan to spend a long time with this man, or she had a habit of killing him.
But when she picked up the steel needle.
Vincent, on the other hand, played with his "son" like a game.
The strange man retrieved his son through her.
And she felt the love of her father in disguise.
Furthermore, "Titanium" gives the heroine a divinity.
You heard that right.
This kind of Frankenstein-like monster, the intercourse of man and man, used to be considered a blasphemous existence.
But how did the director shoot it?
Vincent (the captain of the fire brigade) introduced the heroine to his subordinates:
He is my son
I am God to you
So he's not just your brother
He is still Jesus
More hints.
God created Eve from Adam's ribs, and the heroine was implanted with a titanium steel bone.
Gradually, the titanium plate, as part of her body, became the bone of her bones, the flesh of the flesh.
The heroine is like the Virgin Mary who is not conceived by mortals.
It's just that I don't know if the child of this car is the Son of God or the Son of Satan.
In order to dress up as a man, she wrapped bandages around her chest and abdomen.
The wounds on the body are like the holy marks of Jesus' passion.
At last.
Newborns are born.
How do you define "it"?
Tradition and humanity have all been broken.
A new identity, a new person who sweeps away all stereotypes, is the real shock that "Titanium" presents to us after the severe pain.
However, these are not the whole of "Titanium".
Social identity, gender issues, self-exile and redemption can all be found in the film.
Just like the mixed style of this movie, science fiction, thriller, eroticism, and finally can turn to family warmth.
It's a species.
Unless you see it with your own eyes, you won't believe in the strangeness and charm of existence.
It will never satisfy everyone.
But its existence lets us know how far the film can be far away from the limit and how far it can reach.
After watching it, you will feel that you have escaped a disaster.
Luckily, it's a movie.
Luckily, we still have movies.
