In general, absurdity means irony, irony, of course, real society. When seemingly bizarre events are stacked one by one, they actually reflect the disorderly state of real society, or the unfriendly state of a certain class.
This is the role and meaning given by the absurdity itself. We can see a lot of absurd novels, and a lot of absurd films, in fact, these works themselves do not carry any role, but in terms of perception, they are defined as absurd by the audience, which is very intriguing.
Absurd works generally occur in the disadvantaged groups, those corners that are not noticed, most of the absurd things happen, some absurd will make us think that life can be very ridiculous, and most of the absurdity will be considered that life itself is actually miserable.
Absurdity means that the participants in the absurdity of this behavior are themselves ignored, and these participants are actually a true portrayal of a class of people, so such people themselves are ignored.
The movie recommended to you today tells an absurd story, "A Movie with Me" is about a very unlucky person, and there are four people and a dog in the house where he lives, namely his girlfriend, brother, friend and himself.
His friends and he belong to a pair of dead parties, and because of the closeness of the relationship with his friends, this very weak young man has aroused the dissatisfaction of his girlfriend.
One day, the girlfriend's anger value accumulated to a certain extent and finally broke out. The girlfriend left this person fiercely, with the departure of the girlfriend, everything became difficult to clean up, at first his own dog was accidentally smashed to death, then his brother was smashed to death by the chandelier, and then the landlord accidentally fell down and died when repairing the light bulb, and his girlfriend came to get his daily necessities and died mysteriously.
The man was completely devastated, and after he called his henchman, the two men discussed how to deal with the single accident.
But this time a policewoman came and knocked on the door. Apparently, the policewoman eventually died. After the two people finished dealing with the scene, they did not announce everything to the public, but used this matter to construct a script, which eventually gained favor and the film was a complete success, as for this accident, no one cared.
Theoretically, this is a very interesting black humor movie, the movie itself is not bizarre, and the series of inexplicable accidents that occur in the movie are very bizarre, assuming that we are like the protagonist to construct a story, a story that seems to be virtual but actually happens in reality, what kind of situation would it be?
Can you combine any suspense movie that is very logically rigorous, can every accident be explained reasonably?
If those reasonable accidents all come from life or reality, then the meaning of the film itself is to fictionalize life or to bring the story that originally happened in life to the big screen. It's a lot more interesting to think about.
If you just think of this film as an absurd movie, it is actually possible, let's look at the living environment of the hero, why he seems to be idle all day, in fact, such idleness reflects a social reality.
Looking at the production area of this film, you have the opportunity to find that it is Ireland, and how is the economy of Ireland? Or the current state of society in the whole of Britain can actually be glimpsed from this absurd movie.
When a healthy society is running, there will not be so many contradictions that are intensified every day, because people simply do not have time to think about how to solve these so-called contradictions.
However, when a society begins to get sick, all the chaotic contradictions we usually see will be completely intensified, and the contradictions of the bottom society are more likely to gradually ferment from some trivial things. Just like the man's girlfriend finally decided to leave.
When a series of contradictions begin to intensify, if there is no stable adjustment mechanism, or a big event to make these contradictions disappear completely, the whole world will be more out of control, fortunately, in the end, the film uses death, and uses one unexpected death after another to make these contradictions disappear completely.
And here comes the most crucial point. When everything is rationally transformed, no one cares about the person who died in the accident itself, and the living people simply regard it as a very reasonable story. Once this is set, the absurd effect is immediately doubled.
The above is the meaning of the absurd film, and it is also a kind of reality that can be seen in this film. When the chaos of the underclass is not cared about, any action can become a cleverly conceived movie.
Because when the real situation that occurs in these realities has not attracted enough attention, what is the departure of one person or several people, and there will always be a deliberate intention to help them realize this lie, then there is nothing to worry about. Imagine who will benefit from all this rationalization? shudder.
