Today, let's talk about the movie "New Order".
Title nuevo orden / lo que algunos soñaron / the dreams of a few / new order (2020), aliases The Dreams of a Few.
The New Order was nominated for the Golden Lion award in the main competition section of the 77th Venice Film Festival in 2020, as well as the Grand Jury Prize.
The film depicts a dystopian Mexico in which power breaks down all class divides, and nightmares descend on everyone indiscriminately.
The film begins with a luxurious wedding of a high-society society.
At the wedding banquet, the main guest interacted, the song and dance, and everything seemed very harmonious.
Just outside the wedding, a riot was erupting a few blocks away.
An old man came to the wedding for help, he had been a servant of the family, and now his wife was seriously ill and in need of treatment, so he went to his former employer to borrow some life-saving money.
The main family put together some pocket money to send the old man away, but the change was far from enough for the cost of treatment.
Marianne, the bride, offered to help find money and visit the sick in the old man's home.
The thugs smashed, looted, and destroyed everything visible.
The upper class at the wedding banquet felt that they should be safe with their bodyguards. But soon the rioters stormed the wedding scene, and the people who were originally in charge of security immediately turned against each other, and the wedding scene instantly became a disaster site for smashing and robbing.
Marianne, who came to the old man's home, escaped the mob attack and fell into another predicament.
Long after the riots, the army came to control the scene belatedly.
With the blessing of heavy weapons, the mob quickly disappeared and the soldiers began to take control of the situation.
But this is just the beginning of another nightmare.
Soldiers took advantage of the chaos to commit robbery, rape, killing and other evils against civilians, and there were no third-party witnesses. The parties and witnesses were all killed, leaving only the murderer.
The plot and mood have been going down since the wedding of New Order.
The protagonist walks step by step into the deeper abyss in the darkness, and whenever he thinks that there will be a turnaround, he actually just opens the downward slope with a greater slope.
The children of the rich family met the soldiers and thought they had been rescued, but they were actually kidnapped. The prisoners were called out of their cells, thinking they were about to be released, but in fact they were raped. The hostage's family paid the ransom, and the hostage thought he was rescued, but in fact he was torn up. The family members went to the top level of the military for help, thinking that some people in the DPRK and China were good at doing things, but in fact, they were sold and helped to count the money...
There are too many similar examples, giving people a little hope and fiercely stepping on it, originally thought that it might be a plot reversal, but it is actually a darker tragedy. The director seems to know this well, and the whole film uses one tragedy after another, so that people can't see hope at all.
The title of the film is "New Order", but the actual performance is that neither the old order can be broken, nor can a new order be established, everything is in chaos, and only violence is the solution.
The film opens with thugs smashing and burning, with a tendency to break an old world. But the snap is very fast, the actions of the thugs return to their cognitive level, completely into a house robbery, they have to grab the most money in the shortest time, nothing more.
The rich suffered heavy losses in this riot, but after the situation subsided slightly, they did not want to improve society, they only wanted to make up for the losses and restore the previous order.
The last army to appear is the party that establishes order, they do not have a clear program of action, rely entirely on the guns in their hands to make people obey, disobedient on the spot to be killed. If the army wants to establish an order with high-quality development for the people, the nation, and the country, then this army is definitely the hope of the whole village. But this army only wants to take advantage of the fire, eat the rich and eat the poor, and there is no difference between the orangutan who suddenly gets the submachine gun.
"New Order" makes people see a screen full of despair.
There is no hope in this society and this country, and those who have an army are huge greed, those who have rifles are small greed, and the ability to embezzle depends entirely on the military strength in their hands.
Violence determines social status, and there is no difference between this society, this state, and primitive society, and you don't feel any civilization.
The rich and the poor are lambs to be slaughtered in the face of violence, and only violence is the only thing that maintains order here.
Good people do not live long, and kings live for a thousand years.
The world of the New Order is not for the good, but for violent criminals.
"Parasite" profoundly points out that good people are not rich because they are good, but because they are rich. The same applies to the New Order, where Marianne, who has not experienced society, sincerely helps others because she has not seen the real world. By the time she saw the world clearly, it was too late.
Violence can solve everything,
Violence is the fundamental order.
