Chapter 80 How to make a femme fatale

"The more depraved, the more heroic" is a movie for fans like me.Like computer games, all links are highly controlled. Where are the traps and where are the treasures? The mystery in "The More Depraved, the More Heroes" is an almost unmistakable mystery, including how far the interest overflows, it is all pre-designed, just for fans of my level to "find it out" , and get resonance. "The more depraved, the more heroic" has benefited from the popularization of "male friendship" in Hong Kong movies since the 1970s. It seems to be a further exploration of "male friendship" in the context of the rivers and lakes, but its attitude towards women is rather different. It is closer to film noir (filmnoir) in the 1940s and 1950s, and it is the continuation and exaggeration of many elements of film noir.

The whole film is immersed in a deliberately designed misogynistic atmosphere. Not only is the main story line under the cover of "masculine loyalty", it exaggerates the expression of misogyny and misogyny, and even the opportunities to preach in every corner are not missed. The little bastard got a venereal disease from "picking up the wrong girl", and the boss lost money because of "picking up the wrong girl". The two protagonists, Leng Sen and Yi Yi, were framed by A Ling. Don't love them if you come to deceive me", there is a particularly unbearable, deliberately manufactured, and overemphasized panic temperament, which is half-truth and half-false, and is very cute.

One who is responsible for being the object of desire projection in the open, never forgets to express his "castration fear" - the fear of losing masculinity, he has ignorant worries about the intimacy between himself and Leng Sen, and fears that it will damage the His own masculinity, so he had to cover up with exaggerated sex-hunting actions, but contradictoryly made such a poisonous oath: "Whoever does not show loyalty will be impotent." However, the atmosphere of the film is to expose his possible Sex, to force him into another camp, not only to use women's betrayal, tricks, viciousness, ruthlessness, completely destroy his male self-confidence, but also let men help him get reborn.In the end, he pulled the trigger with the ring that made his love with Ling, and the audience was satisfied.

Carole acts as the necessary "femme fatale" in film noir. Like all femme fatales, she is fetish, artificial, and voluptuous, and the film assigns her warm colors—this is called It is considered to be a "sick and corrupt" tone, and it advances layer by layer as her viciousness and power grow.At first she was surrounded by pink and light white, and after she was with Yi Yi, she even had a cool tone for a time. After her betrayal and gaining power, her color became more and more intense, green eye shadow, deep purple nails, black wig, snake scales The same clothes, but also with a red velvet sofa as the background, and cigarettes and wine as props.The music that belongs to her is the singing of chant style, which is irony, compassion and redemption.In contrast to her, it is a pure white world. One, Leng Sen, and Ah Jing always wear white clothes. When Leng Sen goes to the mental hospital to save Yi, when Yi opens his eyes, no matter the light or color, they are all pure white on purpose. , like heaven.

More importantly, A Ling has the most important characteristics of the image of a femme fatale, her origin is unknown, her life experience and emotions are ambiguous, and she does not express a complete human attribute. All this is to prevent the audience from feeling sympathetic to her.And Yiyi and Leng Sen not only present a clear emotional world, but also have a mother and a son, and have all the roots of a complete person. Once everything is intentional to the point of being deliberate, it must have a purpose.Wang Jing suddenly entered the territory of "masculine friendship" with the image of a passionate king of Huaguo, which is really intriguing, not to mention that he is so deliberate in every way.Probably, he intends to use his deliberate parody of film noir to ridicule the clingy, twisted, twisted and obscure style of expression of "masculine friendship" since the 1980s, so, not only The title of the copycat Kwan Chin-peng's "The Happier and the More Depraved", the title also continues the ending of "The Happier and More Degenerate", and Chen Jinhong is also invited to let him change from the gentle clerk in "The Happier and Degraded" into a dissolute killer.However, this is also the reality of selling rot: either it is fragmented and realistic, or it is frank and hearty, but it is a myth.
