An attitude, a life, a cup of tea, a pot of old wine, a movie, a confidant, welcome to read, welcome to watch movies.
today recommends a thriller ethics movie - " Stoke ", the inspiration for the movie is provided by Yoshikage Kira. I used to like JoJo's villains except for the priest. Stamp.
"My ears can hear what others can't hear, very small and far away, and what others can't see, I can also see. This kind of sensitivity is the fruit of longing for life, longing for redemption, longing for fulfillment, just like a skirt I'm not made of myself."
"I wear my mother's shirt, my father's belt, and my uncle's shoes. This is who I am, like a flower can't choose its own color. , we don't need to be responsible for what we have grown up to, you can only be free when you realize these things, and when you grow up, you are free." At the beginning of the
film, the heroine's father died unexpectedly in a car accident, and the mother and the heroine are holding Funeral. While the priest was mourning for his father, the heroine, India, found a strange man standing in the distance of the funeral.
India was about to quietly play the piano by herself when her mother appeared behind her, hoping India could help in the kitchen. India went to the kitchen to peel eggs and heard two maids secretly discussing her father's car accident. The housekeeper came over at this time to stop the conversation between the maids and asked India if she had found a birthday present. But India only found a key in the river. Every year, the gifts India received were shoes, but this time, if India was in trouble, and asked her butler, the butler could not answer.
India discovers a mysterious man in the distance at a funeral party who turns out to be India's uncle, Charlie. Relatives and friends at the funeral were discussing this mysterious man, Charlie, and Charlie's eyes were searching for India. Then, Charlie suddenly appeared behind him and told India [he will live here for a while, but he prefers to get India's consent].
The next morning, India found that Charlie and the housekeeper were arguing while the mother slept until the afternoon. Mother saw that India was so gloomy in her filial piety, and hoped to go out for a walk, go shopping, eat ice cream or something, but India refused, and her mother went out with Uncle Charlie.
At this point, India sneaked into Charlie's room, flipped through the contents of his bag, and suddenly found a gift box. Coincidentally, the mother and Charlie came back at this time, and Charlie helped India buy ice cream halfway, and asked her to put it in the freezer in the basement. The housekeeper had been absent from the morning, and when his mother was worrying about how to prepare dinner, Charlie offered him to cook dinner.
The atmosphere of dinner was very depressing and embarrassing, and India finally couldn't help but ask her mother [Why didn't you tell yourself that you have an uncle? ] These words aroused my mother's memory of her husband, so she left the table halfway, leaving only Charlie and India, Charlie said [I want to be friends with India], and India felt that there was no need [they are family].
At school, India was molested by gangsters. After school, she found Charlie driving to pick her up. India got on the school bus to avoid it. The next day, Charlie reminded India to bring an umbrella, but India didn't answer. When she came home from school, she was drenched in soup. When she entered the door, she found that her mother taught Charlie to play the piano. The two also played tennis together yesterday.
Suddenly a distant relative, Aunt Jin, visits. Aunt Jin knows Charlie's affairs well and hopes to talk to her mother alone. But her mother was too sensitive, and she quarreled with Aunt Jin whenever she disagreed. The dinner ended so unhappily. Before leaving, Aunt Jin secretly gave India the number and hoped that India would call her.
Aunt Jin was worried about her own safety and temporarily lived inAt the motel, Aunt Jin had no choice but to run to the public phone booth to call Stoke's house. But at this time India was going to the basement to dig for ice cream to eat, and her mother put on lipstick and went to Charlie with wine, only to find that Charlie was not there, but Charlie took the opportunity to return the phone to find Aunt Jin and strangled her to death. India also found the body of the housekeeper in the freezer.
found Charlie who had been waiting for a long time after school. In order to escape, India had to go back to school, and found that the gangster who bullied her on weekdays was also there. India deftly defended against the gangster's attack, and the gangster on the side, Vip also jumped out to help India. Back home, she remembered Charlie and the details of the past, and India slowly talked about Qin.
Somehow she fell asleep after some intimate and phantom sound of the piano, and when she woke up, India found Charlie and her mother flirting and dancing with each other. India ran out and found the gangster - VIP, VIP didn't understand why a top student in India came here in the middle of the night, but India said "don't miss the good times". She took the initiative to kiss Vip, biting each other's lips while kissing, India suddenly woke up and refused Vip's desire to go home. Vip was provoked by desire and wanted to have a relationship with India. From the rear, Charlie came from behind with a belt. Charlie strangled Vip to death in front of India. The two buried Vip's body in the garden that night.
Back home, India put on the pajamas that her mother bought her after taking a shower, and India told her mother when she was hunting with her father while combing her hair. The mother stopped India and said [to have a haircut tomorrow, and to clean up my father's studio by the way]. India sneaks into her father's studio and takes the important things away, only to find the locked drawer, India uses the key to open the cabinet and finds a lot of photos of her father and Charlie, and a very thick plate of letters . The recipient's attribution is all India, and India found out that it was all written to her by Uncle Charlie as he traveled around the world. When
carried the letter back to the room, he suddenly found the postmark on the back of the envelope. I knew that the so-called travels in various places were fake, and the postmark of the letter was the same place. India is going to take out Charlie's luggage, tell him to get out, and chat about Jonathan. Jonathan is the youngest child of the Stoke family. Charlie found that Jonathan likes to play slides, so he dug a deep pit under the slide and buried Jonathan alive. Charlie was sent to a mental hospital for this.
grew up, India's father went to the hospital to pick him up, full of joy thinking that he could return to his long-lost home, but he learned that his eldest brother had arranged everything for him and wanted to send him to New York, in order to be away from his family. Charlie was so heartbroken that he picked up the stone while vomiting by the river and killed the elder brother. India slapped the other side and asked why he came back now. Charlie explained that the day his father died was India's 28th birthday, and he had been waiting for the moment when India came of age.
Because of Vip's disappearance, the police came to the door, but left without getting any clues. After the police officer left, Charlie suggested to go to New York together, which happened to be seen by his mother. The mother burned all the father's belongings. The mother told India about her inner distress, and then chatted with Charlie alone. Charlie asked India to pack her luggage and leave for New York later.
's mother finally explained everything, she knew that Charlie in front of her was a murderer, and her mother hoped that Charlie would let her daughter go. Charlie restrained his mother with a belt and called India to come and watch. India appeared in front of her with a shotgun. She shot and buried Charlie in the garden.
At this moment, she seems to have become Charlie and injured the policeman with a screwdriver, but the policeman could only flee in embarrassment, but was pierced by a long gun from India, and blood instantly splattered the grass, and the white flowers were dyed. The red, the blood dripping down the lens is very beautiful.
Analysis of "Stoke" on the surface
Okay, the movie is over, is it in the clouds? Forgive me for telling the story so fast this time, it was the film director's interlude editing, which really made it impossible for me to tell it according to my usual way of thinking. Moreover, there is a lot of information hidden in the movie. If you haven't seen or want to watch this movie, it is recommended to watch the original movie first, otherwise the content after that will be full of spoilers.
"Stoke" was released in 2013, the director is my favorite Korean director Park Chan-wook , I've seen almost every Park Chan-wook movie. But I don't seem to fit in with this director. I delete every one of his films after watching them, and then I will scramble to retrieve the films from the trash and watch them again and again.
Park Chan-wook, the power of darkness revealed in every movie really makes me want to stop, this "Stoke" is no exception, needless to say the actors, Mia, , Matthew Goode, , Nicole Kidd Man, his acting skills in the film are very good, and he also fits the characters. After watching "Stoke" in the early days, my reaction was: Oh, what an elegant movie about the history of perverted growth!
found a lot of different things after watching it repeatedly. He had to admire Park Chan-wook's shooting techniques and narrative skills. He hid a lot of information and details in every corner of the film. Waiting for the audience to explore and discover, by the way, this script was written by Wentworth · Miller, unfamiliar friends, if you mention the TV series "Prison Break", you should understand it. Sure enough, if you can't write a script, you're not a good actor!
's mother's role analysis
wants to say too much, according to the usual habits, start with the analysis of the role, first let's talk about the role of the mother, looking at the film, it is indeed not a competent mother. This setting can be seen from the dialogue of the employer, the marriage between the mother and Charlie is like a cage, she has fluent French but nowhere to use. In this home all day, the husband has been away from her. After giving birth to the child, he also took care of the animals that the father and daughter hunted for him. These details can also be obtained from the mother's lines.
When her husband was alive, he often took his daughter to hunt, and looking at Charlie sitting in the distance reminded her of her husband's youth. Including the dialogue at dinner, I can also learn that the mother and her husband should be very sweet from their love to their wedding, so the mother's love for her husband gradually turned her into a caged bird. Charlie's appearance ignited her enthusiasm for life, and at the end, her mother also said to India [your success is where I fail].
gave birth to India because she hoped that her relationship with her husband would ease. After giving birth to the child, things did not develop in the direction that her mother expected. Deep down, the mother is very lonely and lonely, she still lacks company, so on the second day of the funeral, I hope India will go to relax together, but obviously the relationship between mother and daughter is not very good. Even when Charlie showed up, she couldn't answer her daughter's question that she didn't know much about her husband, Richard.
Alas, isn't this your husband? As a wife, she would say she doesn't know her husband.
's mother is a normal person. A typical little woman is sensitive and fragile, and needs to be accompanied by her husband's attention. Because of this, she cannot truly integrate into the Stoke family. After her mother found out about Charlie and India's [ambiguous] relationship, she instead asked India [Shouldn't it be me that you should love? ] Instead, he pleaded with Charlie to let India go. For her mother, although India was a turning point in the relationship between husband and wife, despite the discord on the surface, her mother still regarded India as a spiritual pillar in her heart.
, including the mother, has a lot of stories in the film. The first time I saw it, I thought it was Charlie who was addicted to the food, but when I watched it repeatedly, I didn't find any hints in the film. If Charlie drugged, the motive was also very unreasonable. He could kill the housekeeper and Aunt Jin with one blow. Why should a person like his mother rely on drugs to solve it, so the plot that the mother said should be the details of personality hints.
and Charlie are just talking and flirting every time, nothing really happened, and my mother also said that Charlie reminded her of her husband's youth, so Charlie became the object of her mother's fantasy. The mother is most likely masturbating when she fantasizes about Charlie. After each masturbation, she will be accompanied by strong drowsiness. The drowsiness episode after orgasm also happened to India. After playing the four-handed piano like a dream with Charlie, there is a plot of India drowsy and dreaming.
's father's role analysis
went on to talk about India's father, but before that, let's talk about the Stoke family. The Stoke family is born with the genes of perverted killing. They not only have super-high IQ, super-superior hearing and strength, but also hate being touched by others. You can even get pleasure only in killing, and this can be understood from India's self-expression at the beginning, and the same father also has Stoke's blood flowing, and he should have the same problem.
This detail can be learned from the mother's dialogue. After the sweet period, the father gradually drifted away from his wife. It's not that her father doesn't love her, it's that her father couldn't escape the killing gene in his life, so he chose to travel abroad. There are not many scenes of my father in the film, which will make the audience feel at least a normal person. In fact, my father should use all his reason to suppress the bloody desire.
He understands that if he keeps company with his wife, he will be sensible one day, and if he loses control, he will kill his wife with his own hands. And from India's mouth, I also learned that my father once said [sometimes we need to do bad things to avoid doing worse things]. This sentence is also related to the subsequent hunting plots. After the birth of the child, the father often took India to hunt. At the beginning, I always thought that hunting was just a reflection of the deep love between father and daughter.
But in the later films, scenes of father and daughter hunting are often interspersed. Only then did he realize that this was his father's desire to kill, and it was also to divert India's awakening to the nature of killing. He understood that the killing nature inherited from the Stoke family could not escape. curse. In order to protect India, all the letters sent by Charlie were hidden. Charlie is the key to awakening the nature of the Stoke family. Under the suppression of strong reason, his father retains his humanity and affection.
Details 1
He loves his wife and chose to stay away, he loves India, and chooses to guide Touching his brother's cheek and letting him go to New York, his heart ached. In my father's heart, the concept of family is still very important. He attaches great importance to his relatives and will not allow malignant desires to develop at will.
Charlie's Uncle Charlie's Character Analysis
Charlie's feelings for India, in my opinion, are neither love nor kinship, but more like discovering the same kind, as if the stand-in messengers will attract each other, and the pervert is probably the same. Charlie is also a lonely person, because he killed the youngest child in the family, Jonathan, who was imprisoned in a mental hospital since he was a child. Those special abilities and the deepest bloody desires in his heart, he was eager to be understood and praised, so when he found that India began to awaken, His face was full of excitement and excitement.
Finally, when he strangled his mother, he called India to watch it because he felt that India was someone who could resonate with his nature. There are also details that India's action as a snow angel on the bed, and the action of Charlie Sha killing Jonathan lying in the sand as a snow angel, also imply the blood relationship of the Tok family. The animal that
is related to Charlie is implied to be a fly that can't get out, which also represents Charlie's trapped personality. And Charlie would whistle before killing someone, and the tune he played was the same tune that India played. The song is excerpted from Verdi 's "The Flame is Burning" in the opera [Bard]. The lyrics of this song are used to describe murder, no matter how good it isHowever, the plot of [Bard] is a tragedy, and the theme is also revenge. Two blood-related brothers, by accident, became rivals in love and killed each other, so the director used an episode to spoil it.
In the early days of Charlie's various irregularities, there are details hints,
details -
At the funeral, Charlie and India said I'm sorry
Usually a relative of the family dies, and will not apologize to juniors or elders, unless the person's Death has something to do with you.
Details 2
Charlie said in the morning when he remodeled the garden that the soil is soft and suitable for digging, which is also to pave the way for burying the body.
Details 3
India Returning from the basement, Charlie asked [Is it cold down here? ] is also to hide the housekeeper's body in it. Regarding this point, I personally think that Charlie wants India to know that he killed someone. Combined with what Charlie said before, he feels that India can resonate with him, so he is not worried that India will report a warning.
India found a toy plastic gun when rummaging through Charlie's luggage, which also shows that Charlie still has a childish side in his heart, so when he kills someone, he hopes that his peers will find it and even show it off to his peers.
Details 4
Aunt Jin's appearance led to the breakup of Charlie's lies. Coincidentally, his mother was being carried away by love and ignored it. Aunt Jin was the only person who knew about Charlie's past, which was undoubtedly a hidden danger to Charlie. So Charlie looked at the TV and whistled. The clip of Falcon was playing on the TV, which also heralded the end of Aunt Jin. Falcon's law of survival is very cruel. Waiting for the opportunity to strike a fatal blow. So, Charlie killed Aunt Jin by returning the phone.
Details 5
Charlie watches India all the time, and seeing India's perfect performance against those gangsters makes him even more proud of the Stoker family's synergy. In the follow-up, Charlie wanted to unlock the seal of India's nature by taking the opportunity to die Vip, so the father was so afraid of his daughter's contact with Charlie. The Stoke family's slaughtering nature can't escape forever, only killing can make them feel joy and pleasure.
They are not very interested in the physical union of normal human beings, so the orgasm of the Stoke family will only be accompanied by killing. This emotion is like a drug, and once it is contaminated, it cannot be escaped. For Charlie, his pleasure was strangling his prey. As for his father, he did not explain it in the film. After all, his father's rationality was greater than his nature.
India's role analysis
finally talked about the heroine - India, why did you talk about it in the end, because the transformation of this character is so interesting. First of all, India's self-introduction in the title sequence has already revealed the family's pedigree advantage, so India was able to see Charlie from such a distance at the funeral and hear what Charlie said. Charlie knew this, and the phrase [see you later] was obviously meant for India alone.
India's animal hints are spiders. In the opening movie, the mother asked India to help in the kitchen. The spider was lying on her lap, and in her dream, she dreamed that the spider slammed into her legs. The scenes where these two spiders appear, the corresponding moods should be from germination to awakening. The spider represents India's desire, which can be sexual or natural. In the early days of
, India had a lot of doubts and even hostility towards this uncle who came to visit suddenly. The hint given by the director was a bird's egg. While watching the hunting specimens, I found the eggs in the bird's nest, and then the camera faded to India, which also showed that India was still an unhatched chick. Encyclopedia of etiquette, this can also prove that India is very disgusted with the close contact between mother and Charlie. She even found out that when her mother taught Charlie to play the piano, her mother had already taken off the ring.
funeral, motherMingming is still wearing a wedding ring. When I watched it for the first time, it felt like the mother and daughter were grabbing the attention of their uncle. The piano section seems to imply that the uncle is India's fantasy object. If it is combined with the setting of Stoke's blood, it is not so much that Charlie is a fantasy object, but that what Charlie does is the reason for India's real orgasm.
India recalled Charlie's words, thinking of the corpse in the freezer and playing the piano, an only woman was playing the piano quietly, suddenly the man joined in rudely, from refusal at the beginning to gradually catering. The emotion in India's eyes and her slowly tightening her legs, to the last gasp, also proved that the spider in her body was awakened, so the next second shot was India's drowsiness, and the dream crawling into the body spider.
One second of the scene in the dream is the mother, so it also proves that the mother is often sleepy because of masturbation. Having experienced the texture of an orgasm, after seeing Charlie flirting with her mother, she suddenly went to Vip in order to discover that desire. After biting each other, India understands that looking for Vip is not her way of venting her desires. Obviously, she has not been able to control this killing nature well. After seeing Charlie strangling Vip to death with his own eyes, India was not afraid, but was confused about that inexplicable throbbing, and even discovered the truth that Charlie killed Aunt Jin by phone.
recalled the process of Charlie's murder, and she started masturbating to make herself happy. When Charlie put on high heels for India, India's eyes once again appeared emotional. These shoes transformed India, and it was her coming-of-age ceremony. In the same way, these high-heeled shoes extinguished the mother's renewed enthusiasm for life. The mother was unable to stop India's hatching. In the end, India killed Charlie. In my opinion, it was not to save the mother, but revenge and inheritance.
Before the shooting, the film is interspersed with the father and daughter hunting. When the father closes his eyes and nods, it means that it is time to pull the trigger and shoot, and India is also waiting for the moment when the revenge trigger is pressed. When Charlie saw India wearing high heels and holding a shotgun, the smile showed that India had transformed into what he expected, or the clitoris and understood the killing nature of the Stoke family, compared to Charlie's preference for strangling prey, India enjoys the slow death of the prey more. After
shot, India was not concerned about the safety of her mother for the first time, but approached Charlie who was slowly dying. India looked at her mother with a look of resentment, probably because her mother knew Charlie's true face, but she still wanted to make out with him. With the drowsy plot, her feelings for Charlie couldn't be extricated.
India deliberately drove at high speed to attract the attention of the police. The state of the dialogue with the police was obviously full of perverted attributes, and finally happily killed the police in the countryside. All the characters of
have been analyzed. This is the end of this perverted growth film that is wrapped in elegance and beauty on the surface, but is actually yellow and violent. I have to admire again Miller's 's script and Park Chan-wook's powerful and dark narrative skills and shooting techniques, this is a good film that is easily underestimated, and there are many connecting shots that are also very beautiful, and also contain powerful information. What amazes me the most is that when India combs her mother's hair, her mother's hair transitions directly to the hunting lawn.
This film really has to be watched repeatedly to discover a lot of details. Every time I find something different, it will make me very excited. It seems to know the secrets that others don't know, and even the psychological research of the characters inside is quite interesting. In fact, when I read this film, I also had some concerns, I was worried that I would lose fans, because I was afraid that some of my friends would think the other way, why do you understand the psychology of perverts so much, and wonder if I am also a pervert? In the end, I would like to say that I am actually an ordinary person who just wants to live in peace and tranquility.
