Play (2011)★ 7.4/10

Was the black kid who was robbed of his cell phone a member of the group of black teenagers who robbed his cell phone before? Did you find the right person for this account? To be honest, I can't tell the difference myself, they are all black, but this "distinguishment" just becomes the most intriguing moment of the film.

The story setting is basically that black people are a social cancer. It is estimated that Ruben Östlund was blocked directly in the filming in the later years; although the narrative is reconciling the offensive part, the whole is still an objective social observation, but the climax is still powerful and direct criticism Our Lady. The long slow motion has aesthetic significance but it is still too long, as if trying to make up the time of a long film.

It is very obvious that I can feel the difference from the previous two films. Ruben's attention has shifted from "expressing group portraits" to "expressing a complete story". It is convenient for the audience to better enter into Ruben's works. The scene of the shopping mall at the beginning has obvious shadows of "The Bank Incident", and the tram scene is also Ruben's usual forte. From 40 minutes onwards, there was an 8-minute long shot of the tram, where the black people teased the passengers wearing earphones, and then several people suddenly got on the bus and beat the children, and then the tram restarted after the children ran off, like As in "Involuntary", the tram turns a corner, and the camera brings out a child who has not escaped outside the picture and is hiding in the blind spot of vision. Judging from this paragraph, I have to admire Ruben's scene scheduling ability. The mysterious cradle in another story is very humorous.

I really like the one-of-a-kind "Tourist" and the Fortnightly one more than "The Square." The excavation of human nature is too powerful, sharp and cold, and this film is aimed at children of different classes, which is too good. (It’s something that I would encounter when I was a child.) The lines are so cool, the lines in the penultimate scene in the park, I and the passers-by and the audience next to me have been applauding silently.

Nope, Ostlund is so good, he might be promoted to my favorite living director. Comparing political campaigns to a child's play, and telling a child's play about "stealing a mobile phone" is complete and full of wit. Through the group play of eight children—it’s hard to imagine the difficulty of scheduling so many children’s performances—the ridiculous “slogan politics” has been clearly explained. The sound and picture control is mature.

Asians have once again become victims. Both immigrants and disadvantaged groups, there are many whores defending blacks in this world, but Asians rarely have a real sense of existence. it's reality

Ostlund's social experiment texts often show the uncontrollable physiological reactions of the awkward actor and the recipient, such as the young man who was harassed by a black teenager, snatched his earphones, and was trapped in a moving vehicle and could not escape There is no one to help, and Asian boys with diarrhea in the wild, they are a little nervous and unable to control themselves from the coercion of immigrant groups. The reason why black immigrants have successfully robbed repeatedly is that they familiarized themselves with and used the rules of the adult world early on. After being followed, children failed to seek help from fast food restaurant employees and couldn’t get through to their parents’ phone calls. The indifference of adults made the bully arrogant. The crowd went to make jokes about the victim, and shouted when the mobile phone was violently taken back by the white boy's father, to attract the Virgin of Europe to stand up for his rights as a vulnerable group, while the penniless child was robbed in the subway When being fined on board, the helpless child is in the center of the composition, and the strong figure of the ticket inspector next to him is reflected on the window glass. The child is always on the edge of the huge adult world, just like the unclaimed child on the train obstructing the order of the carriage The cradle of the world is a victim of the bystander effect.IMPRESSIVE

7.5/10 Shooting too much Roy Anderson is a problem. But it can be said that this is the most sincere emotion in Ruben's works, and it is also the most realistic and the most focused on exploring issues. It actually reminded me of the unbearable past where I was robbed of 20 euros by a black brother at the Basilica of the Sacred Heart in Paris last year...so so.
