Adapted from a real event, the capital punishment of the ＂Devil＂ is outrageous, and the cruelty of cruelty can’t bear to look directly at it.
Short film time, talk about an animated short film that not many people dare to talk about today.
What is the meaning of animation?
Miyazaki Hayao said that except Red Pig, all his animations are for children.
Relaxed, healing, fantasy, boundless, bizarre, showing people a magical and beautiful world.
But today, this part is obviously not included.
It wants to present reality.
And the truth, often can’t bear to look straight.
Animal nature
Bestia
This year’s Oscar nomination for best animated short film.
The most controversial short film on the list.
The controversy is very consistent: I can’t understand it.
It shouldn’t be.
Four words-"true adaptation".
The prototype of the protagonist is ingrid, an agent of the National Intelligence Agency during Chile’s dictatorship.
In the media disclosure, she is an out-and-out "devil".
Capital punishment, tyranny, abuse, Nazism ……
What makes her "famous" is one of the heinous cruelty.
(For a good reading experience, put it behind)
Going back to this animated short film, I can’t understand it, perhaps because the director is not retelling the reality, but restoring the reality in his mind.
Whose?
Lady, ingrid.
The hostess sat on the plane and looked out the window as if nothing had happened.
When the camera changes direction, you can see an obvious hole and crack on your face.

This is a bullet hole? The woman is dead? Going to heaven?
The lens goes deep into the "hole":
Enter the female host’s brain and follow her to recall the past …
Her life is simple.
One of the few colorful memories is her and the dog.
One person and one dog eat and live together, and share the cake at the same table for breakfast.
When going out, tie the dog leash and take the dog to work together.
The work content looks simple.
Sign in, take the tape, walk into a dark basement, and start … playing songs?
Night arrival, get off work.
No one knows what happened in the middle.
But strange things began to appear one after another.
First, on the way to work, a faceless man appeared across the street staring at himself.
Then I dream at night and dream about playing with dogs.
She suddenly cut off the dog’s head without hesitation.
The next day.
As before, eat breakfast, go out and work.
Sign in, take the tape and play the song.
Only this time, we got a glimpse of the working scene of the hostess.
The angle is very strange, and the barbed wire on the ground looks up.
All right, no suspense.
The daily "work" of the hostess is to clean up the prisoners.
Dogs are not only life partners, but also "good work partners".
Songs are not for "listening".
But to cover up the noise.
People, dogs and music …
Day after day, she is expressionless and doing something repetitive.
When it’s over, there will be a car that will take people away.
Is man dead or alive?
Is the dog good or bad?
Find the answer from the short film.
However, Sir would like to remind you once again that the facts "can’t bear to look straight":
Sir knows you haven’t fully understood it.
Don’t worry, explain slowly.
The beast has a strong style, dark picture and gloomy plot …
It’s just that an element is "out of place":
Porcelain doll hostess.
In the role design, the director used German porcelain doll aesthetics.
In reality, ingrid has almost no expression on her face and seldom speaks.
The coldness, hardness and fragility of this material match her psychological characteristics and personality.
Ingrid in reality was once the most powerful woman in Chile’s National Intelligence Agency (DINA).
The Bureau was founded under the leadership of dictator Augusto Pinochet, aiming at cracking down on "internal enemies".
Matters handled by the agency, including but not limited to espionage, kidnapping, torture, missing persons, making poisonous gas …
History is outrageous.
But condemnation is not the only purpose of the work.
The director is extremely restrained in showing relevant plots, which is why it makes people "incomprehensible".
The title of the film, "Animal Nature".
For animals, animality is instinct.
For people, animal nature can be regarded as an argument for human nature.
It does not overwhelm human nature. On the contrary, it indicates the most cold, heartless and hypocritical side of human nature.
For ordinary people, this is a thunder pool in people’s hearts.
For ingrid, this aspect is just the pillar on which she lives.
There is a scene in the film.
What is she carefully wiping?
-a wall full of medals.
This is one of the few "extracurricular activities" in her life.
Cold-blooded, it was molded into her bones from the beginning of the family.
But man is not an animal after all.
Not even a little bit of human looseness?
Yes.
One is a dream.
I still remember the dream that the hostess had at first, cutting off the dog’s head.
That dog is the embodiment of sin in her subconscious.
One is color.
Before the hostess is about to dream, there are always two light sources in the picture, showing bright and dark sides.
This may be the moment when the hostess is loose, and the remaining human nature suggests that she faces herself in her dream.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s not whitewashing.
All this has a premise-memory.
Those faceless people, dreams and other stream-of-consciousness techniques that make people shout "I can’t understand" are actually subconscious.
This is more like an unwilling inquiry into human nature than an analysis.
In reality.
Ingrid never admitted the crime and was not convicted for it.
Until more than 20 years later, he died like an ordinary person.
How is that possible?
Reality is cruel, but it is also dramatic that you can’t imagine.
The organization suddenly handed the hostess an envelope, and the hostess was dismissed without warning.
Endless.
Because of fear of confidential disclosure, the organization arranged an assassination.
I don’t know whether it’s God’s punishment or mercy …
The woman who was shot in the head is not dead.
The bullet flew into the brain and the woman’s house, and then the things in the room disappeared little by little.
Yes, she forgot everything.
Really or not?
In reality, people have not stopped seeking the truth.
But at least in the short film, the director gave his own answer.
If you don’t understand.
Suggest two brushes, Sir only gives a hint.
right
That hole.
