Since the great French director Luc Besson won the ** case, he has launched the criminal masterpiece "Dog God" after four years. He used smooth narrative and violent scenes to show the criminals who have been imprisoned in the dog cage since childhood, and can control the dogs to steal and kill, all kinds of good details, making this **fairy tale amazing!
The story unfolds in the structure of "interrogation transcript", in the cramped inquiry room space, the black female doctor talks to Doug, and slowly reminisces about the vicissitudes of the past!This criminal, who lives with stray dogs, likes to dress up as a woman, and when he enters the police station dressed as Marilyn Monroe, the police are at a loss!
The male protagonist Doug (English homonym for "dog") was abused by his father and brother at an early age, and his cowardly mother abandoned him while fleeing the family. The male protagonist was imprisoned in a dog cage since he was a child, and learned to communicate with the dogs, until he was disabled by a bad father's gun, and then sent the dog to the police and was rescued!
Doug's upbringing was full of pain and suffering, due to the cruel actions of his father and brother, but he was a blessing in disguise and gained the ability to manipulate the dogs. In the middle part, the girl he had a crush on introduced to Shakespeare**, but the latter went to Broadway to be an actor, and he missed his fate because of his disability!
Because of his physical disability, no troupe was willing to accept Doug, and the only job he could find was to sing in the "drag queen" tavern. Cannes actor Calleber Landry Jones delivered a brilliant performance that blended cheesy gestures with innocent eccentricities, a heartbreaking performance that was amazing.
In Cabaret's performance, Doug played the role of Edith Piaf, Marilyn Monroe and Marlene Dietrich and other celebrities, his natural singing voice is absolutely pleasant, Jones's performance and appearance are even more unique, and his hysterical expressions are comparable to Joaquin Phoenix in "Joker".
In the dialogue between the male protagonist and the black doctor, various lines are sharp and incisive, Doug said that "the strong in the animal world will always devour the weak, but in the human world, the weak and the bad will always survive" and "dogs have only one shortcoming, that is, they believe in humans too much", with Luc Besson's complex interpretation of human nature and the animal world.
After Doug was able to control the dogs, he began to seek justice for the local residents who collected protection money, sending dogs to bite the gangsters' **, threatening them aggressively, and countering violence with violence. He controls dogs to steal the jewelry of the rich, not for excitement and money, but to challenge the "rules of the world" and use expensive jewelry as a prop in his performance.
The whole film is filmed around dogs, and Luc Besson's control is great, just like the corgi of **, the Doberman Pinscher guarding the door, and the wolf dog that attacks people, all of which are very interesting. And "burglary", "gang fighting", and "rescue and prison escape" are all very particular and breathtaking.
In particular, the gangster led the team to attack the old house of the "Dog God", various mechanism sets to hunt and kill the enemy, and the hot shootout between the two sides, which is a bit of the amazing feeling of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" in the past!Photography and art create a dark and magnificent, dirty and neat environment, gangster villains are killed one after another, and all kinds of violent shots are super cool!
In the course of their exchanges, the inquirer repeatedly despised and spurned the "dog god" as a murderer and a crime, and said to him that the law was only a rule to protect the rich, which was regarded as a play on words, not a compliment to him. But in the end, when asked why she was talking so much to herself, the "dog god" replied that she seemed to have a similar "pain" to herself, which was intriguing!
At the end, the dogs attacked the police station, and the dogs were outnumbered and rescued Doug. The hero walks to the church at dawn and lies down, and as the sun rises, the shadow of the cross formed by the dogs covers him. This kind of open-ended ending gives a different kind of romanticism!
Director Luc Besson has been a little difficult to get rid of the "redemption of human nature" complex in his years of creation, from "Killer Leon", "Nikita" to "Dog God", all of which have made criminals humane, and the action scenes are also very cool, and there is passion, violence, warmth and sadness in the story, which is likable!
