Absurd comedy can never be separated from the core of satire, if you have some kind of disagreement or incomprehension of a movie, then after you combine reality, you will have new discoveries, because the core of satire lies in combining with reality, after referring to reality, the flashpoint of absurd comedy itself will come out.
The film I recommend to you today is an absurd comedy, and the protagonist of this film is very special, he is a donkey. "Donkey Barking" is an absurd comedy that fits reality, how absurd is it? When you combine this film with every modern person, there is not much sense of disobedience. Maybe we're the donkey in the film. So what's the point? Isn't it just a metaphor for a man like a donkey? What can be done? No matter what, as long as you see the final scene and see the final destination of the donkey, there will not be so many doubts.
The donkey in "Donkey Bark" originally lived in the circus, because the donkey itself was very smart, so it should have been an excellent animal actor, and a lot of animals gathered in the circus were also a good home for the donkey, but the good times did not last long. When the animal protection ** was promulgated and implemented, the circus donkey became a homeless orphan, which even the actress who likes the donkey the most is powerless, and the donkey has thus become a special existence, in the circus it has lost its original job and identity, outside the circus, the donkey has completely fallen into "mediocrity".
So, the donkey escaped, and the escaped donkey began his great adventure in life. After encountering a series of people such as immoral roaders, revelers, and small-town athletes, the donkey still does not feel happy, loneliness is always accompanied by the donkey, and the most important thing it can not ignore is the strange feeling from the inside out, which makes the donkey feel that no matter how happy the outside world is, it has nothing to do with him, therefore, the donkey itself is not willing to stay in such an environment for a long time, but the environment that the donkey yearns for is the best environment? It doesn't seem to be, when the donkey finally walked to his familiar harbor, he also came to an end.
The good thing about this film is that the audience has a very strong sense of involvement, who is the donkey? Donkeys may be all of us. We were born in a familiar place, and this familiar place itself is not the place where we grew up, therefore, many people always have to leave their familiar place to find the value of life in a strange place when they grow up. At this time, the familiar place becomes the harbor of life, and the life we look forward to will be staged in this place as a place of tranquility in the heart. But we knew that such a place would never go back.
However, when we enter the society, it is like a donkey leaving the place of birth and entering a strange world, this strange place has little to do with each of us, and it seems to be forcibly added, for example, under the influence of the donkey, a small town team wins, for example, the donkey is taken away by a person on the street in the name of a friend, etc. Whether these are what the donkey wants, no one knows, but these are the things that these people think the donkey wants.
In daily life, there is always such a deviation between what we expect from ourselves and what the outside world gives us, which does not represent anything in itself, but can make everyone feel that a lonely mood is constantly breeding. Are the gains and possessions in our lives the same as our expectations?
Is everything we want really what we want right in front of us? No one can give a complete answer, but everyone can feel that sometimes, you will feel that everything in front of you has nothing to do with you, but when a problem is really placed in front of you, what is related to you, the problem arises again. The answer is still unknown.
We are always looking for our own goals, just like the donkey is constantly looking for its own life, what the donkey wants to find is a living environment where you can be with more partners, these partners are also like-minded, but when the real scene happens as desired, the donkey has come to the end.
This is very similar to people, we are willing to find more like-minded partners, but when the real like-minded partners come together, it may be a disaster that awaits us.
People's life is busy running or wandering aimlessly, no one can know what the direction of life is, and no one can find the meaning of life, we run day by day, year after year, it seems that we have gained something, it seems to yearn for a life, but the helplessness is only known to themselves. Life does not become kind because we give something, and the external environment does not change because we come. The old and the new are intertwined to form a spectacle, and perhaps what we want is not contradictory to what we have, or maybe these are two very different things. Maverick is what everyone wants to have, but what's the use of being maverick? A small force cannot change the big environment, and the donkey will eventually be unable to escape the fate of the slaughterhouse.
