梦幻狂杀

风在林间穿行
以往是一段遗忘
遗忘一张可怜的脸
不管拥有什么
这是充满暴力的世界
你只能在幻觉中无力地逃亡
逃向误解的中心直至死亡

只有
风落向林间的落魄不变
只有
父女间不动声色的融解不变

向前迈出一步就可以改变
千万不要悲伤

有些人看上去是那么古怪

有些人看上去是那么暴躁

有些人看上去就对别人有威胁感

有些人看上去就象是个会犯罪的人

然而结果如何

火星人留在地球太恐怖了

还是回到火星比较好

一件艺术品，如果能对我们认识世界有所助益，陌生化几乎是必由之路，概无例外。具体到本片，它的陌生化技巧，是以摄影机代替精神病人的眼睛，以卓越的音效（本片的声音处理绝对够的上Top10）模拟病人的双耳，以此捕捉到了一个崭新的世界。 奇怪的是，这个无人关心，无法进入，肮脏，混乱，冷飕飕的世界出乎意料地让我深深感动。而且，仿佛一种奇妙的化学反应，病人世界又反过来陌生化了普通人的世界，比如，那个平实无比的，母亲把剪下的鱼头扔到垃圾桶的镜头，再比如，母子之间的，父女之间的两段简短对话。

为什么一个好好的，意蕴丰富的英文片名Clean，Shaven被译成了烂俗的《梦幻狂杀》？那个世界不是梦幻，和我们普通人的世界一样真实，甚至更为真实；也不存在狂杀，受伤害的只是那个主人公，而在导演成功的悲悯关照下，主人公自虐的镜头不再是血腥，而是被深深认同。因此Clean和Shaven不单单是对病人世界的描绘，而且是作为动词作用于观众的，因为我们这个死气沉沉的世界更需要一次彻底的清洗和剪刈。

  About two weeks ago, I finished watching this movie, with little appreciation to the annoying metal background noise and little understanding of what the director wanted to tell us on earth. I supposed it's just a quiet simple and aimless movie, which told about a mental patient wanted to see his daughter, however, was misunderstood as a murderer to a little girl. The end of the movie, the policeman who chase him all along way finally killed him under the sight of his daughter and eventually knew that he wasn't the real murderer.
  I really didn't feel the movie had touched me in any factors contained in it. The plot, the camera shot, the performance, and the background music(noise?). So I didn't think too much, maybe the only memory the movie left me was some cruel bloody shots I even did not want to watch.

  And today, many things remind me of this movie.

  I'm in a mess. It seems everything comes together to beat me down at the very same time. I'm not going through this kind of feeling first time, actually, many times before. The depression strikes me fiercely and I know how pathetic I am I know maybe I never get what I want I know the edge of breaking down is so close to me every time, every time it comes.
  I hate what I am. I'm a sensitive man, far too sensitive, and frail. I hear noise in the silence and think about where I'm really going. I walk on the street and suddenly the huge loss strikes me without any reason, any premonition. I so easily break down at those very little things. Maybe I just want one thing, one single demand, and I couldn't get it.
  
  Maybe it's what he felt, I thought.

  And I suddenly understand the director, to some degree, that he express the story using the particular way, show the life of people we are not familiar with and we don't want to be familiar with, their feelings, thoughts, struggles, agonies.

  But the people who owns them still sink into the infinite darkness, step by step, nobody could save, even care.
 
  And I know.

       看罢本片，引发了我对于“时间是主观的还是客观的”这样一个深刻哲学命题的重新思考。因为，这部仅70余分钟的电影，让我前前后后用了三天，观影体验从内在时间维度讲就如同看了27次《僵尸肖恩》一般。
       这部电影不同于传统“闷片”，特别是欧系闷片。传统闷片，闷如《去年在马德里巴昂》，尽管对于电影剧情脑中萦绕的只有”WTF“三个字母，但起码对于画面和镜头剪辑调度来说，有一定观影基础的人都不得说赞一句”典雅唯美“。但对于本片，色调永远如同因腹泻而产生的baba一般，场景只有荒凉和破败，男主角不帅不酷不有趣也就罢了，导演连小女孩的角色都丧心病狂的找了一位长的颇具张力的小演员来演，还热衷于给剖死鱼、拨指甲这种R级镜头以“赖着不走型”的特写，摆明了要碾碎观众所有的观影快感！
        为了营造男主孤独脆弱的内心世界，本片准备了大量看似毫无意义的情节，你如果想问：“这到底是什么意思？” 答案显而易见：问一个幻听系精神病人的行为逻辑，你发神经啊？！！
        另外我给没看过本片的朋友的预警是：这部没有几句台词片子可能是你看过的最聒噪的电影之一！！！
        那么，既然如此，为何我还是为这部电影送上了华丽的四星呢？我没有找到科学合理学院派的理由，所以只能无可奈何的给出如下解释：
        我真是一位品味卓绝，充满内涵和深度的高阶影迷！


       

First of all, this film is technically brilliant. The soundtrack and clastrophobic cinematography are both exemplar. Peter Greene's acting is remarkably controlled and nuanced, and steers clear of the usual excess of actors/actresses new to the realm of human aberrations.

Secondly, like many great films, "Clean, Shaven" is empathetic to the protagonists, without being sympathetic.

Thirdly, again, like many great films, it is open to different interpretations, rendering multiple "subjective" possibilities. Mine, for instance, is "Clean, Shaven" as a critique of the dark side of American Puritanism. More later, if anyone wishes to listen.
