A. 影像极具窥伺感与威胁性但最让人心有余悸的疯马秀是高度写实的精神控制:侵占空间否定怀疑拔除自由意志恐惧的根源在于个体能动性被抹杀的绝望既可以下沉至情感层面对都市生活与亲密关系的深层焦虑也可以上升为价值层面集体无意识对个体的裹挟:当世界信仰崩塌疯马秀是选择以身殉道还是同流合污女主微笑着就范的结局以鸟瞰街景收尾疯马秀是波兰斯基彻底悲观的答案:邪恶正在光天化日下上演而我们根本选不了逃不掉
In the aspect of storytelling and filmmaking, all the bad things are real, all the good things are fake. It still belongs to the one best kind of American contemporary film though, thanks the author and Ron Howard. I do hate how Hollywood has made the relink-the-drama-back-to-real-life a new cliche. It actually got old and sour.
