Hidden camera

Focus: criticizing modernism

Austrian director michael haneke is regarded as the last modernist director and has won the Cannes Film Director Award five times. His Hidden Camera (2005) was rated as "the best film of the 20th century 100" by the British newspaper The Guardian (No.6). Say it briefly.

Suspense bedding. This film is an urban drama that pays attention to social problems such as hidden shooting and voyeurism earlier. The film begins with a sneak shot of the video, and you can see the daily life of the next family. Then, George (Daniel Auteuil) and Anna (Juliette Binoche) who received the video looked back at the video, and the flashback plot was set in line with the scene in the play, which was a bit interesting. Anyone who encounters such a thing as being peeped must be extremely afraid, paving the way for a suspense drama atmosphere in a non-stimulating stimulus. Putting aside photography skills and focusing only on the plot, the foreshadowing of this film is worth pondering.

Critical moment. With the development of the plot, the couple continue to receive new videos; When the truth was close at hand, it tore open George's disgraceful childhood story. For George, this is a dusty and even forgotten past; But for Majid (MauriceBé nichou), it is an indelible pain in his life. In flashback, little George hated little Gide because the latter stole the love that should belong to the former; Majid hated George all his life because his childish behavior deprived him of his right to education. Haneck discussed the issue of children and immigrants in an almost cruel and critical way (Majid committed suicide in front of George).

Modernity. First of all, due to post-war trauma, modern people show unbalanced, distorted, indifferent and distrustful feelings in their relationships. For example, the inexplicable peeping made this seemingly harmonious family of three nearly collapse, and the disappearance of his son opened a hidden crisis in a beautiful world. The hidden camera, like a behind-the-scenes pusher, insinuates the worship of technology in modern society. Second, uncertainty. Although the feud between George and Majid ended, there was still no definite answer until the end, and the camera was still shooting, which aroused the audience's curiosity and thinking.
