快乐结局2017

一个破碎的法国上层家庭，一个想自杀的成功老企业家和一个自杀未遂的小孩，一个有婚外恋的已婚男人，一个家庭主妇，一个溺爱儿子的单亲母亲快要迎来自己下一段婚姻，一个被母爱限制了自由儿子和一群生活在他们的“理想国”中的仆人。每个人都生活在自己的世界里面，每个人都有自己的隐私，那些藏在手机里和电脑里的不为人知的秘密，电影直接用手机屏幕和电脑屏幕代替了摄影机的叙事，渐渐地推进故事的发展。法国文艺电影明星大团圆，全是跟哈内克合作多年的人马特兰蒂老头子，于阿姨，艾米丽男神卡索维茨等上演了一出文艺范儿的家庭闹剧。电影还借老头子的故事延续了哈内克之前的获奖作品《爱》，深情的特兰蒂老头坐在轮椅上渐渐地沉入大海作为《快乐结局》的结局。电影从讲述家庭关系和人物感情的细腻程度上让我想起杨德昌的《一一》，而哈老一贯的实验性手法在本片中依然用得恰到好处，老当益壮的哈老用好的故事，好的电影语言让我们这个时代依然有好的电影存在，只叹息这几年的威尼斯和戛纳电影节都走向了好莱坞化，《寄生虫》和《小丑》这些电影放在哈老头的电影面前简直就是小巫见大巫！🎬🇫🇷

法式电影的节奏，好像突然就理解了一些碎片的意义。灯要一盏一盏的关，消息要逐字逐句的发，眼泪要从心里到眼角最后在脸颊上抹开，缓慢的生活要一帧一帧的去数。就像《山月记》里写的：这个世界整体看来似乎是毫无意义的，但作用于具体之细节，就有了无限之意义。 一个体面的家庭：事业、庄园、佣人和狗，不缺少幽闭的悲伤。每个人的脸是戒备森严又光鲜亮丽的地壳，每个人心里都有岩浆暗涌。体面背后，家人成为彼此的裂缝，试图拯救却总是越推越远。最后一个镜头，女孩在远处记录老人投海，而一群拯救者呼啸而过。没有“happy end”，当拯救成为一种过错。

From the prodigious Austrian auteur Michael Haneke, prima facie HAPPY END can be construed as a sequel to AMOUR (2012), with both Jean-Louis Trintignant and Isabelle Huppert returning as another father-daughter pair, but scale-wise, it is an upgrade, with Haneke’s rapier-like scalpel mirthlessly levering at and dissecting a dysfunctional bourgeois household in Calais under a large milieu. First thing first, extending his attentive exploration related to what constitutes today’s cinematic gaze, Haneke situates his camera on our workaday digital devises, opening with several video clips from a live-recording smartphone (with morbid contents notwithstanding), to the (replay-prompting) footage of a security camera coldly witnessing an abrupt collapse on a construction site, then eyeing erotic exchanges from the screens of a personal email account and a facebook page between two secretive lovers, even to a swaggering Youtube video watched by the 13-year-old Eve Laurent (Harduin, an alumna from Belgium’s Got Talent whose speciality is mentalism), all contributes to his rehashed conception of evil, destruction and lust lurking on the placid surface of a disengaged normalcy. Restraint and remove is Haneke’s methodological thumbprint, in HAPPY END, this approach is well applied in scenes where violence, mortality and incommunicability flares, such as when the wheelchair-bound, dementia-ailed, world-weary paterfamilias Georges Laurent (Trintignant) approaches a cohort of African immigrants on the street, the camera stays stock-still on the other side of the road, we can merely judge by their body language to infer the content of their conversation, and Georges’ attempt ends in vain. Only after his another proposition falls through we might second-guess that George wants to pay them to kill him. Interestingly, correlating the later scene where Georges’ grandson Pierre (Rogowski) disrupts the “whiteness” of his mother Anne’s (Huppert) engagement party by unsolicitedly bringing a group of refugees from Calais Jungle, Haneke’s seemingly token orchestration of ghettoized Africans as a go-to weapon to debunk the middle-class indifference and complacency packs a less impactful punch than one might expect from his audacious streak. This happy-less, mansion-dwelling ménage assembles a multi-national cast: as an outsider, Toby Jones is given nearly nil to act as Anne’s British fiancé, though his own distinctive physiognomy standing side by side with Huppert alone adumbrates the grotesquerie of their pairing; Huppert’s Anne is as per usual a brittle businesswoman type whose superficially wholesome life has its feet of clay within her own bloodline; a hale Trintignant fixates on Georges’ one-track mind with crystal-clear, if sometimes dementia-addled perspicacity and his standoffish detachment is the extrinsic outgrowth of a decades-old carapace that he can no longer empathize with the present world and has no will to footle about anymore, yet the bitter irony (indicated by the film’s title and the trenchant ending) is that his holy grail remains as elusive as ever. Mathieu Kassovitz as Thomas Laurent, Georges’ surgeon son and Eva’s estranged father, comes off as the weakest link here, too lackluster to elicit any emotional investment, and is worse off when in juxtaposition with Harduin’s precocious, simmering acuity, venom descending from a hereditary lineage. Last but not least, there is this fantastic German actor Franz Rogowski, who stunningly presents an incompetent and despondent Pierre as a mind-bending specimen of a poor little rich boy, and Haneke cunningly teases audience with Pierre standing near an open window during a passive-aggressive confrontation with Anne in the middle of the night, hints that he might be a self-destructive head case, which seems to reassure his devotees that the filmmaker is still the flinty hard-liner we are au fait with, perhaps, that is what HAPPY END actually stands for. referential entries: Haneke’s AMOUR (2012, 8.4/10), FUNNY GAMES (1997, 7.0/10).

影片中人物的行为举止是被导演放大加工过的，但也确实提炼自生活。人们大多都活在自己设计好的皮囊下面，皮囊之下早都千疮百孔了，却还能衣着光鲜地面对外人。这也并不只是欧洲中产阶级的特征，而是现代文明进程下的普遍现象：冷漠与虚伪。欧洲电影人最喜欢聊的问题之一就是冰冷发达城市中的人际关系。如果你对人生迷茫了，你能通过这部电影找到活着的希望。如果你正奋斗在人生前线，你也能靠着这部电影审视自己。就是这么神奇，信不信由你。

在最后一幕，当年已经87岁的老演员坐着轮椅在海水中飘摇，始终不能下定决心死还是不死，是不是现在死，头上仅剩的几根毛倔强地迎风展开又缩回，身上的摇摆也不知道是水的能量波还是内心的挣扎。

按照他的指令将其推到水里的小孙女，在大约十米开外看着，并没有很惊恐。当然，她已经是个惯犯，小时候父亲失踪，母亲用药导致精神不稳定，她已经不是第一次帮“有需要”的人去实现“离开”这一“梦想”。也是惯性使然，她拿出了她的苹果手机，记录下这一刻，毕竟每次面临这种别人的“生死”，这都是她的惯性做法。

通过镜头看手机，我们看到了手机的实时录制，老人的一对子女突然出现，就是那个出轨当饭吃，还把深情甩的儿子，以及全剧最正常，一直在跟家里的“神经病”们做惯常斗争的女儿，尖叫着冲去“捞”他们老爸。女儿回头很不解的看了一下正在录影的大外甥，世界级女演员的表情简直不能再到位的表示一个正常的人类对非正常人类的一种“疑惑”，这种疑惑不是不解，其实正常人不会懂得。正因为女儿是正常人，她一直用正常的观点去理解身边不正常的人，因此有点错位，有时候会让人崩溃，有时候会莫名好笑，就像她和她有点精神问题的儿子的日常交流。

拍这个片子的时候，导演也已经很老了，我觉得老了之后很看开，导演据说一直很擅长“就那样”似的反映人间真是存在的痛苦与矛盾，看着像没有什么有机结合或者高深含义，但其实只要真实，本身就是有机的整体以及高深的境界。此片确实展示了这点。

正常人有正常人的烦恼，像唯一正常的女儿以及她的男朋友，为了将不正常的身边人捞回正轨，操碎了心，他们也不是圣人，但是当困难来临，他们不乏用尽力量去做对的事情，她能正面面对工地意外的处理；在自己的婚礼被而儿子的“闹剧”突然打乱时，她和她的律师男友还会加桌子让儿子请来的“难民”坐下参加婚宴，人类正常以及适当的典范。说道这里，我突然想起律师对受害人家属毫无感情地念了一段又解释了一段关于赔偿的处理，终极意义就是”受害人，你承诺我们理赔了但是没有责任哦”，女儿和她的儿子以及受害家庭一脸懵。正常人绝对不这么说话，但是律师真的就是这样说话，说得他自己可能都不愿意相信自己的法律似的。

不正常的人有不正常的人的烦恼，一老一小，他们不觉得自己有任何问题，就是世界观可能跟正常人不一样。小女孩观点：我不喜欢一个整天搞我的小女孩，我就麻醉她；我妈老是乱用药，神经了，跟死有什么不一样，我帮她；我爸老爱婚内出轨，这次弄不动他，自杀以明志，反正你别在抛弃我；乍一看，真是没毛病。最后，还是老不正常能跟她对上话，虽然上一次他俩最有意义的对话就是老人问她你会一直待在这里么？似乎很不待见她，这可是亲孙女！？而且在他儿子说明情况之后，他还再问了一次，其实他不是没有弄明白他儿子的意思，是他儿子没有弄明白他的意思，所以他会在理头发的时候跟理发师说，他想死，不能让儿子帮忙，因为他儿子是一个白痴。他的儿子对他的唯一的继承就是对女性的痴迷。

有时候觉得太聪明的人也很痛苦，因为他们有他们的想法，别人又管不住他，于是跑偏，跑偏其实也很痛苦。

最后说说女儿的儿子，他其实真的需要用药。
