Cult movies with no taboos

my cult enlightenment film is the Hong Kong film "King of Power" (1991). The time of enlightenment is on a hot summer afternoon in the first grade of primary school. The place of enlightenment is at the home of a classmate, and the tool of enlightenment is a videotape. When I was still involved in the world, I was completely shocked and frightened when I saw all kinds of horrible and bloody scenes on TV. So much so that the first half of the journey was almost blindfolded (blindfolded while peeking through separate fingers). Er, you asked why he was half blindfolded. Did he have the courage to see it in the second half and said no with shame? it was because I was so scared in the second half that I almost ran home and lay in bed for several days, but the impact of the fear picture was slow. I felt that my soul was scared away. I only felt that the sun shone pale in the hutong when I came out of his house, and even the shadow on the ground seemed to be gone. "King of Power" is based on Roman, and I haven't read the comics. But I think the film should authentically retain the exaggerated and violent logic and painting style of the original cartoons: classic bloody scenes such as punching into the belly, meat grinder, quick knife, and so on, as well as strange chicken elements such as boxing, strangeness in the intestines, and broken tendons. All these left an indelible imprint in my mind, like a childhood nightmare.

So after watching the King of Power at that time, I couldn't help but talk about the film among my friends, about the violent and bloody scenes and exaggerated effects that abound in the film. As a result, this type of film that we have never come into contact with or even imagined before has become a topic, and of course, we will also imitate Li Wang's qigong and magical power in the film (yes, we can only make an empty shelf in action). What impressed us very much was that we all boasted that we had finished watching the film, but we were all impressed by our partners who could finish the film. Perhaps because of the preconceived reasons, even though I have been immersed in numerous cult movies up to now, I am still willing to put this film among the top three Chinese cult films (the other two are Liu Zhenwei's A Chinese Odyssey (1995) and Peng Haoxiang's Buy Man (2001). Of course, Qiu Litao's "pork barbecued pork buns in the eight Immortals Hotel" (1993), Wei Jiahui's "the birth of a prefix" (1997), and Lin Chaoxian's "Emergency in Rivers and Lakes" (2000) are all excellent cult films. Since the beginning of "King of Power" in my childhood, I have formed an inextricable bond with the unimaginably unique genre of cult movies. However, it was about 07 years after more than a decade that we systematically understood and liked cult movies. At that time, with the help of the Internet, we were looking for all the resources related to cult movies.

Its history is long enough. If we trace the origin of the earliest cult films along the river of time since the birth of the film, we will first come to Germany at the beginning of the last century. At that time, the golden period of expressionism, such as "Dr. Calgary's Cabin" (1919), "the birth of Brother Clay" (1920), "Northferatu" (1922), and other films all have the very obvious temperament and color of cult films. Then Bunuel's short film "an Andalu Dog" (1928), which reverts weird and real dreams to a shuddering level, is born. Ants from the palm, suddenly broken hands, and uneasiness are like the knife that pierced the human eye. Then came the first real cult film in history, which should also be the first drug-related film, "the epidemic of marijuana" (1936). Of course, this film is more in line with the current definition of a cult film than the previous films-- it is a film with extremely absurd content, rough production, and no lack of pornographic and violent scenes. Even in some ways, the film, whose original theme was to dissuade young people from touching marijuana, turned out to be an obscene film that helped hemp breed among young people when it was sacrificed after 30 years of silence. Of course, the distortion of the theme of this film has something to do with the hippie epidemic in the 1960s and 1970s. After all, at that time, the American "Midnight Movie" blew out a large number of cult films in film history. Such as "the Wildcat Road Adventures" (1965), "the Mole" (1970), "Harlow and Mulder" (1971), "uninvited guests" (1972), and "Pink Flamingo" (1972), "Loki Horror Show" and other well-known masterpieces.

as far as I know, many movie fans nowadays have a narrow understanding of cult movies, and when it comes to cult movies, they often can't help but think of shoddy, low-cost B-rated films, or alternative experimental films that don't know what to say. What's more, when they saw a movie full of plasma, amputated limbs and flying around, or full of strange and skillful sex scenes, they shouted, "Real cult!" In their eyes, "evil scripture" has become synonymous with "very pornographic and violent". The definition of cult movies is not that simple. After all, everyone has their evaluation and classification criteria. To put it bluntly, everyone has different experiences and experiences, different personalities and hobbies, and their subjective feelings about watching movies will also be different. Perhaps in the eyes of some people, the invincible bad film, which is vulgar and rebellious, is the supreme masterpiece in the hearts of some fans. It can be said that every fan has its cult definition.

moreover, there is neither a unified standard nor an established routine for the classification of cult movies, and it often breaks convention or even common sense. Different styles of cult films have different gimmicks and selling points, but successful cult films often have one thing in common, that is, they all gain more or less widespread fanaticism. The clothes of these super fans will be affected by their favorite movies, the way they speak, and even the way they do things. The formation of this kind of "crazy" fans is inseparable from the biggest killer mace of cult movies. What is this killer mace? As long as we remove some seemingly deep-rooted external forms of cult movies, one of the most important and easily overlooked features of cult movies will be revealed. Yes, a good cult movie will be "demagogic" to the audience, which is a kind of compulsory hypnosis the audience, which makes the audience have a strong reaction and even an impulse to imitate, and then reach the height of "worship." that is to say, "cult spirit worship". Take me, for example, I review the Loki Horror Show at least once a year. It is no exaggeration to say that I, a person who lacks athleticism and no talent for singing and dancing, can't help singing and dancing with some of the people in the film. Of course, we all remember the situation when the hotlines of "A Chinese Odyssey" swept the irrigation areas of major forums in China more than a decade ago, when almost everyone could easily get the classic lines from the film for their use. These are the charm of cult movies. It is undeniable that watching movies is addictive while watching cult movies is more addictive. Why? Because it's all-inclusive. It can contain and mix all the elements that can be used for its use and show it in ways that make the audience unexpected. It is a kind of film type of anti-genre film.

cult movies are not restrained but open, not conformist but untaboo. The cult film is a minority, and it is the extension and heating up of the "shadow culture". It tends to become some kind of elite film, it is a type of film that deviates from the mainstream commercial market, is picky about cinemas, and will not serve the authority above. It is born with a recalcitrant pedigree, it is picky about the object, will not exist to please the majority of fans, it only shows its charm to knowledgeable fans. Can't you see how many cult movies have become classics in film history, and the process from evil to scripture takes more time to baptize, and even more needs generations of fans to wash it out. I firmly believe that cult movies will always be a spiritual feast for minority fans.
