Limits of control Before watching "Fang" it is better not to know anything about its plot. It is enough to tune in to a provocative, sharp and not very pleasant movie. I think all the interest of the viewer is based on the plot component – the small features of the pathological life of one family. And how to interpret these oddities, everyone is free to decide for himself.
The director’s detachment from the events of the film, which is related to the work of Haneke, is clearly manifested in the concentration on the everyday level, for example, in deliberately prolonged scenes of mechanical sex. From all this, it is not easier for either the viewer or the director, who manages to dilute the “household” with a number of humorous moments.
Despite the unaesthetic nature of everything shown, the film leaves a lot of space for thought (for some reason, the "Cargo 200" is remembered - is it really in order to make us think, the creators of the film are forced to show any abomination?).
Of course, the plastic life of very adult children may be perceived as an allegory of social, political life, but for me, the individual is more than a society or a nation. On a personal level, child control is enormous. Why? The director's answer lies in the language - controlling the language reality of children, parents fully own them. Children don’t have names, they don’t have individuality. There is not a single word that does not fit in the narrow space of the home yard. In this regard, the specialization of one of the daughters is ideally selected - medicine (all with yourself). There are no bad words - and discontent has to be expressed only by lies, which parents agree to, because they immediately reveal it - well, the dead brother threw stones at you, how!
How irrevocably changed the eldest daughter after watching only a few Hollywood movies! Vocabulary increases several times, and now she, already confident in her rightness, immediately finds what to say after incest: “Repeat, and I’ll let you out, dirty bitch.”
