That's the closest I'll ever come to getting a knighthood, so thank you. My deepest thanks to the members of the Academy for whacking me with the handsomest bludgeon in town.
這大概是本人最接近封爵的時刻了，感謝影藝學院以這座小金人重擊我。

–noun
1. a short, heavy club with one end weighted,
or
thicker and heavier than the other.
–verb (used with object)
2. to strike or knock down with a bludgeon.
3. to force into something; coerce; bully: The boss finally bludgeoned him into accepting responsibility.
As a tale of death and expediency, "Shallow Grave" also invites comparison to Alfred Hitchcock, who dealt with a wayward corpse throughout "The Trouble With Harry" and once (on one of his television shows) let a heroine bludgeon her husband with a leg of lamb before feeding the murder weapon to the police.
But even at his most ghoulish, Hitchcock never forgot to invite his viewers' involvement in ways that Mr. Boyle pointedly ignores.
These may be jaded times, but we're not yet beyond requiring violence to be leavened by some element of humanity, no matter how macabre or dark. It's not enough to provide brilliantly artful back lighting when one character is busy carving up another with a handsaw.
