[Official Account: Outside Langyuan] "Puppet Life" is a farce
By Laurie 2022-04-23 07:01:17
Be someone else or continue to be yourself
Whether it is a manipulated puppet or a person whose mind is controlled, they are all puppets.
On the other hand, I want to live out several roles of myself through others——
The hero who still has nothing
The two female protagonists raise this child who cannot escape being manipulated by fate
There is also a group of old people who rely on other people's bodies to prolong their lives (reminds me of "Escape from the Deadly Town")
Another question is why so many...

God's editor is an idea that can make a big play
"Becoming John Malkovich" is a movie that has made Charlie Kaufman a god-made writer, and I have to admire the genius screenwriter's unrestrained thinking. A secret passage that leads to John's brain, this brain hole is already amazing, and Charlie does not stop there, and further derives his thoughts on consciousness and sex and builds a pattern of great cycles. It also seems to have seen the shadow of the master key. Humanity's desire for immortality seems to be the same as the general...

I would like to take a look at these characters:
Craig: Puppet artist, in love with his colleague Maxime. Finding himself able to manipulate JM's thinking and actions for a long time made JM a well-known puppet artist and later married Maxime. After Maxime estranged from him, he found out that Lotte and Maxime were together, and wanted to enter JM's mind to win Maxime's heart, but since the entry time had passed JM's 44th birthday, he strayed into the new host's little girl Emily's...

The setting of the seventh floor and a half is eye-catching
About chatting and not chatting,
People chatting not on one channel can't understand each other.
Probably because he is a shy person and surrounded by real people, this kind of situation is very embarrassing.
Talking to myself has always been quite lonely, and Kaufman's script seems to be about the sexual repression of loneliness, but he expresses this sexual repression very directly.
This book is kind...

Maxine: Oh, Lotte. Lotte, this is so good!
Craig Schwartz: [inside John Malkovich watching Maxine] My God!
Maxine: Lotte.
Craig Schwartz: [inside John Malkovich watching Maxine] This is amazing.
Maxine: Lotte.
Craig Schwartz: [inside John Malkovich watching Maxine] Oh, touch her breast. Touch her breast. Right hand across left breast now.
Maxine: Lotte!
Craig Schwartz: [inside John Malkovich watching Maxine] Move right hand across left breast now! Move right hand across left breast now!
John Malkovich: Something was making me talk. Some - goddamn thing was making me move. I gotta get outta here.
Maxine: Oh, doll face! It was just - your passion for me taking hold.
John Malkovich: No! Doll face, I know what my passion taking hold feels like.
Craig Schwartz: I did it! I made him move his arm across your girlfriend's glorious tit! Oh! And - I made him talk, sort of. It's just a matter of practice before Malkovich is nothing more than a another puppet hanging next to my work table.
