This man's name should be remembered
How did he navigate such a complex narrative structure? How did the movie come about in the first place? How to weave those messy story threads together?
Watching a movie is like
watching Once you drop it, your eyes will jump with it
. What a magical effect
. ).
The train station is the demarcation point:
1. Follow the mother - meet Anna. Dirty talk by the pond is another dividing line. bad language. The two became strangers. Nemo was a science show narrator at this time. Later, the director interspersed with others. Nemo would swap roles with his partner Pete and fall into a lake to die.
2. Follow mom - meet Anna. Dirty talk by the pond is another dividing line. Don't swear. Nemo later became a wandering artist. The two met, fell in love, separated (because of the Brazilian butterfly effect), and then met again (little Nemo's butterfly effect was that magical maple leaf that appeared from beginning to end) and fell in love. together.
3. Follow Dad - Meet Ellis. Ellis' door is a demarcation. Leave silently. Hit a tree, get hospitalized.
4. Follow Dad - Meet Ellis. Ellis' door is a demarcation. Courage to speak up. Here is another demarcation. Ellis refused. Nemo met Ginny, got married and had children. At this time, Nemo might be a key figure in a secret agency and was killed by mistake.
5. Follow Dad - Meet Ellis. Ellis' door is a demarcation. Courage to speak up. Here is another demarcation. Ellis accepts. Marry Ellis. This is another demarcation point. There was no explosion after the wedding. Ellis was an executive at a copier company and started writing novels. Ellis suffers from depression and runs away from home.
6. Follow Dad - Meet Ellis. Ellis' door is a demarcation. Courage to speak up. Here is another demarcation. Ellis accepts. Marry Ellis. This is another demarcation point. There was an explosion after the wedding. Ellis became a narrator of a science program, and took the first story line, meeting Anna, who became his partner wife.
7. There is a small clue in the back. In Nemo's sci-fi story, Nemo kept his promise, sprinkled Ellis' ashes on Mars, and happened to meet Anna.
8. The whole thread of the story. In the future sci-fi world, Nemo is the last natural person in the world, who is facing the arrival of death and the torment of memories.
The director finally used the sixth clue to make the whole story into an infinite loop. At the end, the big mystery is revealed to the audience with the skill of the play within the play. It turns out that these are all the fantasy of the child at the train station. When Nemo finally told the little reporter his guess, I suddenly felt a kind of "tenth". The feeling of the movie "Three Layers" is, to put it bluntly, the feeling of "The Matrix".
Secondly, I have to mention the director's visual application skills.
I probably counted it, and there are nearly 13 details that left a deep impression:
1. Amnesia Angel. It turns out that the angel and the mother-in-law are the same job function. Ha ha. This little bridge makes the later story more reasonable: Little Nemo can predict the future because he retains the memory of heaven. Therefore, the stinky thing of bedwetting will become very reasonable in the child's mind, and it will become a cool and great special function. Children always make excuses for all their mistakes. Maybe so.
2. The raised hairs. The director is too strong, those romance films should really learn how others express the feeling of first love.
3. Butterfly effect. Really reminds me of The Butterfly Effect -_-/
4. That magical leaf. Magical leaves. I was reminded of "Forrest Gump" at this time. -_-/
5. The reversed world of mirrors. I am reminded of "Terror Cruises" -_-/
6, Ana and Nemo facing each other under the blanket. I am reminded of "Eternal Sunshine of a Beautiful Mind" -_-/
7. The sea that was cut. I am reminded of "The Truman World" -_-/
8. The scene where Nemo and his mother move. I found a loophole in the fast-forward footage, that is, Nemo has no backside under the twisting sun.
9. Blurred shots from movie memories. That shot is so beautiful, it feels like a dream. The focal length was narrowed down to the eyes, the background became a circular blur of color, and a lot of these lenses were used. very beautiful.
10. The scene of Nemo being thrown away. The camera is upright, it's so beautiful! ! It's like a beautiful photography exhibition. The appearance of that lens gave me a powerful visual beauty that I can't describe.
11. Synchronization of typewriter and story. This little trick is very creative. It is worth learning and learning.
12. When I entered the hypnotic state, the more I looked at it, the more I looked like "Inception" -_-/
13. What does the shoelace that appeared in the middle mean? Does it matter? Did not understand.
Also, I'm curious how directors like Christopher Nolan and Jacques van Dommel tell multiple storylines in sequence before making a movie? There must be a way, and it should be like braiding a braid: one by one, one by one... After that, look back and see for yourself, ah, what a beautiful braid! Huh, I guess that's how it feels.
In the end, I personally guess that what the story wants to express should be two points:
1. A sense of existence. The movie has been emphasizing the sense of existence from the very beginning. Nemo has always questioned his own existence and has been looking for evidence of his own existence.
2. Select. Like "Trainspotting", it tells a story about choosing a life, you have the right, and your life is a one-way line, you have to choose, and you have to make a choice quickly at the crossroads, even if you don't choose, it's a choice, And this movie tells us that you actually have another choice, which is to imagine your life to the fullest before making a choice. Any choice you make at this time is neither right or wrong, nor true or false, only You need to choose, try, and imagine.
"Everything can be different and have equal significance." - Tennessee Williams
Tennessee Williams, this is an American writer mentioned in the movie, he had a tragic childhood, because of an unidentified schizophrenia, his sister was cut off and
became a vegetative person. This matter gives this American writers left a huge shadow on their childhood psyche. I don’t know if the director got any inspiration from this writer to make such a film full of self-denial. Time can advance in parallel, life can be freely chosen, life can be experienced in various ways, and you can even deny yourself, deny and Your parallel life trajectories.
When you face important forks in your life, don't get nervous and get lost. Getting lost makes people lose their sense of presence. Make a choice, make any choice, your life is with you.
