After thinking about it, it is still four stars/single protagonist Kaufman/The opening performance Psychological dilemma: dissatisfied with the status quo, confused, inferior, suspicious of losing oneself; play view: anti-Hollywood narrative / documentary clip: the retrospective symbol of natural life returns to the original heart, longing for practicality, tranquility and balance Psychological state's escape from the current situation of urban business / Inciting event: Adapting the script / Bringing into the gap: 1. Script 2. Love 3. Brother (other half self), 3 The gap merged: the brother tried to write the script smoothly, and incidentally, the girl went smoothly /Three clues narrative: The beginning is Long Xue stealing flowers, dealing with the police, foreshadowing drugs; Susan's pursuit of Long Xue: empty heart, no love, boring life, Long Xue is her sustenance, ideal appearance / Three people relationship: Long Xue leads his life and knows what he wants; Susan follows and cheats on Long Xue; Kaufman is obsessed with Susan. Follow for what he is obsessed with, but in the end they all break: Long Xue finds Guilan and refines medicine; Susan follows Long Xue and fulfills the inner flaws that he does not have + simple derailment; Kaufman sees the first two realities clearly, and then joins forces with him. The other half fits together, doesn't care what others think of them, returns and focuses on their hearts, Long Xue and Susan did the same.
Kaufman's uncertainty about love's escape script dare not see that susan is all his own disease: too concerned about the outside world, self-destroyed. In the end, when I reunite with my younger brother, my self is perfected, and everything is truly resolved.
The progressive department began to solve the problem, starting from the producer complimenting the younger brother's script and asking for help from the younger brother, embarking on the road of facing and rebuilding the self
1. Find McKee first: solve the script problem, the ending is better, the characters must change themselves by themselves
2. The younger brother takes Kaufman to follow Susan, and the road to integration with his younger brother. The night of chasing and killing finally reunited, Tianming's younger brother died, the climax of the progressive department, the darkest moment
3. The moment of breaking the fantasy with one's own eyes is the moment of self-salvation: seeing Susan cheating on drugs, the younger brother rescues him. Recognizing the ugliness and lack of one's own characters is what drives his script. This is what my brother said: she was lying. It doesn't matter if she lies, the character will lie when she is running away, but the playwright must know what she is lying and what she is running away from. The moment when the fantasy is shattered is also the moment when the script begins to come to fruition.
4. The integration with the younger brother solves the problem of self and love. Love belongs to yourself, but care more about what others think. So I can start writing my own script, and I can say love to the girl I love.
detail:
1. Anti-climax. When the climax of the progressive department is when the brothers are united, Kaufman said thank u. The anti-climax here, Susan and Long Xue suddenly rushed in to break the warmth, continue the tension, and arouse the audience's interest.
2. Its just a flower. What you see is only what your heart is following, whether it is Long Xue or ghost orchid that Susan follows, or Susan that Kaufman is infatuated with. It's all fantasy, it's all my own heart. So in the end there is a process of breaking the illusion
3. Non-realistic writing style: Kaufman was not sad at all after his younger brother's death, but also to explain any sadness process, the post-death process, instead, he wrote and confessed. Because the younger brother is a part of himself. Regarding the death of the younger brother, it is indeed necessary. I understand it from this perspective: spiritual integration - integration with self - self-reconstruction - so the younger brother can die because he has been integrated. At the same time, integration - self-reconstruction, is a phased victory for a person/protagonist, it is his growth, it is a happy thing, so it is not sad.
4. Growth story. Love is always the reward for the growth of the protagonist. So in the end, Kaufman must also get the love of the beloved girl.
The symbolic meaning of the ghost orchid: escape from the fantasy generated by the self.
for susan/kaufman
Susan escaped from the city to follow Long Xue who wandered in the jungle. The novel corresponds to the scene of the documentary about the retrospective of life. As mentioned earlier, it is the escape and escape from the lonely soul of the city's barren life and returning to nature, but it is actually a disrespect to his real life. right. Finally, Susan said, this is just a flower for your mother.
For Kaufman, he himself is escaping, and seeing what the escapist susan does is understood, and his following susan is actually staying in the escapist's self-phantasies. In the end he was disillusioned, ghost orchid is a drug, susan is a woman who escapes and cheats but can't face the truth
This is a story of a screenwriter who finds his own theme for a growth story, recognizes himself, changes himself, and finally grows into a qualified protagonist with his own power of action
Theme: Face your own heart, your own reality
