After watching the old enemy, I feel very contradictory, but it is still a good movie!

After reading the analysis of the heroes, in fact, I think the general story is the same as that of most heroes, the dual personality, the dual personality of dull duty and overflowing desire. Doubt a lot. I feel that the screenwriter is just messing with the audience and making the imaginary so real that some places are unreasonable.
1. Helen checked Anthony's incoming call records. If Anthony imagined it himself, the call record should not exist, nor should it be an unknown call, and there should be no call at all.
2. I believe that most people think that Anthony's life is the main character, and what happened to Adam and his girlfriend is imaginary or his former self. However, the story is that Adam discovered the existence of the main character while watching a movie. Personally, I think that under normal circumstances, it is the main character who discovers his imaginary character, not the imaginary character who discovers the main character.
3. Mary finds out that the plot after the ring mark is also unreasonable. She shouldn't have gotten back into Anthony's car since she'd asked who you were. And since she asked who you are, it means she doesn't even know that Adam is married. It's a no-brainer that Anthony isn't Adam.
4. In the movie, when the protagonist gave a lecture for the first time, he mentioned the history repeating mode. From the beginning of the table show in the club to the end of taking the key and planning to go back to the club, it is considered a repeating mode. It makes people feel that Adam is the main character, and proves Adam's existence by using other people twice - his mother said that he has a noble profession, and Helen went to school to see him. But Anthony's ring and marriage want to show that Anthony is the protagonist who is likely to have dual personalities.
There are still many problems, too lazy to write.
Overall, I feel that this movie is to mix reality with fantasy, and add a lot of real elements to the fantasy, so that the audience can't tell the difference between reality and fantasy. However, the metaphor of the spider is very good, throughout the whole play, through the repressed environment, color and music to show the real depression of the protagonist and the inexplicable excitement and desire to see the spider.

Enemy quotes

  • Anthony: Control, it's all about control. Every dictatorship has one obsession and that's it. In ancient Rome they gave the people bread and circuses. They kept population busy with entertainment but other dictatorships used other strategies to control ideas, the knowledge... how do they do that? Lower education, they limit culture, censor information, they censor any means of individual expression and is important to remember this, that this is a pattern, that repeats itself through out history.

  • Teacher at School: Where There's a Will There's a Way.

    Anthony: It's true.

    Teacher at School: No, it's a movie, I saw it a little while ago but um... I remember it was... I liked it.

    Anthony: Hmm. Where There's a Will There's a Way.

    Teacher at School: Yeah, that's it. Local film, if you...

    Anthony: I'll keep it in mind.
