Still a familiar formation. After burying his head in browsing the good books and new books carefully recommended by the bookstore owner, he looked up and bumped into a large poster of a book called "Shadow Writer", and one of the two advertising slogans was "This novel Too shocking to be true. But if it were true, this book could answer almost every question about contemporary British history." Facing Brosnan's role as Prime Minister Adam Long and Iwan McKay Greg's ghost "I", I nod my head as if I had friends around me.
Coincidentally, on Saturday night, I happened to see Polanski's film of the same name based on the novel. The story is actually not complicated: "I" succeeded Mike, who had just died unexpectedly, as the shadow writer of the autobiography of former British Prime Minister Adam Long. The idea of "I" taking this job is not noble but pure, just for a salary of $250,000 a week. After signing the contract, "I" settled in the unnamed island separated by the current base of Long and Boston Bay. Now, "I" live in a hotel on the island where my private life and career are sharply separated, and I am suddenly provoked in the hotel, and Lang's team is afraid that the repeated demonstrations against Lang will affect "I". Write fairly. "I" moved into the room where Mike lived in Lang's mansion near the sea. The photo in a large envelope glued to the bottom of the drawer in the closet made "me" aware of the secrets in the manuscript left by the ex. Curiosity or work ethic? Just as "I" was trying to get close to the truth, he was held on the bed by the former prime minister's wife Ruth, and then he was chased and killed... Fortunately, there are always lucky people to help when he is in desperate situation, although Lang died. Assassinated, but "me" Lang's autobiography debuted in the most eye-catching conference room of a handsome New York convention center. At this moment, a detail and an enlightening sentence enlightened "I". "I" thought that the one-night stand with Ruth could help him become arrogant, but a note handed to Ruth still cost him his life.
More terrifying than a horror movie, and it's not the fact that "I" died, but the words "I" wrote on paper that killed him: "Ruth is an employee of the CIA" . Hehe, not a slap in the face, but a breath of cold air. Assuming that what the movie says is true, then the answer to why Britain followed Bush Jr. during Blair's presidency suddenly has an answer. Therefore, the politics that can control the world structure originally implied a cardinal, which is enough to horrify us civilians who are eagerly waiting for the rain of democracy and freedom. Fortunately, we are cold-eyed bystanders. One of the viewing values of a movie is that in the dark we can't help but move ourselves to the screen, and then we're going to hurt who I am. Adam Longchamp, the former British Prime Minister, is so involuntary, who are we? !
I love a scene in the movie. "My" studio in Lang's mansion has a wall of huge floor-to-ceiling glass. That night, it was raining heavily outside the window, and inside the window "I" was thinking hard in the dry and warm room. This kind of psychological pleasure caused by the duality of ice and fire is the reason why plays, operas, movies and other arts can attract audiences for a long time. However, those of us who think we are theatergoers are stimulated by "Shadow Writer", can we soberly realize that those of us who are struggling in such a chaotic and even bloody world are the bereaved families who are running fast in the pouring rain dog? Then, who is the audience who hides in a warm room like spring to watch our life?
"Shadow Writer" came out when Polanski was under house arrest in his own mansion in Switzerland for moral lapses. Polanski can always do this, externalizing his predicament into a fear shared by many people.
