Darkness, rain, BMW without its owner, corpses on the coast. . The atmosphere at the beginning of the film permeates with the background music, as well as the sound of rain, car alarms, waves lapping at the shore and bodies on the shore. .
As soon as the protagonist came up, he explained his most important trait "You know I don't know anything about politics", just like Adam Bryant, who studied acting in Cambridge. Lang. . However, they probably all had a deeper understanding of politics than anyone else. .
The protagonist also seems to be casual but pointed out Adam Lang's characteristics "he is not a politician" and "he is a trendy character".
Of course, the appreciation of the lines does not stop there. Most of the lines in the film are in place, useful, some suggestive, and have a dark humorous meaning, which actively and effectively promote the development of the plot. This is something that cannot be ignored in this film. A highlight. . With the publisher's phrase "waiting for bad luck", our protagonist's ghost journey officially begins. .
Then the protagonist came to an American island far away from the United Kingdom and started his work. The main characters all appeared, and the plot began to unfold. Everything is preparing for the protagonist's revealing journey: the International Court of Justice accuses the protagonist that the media attention forced the protagonist to live in the room where the former writer Michaela lived, and then discovered some information or instructions found by the former writer Michaela , these instructions guide the protagonist step by step to the answer, but also to death. .
When the protagonist shared bed with Lang's wife overnight, he had to leave again, and he was driving the BMW prepared for the guests, that is, the BMW in the opening sequence, the BMW that Michaela drove before his death. . The GPS on the car made a second instruction to the protagonist, further pointing to the mystery, and death. .
However, when the protagonist thinks that he has slowly found the truth, he is one step away from the truth. It wasn't until Lang's new book launch, when he saw Lang's wife and Emmett talking intimately together, that he completely discovered the secret, and finally died.
What amazes me is the persistence and "rashness" of the protagonist, out of curiosity about the truth, regardless of personal safety. Of course, if there is no such persistence and "daring", there will be no next story, and this kind of perseverance and daring is also in contrast to the previous hesitation about whether to take over the job of ghostwriting for Lang. The protagonist initially accepts the job only because of the decent pay, but later curiosity about the truth has nothing to do with money anymore. . curiosity kills the cat. . There is also Lang's simplicity, he is really not suitable for politics, he is just a trendy and beautiful puppet doll manipulated by others. . "I do what I think is right," Lang said, unaware of the profound influence his wife had on him, and his independence of thought was lost. .
What makes me terrified is that people's independence and non-independence and the influence of people and the environment around them can be so far-reaching. Lang was influenced by others to enter the political world, and was even secretly influenced or even deliberately manipulated by others. . There are also small individuals who are forced to be helpless and weak in the political tide. . The protagonist finally discovered the secret, but was immediately silenced, letting the secret be blown away in the wind. .
What I have to say is the atmosphere and temperament of the film. The film naturally creates its suspenseful temperament through various methods, various elements and details. . Cloudy sky, rain, island, dim lights, mysterious maid and driver. . . There is also black humor from time to time in the film. .
There is also Polanski's clever plot setting, attention to detail, and suggestive storytelling techniques: suggestive details with TV, newspapers, logos on airplanes, and a small American island far from the UK. This suggestive scene and a lot of suggestive lines and other suggestive tools spread the plot and introduce the characters.
An excellent movie.
