I didn't catch up with the domestic release of this movie, and it took me a year to sit down and watch it carefully. When I first opened this movie, I always held the "Learning from the Past" that I had seen "Gone Lover" in my heart ", the male character who betrayed marriage and love, first became the villain in the eyes of the audience, but may still usher in a reversal in the end, just like "Gone Lover", and finally exposed the truth behind the scenes and became a wonderful anti-hero. Turn.
On the other hand, "The Invisible Guest" gave several possible stories at the beginning. When the first story was told in the form of a movie, I instantly forgot that this was just a male pig's foot in the face of defense Fang's one-sided words, coupled with the far-reaching influence of "Gone Lover", really thought that the main point of the suspense in the movie was the trick of murder in the secret room and the reversal of the murderer's choice. What I didn't expect was that it was indeed a reversal. , but not the trick I imagined.
This is probably the charm of the language of the film. The sequence of narration and the skills of the actors are all integrated into the story, amplifying the power of language. This film is no longer a physical trick of the "real" world, but constructed with the sophistry of language. A different virtual world.
The attraction of suspense-type movies is mostly focused on the details. Every seemingly inadvertent cutscene may become the key to the story. If the audience sees the same clues as the decipherers, then the moment when the mystery is revealed will be extraordinarily amazing. However, many detective movies are self-contained, and the monologue of a detective at the end cannot bring the audience into it after all.
"The Invisible Guest" opens with a late-night meeting between the defender and the plaintiff. One after another lies about the truth of the incident are displayed in front of the audience one by one, bringing the audience into the process of finding the truth. Like Van Dyne's law of speculative fiction, the author and the Reader, screenwriter and audience, it is a competition after all, and every question of the defender also penetrates the screen - what do you believe? Did you see the truth?
The highlight of the film "The Invisible Guest" is the interaction between the defender and the accused expressed by the director. Every detail is meticulously rehearsed. Pushing questions and changing emotions all push the film to a new climax, deducing a capricious film world with limited characters. The film itself is also a lie.
Every lie requires more lies to justify. At the end of the movie, the actor's original lawyer found the witness at the scene and successfully bribed him, but it was too late. The faces on both ends of the phone were interspersed, and the actor was originally innocent. The mask was smashed, is it a competition of acting skills or a wrestling of lies? In any case, the movie has ushered in the moment when the truth is revealed.
