False psychology, true NOIR

I have read several special reports and leading reviews about "Psychedelic" before. Regarding this work that Danny Boyle was busy shooting during the planning of the opening ceremony of the London Olympics, most of the articles used "complex, indistinguishable from reality and fiction." "This kind of vocabulary is used to describe the depth of his involvement in psychology. The script is still written by John Hodge, who is a physician and has nothing to do, who likes to write scripts for Boyle. It seems to deepen the "Trance" based on psychological analysis "The high end of ", it seems that another "Shard of Memory" has arrived. However, after watching the movie now, I privately believe that the so-called psychological scrutiny in "Trance" is just a gimmick, and it is still a black thriller in the end, NOIR tastes heavier, but this is not denying the value of "Trance" , It still does what a good movie should do.
After wandering around in biographical miracles and positive energy, Boyle finally returned to the early black theme of the British rock scene. "Trance" is like the adult version of "Shallow Grave," which is still a tangled triangle of emotions between men and women. It's still about the human nature of greed, but "Trance" doesn't have the frivolousness of "Shallow Grave". It finishes the story steadily, very confident, and indeed has reason to be confident. At the beginning of the movie, McAvoy’s very mischievous monologue created a strong sense of joy, and at the same time led to the key line of Vincent Cassau. Although the stolen section is nothing new at all, but the gentleman sees it. It's the aura, and a show like Caso is enough to stop there. As the story progresses unhurriedly, the "femme beauty" that must exist in film noir has officially appeared. Rosario Dawson, who played a bunch of tough girls in Pi Zi Kun's film, appeared as a psychologist Wen Jing. , I don’t know the undercurrents buried deep in it. Boyle did not use alternate and rhythmic interspersion between the illusion and reality brought about by psychotherapy. Instead, he used a large number of segments to perform in turns. This approach makes it easy for the audience to forget about the reality and the reality. Judging, immersing in the paragraph, when the next long paragraph, real or imaginary, appears, the impact caused by the gap and the narrative break makes it recall the scrutiny of the previous plot, so it has become the joy of watching movies In addition, Boyle also worked hard on the details, like Dawson’s description of his ex-boyfriend in the beginning of the conversation with McAvoy and the lack of body hair in the middle of Dawson’s genitals all echoed the key points in the end. The clue, "Trance", as a movie of the nature of a ticket, provides an amazing amount of information.
After all, it is FILM NOIR with a psychological coat, so the description of psychotherapy in "Trance" is slightly exaggerated and symbolic, but this is also to reflect the black tone of the decadent beauty of the whole film, from the thousand mirrors of "Miss Shanghai" In the neon dark scene of "Desperate Driving", the combination of NOIR and psychoanalysis was more successful. In addition to winning in style, it also created a far-fetched but abundant elite atmosphere. Boyle’s filming shots are so cheesy. Now that he is returning to the movie with all his heart, he doesn’t have to say anything more. He just hopes that there will be no more movies like "Slumdog Millionaire", which seems too deliberate. Authorized.

    Simon: [auctioneer is barking prices] There is a painting, it's by Rembrandt. 'Storm On The Sea Of Galilee', it's called, and he's in it. Old Rembrandt, he's in the painting. He's in there, right in the middle of the storm, looking straight at you. But... you can't see him. And the reason you can't see him is because the painting has been stolen.

  • Elizabeth: We keep secrets from lots of people, but most of all we keep them from ourselves. And we call that forgetting.
