I read the book 3 years ago, and I probably remember the plot. If there is a mistake in the details, please reply and correct me.

Speaking of Bruce's inevitable long list of attributive adjectives: sex addicts, homophobia, racists, drug and alcohol abuse, transvestite, schizophrenia...there is no lower limit to depravity. These image films are basically presented one by one. There is a Doctor Rossi in the movie, holding a huge medicine bottle and speaking with an Australian accent "Yes~~~Bruce~~~Yes~~~". He is actually the director who combined the Doctor Rossi in the book with a key creature in the book: parasites. As one, transformed into the image of the gods and gods.

In the book, Bruce went to see Doctor Rossi and found that a parasite had grown in his stomach. He took the medicine but did not kill the worm. The parasite's vitality is tenacious. He calls Bruce his master, often talking to himself, trying to attract the attention of his owner, and try to talk. Sometimes Bruce was talking to people, and the parasites talked to themselves. The author uses parasites to express Bruce's true inner thoughts.

From the words of the parasite, we learned that Bruce had a younger brother who was a few years younger when he was a child. For some reason, no matter how hard Bruce tries to please him, family members and outsiders prefer his younger brother. Once young Bruce took his brother to the mine to pick up coal and take it home. The two were frolicking on the pile of coal cinder. His brother accidentally fell. Bruce tried to run over and pull him, but the running caused the broken coal to collapse. The younger brother sank deeper and deeper, and died when the rescuers arrived to rescue him. After hearing the news, my father was full of grief and anger, and finally yelled at Bruce a secret that everyone knew but Bruce didn't know: It turned out that Bruce was not his own! Bruce's mother was pregnant by a mentally ill man a few years ago. At that time, she already had a fiance and was about to get married. Religious beliefs. Pregnancy is God’s will. The priest does not advocate abortion, so Bruce was still born... Since then, Bruce was taken to her grandmother’s house and was raised by her grandmother. His mother only occasionally brought a new-born baby. My sister went to see him.

Bruce had his first love in middle school. The sister was very beautiful but had a disability in one leg. Despite this, Bruce felt that he was very happy. There was someone who loved him so much, and many boys of the same age cast envious eyes. However, the tragedy repeats itself again, and an accident takes the young life of sister paper. Bruce had nothing again.

Bruce grew up and became a policeman. He was sent to Australia on business for a few years. During that time, he was under great pressure. He encountered a poor undercover after being executed by a criminal on a mission. The undercover was tortured and was dying. Bruce helped. He ended his life.

The women in the book who have an affair with Bruce are not only the ones in the movie. Bruce is always unable to get satisfaction, or even coaxes or spends money on transactions, or goes to Amsterdam to have fun, even with his wife’s relatives and sisters. Have a leg. (The one who 3P with his brother in the movie) Bruce's physical addiction and mental distortion are inherited from his biological father, who is the aforementioned strong X criminal, and is also the "Beast" in Bruce's words in the movie.

In the movie, Bruce threatens a half-naked man to throw him into jail and send him to the infamous "Beast" if he is not obedient. In the book, Bruce mentions that Beast is also an entire image of a brutal, inhumane demon. But turning to the second half of the book, Bruce finally came to the prison to find Beast in person, wanting to ask him why he caused so much pain in his life. Bruce used his position to turn over Beast's photos and files after he became a police officer, but when he finally stood in front of Beast, the huge gap in his image made him unable to recognize him. Today, Beast is just an old and weak one. Old man, delirious. Bruce couldn't believe that his mother was insulted by such a person... In the end, Bruce beat him up and left.

Another big change the movie made to the book is the murder of a Japanese student. In the movie, a few gangsters ran into an overseas student and beat them to death. All this was bumped into by Bruce, who was just passing by and pretending to be his wife, and fled knowing that there were witnesses.

The victim in the book is the son of an ambassador of a certain country of African descent, so the head of the police department still attaches great importance to this murder and became a task force led by Bruce. If the case is resolved successfully, Bruce will definitely be promoted. Surprisingly, our Bruce did not choose to bury his head in the case. Throughout the story, I'm stumping my opponents for promotion, seducing other people's wives, slandering colleagues' reputations, playing tricks and applauding.

It was not until the end of the chapter that the mystery was finally revealed: it turns out that the murderer is not someone else, but the protagonist Bruce himself! Of course he will not investigate the case carefully! On the night of the crime, Bruce once again pretended to be his wife. The large high heels on his feet were made-to-order, and the blond wig on his head was bought in the name of his wife (he told the clerk that his wife had smoked too much. , Hair bald) Bruce was drunk and walked crookedly in the alley, in a trance that he mistaken the victim for his wife's new black boyfriend. He grabbed the person to question, and the victim saw him talking nonsense and scuffled with him. Bruce finally used a self-defense hammer to kill the victim...

Here the director changed the black to Japanese, and it was obvious that Bruce's racism was weakened for the box office. In any case, there are more African Americans living in the UK than Japanese. However, attentive audiences can still find some clues, such as: Bruce played a little yellow pian at home, and the blacks lost their interest as soon as they went on the court...

Personally, the purpose of turning Bruce from a murderer into a bystander is to prevent the audience’s disgust from adding to the disgust. . Because the director has abandoned Bruce's growth experience, the compassion value of Bruce is reduced. If the audience finds out that he is the murderer, then Bruce is really useless. In the end, Bruce was taken away by the gangsters, intending to silence his mouth, and turned from the perpetrator to the victim gorgeously.

The end of the film is an open ending. Did Bruce commit suicide? Did Mary push the door to save him? What is the meaning of the cartoon pig at the end? It's all up to the audience to feel it.

Mary is one of the few women who have no physical relationship with Bruce. In the book, Mary's husband suffered a heart attack and fell on the street. Bruce rushed to the rescue to no avail. Mary was distraught. Bruce was reminded of the accidental death of his brother by the tragedy in front of him. The two held each other for a long time, seeking comfort from each other.

After being rescued from the abandoned warehouse, Bruce suffered a lot of injuries and wandered around the supermarket wearing a neck protector. He did not meet his wife, daughter or new boyfriend. At this time, there are parasites in his mind, and he can't distinguish between hallucinations and reality. There are a lot of them in the shopping cart. Mary, who was taking her son to the supermarket, recognized him, and the mother and son chatted with Bruce. Mary’s son’s favorite player, Sogla, happened to be Bruce’s next door neighbor, and Bruce promised Mary to help his son get some free tickets. Later, the ticket was not redeemed, and Mary left a message on Bruce's answering machine several times to ask about the ticket. But at this time, Bruce's state was completely out of control, and there was no time to bother at all. Mary certainly didn't go to Bruce at the end, they only exchanged phone calls, and there was actually someone else who was about to push the door in.

In the movie, Bruce was born without love, and with the confession before his death, he sent a video tape to Bladesey, his only friend of his life. He pointed out the weakness of his friend in the videotape, encouraging him to increase his self-confidence, and apologized from the bottom of his heart for all sorts of provocations in the past, which made the Bladesey couple finally relieved their suspicion.

The Irvine book is even darker, without the video tape, Bruce was never ashamed of his actions. The last time Bladesey played was in prison, Bruce went to see him, pretended to be justice, and punched Bladesey "Unexpectedly you are a scum". Poor Bladesey had no way to defend, only to be beaten. When Bruce stepped out of the prison gate, the guards who knew him well understood and assured Bruce that he wouldn't let Bladesey live in prison.

Bruce was mentally broken and chose to commit suicide with a hatred of his ex-wife. He only wanted to avenge her. The ex-wife and daughter now live with her mother. Bruce went in when there was no one in the house and put on a T-shirt prepared in advance, with a few big words "You caused this result" on it. He tied the knot and kicked the chair away. Just as he was dying, his daughter's laughter came from a distance! My daughter will be home soon! Bruce wants to break free, her daughter shouldn't endure all this! But it was no longer possible, he was exhausted. Bruce's last wish is not to become herself when her daughter grows up, she must be a different person. The owner is dead, and the parasites that depend on the owner's body have no nutrients, and gradually disappear...

The reason why the ex-wife Carol chose to leave Bruce is never mentioned in the book or in the movie. The poster thinks that the most likely reason is that Bruce’s mental problems have been exposed in the previous years. People who are sick may not feel it, but it is normal. People must find it unacceptable, and leaving with their daughter is also a protection for the child. After the divorce, Bruce developed a split personality and turned into Carol to wander at night. Another possibility is that Bruce was found infidelity to his wife, but the possibility of divorce is relatively small. In the book and in the movie, Carol mentioned that the two of them had gone to a sex club together. This kind of membership system The club must be joined by both parties. Bruce wanted to go and was rejected after his divorce. That is to say, Carol is not particularly concerned about the derailment of the body, and Bruce has only used and lied to other women from beginning to end, and he only loves Carol.

The main differences between the film and the original work have already been said in the previous section. The following plots have no effect on the main line of the story, and it is reasonable to delete them.

Do you remember Bruce's boss, Toal, who has the soul of a screenwriter? Bruce found out that he was secretly writing scripts during working hours, so Bruce pretended to work overtime one night, sneaked into the boss's office, found the script and took it home. Bruce would take it out and read it in his spare time. The script mainly tells a story that happened in a police station. The protagonist is naturally the director of a certain department. They are investigating a murder case. The other supporting actors are almost a replica of reality. There is Amenda. La, Bruce...but none of the characters use their real names. Before Bruce turned to his own part of the ending, he couldn't read it. In the script, the protagonist and Amenda developed a relationship outside of marriage. Bruce was disgusted. He didn't know whether this was pure fantasy or had already been put into action. Now, just burn the script.

After Bruce was rescued, he was demoted to recuperate at home, and Toal visited him. Toal asked him to take a good rest, saying that he was not the first police officer to have mental problems due to unbearable work pressure. In fact, the truth had come to light at this time, and Toal knew why Bruce was sabotaged and knew that Bruce was the real murderer. But he doesn't intend to pursue it anymore. After all, he still has to help himself, and the case can be pushed to the bastard who had his tongue bitten out and died. He also hinted that in fact, his colleagues had known that Bruce's wife ran away with black people a long time ago, because there were few black people in the area where they lived, so this kind of thing had long been spread. After Toal left, Bruce admitted that the boss was actually very nice.

In addition, there is a small detail. The film has a German investor, so Bruce took Bladesey to Hamburg, Germany for a long holiday before Christmas. In the book, they went to the red light district of Amsterdam.

There are two longer cuts in the DVD highlights, one of which is a prostitute going to the suburbs to shoot a small porn. Bruce did this to plant Bladesey. It's a pity that the dog will not be obedient, but will only pounce on him, leading to the failure to take the picture. Later, Bruce found two rolls of yellow tape and told Bladesey's wife that it was placed in his home by Bladesey, and he didn't expect him to be so perverted.

Bruce in the book is probably a middle-aged man in his 40s, brown eyes, 1.70 meters and not tall. There is no mention of the length of the beard and growth. One daughter is a teenager. After the ex-wife left, life was in chaos and the family was in a mess. Later, when colleagues visited him at his home, they couldn't hide his nausea. I don't change clothes for a long time, especially my pants are always the same. After parasites grew in my stomach, I always felt hungry, so I kept eating.
