A movie about dreams. At first glance, many plots are indeed obscure, because what is said in the film: "In the daytime, close your eyes, you are in a dream", the whole film is full of dreamy surreal colors, and it develops to the extreme. It is absurd, so with the perspective of the dream, many plots seem to be logical. The protagonist Funk wanders between dreams and reality, which is a challenge to his creative ability due to the sudden ascendancy and opportunity. But because of his predicament that he didn't understand the creative process of Hollywood genre films, he could only rely on dreams or fantasies to explain everything in his mind and turn it into reality. There are many metaphors in the film. Charlie who lives next door (as an orphan) and the dreamy woman Audrey (as a woman) are both the characters and inspirations of Funk's writings, and even to some extent, they are split out of Funk's fantasy. different personalities. Among them are the common people (Charlie) that he has always called compassionate and the charming "whore" woman (Audrey) that he often imagines when he is alone. They all really live in the world in Funk's mind. Of course, their existence in the real world gave Funk the impetus to lust. In the final analysis, the loneliness and the exhaustion of thought make Funk go into a daze. The strange scene arrangement and the dark layout make the whole film look very depressing and dark, which is also related to the "hell-like world" that the director wants to create. echoed. As an audience, it is the happiest thing to keep picking up the "candy" left by the director. As a creative member, I also have a deep understanding that it is difficult for us to stop when our thinking is exhausted, when reality is blocked, and when dreams beckon. , Just like Funk, we also walked into this dream together. Every time I blame myself for losing my talents, I will seek refuge in reality, such as the "wine" and "female sex" repeatedly mentioned in the film. But a very realistic and normal thing, creation still needs to be carried out, and cannot be far from the original intention, so Fink, who is both out of reality and far away from the original intention, had to build a story of "wrestling with the soul" in his mind, although he was met by the boss reprimanded, but Fink's soul was relieved because he won the game.
