Nolan is very popular in China recently, because of the three consecutive films scheduled, Interstellar, Inception, and the upcoming Creed. These two days have completed two of Nolan's early films, "Insomnia" last night and "Following" tonight. There is nothing to say about insomnia. It is a remake of a Norwegian movie, that is, the script routine is ok, and I invited Al Pacino and Hillary Swank to star in the two leading actors, so basically Nolan is in this film. As a puppet, it's OK to play normally. After all, we also saw the big-name George Clooney as a producer in the title. In fact, film is a kind of art with strong characteristics, and we can often see their inherent style in the works of some masters. So the masters we see generally do everything by themselves, from screenwriters to directors to producers to editing. So strictly speaking, insomnia should be excluded from the list of Nolan's works. Follow is Nolan's debut work. It is said that it only cost 6,000 knives. It was sponsored by a group of amateur actors. Therefore, this film is the famous deadly magic memory fragment and the Batman III that we will see later. Part of the young child's work. The protagonist, Bill, is a down-and-out writer who doesn't communicate with people all day. He is mentally ill and has a hobby to follow random strangers and peep at their lives. His explanation for this behavior is to observe their lives, as writing material, and also to set the rules for trailing. There are two views on the theme of the film. One is that Cobb is real. He designed a whole series of conspiracies to get Bill hooked. The ultimate goal is to silence the heroine and frame it on Bill. And I prefer Cobb to be Bill's other personality, after all, we've all seen Fight Club, right? The dual personality is easier to explain that the police officer said that there is no case of the old woman being tortured and killed, and the torture is only because Bill heard the heroine say that the gang boss killed a person in front of her, and he also used a sheep's head hammer. Bill took this cue to imagine such a case, set the murder weapon to be the same, and imagined his other personality, Cobb, as the assistant of the gang boss, and finally got rid of the heroine just because Cobb's personality got deeper and deeper into the play. And isn't the scene where the director makes Cobb disappear from the crowd just a hint? What Nolan is best at is duel, and his depiction of the villain or the opposite is more profound. Obvious examples are "The Dark Knight" and "Deadly Magic". From this Virgo, you can see the prototype. Strangely enough, when I watched this film, I was thinking of "Taxi Driver", isn't it a bit similar?
