Friends who like to watch movies, you must still remember the amazing French short film "The Tuner" in 2010!
The short film is only 14 minutes long, but it tells a suspenseful and creative thriller.
The protagonist, Adrian, was a talented pianist with a promising future, but he suffered a defeat in a key piano competition and has since fallen into disrepair.
By chance, he discovered that pretending to be a blind tuner is a good way to make money, because many people think that blind people have sharper hearing and are full of sympathy for him, which has given Adrian a lot of job opportunities. Not only did I make money, but I was also able to spy on the privacy of customers' lives, and I was really happy.
However, just as he was complacent about his cleverness, an unexpected thing happened.
One day, Adrian was invited to a house to tune the piano. When he entered the house, he found a man dead in the house, and the ground was covered in blood. Apparently, a murder just happened here!
Adrian was very panicked, but he kept his composure and continued to pretend to be blind. He sat in front of the piano and tried to tune it, but in the reflection of the mirror he saw that the murderer was holding a gun (what gun) towards the back of his head Spoon, Adrian was nervous and didn't know what to say. In a hurry, he began to play, and the beautiful notes flowed from the keyboard like water. The murderer still held the gun motionless...
The story came to an abrupt end, leaving the audience with endless reverie and a series of question marks. Did Adrian escape? How to escape? What the hell happened in the house? What is the relationship between the murderer and the victim?
Now it's all answered! Because the Indians remade "The Tuner" into a feature film to complete the whole story.
This Indian film is called "The Tuner", but I prefer the previous translation of "Invisible Melody", which directly points out the dual identity of the protagonist pretending to be blind and a pianist.
The story is almost the same as the original at the beginning, only with some adjustments in the way of narration and the details of the plot.
Pianist Akash, who pretends to be blind, plays and teaches piano lessons everywhere, intends to earn enough money to study in London.
At the same time, the film also describes the basic situation of the family where the case occurred. The male host, Pramod, is relatively old, a former movie star, and very rich. The hostess, Simi, is young and beautiful, and is his second wife. The two have been married for three years.
This kind of start seems to be bland, but it has laid a lot of foreshadowing, you must look carefully!
One day, Akash was playing in a restaurant, and Pramod was also dining there. Pramod was impressed by Akash's performance, especially when Akash deliberately complimented Pramod's voice. Much like a former star, he was even more delighted.
Within a few days, Pramod invited Akash to play at his home to celebrate his wedding anniversary with Simi, and Akash was delighted to be invited.
The next scene is exactly the same as in the original "The Tuner". Akash went as promised, but Simi was unwilling to entertain him, saying that Pramod was not at home, Akash insisted on entering the door to play, and said that the general It doesn't matter whether Ramaud is at home or not.
Such a quarrel disturbed the grandma next door. She opened the door and looked around. In order to avoid trouble, Simi had to welcome Akash into the door.
This was the first moment I admired for this remake. Not only did I restore the original details, but I also made full use of it, because this old grandmother then became a key figure in the direction of the case.
After entering the house, Akash discovered the murder, and Pramod fell in a pool of blood. It was inevitable that he was flustered, but he was as witty as he still calmly responded, but Simi was also very smart, and made Pramo smartly. The illusion of Germany returning home halfway, and then going out again.
This plot is very ingeniously designed. Simi borrowed the foreshadowing buried in the seemingly bland beginning of the film to create the illusion. If Akash is really blind, he will hide it.
It's a pity that Akash is a fake blind person. After he "cooperated" with Simi to complete the creation of the illusion in panic, he returned home in a state of confusion.
In this way, the story in "The Tuner" is actually finished, but the Indians really have enough brains, and then continued a large episode.
A few days later, Pramod's body was found, the police immediately opened an investigation, and the hapless Akash was called as a witness.
When he was recording the confession, he wanted to tell the truth very much, but then his secret of pretending to be a blind man would be exposed. At that time, he would not be able to make any money from the collapse of the persona, so he could only make one mistake and think about Simi. Let him "hear" the false statement.
At this point, the story has entered a very delicate situation, because Akash actually became Simi's accomplice in disguise and made a false confession for her.
Isn't this design awesome! ?
And just when Akash and Simi thought the matter was over, the old grandmother next door came out to correct Simi's testimony, because she was always concerned about the next door's movements because of the gossip, and she remembered that Pramod was clearly there. Before Akash arrived, he had already gone home!
Isn't this foreshadowing very clever! ?
I won't reveal the plot after that. It's basically unexpected but reasonable, and the story is flipped over and over again in this natural and smooth state. It's really amazing and beautiful.
Among them, two are outstanding.
One is that Simi suspects Akash is falsely blind, so he plans to give him a try. Look at the picture below, isn't this trick awesome? It really startled me! If it were me, I would definitely break the power on the spot!
The other is that Akash was in a predicament and pretended to be a great god in a hurry. This trick is not only wonderful, but also very grounded. It makes full use of the national conditions of all people in India who believe in religion. India really often makes news that someone is arrested for some reason. Humans are reincarnated as gods.
In addition, the plot is constantly flipping, and it gradually exudes an Indian-style black humor, which is very funny.
The policeman's wife accused the policeman of eating 16 eggs a day to please his mistress
India's first beauty, Aishwarya, appeared in an alternative way, and there is also a very interesting stalk here.
In the final ending, the filming is rather obscure. Has Akash's vision recovered or not? Continuing the style of the original "Tuner", it leaves a suspense so that you can continue to imagine.
It can be said that this Indian remake is very successful. It has given full play to all the clues and highlights left in the original short drama, and used a logical and non-trivial plot to continue the entire story and create a unique charm that belongs to Indian movies. , the only fly in the ointment is that the story behind is a little cumbersome and can be simplified.
