I want to end this
I'm Thinking of Ending Things
This is a tragic film that combines brain- burning and suspense.
The screenplay is adapted from the first novel of the same name by Canadian "genius" writer Ian Reed .
Coupled with the director of Academy Award-winning director Charlie Kaufman ("Warm and Light"), it can be described as a gimmick.
This film changed his previous relaxed humorous, indifferent and warm-hearted style.
horror, horror
Challenge the limits of comfort with a divisive, twisted, gothic personal tragedy.
Integrate philosophical discussions of self-belonging, individuals and groups into black fantasy.
The story begins on a depressing, suspicious road trip.
One weekend afternoon, the protagonist Jake (Jesse Plemons) prepares to bring his girlfriend Louisa ( Jesse Buckley) home to meet her parents.
The car was driving on the country road, but the two people in the car were very cautious, not like a couple in love at all.
Jake is a man who is not good at words and has a more reserved personality. He could only try his best to find a topic, chatting on and off.
As for his girlfriend, he also seems to be thinking, and his conversation with Jake is not high.
For a time, the atmosphere was extremely embarrassing, and then there was a long silence.
In the eyes of his girlfriend, Jake is a rare good man.
He is smart, gentle, delicate and considerate.
But she always felt that there was something unspeakable, a deep, unspeakable, irreparable mistake .
She felt like she couldn't stabilize so quickly, or rather, she didn't want to repeat such a boring life.
All the way she's thinking about how she can "end it all" , and after Jack changes course, everything starts to spiral out of control.
The development of the story is also fermenting like a black hole, and the truth and ending are unexpected...
The car has been driving for a long time, and the snow outside is getting heavier and heavier.
It wasn't until it was getting dark that he reached Jake's house. The mother stood by the window upstairs and warmly welcomed the arrival of her girlfriend.
Jake suggested that after a long visit, it's better to go for a walk and see where he lived since he was a child.
Jake's parents run a small farm not far from their home. Although they are not rich, they are also self-sufficient.
In recent years, the parents were not in good health and could not take care of them, so they only raised a few sheep.
I raised a few pigs before, but they all died mysteriously.
At first, the girlfriend didn't take this small matter to heart, but as the story progressed, strange things began to surface one by one.
The mother, who had warmly welcomed them, suddenly disappeared. Jake called out to his parents, but no one at home answered.
The mysterious basement that does not want his girlfriend to approach, the door is covered with large scratches and glued to it ;
Spooky photo wall, and that weird dog ...
What's even more strange is that it took a long time for Jake's parents to finally come down from the upstairs.
Jake was a little unhappy about the impolite behavior of his parents, but fortunately his girlfriend was there, and he didn't say anything.
When it was time for dinner, the four of them sat around the dining table, talking and trying to get closer to each other.
The girlfriend showed them her own painting, which was obviously a good work, but the parents still insisted on nitpicking how there could be no characters in the landscape painting.
He even made a strange joke and said the wrong profession of his girlfriend, and the scene was very embarrassing.
Then, the mother and Jake got into an argument over the name of the game they played as a child .
From the time they entered the door until now, whether it was the first meeting or the awkward conversation at the dinner table, Jake was not very satisfied with his parents' behavior.
He was worried that the strange behavior of his parents would make his girlfriend unacceptable, and he was even more afraid that his girlfriend would break up with him because of it.
In order to ease the atmosphere, the girlfriend went on to talk about her encounter with Jake.
They met at a party, when Jake was playing games with friends.
She fell in love with Jake at first sight and took the initiative to approach him.
After leaving each other's contact details, their relationship gradually warmed up, and they formalized their relationship six weeks ago.
Just chatting like this, this embarrassing dinner finally came to an end.
During this period, my friend called his girlfriend many times, but she chose to hang up.
Jake persuaded her to take it if it was urgent, but she still ignored it.
After dinner, everyone sat in the living room to continue the conversation just now.
At this time, the phone came again .
This time, the girlfriend finally decided to answer the phone, but when she answered the phone, the voice of a strange man came from the phone.
After the strange man "talked nonsense", he hung up the phone.
The girlfriend didn't know what to say, but she didn't tell others, and even still said that it was a call from a friend.
The snow outside the window is getting heavier and heavier, and his girlfriend wants to return as soon as possible so as not to delay her work tomorrow morning.
But just as she turned her head, Jake and his parents all disappeared from the sofa just now.
Stairwell, nobody.
Restaurant, nobody.
Where have they all gone?
She shouted Jake's name loudly in the house, and Jake didn't respond to her until she called Jake's name for the fourth time.
She wanted to go upstairs to find Jake, but there were still no trace of the three of them upstairs.
She came to Jake's childhood room again and looked curiously at the traces of Jake's childhood life in the room.
She picked up a book at the end of the bed and was about to read it, but she didn't expect that the content of the book was the content she talked to Jake on the road.
At this time, a hand suddenly patted her shoulder, and she was taken aback. Turning his head, it turned out to be Jake's father.
But the strange thing is that Jake's father in front of him has grown a lot older.
He was hunched over, with gray hair, and his memory faded early.
He wanted to keep her for the night, and he had to find his wife's previous pajamas for his girlfriend.
The moment he walked out of the door, the light in the dark room opposite suddenly lit up.
It was Jake and his mother in a wheelchair. Jake was feeding his mother, who looked like his father, with gray hair.
It's so weird, it's all so weird.
She couldn't figure it out, how could people age rapidly in a short period of time?
Seeing the strange scenes in front of her, her girlfriend's thoughts of breaking up became stronger.
She was constantly suspicious in this house and found. The truth seems to be getting closer.
And Jake, who saw everything in her eyes, also became anxious and anxious, and he urged his girlfriend to return quickly.
On the way back, Jake asked for ice cream.
They came to the only ice cream shop still open in the blizzard, which Jake frequented.
They were greeted first by two beautiful waitresses who didn't seem to want to serve them.
Then another waitress came out to receive them. She didn't talk much and did her work silently.
The girlfriend only thought that the waiter in front of her seemed to have seen it somewhere, and just when they finished the bill and were about to leave, the waitress reminded her in a low voice.
Jake's parents and the waitress at the remote dessert shop seem to be reminding their girlfriends and reminding her of Jake's abnormality.
Jake also vaguely felt his girlfriend's thoughts in his heart, and was unwilling to send her home.
The girlfriend urged Jake to go back over and over again, but the more he urged Jake, the less he wanted to leave.
The two disagreed and had a big fight in the car.
Jake pulled out the car keys, turned and disappeared into the snow.
After waiting for a long time, her girlfriend still did not see Jake. The temperature in the car was getting lower and lower, and she could no longer stay in the car.
She also left.
She hid in the school not far away, huddled in the corner.
A social worker at the school spotted her, and her girlfriend told him she was looking for someone.
But when she wanted to describe her boyfriend's appearance to the other party, she found that she couldn't remember her boyfriend's appearance.
Not even a word was spoken between them.
The truth finally came out, there was never any girlfriend, it was all fantasy .
The changing names, the reversed sweaters, the different coats and the major she studied.
One moment quantum physics, another moment a painter, another moment a restaurant waiter.
Even the location of their meeting has changed... these are enough to prove that "girlfriend" does not exist.
Their past was fictionalized and divided by the gray-haired school social worker Jake .
And all along, it was Jake who wanted to end it all.
So, in the end, he chose to say goodbye to his "girlfriend" at school.
Then end it all.
The subject of schizophrenia is not uncommon, but Ian Reid's "I Want to End It All" is very novel and unique.
Obscure, suffocating, mourning to the extreme!
This is a psychological suspense thriller drawn by a split personality with an unexpected ending.
Abandoning the usual human logic, especially a lot of foreshadowing and rendering in the early stage .
Although it makes people feel a little long-winded and boring, this is the author's intention.
The first is to give the audience room to imagine and mislead your judgment, so that everyone thinks this is a curious thriller.
Abandoned farms, tragically dead pigs, eerie atmosphere and constant terrifying phone calls...
Then keep switching between characters, who is the focus? Jake? or girlfriend?
However, just when you speculate on the development of the plot, the truth suddenly emerges.
The story of Jake and his girlfriend turned out to be just a fantasy in the mind of an old nerd .
In the film, the jumping and interspersed, illogical plot (time) line is the psychological confirmation of Jake.
Everything that exists, everything that happens, is all imaginary.
When Jake was young, he met his goddess at a party and he soon fell in love.
But he is a withdrawn person, longing for love but afraid to touch.
Frustrated love, isolation in the workplace, increasing age and the death of parents.
Fate nibbled at his unwilling and fragile nerves.
In the end, Jake can only hide in the imaginary world he imagined himself, recalling and making up for it.
Live a different life, a life diametrically opposed to reality.
It is a pity that the illusion is always an illusion, just like the pig that rots and dies, it will eventually perish.
