In any case, it is necessary to talk about the issue of translation before expressing opinions, so as not to let the film suffer from too many misunderstandings by Chinese audiences. Here is an excerpt from an online post, and you will understand after reading it:

—— —————————————————————————————

Original post:

The translation of fish without water is terrible, and it is estimated that the final place cannot be seen by his translation. Understood, I turned to an explanation!

After reading many movie reviews and messages, I found that many friends are very puzzled about some issues, and many people have questioned that many of the plots at the end are unreasonable, and they did not understand it. What's the matter, how did the police shoot, what did the heroine Sidney say? Did she trick the police into shooting the woman and the police saw through him that he was lying and shot the real killer Cliff? ?It is difficult to give a reasonable explanation for the many questions. In fact, all of this is caused by serious errors in the translation of Chinese subtitles (the translation of the dialogue on the plane at the end was all wrong)! I was actually watching the dialogue of the Chinese subtitle translation. , When I watched the plot, I didn't understand a lot, but after listening to the dialogue between the heroine and the police, I could understand what happened at the end of the movie. The following explanation may be able to To unravel the confusion in some people's hearts and help everyone truly understand the film.

First of all, all this has to start from the moment the heroine Sidney stopped the helicopter, otherwise it is difficult to tell. At that time, the hero Cliff continued to chase Gina and told Sidney to go to the other side I believe that everyone should understand this. However, Sidney has begun to hesitate and struggle at this time, because she is not a real cold-blooded killer, but she loves Cliff very much, a crazy serial bad killer, so she She is willing to accompany him to run around, do anything, and kill with him. But at this time, she has regretted it and doesn't want to see anyone die. And Gina also talked to her about a lot of life when she was in the tent. , she couldn't bear to see Gina die at the hands of this lunatic, so she might have wanted to stop it, and when she saw the police plane coming, she made up her mind to tell the police that someone had a gun there and was trying to kill, so she brought the police Let's go find them together (but I guess she didn't fully tell the truth on the plane at this time, she didn't say that the two of them were serial killers, she just told the police that someone was killing people there and hoped the police would stop them)!

Then came to the main topic, and they flew to the final scene together. However, the scene in the mountain below was a bit unexpected by Sidney. Nick, who should have been dead by then, showed up with a gun at him. Cliff, Sidney was stunned and didn't understand what was going on. The policeman with the gun thought Nick was the killer she said, so he asked Sidney (note here, what the police asked him was very important, translation Totally wrong): "It's the guy standing with the gun right? He's the guy you said we're looking for, right? Am I going to shoot?"...but then Sidney suddenly He didn't know how to answer, because he saw Nick with the gun and Gina didn't show up, and didn't understand what was going on. She might have gotten a bit of a fluke in her heart again, thinking it was the police who killed Nick. , then maybe everything is dead without evidence, he can also tell the police that Nick is the killer, and he and Cliff are the victims! So she didn't make a sound, and the police chief behind saw that the situation below was very dangerous, and ordered the sniper Hand: "Shoot him (he was referring to Nick with the gun)", Sidney didn't deny it just nodded slightly (a fluke). Just before pulling the trigger, Ji Na appeared, hugged Nick and said, "Don't kill him, don't leave me." Nick must have been ready to shoot under the repeated provocations of Cliff. He also ran to kill Cliff. Nope, but he gave up revenge for Gina! At this point, Sidney on the plane was completely hopeless! Seeing that other men can put down their guns for his girlfriend, and then think about herself and Cliff, she knows It was all over. Knowing that he and Cliff were going to die together, it was only now that she realized how much she hated this man. Then she saw that Cliff was about to pick up the gun again, and she told the police about Cliff, Let the police kill Cliff. So Sidney's final dialogue with the police should be correct: "The one you are looking for! The one who killed everyone! The one who ruined my life and I will never forgive it for the rest of my life. Man! He was about to pick up the gun (meaning let the police kill him quickly)!" instead of the subtitle translation: "The murderer is the woman." Then the police figured out that she was lying!! Not at all Of course ,

Sidney must have been arrested in the final ending, but the director skipped the filming...and directly gave Nick and Gina the picture of being rescued..The story ends here...

OK, since the unjust, false and wrongful convictions that have been slapped with bad films have been confirmed, then the "innocent" How many A's can "Perfect Escape" get? I still can't get a few of them, and frankly, this movie wasted a couple of great highlights, and it made me feel a little bit of a waste of money. Let’s take a look at the original skeleton: the

story takes place in Hawaii, a place full of sunshine; the identities of the victims are newlyweds on their honeymoon, the happiest and most romantic group in the world; The perspective starts with the murderer, until a big reversal occurs at the end, giving the audience a powerful U-turn; the pure and simple love between the prey couple makes the blindly obedient woman around the perverted murderer feel her despair and helplessness, and must choose to destroy Others still destroy themselves; Milla Jovovich, from The Fifth Element to Resident Evil, no one is better suited to play such a woman who has turned into a devil for love.

A film already has such good ingredients. It is said to be a dish that catches the eye and has a little spiritual connotation. It should not be a difficult task, but the film comes out. From any angle, the temperament is so bad. a little bit. The tension and stimulation are not perfect enough, and the middle is loose and loose from time to time, making the audience feel that the perverted murderer is not always ready to do it; the suspenseful accident is not set up cleverly enough, the appearance of the third savage couple originally wanted to play a smoke bomb, but now the audience The IQ is not so low, and there is too little foreshadowing and breath, so that the audience rarely has time to recall the previous episodes and shoot their heads; there is no overlap or common ground between the lives of the prey couple and the murderer couple, so the sweetness and harmony of the prey couple. The resonance of love to female killers is a bit inexplicable; the most terrible thing is that the emotional expressions between male and female killers are not expressed in any force, and the psychological changes of female killers are too simplistic. , which also directly led to the final police shooting, which seemed very boring, and completely scrapped the most important seven inches of the film. Now the audience has been trained by various suspense films with keen insight, and they know a very simple and practical truth: "The more like, the less!" Therefore, the director described the other two couples as killers and the real killers. The description is weak, trying to be confusing, and the result is that the audience sees it early. Fortunately, the plane shooting will take another turn in the end, which can make up for the needs of smart audiences to seek self-subversion, but it is so hasty, what is it if it is not a waste of time? !

There are many "good" but not "excellent" films, not because he has any fatal flaws, but because he didn't try to make himself the best, it's just a little bit short, every time I watch such a film, I feel Very thirst-quenching.

A Perfect Getaway quotes

  • Nick: Those boys are comin' in heavy, you might want to hang back and let 'em do their thing.

  • Cliff: So you were like Special Ops. What were you Seals? Rangers?

    Nick: Officially, I'm only allowed to say that I've been a sworn officer participating in a phase of certain missions that would make most men want to crawl up and hide inside their own assholes.

    Cydney: and unofficially?

    Nick: I'm a goddamn American Jedi. Possible title number one, by the way.

    Nick: Hey, see this? Took a frag from a Bouncing Betty. It's an antipersonnel mine. Caved in the back of my fucking head. Medevaced out to Germany. Got my skull rebuilt with space-age titanium. Can't go through a metal detector without ringing cherries, but that's cool. Let's me travel with Gilligan just about wherever I want.

    Cydney: Gilligan?

    Nick: My little buddy

    Cliff: That's some toothpick

    Nick: Here's the kicker, though. When I took that shrapnel, I never felt it. I mean, I felt the impact and I felt my backside go all wet, but no real pain. Now, maybe I don't recall the events in full. They did scoop out a little gray Spam back there, but get this. My wolf pack? They will swear that I was ambulatory for more than 17 minutes before they forced me to lie down. Tackled me. Even then I was looking to monkey-fuck a Marlboro Light. There's no nerve endings in the brain Cliff. Remember that when you write the scene.

    Cliff: Yeah, there's some really good details there.

    Gina: Yeah, he's really hard to kill.
