This film has also been translated as "Man in the Mirror". Compared with the simple and crude translation of "The Dark Side", I personally feel that "Man in the Mirror" is more suitable as the translated title of this film, both in terms of surface intention and deep meaning. In ancient China, mirrors could be used to identify loyal and traitors, and it was common to hang a plaque with a "mirror hanging high" above the courthouse. It originally had a religious color and also played a deterrent role; in Western countries (such as the United Kingdom), the mirror was usually regarded as one's own The symbol of the soul also serves as a reflection of one's own soul. For this reason, if a mirror is accidentally broken, Westerners usually pick up the pieces and throw them into the river. They are convinced that the broken mirror will bring bad luck to them, and the clear water can just wash away their bad luck and cleanse their souls. The theme of the film fits so well with this cultural background, and it is a pity not to choose "Man in the Mirror" as the translation name. Perhaps the title of "Dark Side" is more dark and psychedelic, and it seems easier for audiences to speculate that it is a horror movie or a sci-fi movie after hearing its name. Is it not that the audience will be larger? I don't know about this.
One of the genre positioning given by the producer to the film is "thriller", however, the plot of this film is not so scary compared to the traditional thriller, but the spiritual core captured by the whole film is enough to be called The word "horror".
The whole film can be roughly divided into 3 Parts: although there are many doubts in Part 1, and many common elements such as cloudy sky, thunder, power failure, etc. As far as the plot is concerned, it is still a little dull. At this time, the good looks of the male and female protagonists may be able to save some people's hearts; Part 2, as the longest part of the entire film, jumped directly from the dullness of Part 1 to the climax. , and began to gradually reveal the dark side of human nature in the game between the two heroines; Part 3 is an account of the previous narrative of Part 1 and Part 2, and the open cold treatment at the end of the plot is a major highlight of the film.
The film involves the following characters: Adrian, Belen, Fabiana, Police Officer Ramirez, violinist Veronica, the band manager, the old lady Emma (and her husband who did not appear) , the dog Emma (it is very important in the film, and the roles and roles are not inferior to several supporting roles), and from this, the following main characters have been compiled: Adrian and Belen, Adrian and Fa Bianna, Belén, and Fabiana, followed by Adrian and the violinist, Officer Ramirez and Fabiana, Adrian and Ramirez, the old landlady Emma and Belén, and Landlady Emma and her dead husband. Among them, the triangular relationship between Adrian, Beren and Fabiana directly creates conflicts and promotes the horizontal development of the entire plot; and around Adrian, the unquestionable male number one, Fabiana and Beren are separated from each other. A mirror started a game, which directly made the plot develop vertically, and also allowed the audience to see again and again what the entire film was about to reveal.
Several images appear frequently in the film: (with ice) whiskey, watermarks, mirrors, dogs, symphony playing... each of which has its own meaning.
PART 1:
Shot 1: Two key elements emerge - mirror, whisky. In the face of the reality that Fabiana left without saying goodbye, without a word, Adrian, like all men in love, panicked, and he even had a hard time accepting this heavy fact. Note that he responded by two actions at this time, washing his face with cold water, trying to calm himself down; drinking whiskey, numbing himself and escaping reality. At this moment, his expression was sad, which should belong to his most instinctive reaction at this moment. Whiskey, generally regarded as a spirit, is usually drunk with soda water or ice cubes to dilute the spirit. In some European countries with a cold climate, people generally have the habit of drinking whisky to resist the cold natural environment. In this passage, Adrian raised a glass of high-purity whisky. It can be seen that the fact that his girlfriend Belen disappeared was indeed a painful and cruel blow to him. At this point, you don't need to question his grief and panic.
The second set of shots: Adrian drives to a bar to get drunk on a rainy night and meets Fabiana for the first time. Fabiana's first appearance in this set of shots shows her complexity and shrewdness. In this group of shots, she has three direct exchanges and one indirect exchange with Adrian: for the first time, Adrian orders wine (note, this time it is whisky with ice), she treats Adrian like the wine that comes and goes every day Like a guest, there was no special performance; the next indirect communication was the haggard and sad expression of Adrian with tears on his cheeks, and Fabienne directly gave her a simple and almost instinctive judgment "I don't like watching men cry", men cry "Not necessarily" because of his guilt, such an evaluation shows that as a barmaid, the man she recognizes is complicated, just like the society he recognizes; the second direct communication, Fabiana The attitude changed from cold to hot. When reminding the hangover Adrian that the bar was about to close, she forced a smile and asked "Are you all right?" Anna's attitude changed only because Adrian, a drunkard, made a lot of money. It can be seen that her need for materials may be stronger than ordinary people; the third direct communication was when Adrian had a physical conflict with a man under the bar. This is also a reluctance to explain that the relationship between the two can continue. If there is no such small conflict, perhaps Adrian's bedside person is a clerk, a painter or the violinist. In this section, there is a second whisky, but this time it appears as a whisky with ice (the purpose of adding ice is to adjust the taste), which may mean that the hero is still genuinely sad and guilty, and the wanton flow The tears of grief attest to it; but this whisky on ice hints that our amorous hero is about to change his mind after grief. Note that Fabienne's concern for Adrian at the end of this paragraph is not completely sincere from the perspective of motivation theory; of course, it is not just because of part of the motivation to completely deny the goodwill of this young and beautiful woman. After all, the coexistence of motives or dark subconsciousness and frankness, kindness, and sincerity is the normal state of human nature, and its weight varies in different periods and situations of a physical body. The impermanence of human nature is manifested in the fragility of people in life. In the face of this drunk man who was like a child, she actually laughed, because of the cute and silly smile of this man after he was drunk, and no one should doubt the truth of this smile.
The third group of shots: Fabiana, who originally wanted to take a taxi to take Adrian home, held the steering wheel and looked calm and confident. By the way, this Audi car belongs to our hero Adrian. Fabienne guessed that the drunk man beside him might have plenty of material, but she never imagined that the drunk man who was waving his arms and limbs at night would be the high-spirited and eye-catching music conductor in the concert hall during the day. She thought our artist was acting so absurd, a total drunk, that she choked off the music. In this section, the slender Fabienne is a little sad. You will find that Fabienne may be the Cinderella in the idol dramas we usually watch. They have distinct personalities, and their ups and downs in their society are well aware of human feelings and sophistication, but our heroine does not have them. So innocent, so stupid. Waking up one night, she couldn't wait to introduce herself in front of a man who was unfamiliar but wanted to get familiar with, and tried to learn more about the sober man in front of her by asking questions. Unexpectedly, before she started, Adrian simply refused with the reason of "I really have to go". She looked a little disappointed and annoyed, looking at the man she was trying to understand who was driving away, and she was a little unwilling to stand at the corner of the window. At this moment, you will feel that this woman is not so cute. She is sophisticated and purposeful. She should be a pure and simple Cinderella. Unfortunately, she is not, she is just herself - Fabienne.
The fourth group of shots: Another important element in the film, "musical symphony", appeared for the first time, and it will appear many times as an image and as an important element to set off the atmosphere of the film. Veronica, the violinist, appears in the symphony orchestra in a close-up, but like she does with the conductor Adrian, she's just an episode. Although the man on the podium was full of aura, he was probably thinking secretly in his heart at the moment. After thinking about it, he chose to take two steps forward. This move surprised the players and surprised the band manager. Here we will analyze the identity of our only male protagonist-conductor and artist. Artists, philosophers, a group of people furthest from love. Selfish, promiscuous like Picasso, absurd and crazy like Sartre, there are many, this is a group that most easily reflects men's ruthlessness and affection. The talented Adrian has a good temperament and good looks (as long as he doesn't show his teeth when he smiles), and talent is a sharp blade for him.
Shots 5 and 6: Fabiana refuses and welcomes, and Adrian blooms with two (and possibly three) flowers. Adrian came to the bar to apologize to the young and beautiful Fabiana. Of course, if it weren't for the young and beautiful, I'm afraid he wouldn't come, and if Beren disappeared, he wouldn't come (the possibility of coming to flirt is very high, because He is an "art-art-home"). "Whiskey with ice", it's better to change the flavor. So, Adrian seemed sincere but like running water to apologize to the charming girl in front of him, who first affirmed his bastard and saved enough face for himself (I have always thought that women have more face than men, just focus It's just different, I'll talk about it later), it seems that she has more principles and sticks to the bottom line. Soon at the suggestion of Adrian, the camera quickly cuts to the music performance hall. The fifth set of shots begins with the tone of "OH UNBELIEVABLE" that we often see in American dramas. Fabiana's words and eyes are full of appreciation for the conductor in front of her. Adrian's choice of such a location to woo his (at this time) sweetheart is deeply symbolic, the heart of a symphony orchestra has never been the pianist, and the title has always been for the conductor of the orchestra. The symphony hall is like the battlefield of ancient Roman heroes. And Adrian's choice of this place to court has a primitive impulse and instinct, like when a child showed off his toys to a same-sex partner, then this behavior itself has a certain provocative meaning, and if it is to show off to the opposite sex partner, The behavior itself has the meaning of seeking union. The source of this behavior is the male genital display and the competition of force in the primitive society. With the evolution of human beings, the original meaning is constantly being stripped away, but it is only stripped away, not disappeared. Looking at the middle school days, the behavior of male students on the court also has such a color. Of course, as we have said before, Fabienne is a woman with a high degree of socialization (this is just a neutral word, too much socialization and lack of socialization will make an adult frequently run into a wall in society), so, in the face of Adrie Ann's initiative to ask for a kiss Although she has completely fallen for the former, she still confirms whether Adrian is single and whether he can give her a name.
Shot 7: The image of "mirror" appears again. After the confirmation, the two men and women chose to fight hand to hand on the bed to confirm their relationship. It's not just a simple and restrained sex scene, don't forget that behind the mirror is Beren, another protagonist of the war between the two women, so it's also the first war between the two heroines. Of course, Beren was dragged into this war. Before that, she was so confident in Adrian's affection for herself, she didn't know anything about Fabiana. She only knew that there was a person in the symphony hall who made up her identity. A threatening violinist, she doesn't even understand that the master who poses a threat to her identity is actually the source of her confidence - Adrian. Since he can give you identity, security, and love, he can easily take them away without the intervention of a third party. Everything is as simple as that. Undoubtedly, the first war ended with a great victory for Fabiana. In a war, there is only a mirror in the middle, the winner has a bed, and the white flag bearer has no chance to speak, and can only watch the winner take away the spoils. Fabiana said, "I like this mirror." Ancient Chinese used mirrors to ward off ghosts and demons in the realm of the sun, to ward off evil spirits in the realm of the underworld, and to fortune-telling. It is even said that the ancient court used it as a tool to guide prostitution (there are related literature in the West to prove this; in the East, especially in today's Korean erotica, scenes such as using a mirror to guide prostitution often appear). This mirror stimulates the senses of Fabiana and Adrian. The two admire each other and their own bodies in the mirror, which is what is called "guiding prostitution". Of course, fortune-telling is also reflected here. The victory of this war is uncertain for Fabiana. She likes this mirror, but this mirror cannot predict the future for her.
The 8th group of shots: From this group of shots, the film will try to create a ghostly and terrifying atmosphere. This group of shots begins with a villa isolated in the wilderness, and everything seems to be calm. It's also an all-too-familiar scene in horror thrillers. Fabienne then went on a post-war tour. Standing in front of the mirror, look back at Adrian sleeping on the bed—her greatest trophy. In this parade scene, Fabienne looked surprised and cautious. When she picked up Adrian's toothbrush, she couldn't hide her unconfidence and caution, like a child who broke into a stranger's house. It was the first time she heard that eerie, weird sound after this action. This sound was Ellen's distress signal. She paid attention to it but didn't really take it to heart. Until later... Fabiana found two things during the tour. , first, she met the dog that represents loyalty, a dog that may have lasted longer in Adrian's life than her, which witnessed the sweet past of Adrian and Beren, and witnessed Adrian and the violin The hand flirting scene, and now she will witness the story between Adrian and the woman who thinks she can control this relationship, and he will see more in the future, as long as it is alive, there will be constant stories to happen. Of course, it has also witnessed the story of the old landlady and her dead husband before, the most mysterious story. The second discovery was that she saw the workbench, the remains of a former mistress, who is still in the house, but trapped. Just when Fabiana was looking at Beren's leftover works and fell into speculation and thinking, the host interrupted him again in a blunt and simple way, which is also his usual way.
The 9th group of shots: This group of shots is the only time in the whole film where the "dark side" is directly expressed. The dog once again witnessed this profound conversation. "Nature will give people a lot of inspiration" from Fabiana's relief How ridiculous), Adrian's reply is still simple and direct - "Not only the good side, I also like the back side, the hidden side". The talent gave him the inspiration to capture the beauty, and also gave him the sense of smell of the unknown, just like he was happy to enjoy the beauty of love, but he couldn't hide his desire to pursue novelty, so he faced Beren's questions and accusations later. At the time he bluntly said that "everyone flirts".
Group 10: There is a rude knock on the door, and two police officers enter the audience's field of vision. When the two entered the door room, they called Adrian "the great conductor", which was a sarcastic and foolish title, and the rudeness of the two police officers was also seen in their rude comments in the room, "Excellent. , very good, congratulations, the house is very beautiful", just like the words and deeds of the Red Guards during the Cultural Revolution when they raided those noble families. This move is related to their suspicion that Adrian is the murderer of Belem (the latter two directly designed to lure Adrian to give perjury), and it is also deeply related to their hatred of the rich (the latter police officer Ramirez) That vinegary conversation with Fabienne illustrates how embarrassing the officer’s material life is). When the two police officers revealed Beren's disappearance and revealed that the police suspected that Adrian had a close relationship with Beren's disappearance, the woman who had just indulged in love for a moment had to ask Adrian "what's the matter" in a clear-cut way. Before, she could escape because the identity that Adrian gave her was her long-term infatuation; before she was not confident about her status in the relationship between the two, but when she learned that Beren's disappearance may be directly related to the rich and handsome person in front of her. , She finally spoke up, because life and death matter, and in the face of death, identity is a fart. Fabiana's move was the most instinctive reaction. Let’s take a look at the debates on the evaluation of certain historical figures within our PARTY, but whether Marxists or proletarian revolutionaries are all historical nouns, in a few hundred years, who knows what they represent? Asked from Adriana to no avail, Fabiana saw the man's ruthlessness after a tense and choked conversation - "She didn't disappear, she ran away with someone else", "I don't want to Alarming anyone", "but I know she's fine", these sentences are a mirror, implying that Fabiana, who was trapped later, would be difficult to rescue. At the end of the film, when Adrian discovered that Fabiana was missing, she naturally thought that she had a relationship with the police officer Ramirez, so his reaction must be "she is not missing, she ran away with someone else".
The 11th group of shots: Adrian was annoyed and irritated by everything he had just experienced. In the dark, he chose to play the piano to relieve his troubles. On the other side, Fabiana has another contact with Beren behind the mirror, this time being manipulated by Beren behind the mirror. The water ripples caused by Belen's violent tapping on the water pipe completely frightened Fabiana in the bathtub. In addition to the darkness brought by lightning and power outages, Fabiana was terrified. Afterwards, the actions were full and full. On the one hand, Fabiana's terrified mood brought her the pity of her sweetheart; on the other hand, Adrian, who was still in grief just now, turned excited for a moment when facing the bunker woman who published the book Fleur. So, Beren behind the mirror heard and witnessed this sexual affair in the roar, Fabiana in front of the mirror saw the third eye of Hans, the loyal dog, but couldn't see the other eye behind the mirror which saw this everything.
The 12th group of shots: This group of shots is a supplementary shot, which explains the police officer's old love relationship with Fabienne and the direct cause of the breakdown of the relationship between the two - the anxiety caused by the lack of material foundation. Although this scene is just a dialogue, the essence is the inner anxiety and monologue of the two Fabianas. Establishing a relationship with Adrian is too fast. The new love is a criminal suspect. As a woman with a deep city, I am afraid that a rational Fabienne knows all this, but at this time, Fabienne is not the rational Fabienne, she In the middle of a new relationship, her heart is full of desire and possession, which makes her admit that it is more difficult than pulling teeth. So she defended her new love, pretending to be calm and saying that he was not guilty; she also made excuses for her impulses. Everything the ex said was just because of his jealousy. This is a gorgeous excuse and shield for all those with low self-esteem.
The 13th group of shots: Fabiana in the audience admires Adrian's high spirits as a girlfriend, but she doesn't know that just a few days ago, perhaps in the same position, there was a woman who saw the same identity Adrian's high spirits, but also saw his romantic absurdity. At this moment, this woman is a trapped beast, but like the status of Adrian's girlfriend, everything is only temporary, and a woman will go there to be trapped in her place. The band manager is like a pair of eyes of nature. He has experienced the sweet time between Adrian and Belen, and he has also experienced the discovery of Adrian's flirting with the violinist. Now he is no stranger to Adrian's new girlfriend. When Adrian said, "I'll miss you when I'm gone," the violinist Veronica passed behind him, and Fabiana's unease was stirred up again, "She's not missing, she's with someone else. She couldn't be sure if the phrase "run away" would apply to her.
The 14th group of shots: There is a very exciting part of this group of shots. The anxiety of Fabiana, who is not confident about the relationship between the two, was ignited by Adrian's words. Women usually respond to such situations. There are two ways, one is to be an examiner like Belen to test how deeply you love me; the other is to numb herself and let it pass, just like Fabiana, so she is bouncing on the bed in the camera. Child, this bed is her trophy and the guarantee of her identity. All this is childish and ridiculous in Beren's view, but what if she herself is not? As the story progresses here, the thunderstorm sounds just right, the power goes out just right, and Fabiana falls and faints just right. After waking up, Fabiana told her new love Adrian that there was a ghost in the house in an angry tone, but it just happened that the examiner behind the mirror didn't know why there was no response. As for Adrian, it is natural to end it hastily. He does not believe that there is a ghost in the house. He believes that this is the nonsense of a crazy woman named Fabiana. The meticulous Fabienne will not end there. She has already tied a knot in her heart, but it is not the time to untie it yet.
Group 15: Adrian receives a call from the prosecutor's office to go to the mortuary to identify Beren's body, his face is full of guilt and panic (note that Adrian always behaves like a child every time he encounters a major accident , the handling method is simple and rude and even absurd, which is also one of the artist's temperament, childishness is always closely related to talent), while Fabiana, who had already foreseen that Belen was not dead, immediately planned in her heart how to deceive the ignorant Adrian Ann, how to completely defeat Beren so that he can't turn over. When Adrian came to the mortuary, he felt the unfriendliness of the two police officers. When the forensic doctor asked him to identify the body, he glanced at the police officers on both sides, and he quickly saw that it was the two (must be Ramirez). leading) a premeditated scheme to defraud him of perjury. This woman is obviously not Beren. If Adrian confirms that she is Beren, then he will not be able to defend himself as a direct criminal suspect. Therefore, this time, Adrian's direct and simple reply showed that he never dared to be careless when it came to his own safety. As for the things he dared to give directly and boldly, I'm afraid they were not important matters to him. This scene is his war with Officer Ramirez, he wins easily but doesn't seem so easy, because the war between these two is far from over, as long as Beren is not found or as long as the officer has not Prove to Fabiana how unreliable and dark her new love is, and the war will never end. So, you can see Officer Ramirez in the car's rear-view mirror with an unyielding attitude. Fabiana ended a war unilaterally in the wilderness villa. At this time, she sat at home and waited for Adrian to come back and tell her that perhaps the scorched woman was Belen, but the answer from Adrian was not what she expected. , that woman is not Beren. The answer "Beren has nothing to do with me" made Fabiana, who was nervous, suspicious and confused, overjoyed, because this was the ultimate answer she wanted compared to confirming Beren's body. She held Adrian and looked at Beren in the mirror. At this point, PART 1 is all over.
PART 2:
The first set of shots: The whole PART 2 part is basically all satire when it reflects the second half of the story. In this group of shots, Belen and Adrian appear in the audience's field of vision as a passionate couple. They are sweet and friendly, and love each other. If there is no PART 1 in front, I am afraid you and I will believe that their relationship will last for a long time. It's a pity that love is fireworks, especially a love dominated by a male artist from the very beginning. Adrian told Belen the good news that he was hired. After a lot of joy, Belen couldn't wait to confirm from Adrian whether the heat of their relationship was enough for her to follow him to Colombia. There was no danger, and she got a basically satisfactory answer, but just like men are naturally restless, women are naturally restless, and what will Beren who gets the answer will go, everything is in her deep thinking. In the end, unsurprisingly, she chose to follow Adrian to a foreign country, during which she struggled and struggled several times. We can also get a glimpse of how carefully and cherished her relationship was in the future. There is no simple choice that does not experience painful abandonment and inextinguishable anxiety, especially when it comes to love. In addition, Adrian's promise to Belem appears at the end of the sequence. The audience must not think that this promise is false. We have reason to believe the sincerity of this promise. After all, the promise is about the present, and it only ends in the present. The past cannot be traced, and the coming is unknown. Even a restless person like Adrian has a sincere side when "the love doesn't know what to do, and it goes deep".
The second group of shots: This group of shots is ironic at the beginning. Two women have sat in the same seat. Now it is Belen, then Fabiana, and then... In Adrian, I am afraid that each one is true True love and liking, and I am afraid that each of them is a small episode in his life and finally mixed up. For Adrian, love is his physiological cycle, I am afraid that Adrian does not know this. As soon as the violinist Veronica appeared, Beren's face instantly turned gloomy, but out of respectability, she still greeted him with a friendly tone, but she felt a wave in her heart, so when Adrian asked back, "I still talk to him. Did someone strike up a conversation?" She subconsciously said "I don't know", this answer surprised Adrian, so Beren chose to make up for it with sweet words, such a small round of dialogue can also see the feelings of the two The fragility of the relationship.
The third group of shots: In this group of shots, an extremely important character of the film, the old lady of the landlady, Emma, may be more fascinating than the story told by the old woman itself, so if a sequel is made, the old lady will This section of Mrs. is a good point. Let's take a look at Emma, an old woman who is very concerned about her dog (one of the conditions of the tenant's rent is to look after her dog - Hans, and she called Beren shortly afterwards to see Hans), and also quite fond of plants. Among animals, dogs are considered loyal, while plants have no feelings and are naturally not betrayed. It is self-evident that the old lady loves these two. When the old lady said that she was going to Berlin, she also said that she had "complex" feelings for this house. Why is it complicated? There has been beauty, sadness and death are considered complicated, sweetness is sweet, hatred is also complicated... The old lady's line is considered a dark line, and the clues provided are limited, and it is basically a dead line, but you might as well imagine it boldly.
The fourth group of shots: This group of shots is the best time in the entire relationship between Beren and Adrian. The so-called best time is naturally unprecedented, and no one will come later. It also implies that this relationship is about to cool down and freeze, just like Ben An image in the group shot - firewood burning warmly in the fireplace. After the dry wood fire is over, the fire will naturally go out.
Groups 5 and 6: The fifth group is a supplementary account of Beren's identity. She is a designer. In terms of the nature of her work, she seems to be more suitable for Adrian than Fabiana. The sixth set of shots is the turning point of their relationship from hot to cold. The band manager and Beren broke into Adrian's office just to meet the latter pouring red wine and flirting with violinist Veronica. Belen handled it with dignity and grace. On the other hand, Veronica forgot to take the violin in her panic. Adrian simply said, "We didn't do anything."
The 7th group of shots: This scene has a head-on quarrel between Adrian and Beren, and it is also one of the two head-to-head quarrels in the whole film. This time, Beren has the upper hand in reason, making it difficult for Adrian to defend himself and lose his demeanor. In the second half of Beren's sentence "Don't be surprised if you wake up one day and find that I'm gone" is extremely important. It is the basis of confidence for Adrian to bluntly say "We all flirt occasionally", and it is also his absurd speculation about Beren. The basis for "running away with others".
Group 8: This group is definitely the highlight of the whole film. This group mainly uses the background supplement of the old lady Emma to promote the in-depth development of the plot contradictions. About Emma, the story behind her is probably the darkest: her husband "has a unique mind, and he proposed to her based on this alone." Perhaps her husband is more dedicated to work and love than ordinary men, or because Over-focused on work and seemingly single-minded in love; leading Beren to test Adrian to teach him a lesson and say to herself that love should be single-minded, presumably she must have tested her husband before and several times (from "Now is "Our secret" can be speculated), we can further boldly speculate that the test was a failure, and the result of the test was unexpected. After all, she believes that her husband's "unique thinking" is different from ordinary men, and then speculate that after she came out of the secret room Punish her husband and keep him in a secret room until he dies peacefully, so the architect is herself and not her husband (if the husband is an architect, it is not hard to guess that she tests herself and the design of the secret room It also doesn’t require a key when going from indoors to outdoors), and it can be inferred from the hesitant answer that Beren asked her husband what to do; “I used to come to the secret room every time”, so you can contact her before Said has mixed feelings about the house.
The 9th group of shots: When Belen was recording the farewell video, we have reason to believe that the three recordings reflected the emotions and mentality of her love affair with Adrian to a certain extent (from strong to weak): on maintaining the relationship between the two The power is not enough; I am bored with this variable relationship; I want to completely cut off from this entanglement and start a new relationship; The first, second, and third video recordings correspond to the third, second, and first emotions respectively. After entering the secret room, he saw Adrian crying alone with roses and intending to apologize to him. Beren was full of self-blame and remorse. The performance of the two people is that each of them is trying their best to express their inescapable responsibility for the emergence of the emotional crisis. This is naturally ironic, because the self-blame and reflection of the two people all happened before they felt that they would lose each other completely. Without this The premise is how to blame yourself and how to reflect.
The 10th group of shots: This group of shots took place in the police station, and Adrian admitted that he was skeptical about Beren's often alone. However, he kept a secret about his previous quarrel with Beren, and the reason could not escape the word selfishness. If this clue was revealed, then he could not escape the identity of a major suspect. When the band manager revealed all this, he really became a major suspect for the police. It can be seen here that Adrian is a person who does not understand small things and is not confused about big things. What is a big thing and what is a small thing depends on the relationship between his interests.
Groups 11, 12, and 13 lenses: omitted.
PART 3:
The first set of shots: This set of shots begins with the dialogue between Fabiana and Belém. The rhythm is tight and the emotions are tense. A key point in this conversation is that when Fabiana asked Beren, "Did Adrian lock you up?" Beren denied it without hesitation. This move directly made her lose the initiative. If Fabiana learns that Adrian has locked Beren, then it will confirm what the old love said - Adrian is a major suspect with a serious crime and a sinister heart. Even if she is greedy for Adrian's wealth, talent and beauty, Fabiana will choose to leave him without hesitation, because who can guarantee that the next person to be locked will not be herself? But Beren denied it, and denied it without thinking, which also sentenced himself to death. Of course, Beren's denial is not necessarily how kind she is (witnessing how cruel it was for her that Adrian brought a strange woman to make peace in front of her eyes shortly after she disappeared), it's just because she doesn't have that city, from this In terms of level, Belen is indeed much purer than Fabiana, the barmaid. After some conversation, Fabiana confirmed her perception - Beren didn't disappear, she was behind the mirror. After a simple weighing, Fabiana refused to give Beren the chance to give birth, which means that she will continue to accompany Adrian as a real girlfriend for a long time.
The third set of shots: Ramirez, the police officer who took over the disappearance of Belem, warned Adrian to treat Fabiana with an order, and also made it clear the relationship between the former and Fabiana. This scene directly metaphors that even if Adrian unilaterally suspends his lover relationship with the violinist, his relationship with Fabiana will not end well, because there is still a brutish police officer Ramirez in the middle. Just imagine that Adrian, who is as simple and pure as Beren, has doubts about his single-mindedness in his feelings, and doubts about Fabiana, who has a history of feelings, is beyond doubt.
The fourth group of shots: Fabiana's female colleague plays the same role this time as the role of Police Officer Ramirez in PART 1. She appears as Fabiana in the inner monologue. How is Adrian? Which step is involved, whether or not to go to Spain with him, is it really necessary to let Beren die like this and become a victim of this unstable love that fulfills her? Is she really dying now? These are all Fabiana's anxiety, but it can be seen that she no longer knows where to go by speaking from others.
The fifth set of shots: Fabiana, who was anxious in her heart, confirmed Beren's death through the mirror, and she was also terrified at this time. At this point, she simply rearranged the room. Adrian seemed a little reluctant to this. There was a little nostalgia for the past. As for how much, it must not be too much. At most, it is human nature.
The sixth set of shots: Officer Ramirez disregarded the law and took the initiative to hand over the candid photos to Fabienne. The implied meaning of this move is quite rich: a police officer who knows the law and breaks the law can be regarded as a part of protecting Fabienne Affectionate and reminiscence can also be seen as a kind of revenge for Fabiana who abandoned herself in the past and found another noble love. At the same time, it implies that with Ramirez's character and methods, even if Adrian wants to reconcile with Fabiana, it is difficult to achieve, and this move has become the direct incentive for Fabiana to open the secret room to see Beren.
The 7th group of shots: Adrian unilaterally announced the termination of his lover relationship with Veronica. Veronica happily contrasted with Adrian's blunt warning tone, in which we once again saw the male host's Indifference and indifference. The violinist, an old lover who straddled his two girlfriends, cut off or temporarily cut off the relationship in just three or two sentences. Adrian stood on the podium and declared that "the keynote should stand out", and the relationship between the violinist and his lover was counted as an episode, and it was time to maintain a good relationship with his girlfriend. The move might just be a tactic, a last resort after Ramirez's warning. The symphony march is interspersed with the changing environment of Fabiana and Belem. The so-called battle of the heroines is completely meaningless at this point, but it is all satire. The film made a semi-open cold treatment on whether Fabiana could be rescued. The old lady of the landlord died and Belen left, leaving only a key. After returning home, Adrian saw the most loyal dog, Hans, sitting on the bed, which was extremely absurd. Beren's mentality on Fabiana's life and death is complicated. If it weren't for her own tactics, she would probably die under Fabiana's cruelty and selfishness, but her complete despair for Adrian made her unwilling to cooperate with him. Fabiana competes for anything, and after walking out of the secret room, seeing her ghostly appearance after being trapped in the secret room with her own eyes also made her hesitant and sympathetic to let Fabiana die in the secret room completely. On the one hand, he was unwilling, and on the other hand, he felt guilty, so he simply gave the decision to Adrian. At the end of the film, Beren, who is sitting on the beach, holds fine sand in his hand, implying that love is like sand in his hand. The tighter he holds it, the faster he loses it. Compared with the unidentified objects in the depths of human nature revealed by the plain film, this is a sublimation of a sublime theme.
