There are only two actors in the whole film, a man and a woman, several clothes, three pairs of shoes, two mobile phones, a knitted scarf, a theater stage, plus stage lights, a sofa, a desk, a pillar, lipstick all the time, nothing. People's auditorium, chewing gum in the heroine's mouth, etc., just these things, completed a 90-minute movie. From beginning to end, there is only the dialogue between the hero and heroine, then there is the conversation between the hero and his fiancee, the heroine has no interlocutor, and there are no other lines. Without leaving the theater, the beginning and ending of the plot are all completed here. However, I didn't find it boring at all, but I found it interesting to read it, until the plot came to an abrupt end, I watched the subtitles with the music at the end of the film unexpectedly, and watched the oil paintings from the century ago, nude, but not at all. Feeling anything but good. The music switches and shuttles to suit the situation.
The plot does not have major ups and downs, from the heroine's request for the audition, to the director's reluctance to accept, to the audition, to the surprise and surprise brought to the director by the actress's few lines, to the gradual improvement, to the two tacit understanding, opinions Rebuttal, almost to terminate the departure, to the director's request, the actress to compromise, to the overlap between reality and drama, the shock, to the character's reversal, to the director's bondage, the real slap, the sound of thunder (the actress's original suggestion), The actress danced away. The story came to an abrupt end, the doors closed, and it returned to the interesting music at the beginning. The ending was unexpected and reasonable. After watching it, I feel that the film has said a lot, but it seems that nothing is said. Child abuse, patriarchy and feminism, domination of power, domination of people, sex and pleasure. The whole audition process is the interpretation of the script, but also the reconstruction of the script. There is no conclusion to the speculation and judgment of reality. But the dominance was transferred from the director to the hands of the actresses, which eventually became the actress's trial of the director, the whipping. The actress is both vulgar and charming, and the director is both strong and soft, and several conflicts have made the play more dramatic and pushed the script to the end. From the director's confidence in the script at the beginning, to the subversion and compromise of the heroine's idea to the script again and again during the audition process, the film brings the audience closer to the director's heart and the heroine's true face, but it cannot finally reach . It's like a game between man and reality. In this world, some things cannot be absolute, true and false, virtual and real, essence and surface. Take it too seriously, and you'll get caught in a vortex that you don't even know what it is. Unless it ends quickly, it will get deeper and deeper. There are some things you don't know just by wanting to know. Art is like this, interpersonal is like this, society is like this, and love seems to be like this. To get it, you have to pay, no matter the price. Once a contract is signed, even if it is only verbal, as long as it is made candidly, when you want to terminate it, it is no longer under your control.
Is human's pursuit of art acceptable to non-ordinary people a limitless indulgence of instinctual desires? If you come with such a purpose, someone will come to pick you up one day.
In the end, I didn't understand the movie. But in the end I finished it with a pleasant experience.
