EP01 Sardines
Sardine Game: One of them is in charge of hiding and the rest are in charge of finding, all who find the hider continue to hide in the same place, all the while waiting for all the people who participated in the game to find the hiding place and huddle together like sardines.
Revenge story. In the first 20 minutes of the film, a lot of dialogue is used to outline the truth of the incident, and the last 2 minutes are used to realize the plot reversal.
Rebecca: Engagement party heroine, Jeremy's real girlfriend and fiancee. With familiarity with the house (father's house), Ian was the first to be found in the cupboard. In the face of Ian's self-introduction, he was a little careless, and his personality was revealed. Is it really impossible to find Carl at Christmas? Not necessarily, otherwise why would I be the first to find Ian. Speaking of what happened back then, suddenly one day John stopped taking a shower. Describe Geraldine as his father's cleaner. An accurate description, including the meaning of cleaning, is it dust or something else? Carl, who was stunned when he asked nonchalantly, was stunned by a sentence, and immediately shut his mouth. Hearing Geraldine singing brings back memories. Finally realized the fact that his fiancé is still in love with his ex-girlfriend. ——A direct witness to the bathing incident, who believes that this incident is a symbol of his intimacy with his father.
Ian: From the engagement time, 9th November, directly to 911. At the same time, he mentioned his baptismal name, Richard Ian Percival, abbreviated as RIP. When the brother and sister were chatting, the B word was suddenly used because they mentioned their father. Still playing the role of topic terminator. Because Jeremy mentions Rachel a lot, it confuses Rebecca with Rachel. After being questioned, Rebecca was embarrassed and perfunctory. Hearing the follow-up topic about snakes, immediately interrupted the proposal to go back to the locker (caused by discomfort). Going back to the closet, mentioning the current situation is like a time machine, a metaphor for something that happened there. After being blasted out of the closet, he hid in the bathroom. —— Actually Pip, one of the victims of the bathing incident, the only one who bravely stood up against the power (Andrew), came back with the purpose of revenge, revenge on the hurt, accomplices, bystanders.
Carl: Rebecca's older brother. The second one finds the wardrobe hider. The first sentence asks why it is in this cabinet. Hiding in a different cabinet every Christmas, waiting for Rebecca to find him. Echoed in a strange tone, should look for the reason why John doesn't shower anymore. Staring at Geraldine's shadow in the bathroom, many memories flooded, and angrily mentioned the hiding cabinet. Hearing Geraldine singing brings back memories. Trying to avoid the smell of soap on Stuart's hands. Fighting back against Stuart It's not your fault that you're afraid of intimacy, you don't know what happened. Very angry about the song Andrew sang, but was silenced by him. Mention that Andrew used the money to get Pip to move out, which drives their family's mouth. Envy said that not all of us were so lucky to escape Andrew's clutches. ——One of the victims of the bathing incident has been unable to escape, and there is still a shadow in his heart, so he resists close contact with same-sex partners.
Stuart: Carl's same-sex partner. Every sentence is challenging Carl's nerves, and almost every sentence has a sexual metaphor. Recently, the two have lost close contact and kept complaining, but they did not dig out the reason behind it. Introduces new characters Stinky John and Geraldine. - Don't care about your partner, put salt on your partner's wounds, and be selfish.
Rachel: Jeremy's ex-girlfriend, Lee's current girlfriend. A claustrophobic, intruder who doesn't understand the game. Feeling Ian's embarrassment, he nervously changed the subject, hoping to get out of the closet. Geraldine mentions snakes, looking very ugly. Was asked about the awkward relationship with Jeremy. Does a normal ex relationship need to be awkward? So happy to hear Geraldine sing. All were reintroduced for Lee. ——At the same time cheating on the current and ex, and still achieved intimate contact at the ex’s engagement party.
Geraldine: Father's cleaner. In a general sense, the domestic helper would not consider herself a guest, but she thought she was a guest, indicating that her identity was not only a helper, but also a helper. . . Suddenly appeared in the bathroom, the time should be after Stuart found the cabinet. Articulate what you see, the snake metaphor. Suddenly mentioned that I haven't been to this room for many years, and after something happened, the door was locked all the year round. He sang after being banned from discussing the events of the year. Habitually calling out Geronimo, isn't it weird? Suddenly let the sound, how can such a strange word pop up. Claiming to be a nanny for three young children, she wants to meet Caroline's sons. She also mentioned that the Boy Scouts rally in those years was very chaotic everywhere. She had a good time, but she was destroyed by a little boy, Pip, and attracted the police at the same time. Pip comes forward and accuses Andrew of a [horrific] crime. ——The accomplice of the bathing incident, who has no concept of right and wrong deep in his heart, a terrible perpetrator of the victim.
Mark: Liz's husband, hoping to take this opportunity to meet big people. Also confused Rebecca with Rachel. Intentionally squeezed behind Rachel. At the same time, Ian, who didn't squeeze into him, was kicked out of the closet. ——Workers with strong utilitarian intentions belong to the category of salty pigs in private.
Liz: Mark's wife. Keep staring at husband Mark. ——I have love with my husband, I can't stand his style, but I tolerate it everywhere and endure it silently.
Lee: Rachel's current boyfriend, silly character. - Spare tire role.
Stinky John: Never shower. Very abiding by the rules of the game. After hiding behind the curtain and being told by Andrew, the whole person came out very obediently, and answered Yes, sir. People only use such a formal answer to their own leaders, and the relationship between the two is extraordinary. When I mentioned the soap smell I smelled at that time, I was still scared. The incident had a profound impact on him, and I always felt that the nightmare was coming back, so I still don't want to take a bath. ——The victim of the bathing incident has not healed the inner wound caused by it, and has no courage to resist, and bears everything silently.
Jeremy: Engagement party hero, Rebecca's boyfriend and fiancé, Rachel's ex-boyfriend. The end of the chat with Rebecca, I habitually said I love you, Rachel. ——The fiancee who cheated on her, and she was still in close contact with her ex-girlfriend at the engagement party.
Andrew: The owner of the house, father of Rebecca and Carl. Aggressively told John it was wrong and you need to play by the rules. Sing the sardine song. Strong emphasis on the identity of their own master, everyone must abide by their own rules. Self-whitening is teaching a little boy how to take a bath. ——The direct perpetrator of the bathing incident, among all, the unquestionable absolute authority, committed the crime with the help of the accomplice.
