Sarah came to the villa, and the peaceful country life made her think like a fountain. Unfortunately, the good times didn't last long. Julie, who claimed to be the illegitimate daughter of John, broke into the villa and wanted to recuperate in the villa for a while. Julie is young and sexy, taking different men back to the villa for the night, which makes the conservative and empty middle-aged female writer Sarah almost crazy. Sarah only tried to communicate with Julie, only to find that this stunner was almost completely the opposite of her: young, beautiful, aggressive, active, and passionate about life. Sarah was inspired by her another creative impulse. After taking a peek at Julie's diary, she decided to change the theme of the work she was creating and rewrite a story with Julie as the protagonist.
Julie found out that Sarah was creating with herself as a prototype, and knew that Sarah had a good impression of Frank, who was a host in the cafe in town. With a tentative mentality, she deliberately brought Frank back to the villa to dance with Sarah. Afterwards, Julie lured Frank into a relationship in the swimming pool. Frank found Sarah was peeping and refused, and Julie was angry and killed Frank by mistake. After discovering the corpse, Sarah suddenly assumed Julie's motherly responsibilities, handled the corpse with Julie, and used her detective novel to educate Julie on the next steps.
At this point, the story is nothing more than an ordinary erotic thriller, but it ends with a 180-degree reversal.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Sarah and Julie left the villa one after another. Sarah successfully completed a new novel. She knew that John would not like the change in her writing direction. She found a new publishing house and published a new book before notifying John. Just as Sarah left John's office, a girl passed her by, and the secretary behind her called John: Your daughter Julie is here. Sarah turned and looked at Julie. This was a fat girl with freckles and teeth. Sarah seemed to recall that beautiful and sexy Julie by the pool was waving to her.
over.
-------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
One, what is this story in the end, it is
estimated that everyone in the end Thinking: Is there a fake Julie who has been deceiving Sarah? Or is Sarah herself schizophrenic? So did the homicide really happen? Who is the murderer?
In order to answer the above questions, we must first figure out what story this is. As the famous detective Mr. Holmes said: After excluding all possibilities, the final conclusion, even if this conclusion is unreasonable, can only be the truth.
And the truth that happened by the swimming pool is: from Julie breaking into the villa to her leaving, all the stories during this period are Sarah’s fictional plots in her new novel. The swimming pool, like the orchid thief, is a realistic plot (movie Middle) and a fictional plot (the orchid thief is the script and the swimming pool is the novel).
The details to prove this conclusion are:
Sarah never had a direct call with John since Julie entered the villa, and even John did not show up at all during this time. She never found John, just left a message on the phone. The only time Julie seemed to have just finished talking with John, and gave Sarah the call. After Sarah took the phone-John hung up. Because John during this period is just a fictional John from Sarah's novels. If John from London appears at this time, no matter what he says from his mouth, it will affect the director to tell the story to completion.
If the last work of sexy Julie and her mother really existed and John did read it, when Sarah showed her new novel to John, John would definitely remember the story and at least talk to Sarah about him The French "girlfriend" and "illegitimate child", but John didn’t mention anything except the dull saying that he didn’t like Sarah’s new style. It can be seen that the story of the so-called sexy Julie and her mother actually came from Sarah’s The fictitious and real fat Julie is John's daughter (note, not an illegitimate child, but John's daughter in London).
2. Fictional things and real people
So how does the old man Matthew explain, he is the only one who has appeared in both real and fictional scenes. I think the story is fictitious, but people may indeed exist. Just like John and Julie, they are real characters, but Sarah made a fiction based on her own imagination, so Matthew really has this person, and it is indeed he who brought Sarah into the villa. . Maybe even Frank exists, but they are all unfortunately pulled into her new novel by Sarah and become part of the story.
The question then is: Since Matthew is real, do Matthew and Sarah actually have sex? This brings up the next question, which is also the main theme of the whole film: the release of desire.
3. Desire
Sarah is a successful writer and lives with her elderly mother. She is a typical old British girl, single, life is boring, lonely and empty, lacking passion. She may have a good impression of her publisher John (at the beginning, because of John's concern for newcomers, she was very jealous), and she hinted that John would come to the villa to have a tryst with him (was tactfully rejected by John). She is also tired of creating bloody detective stories that are constantly the same, eager to write something new, something that she really likes (detective novels are only liked by publishers, because they can make money "buy a villa for John", so Sarah added in the fictional plot This part of the posthumous work of Julie’s mother, and pointed out that "John" did not like this posthumous work, implying her dissatisfaction with John in reality).
In a villa like a paradise, Sarah finally made up her mind to make a change. Putting aside the publisher’s opinions and old-fashioned detectives, she put Julie in her subconscious mind (borrowing the publisher’s daughter’s name, but the image was completely her own. , So the new Julie has all the qualities Sarah wants) to be the protagonist of her new novel. And she herself, through the unnecessarily buried corpse in this story, consecrated her body to the old Matthew. So I tend to believe that the scene of making love has actually happened, which has achieved Sarah's dual release in spirit and body, and a complete transformation in her career and life.
4. Finally, the
swimming pool is a play-in-the-play movie. In fact, there is no murder at all. In the movie, there is only Sarah's play, from the inside to the outside, from beginning to end. Or it may be said that the director and screenwriter have been showing off their ability to fool the audience, the purpose is to make everyone who has watched the film confused.
One remaining question: What is the special meaning of the scar on Julie's belly?
The irresponsible association that has nothing to do with the movie: When you are in your 50s or 60s, and you are very old, you live in the same room with a young and handsome guy in your early 20s, and bring different beauties back to have sex every day. At this moment, you are eavesdropping next door while hitting your rusty pistol? Or take a real guy out to rush out and end up this dog day, and then enjoy the girl?
this is a problem.
