First of all, this film is indeed a combination of reality and fiction, an interweaving of reality and fiction.

In fact, there are not many dialogues in this film. It is more about the pictures and the details of the characters' movements.
Therefore, first clarify a few important points. Correct a few errors.
1. At the beginning, Sarah asked Jonh "If I go to the villa, will I go with her in a few days?" The information here is sufficient, which proves that John and Sarah are not simply a relationship between a publisher and a writer.
First of all, would a normal publisher let a writer who works for him live in his own country house? And she's still a female writer. Not only was this female writer not surprised, she asked if you would come to visit. The implication is to accompany yourself. The information is so sufficiently clear that I won’t repeat it.
Next, Jonh replied to Sarah, "I have a daughter to take care of, maybe I will go on weekends." Here I listened to the original English sound N times by hearing. It is indeed not written in some reviews that "my daughter may go on weekends". I think it must be the person who did the subtitles for the movie he watched wrong, or he had a wrong understanding of the subtitles. In short, John meant that her daughter was in London, and he had to take care of her, and might not have time to go. After speaking, Sarah seemed very disappointed. This also explains why her daughter came to see her dad at the end. Prove that their father-daughter relationship is very good and not far away.

2. Where is fiction and where is reality?
Let’s look at it in a backward way, the
clue:
A.julie and his father John have a very good relationship, so as long as the movie starts to appear in the movie, Julie said that his father is a fictional scene. When Julie appeared on the first night, he asked Sarah "Are you his new love?" It was already in the novel at this time.
B. Sarah tried to talk to John several times without success. Therefore, the first time he couldn't find John on the phone, it was already in the novel.
In the movie, Sarah talked with his father on the phone the first night after arriving at the villa, and then received a call from John the next morning, and praised his villa as heaven on the phone, and when she asked John when she planned to When he came over, John said that he had not planned yet and that he was too busy at work, and hung up the phone in a hurry, making Sarah very disappointed. Here again proves that their relationship is extraordinary. And that night, after John's daughter Julie arrived, Sarah called and complained that he didn't tell her that his daughter would come. It turns out that John didn't say that his daughter would go before. At this time, it was not connected, but the answering machine. It's already in the novel. The next day Julie received a call from his dad, and when Julie handed the phone to Sarah, there was no John's voice on the other end of the phone, proving that it was an illusion at this time.
C. Cross I
remember that Sarah picked off the cross on the wall and put it in the drawer the day before she moved into the villa. However, in the next few shots, the crosses were all hung on the wall. Some people would think that Julie entered Sarah's room and hung it up for her. But there is no reason or reason. This cross does not mean anything, and this is not a vampire movie. From beginning to end, the cross has not had any impact. So it's not like that. And, even if it is, since Sarah is so annoying, why should he keep the cross on the wall so that he can take it off again. Therefore, it proves that it is in the state of fiction at this time.

So, the conclusion is
1. Sarah did go to the villa, and the villa did have marcel the gardener. From the beginning, to the train ride, to the marcel pick-up station, everything happened in reality.
2. Julia, the daughter of john. Really exists, but I live in London, and I haven't gone to the villa and haven't seen Sarah. In the novel, it is called julie.
3. This time is a personal understanding. Different people have different understandings in the last wave. Personally, I think it means to say goodbye to my past at least. Finished the first changed work in 10 years, found a new publisher, and experienced the change of mind. There is a sharp contrast with the mental state of Sarah at the beginning.
4. About inspiration: As long as anyone who has written something a little knows, the inspiration is wild and unconstrained, and there are many things without clear boundaries and meanings. It is not clear from which point to start a novel and which point to end in reality. It is enough as long as we can almost determine when it must be in the novel. This is exactly what makes the filming of this film so uncommon. Otherwise, it's just like a Chinese film. It is explained everywhere. Isn't it better? Many movies are like this, such as the works of David Fincher, Mulhollando and his like.
Inspired by John’s love of the new and disgusting the old; John has a daughter; the gorgeous clothes of the former hostess in the closet; the old and simple gardener marcel; the middle-aged waiter who strikes up a conversation in a small town restaurant; etc., please add.
These are the sources of creative inspiration.

Finally, the story is actually very simple. At least the stories from Sarah's daughter's late-night visit to Sarah's submission are all novels. There is no description of reality in the middle. Sarah has always lived a life of eating, sleeping, and playing peas alone: ​​eating, writing, letting gardeners build grass, cleaning swimming pools, swimming, shopping, going to small restaurants to eat, going up the mountains to visit places of interest, and continue to create. Until she finishes the whole novel.
After writing decades of suspenseful and bloody novels about murder and reasoning, she finally relaxes. I wrote my own mental journey, but the final manuscript was left by Julie's mother and passed on to her. The two mentions of accidents and car accidents in the film should also reflect the relief and release of her certain feelings for her mother.

I just write here, I hope people who understand me will leave a comment, and those who understand me will also leave a comment. Leave a comment if you have supplemented what I wrote, and leave a comment even if you have different opinions. Just leave a like if you don’t want to leave a comment.
