When entering the room, I asked: How to use literary techniques in real life? Answer: Collect clues, shape the character of the characters, create contradictions, follow the story along the development of desires, and create unexpected endings.

Guessing if Julie was Sarah when she was young, the unreasonable plot seems to have begun to have a clue.


1. Sarah's mother met an English man who only loved blood, sex and money in France, and gave birth to her daughter Sarah. She lives in a French villa with her daughter, and writes the experience of meeting this man into a romantic history.


2. Young Sarah often brings men to the villa, among them is the waiter Franck. At that time Franck rejected Sarah because of Sarah's mother's opposition.
Clues:
1. Therefore, Franck's gaze at Julie by the pool in the movie is actually Franck's sexual fantasy for young Sarah.
2. The middle-aged Sarah recalled Franck, and still had a good impression of Franck's description in the novel. Throwing a stone into the pool at the end is not only the behavior of the mother back then, but also the dissatisfaction of the protagonist Sarah against Judy taking Franck.


3. The mother is a devout Christian in front of others, but secretly has an affair with the old gardener Marcel. Found by Sarah sleeping by the pool.
Clues:
1. The middle-aged Sarah in red in the picture is actually Sarah's mother, and all those who have sex with Marcel and wave with her daughter Julie are her mother. The red dress was once taken out of the closet by Sarah in the novel, alluding to it as her mother's clothing.
2. Afterwards, Sarah, the protagonist in the novel, once went to Marcel's house to find Marcel, but she saw Marcel's daughter who was still very old. This is because this is what Marcel's daughter looks like after more than 20 years. The daughter told Sarah that Judy’s mother had died in a car accident, which proved that what Sarah saw before her eyes was the daughter of the old gardener when she was young.
3. The gaze by the pool is Marcel's gaze on middle-aged Sarah, but it is actually Marcel's gaze on Sarah's mother. It's the mother's sexual fantasies about the housekeeper.
4. Sarah's mother is a devout Christian, and Sarah is not. This is why Sarah removed the cross in the room. In the novel, after Judy came to Sarah's room to read Sarah's novel, the cross of her room hung back again because Judy started to remember her mother because of the content of Sarah's novel and felt sad about it.


4. Later, her mother and Sarah had a car accident, and her mother died and Sarah left a scar on her abdomen. Sarah followed her father to live in the UK and later became a novelist.
Clues:
1. In the novel, Julie cried on the bed, and then fainted after recognizing Sarah as her mother.
2. Middle-aged Sarah had only a father and no mother in her family.


Five. Sarah published a best-selling detective series under the guidance of the publisher John, and brought him When the money came, she also became John's mistress. Due to a bottleneck in writing, on John's suggestion, she was asked to take a rest and vacation in the villa of his French house. Sarah agreed to the proposal, and began to gradually recall the time she had spent with her mother in France. So I was inspired by the train and started writing novels.
Clue:
1. Dialogue
S when calling John : "The idea kept running through my mind while I was on the train. You know, one of those stupid things that just latch on and won't let go. I don' t know where it's heading, but..."
J:"so, what's Dorwell up to now?"
S: "Well, I'm not ready to talk about it right now. But I think it might be quite funny. Anyway, I'm going to wait until I'm sure."
That means Sarah is on the train The novel has been conceived, and since then the film has begun to appear in a semi-real state. The background of the novel Sarah began to prepare is exactly the life she lived with her mother when she was young in France.

6. Sarah met the housekeeper and Julia of John's villa in France, and wrote them the characters in the novel, namely the young Sarah Judy and the old gardener Marcel. She also inserted her hand-to-hand suspense murder style, combined with the romantic history of her mother, and completed this novel.

Swimming Pool quotes

  • Julie: [sauntering over to Sarah's lounge chair, bikini bottom without the top, long legs, bare breasts, charming raw European accent] You not too hot?

    [the older woman wakes up, startled]

    Julie: Sorry I woke you up.

    Sarah Morton: [composing herself] No.

    [sitting up]

    Sarah Morton: I was just dozing.

    Julie: [soft laugh, casually sitting down flat next to Sarah's deck chair, not at all mindful of her lack of dress] You must be working too hard. You should take a swim in the pool. The water is cold. It will wake you up.

    Sarah Morton: Ah, well, thank you for your advice, but I absolutely loathe swimming pools.

    Julie: Yeah, I know what you mean. I prefer the sea too. The ocean,

    [smiling fondly]

    Julie: the crashing waves, that feeling of danger that you could loose footing and be swept away... Pools are boring, there's no excitement, its just a big bathtub.

    Sarah Morton: [coldly summing up] It's more like a cesspool of living bacteria.

    Julie: [looking back, clearly more optimistic about life] Oh that? No, it's just a bit of dirt and leaves.

    [Sarah nods, unconvinced, set in her ways]

    Julie: So, what are you writing? A romance novel?

    Sarah Morton: [smirks at the very thought] God, no, I write crime fiction.

    Julie: Oh, yeah.

    [disapprovingly:]

    Julie: That's how he makes his money.

    Sarah Morton: [haughtily] And that's how he can afford to buy a beautiful house in France for his daughter to enjoy.

    Julie: [slight frown, reminded of her status as Daddy's girl] What about you? Are your books selling well?

    Sarah Morton: [grimly] I can't complain.

    Julie: [chummily] What is this one about?

    Sarah Morton: [as if to quell her enthusiasm by pouring cold water over her] Murders. And the police investigation.

    Julie: [giggling] In the Luberon? With rich English stories?

    Sarah Morton: [her impatience now all-out] Listen, if you don't mind, I do have work to do.

    Julie: Okay! I leave you alone, Miss Marple. I need to make some phone calls anyway.

    [walks off, her wedge heels clattering, leaving Sarah to the emptiness of her departure]

  • Julie: [in French; subtitled] AHH! You scared me!

    Sarah Morton: [in French] Who are you? What are you doing in my house?

    Julie: [in French] Your house? This is my house! I should be asking you.

    [short pause; now speaking English]

    Julie: Are you English?

    Sarah Morton: [in English] That's correct. I'm Sarah Morton, I'm a writer and my publisher, John Bosload, is letting me have this house.

    Julie: Ah, so you're Daddy's latest conquest.

    Sarah Morton: You're his daughter?

    Julie: So what? He didn't say I was coming?

    Sarah Morton: No, he didn't tell me you were coming.

    Julie: I'm not surprised. Is he here?

    Sarah Morton: No, I'm here on my own and I'm here to work, and not expecting visitors.

    Julie: [lights a cigarette] So he's not here.

    Sarah Morton: Are you going to be staying long?

    Julie: I don't know. I don't have much work these days. So, which bedroom did you take?

    Sarah Morton: The one upstairs overlooking the pool.

    Julie: Of course. That's the best one. Well, I better unpack.
