I like this movie very much. I didn't find the version I thought after reading the reviews, so I wrote something.
The heroine Maureen lives alone in Paris and has a gift for psychics. Her twin brother died of congenital heart disease not long ago. Since Maureen suffers from the same disease, she wants to contact her brother’s soul through psychics and get instructions. And her job is to help others purchase haute couture clothing. The employer is a social celebrity. She was murdered in the apartment one day. The murderer was the boss’ lover Ingo. Ingo plans to blame the female protagonist for the crime. Before the murder, she sends anonymous text messages to lure or tease the female protagonist. I also grasped the hostess’s itinerary, asked her to go to a hotel room, opened the room under the hostess’s name, and asked her to post a selfie photo, with the purpose of falsifying the scene of the hostess committing suicide in the hotel, and then realizing the imposition of blame on others. One thing that can explain is that after the case was sent, the text messages kept asking whether they had disclosed to the police that they had received an anonymous text message, and out of fear, they asked the hostess to be killed in another hotel room. The hostess died, and the soul walked out of the room, the elevator, and the lobby. In the film, the door opened automatically but there was no one. Then the murderer came out of the same room and was arrested at the entrance of the hotel.
Among them, a little tricky will affect the understanding that the heroine is not only helping the rich female boss purchase fashions, she is also a psychic, and she can see some ghosts, but according to her, she is not really psychic to the ghosts. She was in the house where her brother was alive. I couldn't communicate with my brother, but met a female ghost and was frightened a lot.
The narrative of the film, that is, the camera has always been directed to the heroine Maureen and the film title personal shopper. After the incident, the heroine found that the Cartier jewelry purchased for the boss appeared in her apartment, and at the same time received anonymous information, and a Zhang wrote a note with the address, so she took her jewelry and came to the address Hotel Crowne Plaza Room#329 where the anonymous texter had stuffed it in the crack of the door, and changed her mobile phone card on the road. It can be inferred that the hostess already knew she was at this time. She was fooled. The person who texted her was the murderer of the boss. After the hostess entered the room, the murderer appeared. But at this time, the murderer was not revealed, but the hostess in the camera looked at the door, obviously. When the person came in, the screen dimmed. At this time, the hostess could be seen closing her eyes, and then the camera went blank.
The next shot is the corridor of the hotel, the door of Room#329, the door is not opened, but the camera starts to move backwards and shakes. At this time, the soul of the dead heroine walked out, took the elevator downstairs, and walked out of the automatic door in the lobby. Director This tells the audience that the heroine Maureen has been murdered. Then there was the murderer, the lover of the female boss, Ingo, came out of Room#329 and was arrested by the police downstairs. Ingo broke free and fired at the police officers, further pointing out that Maureen was shot . The bloodiest and horrifying scene of the film was erased by the director, but many plots before and after pave the way for the story. The following sort out some details that support this story line according to the sequence of the film.
1. Maureen is lonely and confused. Her twin brother died of a heart attack not long ago. She also suffers from the same disease. At the beginning of the film, Maureen came to the house where her brother lewis lived, and used her psychic talent to communicate with her brother, but at least two people were needed to work as a psychic. The heroine just saw some weird phenomena in the house.
2. My sister-in-law is going to sell my brother's house to a couple. The couple is worried that my brother's soul will stay in the house. Maureen came and told them that there are no ghosts in the house (even though she actually saw some phenomena, she sold the house for her sister-in-law) Lied). The wife who was about to buy a house told Maureen that the painter was a psychic medium about the exhibition of the abstract pioneer Clint seen in Stockholm, and the works reflected the voices of ghosts. After listening, Maureen googled Clint's paintings and art reviews in the subway, and carefully studied Clint's collection, expressing the heroine's desire to learn more about psychics .
3. Clint's paintings, which were consulted by Maureen, were only released to the public 20 years after the artist's death. According to the artist's own will, this also heralded the death of the heroine later. There are also psychic images in Maureen's information about Clint, which expresses Maureen's attempt to find a way to communicate with the soul, that is, to communicate with her deceased brother lewis.
4. After Maureen helped the rich female to complete the fashion purchase and some filming work for the next event, she went to see the doctor. The doctor told her that she was in good condition. See you in six months. Maureen said she didn't know where she would be at that time.
5. In order to take away the clothes that need to be returned, Maureen came to Kayla's house again and saw Ingo. Although Maureen had never seen each other but Maureen came in, and Ingo called her name. It was obvious that Ingo had learned about Maureen from Kayla. Since Maureen couldn't find the leather pants that needed to be returned, she asked Ingo if she knew where it was and complained that Kayla was annoying. Kayla was busy with the conference call, Maureen and Ingo started chatting, Ingo said Maureen's work was silly, and Maureen felt that fashion magazines were all deceptive. When Maureen decided to leave, she learned that Ingo had been dumped by Kayla and tried to save it, and said that she didn’t love Kayla but it was just a physical thing. Maureen then told the death of the Ingo twin brothers and the siblings about the post-death agreement, just don’t care. Whoever dies first will give instructions to the other party. Ingo asked about some things about Maureen's psychic, and didn't seem to believe it.
6. The house of elder brother lewis was finally bought by the couple. Maureen stayed in the empty house for the last time and was scared away when she encountered a female ghost. Soon after receiving anonymous short messages, Maureen was very curious. An anonymous text message was replied on the train to London. Because of the previous conversation, Ingo knows how to use Maureen's obsession with her brother to attract her attention and keep in touch with her by SMS.
7. Ingo sent an anonymous text message to confirm the time of Maureen's return to Paris, knowing that she had gone to Kayla's house, and asked her if she would like to try Kayla's clothes, and then sent Maureen the hotel room card and time address. Maureen came to her sister-in-law’s house and talked about Victor Hugo as a psychic. On the subway home, she googled the documentary about Victor Hugo’s psychic. The psychic recorded the message sent by the ghost with pen and paper, and then translated it Into language . After that, Maureen returned home and put on Kayla's dress and went to an anonymous SMS appointment. However, no one came to the appointment. The anonymous person told Maureen to keep the room card and would come again, which was to create evidence that Maureen stole the clothes and opened the room .
8. Then Maureen brought shoes and jewels to Kayla’s house and found Kayla’s body. Then he hurriedly went out on a motorcycle and ran away. It took two minutes to respond to the police. This corresponds to Maureen’s death. Realizing that he is dead, but staying in a familiar place in the form of a ghost.
9. After calling the police, the anonymous person asked if Maureen had told the police about the text message. Maureen stopped replying and switched her phone to airplane mode. Going back to the home and video with Gary, planning to go to the Sultanate of Oman to find him. Suddenly I found that Cartier's jewelry that was placed at Kayla's house during the day was actually in his apartment. I turned on the phone and popped up many anonymous text messages, asking Maureen to go to another hotel address for an appointment. . At this time Maureen knew that she had been tricked, took her jewelry to the hotel address provided by the anonymous person, and changed her mobile phone card on the way. And Ingo worried that she told the police about receiving an anonymous text message and killed Maureen at the hotel .
10. After Maureen died, she didn't know that she was dead, but her soul was still staying in a familiar place. Coming out of the hotel, the picture shows the street lamp and the church, and the sister-in-law sitting in the coffee shop alone, with paper and pen in hand, and then Maureen walks in (there is no waiter to order), wearing the same clothes as on the day of the killing Clothing, according to the content of the chat (the case is closed, ingo was arrested), it can be inferred that some time has passed. The sister-in-law here is wearing black clothes, and the pen and paper on the table indicate that she is communicating with Maureen's soul . (It can be seen that the dialogue between the two is that the sister-in-law asks questions, and Maureen replied, which is the same as the psychic method mentioned in the movie.)
11. Maureen went to her sister-in-law's house and saw her current boyfriend. Her boyfriend told her to realize her freedom (don't linger in the world anymore...), Maureen promised with tears. Later, I could see my brother's soul clearly drifting across the house, indicating that Maureen was also about to go to the world of the undead. My brother dropped the cup to remind her: Sister, we can meet each other!
12. After the Sultanate to Dae Man, gary is not in, Maureen saw the house within a floating cup is broken down, and when the soul of his brother previously appeared as seen brother also follow Maureen came to Aman Guo . Maureen started asking the ghost is it lewis? The camera also turned from behind Maureen to her, and the soul made a beating to indicate affirmation (referring to what the sister-in-law said before, one knock is affirmative, and two clicks are negative). But then the hostess said i don't know u, thinking that the ghost was playing with her, which proved that she did not believe that the soul of lewis appeared at this time, and also showed that she had not accepted her death, and then she continued to ask questions and her expression began to change. (At the same time closing her eyes) Maureen now vaguely recalled her murder. The ghost didn't answer her again until Maureen asked or is it just me? (Is it myself?) I got the affirmative answer. Maureen opened her eyes and looked at the camera (opposite) and was taken aback. She saw her brother who had already become a soul , then glanced left and right (maybe other people), and then looked straight ahead with questions. , This video is over. (From the place where the cup was dropped, my brother is indeed standing in front of Maureen~)
The above are the details that I think are important for the advancement of the film. I admire the clues and screen capture ability of the director's shop~
In other words, Kristen Stewart has the feeling of jumping into a fashion blockbuster in minutes, but his acting skills are also online. I admire it~
Finally, put a beautiful photo of KS at this year's Cannes Film Festival~
