I have not dared to write film reviews for a long time, because the more I write, the more mistakes I find. Looking at the wonderful film reviews written by other people, I am very familiar with the professional terminology of various movies. As a layman, I can't say much except to write a little analysis of the plot.
Back to the discussion in the movie, first of all, there are a few questions about the plot:
Is the owl mask real? Is it used to kill the doubters and obstructors? Then as another guide for the male protagonist-a conspiracy theory writer, he is a man? What is the ability to kill a naked woman in an owl mask? Is the mask that appeared naked in the surveillance video real?
When the actor secretly entered through the window after the death of the conspiracy theory writer, that window was already broken? Did the killer break it apart and sneak in at this time?
What is the purpose of the entire treasure hunt? If entering the catacomb for the first time is just a temporary place for the rich, why did the hero appear from the refrigerator in the supermarket when he escaped? Is there really a process of finding the code of Hollywood through constant clues?
Did the sevens daughter really get shot by a bullet while swimming in the lake? Is it the hero’s fantasy or is it true?
What the director is trying to express and what the film presents is both true and illusory, because there are many things that cannot be connected in the plot. Does this state reduce the perception experience? Is it deliberate? What does the director want to express?
First of all, from the overall "decadent" state of the male protagonist, it may indicate that the entire Hollywood is decadent. At the same time, through the mouth of the voyeur manipulating the drone, the director's words were also spoken: Everyone is paranoid and paranoid.
If we really think that everything about the male protagonist is true, then the core story is:
A group of rich men who are tired of their lives pursue the so-called "self-sublimation" process. But the director is not expressing the rich, but the dead bones.
Deliberately through the eyes of the male protagonist, I see too many young girls who, after being brainwashed, are obsessed with materials and accustomed to betraying their bodies. In the end, he has reached the point where he can go to death.
When you make an independent film, you think you are an actor. When I was a baby of 5 or 6 months, I left the country in the movie, and came to Hollywood when I grew up, thinking I was an actor. On the one hand, being candidates, they are accustomed to squandering their youth and body, and they are also intoxicated.
The conspiracy theorist’s quick insertion of a poster at the beginning still expresses the dominance of men over women in social propaganda. Through continuous sexually suggestive pictures, they tell women: You should please men, and you should also tell men: Women are For you.
The most terrifying thing is to get stuck in it without knowing it. The most terrifying scene comes from the content of the dialogue between the male protagonist and the female protagonist. Knowing that he has no chance of surviving, he has accepted this result by default for pleasure. The heroine is still helpless to accept. On the actor's side, the concubine of the "king" who is facing each other is still fantasizing about the so-called "beauty of heaven."
Is it really all that you see, what you can only see, is only for certain, a certain group of higher-level people for a certain purpose for you to see. Because you want to surrender, you have to keep hinting that you are you, you can only be you, you can only do so. Is the emergence of these conspiracy theories the mind of the director or the mind that the director gave to the male protagonist?
In order to make you confused, use constant pleasure to dazzle you, use constant language, food and so on to dazzle you.
When you were confused, when you were drunk, when you were immersed in it, was it the time when a certain group of people made a profit?
The director may be contradictory himself. He wants to express too much without being single-minded, a sense of chaos.
When I watched this movie, I thought of three movies: Memories, Los Angeles Confidential and Black Dahlia . This movie occupies a little margin with the above three in terms of style and intention to express. But under the chaos, the various lines are not unified. I originally wanted to say an escape from Las Vegas, but the result of escaping from Las Vegas is good, and the ending is really sublimated. But the ending here seems to continue to be addicted to it.
The best segment is: the actor secretly found the so-called "composer" over the wall, and then picked up the guitar to smash the head of the "composer". --Is the actor's constant blows real?
The director has a lot to express:
1 The implantation of the plot of the old movie 2 The metaphor of the "composer" 3 The "dog killer" and the "owl mask" 4 If you are interested, you can look at the name on the tombstone for more rewards.
There are also several questions:
The protagonist’s economic problems:
First of all, we must have a clear understanding of the male protagonist's identity. First: He is not that poor. First of all, when he goes to bars and happy places outside, he actually pays for it himself. In addition, he also has a Mustang, and from the phone calls between him and his family, his family should not be considered poor. At the same time, he still had money to call the shooting star.. But he was only four days away from the tramp, and he was cleared out after four days.
Psychological problems of the male protagonist:
In addition: He is psychedelic about Hollywood, on the one hand intoxicated, on the other hand he is afraid of it. There are several scenes showing his delusion:
1 Fantasy heroine barking constantly after swimming--not only the dog barking is fake here, even the heroine does not exist
2 When the women's toilet was attacked, the sound of reprimanding was turned into a dog barking sound
3 Delusion of being followed by someone on the way home
And after every conflict, the male protagonist always looks like he wakes up from his sleep. . . Another point introduced here is that it seems that the heroine imagines that the heroine has turned into a dog, and then she wants to become a dog in the toilet. Does the dog in it represent someone else's pet meaning, or does the protagonist consider the fearful thing as a dog in his heart? If this is the case, is it really the protagonist who killed the dogs?
Maybe Hollywood is really like a cemetery that has appeared many times in the movie, under the countless tombstones, countless young and ignorant bones are buried. And countless youths are like blooming flowers, open to ignorance, and wither away without knowing. .
