In addition to the boring process, this is actually a good story. What's more, the cast is strong enough. Hawthorne Thurman and the like have to have a face, act and act, and the appearance of another male protagonist is equivalent to a death poem with Hawthorne. The relationship between social classmates is something to watch.
But I can’t help thinking of Polanski. Then I compared the film with the films of Boshen (such as "Sword in the Water" and "Death and Maiden", both of which are small spaces, two men and one woman). Finally, I felt that the creator of the film was still tender. .
Where is the specific tenderness? The most obvious personal opinion lies in the ending. I think if you are energetic, you should arrange for Hawthorne to throw the tape to Thurman when he sees the director deciding to stay abruptly, so that she can be used as evidence and arrest the director as an X.
The director is enough to pretend, yes, he is definitely a young man compared to Hawthorne, who has a dark and stingy psychology and is a drug addict, but this does not mean that he is as good as he thinks, and it does not mean that he is not annoying. Perhaps what he hates most is that he is too strenuous to pursue it. This chase made him seem weak and suspicious. Hawthorne accused him of raping his ex-girlfriend, but he admitted that he did not do it, but he was hit by Hawthorne's aggressive method. He felt that he should apologize for his fault in order to maintain his reputation as a good person. This posture of knowing mistakes and correcting them has immediate effect in maintaining reputation, but insisting on being correct is unconvincing. On the contrary, Hawthorne is easy to be regarded as irrational, and the moral standards of the two are obviously different. The director rushed to the moral high point, and didn't care about how absurd and boring it is to apologize for what he has never done. Moral sense here has become a form of expression of interest, so his approach is actually very snobbish. Thinking back to this point of view, sloppy confession is a lack of virtue.
This became more and more obvious in the later plot turning. Huo Sauna released the tape, and the director’s previous apology for judging the situation was tantamount to crucifying him. At this time, he became fierce, and the expression in his eyes meant to kill Hawthorne. Recall that at the beginning, this person was still educating Hawthorne not to be violent.
Then the ex-girlfriend came and things got fun. The director knew what bad water Hawthorne was pretending, but he didn't mention anything at first. It was not until he left and left Hawthorne to be alone with his ex-girlfriend for a while before turning back. The former girlfriend apologized for the rape ten years ago. Of course he didn't know that his ex-girlfriend had just told Hawthorne about it, so he didn't mention it. I think he struggled with himself during the time he was walking away. He must be thinking that Hawthorne is absolutely forced to play tapes to his ex-girlfriend at this moment, and he must be thinking that his bully image has already risen in the heart of his ex-girlfriend... So he couldn't stand it anymore. The multiple-choice questions he faced at this time were the same as before. Option one, I am a rapist who knows his mistakes and never corrects; Option two, I am a rapist who corrects his mistakes. He chose two again-the former girlfriend apologized for the rape he had never done, but the latter refused him and was still unwilling, as if he was not cleansed for not accepting the apology. Therefore, in the director's mind, the crime is not in the memory of the person involved, but in the evidence of the tape. In order to get on the account and then cancel the account, he did not hesitate to force a woman to look back on her unhappy experience, that perseverance and aggressiveness, who said that he was a good person really never met a good person.
Sure enough, the ex-girlfriend was pressed into a hurry, or turned into anger from shame. In short, relying on the existence of the tape, she went down and called the police, saying that there was a rapist. Since then, the film has been forced to fall down. Hawthorne was arrested for fear of taking drugs and wanted to leave, but the director once again assumed the posture of gentleman Shi Shiran, to explain to the people that he had never touched his ex-girlfriend. He seems to have found his way to the moral commanding heights from Thurman’s previous denials, but it’s not justified here, because I will inevitably feel that this person is lacking in mind-the tape is still intact with Hawthorne, so why is he so? Sure Hawthorne will not shame him. And Hawthorne was uncomfortable enough, and began to be educated by the director and couldn't bear a few words, how could he be able to bear it when he saw this person pretending to be X like this. I was so stupid that I decided to stay too, stay and stay, not enough to wash away the drugs, and ruined the tape. To be honest, this is not in line with the character's trend. What happened to the dark and stingy Luther mentality? I do not know.
On the contrary, the ex-girlfriend shook the burden of an unexpected ending. It turned out that they did not call the police and pretended to be indignant to deceive Hawthorne to destroy the drugs. This is simply a warmhearted HE, returning to Hollywood stereotypes at the last second, it's a shame.
The accusation ending is really not because of my biased values, but because it is not fun, not deep, and not enough aftertaste. As an art, film is not affirmed to be right, let alone a cow. What is really right is to present the character's choice of personality and the corresponding ending; what is really good is to taste something wrong in the so-called right, and find a little cuteness in the wrong. After all, life and creatures are complicated. This is why Polanski is Polanski, and the film has been reduced to a corner with mushrooms.
