Since the last Q arrived at Ou Rong, let's post this one!
Whoops, I really like the tune of Ou Rong's movies. The "Into the Hall" mentioned earlier is his. In addition to "Bameitu" and "New Girlfriend" are not bad, you can watch it.
The stunning audiovisual performance of "Double Lover" is inseparable from the efficient use of mirrors. Mirrors are really a great tool for horror, suspense, psychology and subconsciousness, such as "Black Swan"——
Ou Rong’s films are probably always the case. The early stage of creating the atmosphere and making the best of it is always ready to move, there is always an endless undercurrent. The audience’s expectations are a little bit higher in the progress of the plot, but they always shed a thousand miles at the end. It was like an inflated balloon, waiting with fear and fear for the final sound of the explosion, but what was waiting was the slow release of the air without the tight seal.
The more exciting the process, the paler the ending, but should the last 10% be used to deny the previous 90%? Is the ending more important than the process? Can you forgive the inability of explanation because of the narrative? Everyone has different opinions.
The opening shot shows a sense of peeping with a round hole. The woman with long hair covering her face and expressionless face is really weird in the shot. After the topic, the close-up of the vagina and the shape of the dilator coincide with the round hole before. Is it possible to remove the content in the middle and directly make the two shots superimposed to express the director's intention "the individual is hidden in the womb", which is more intuitive? (I seem to be spoiled)
Perhaps the director does not want to repeat the similarity transition, after all, the stunning from the vagina to the eyes follows. Ou Rong's design and ideas on the content of the lens are truly fascinating.
Stairs are probably also the love of thriller movies. The endless loops nested in layers are hopelessness without seeing the end. First, the circular staircase is shot up from the low camera. The spiral structure makes the heroine look like a bottomless pit. Inhaled, but the next shot became a high-position overhead shot again, from the external expression to the internal expression, everything is completely opposite. The color of the stairs and the visual direction presented, the endless abyss before becomes a relief.
Exquisite mirror images and symmetrical composition appear repeatedly in the film, bringing the extension of the connotation again and again.
Every time I talk with Paul, there will be a camera showing the symmetrical position of the two, and the communication gradually becomes smaller. The overlapping paintings make the distance between the two people closer, the foreground is secretive, and the background is retreated into nothingness. In the last treatment, a visible obstacle appeared between the two, and the growth of emotion broke the doctor-patient relationship between the two.
Mirror symmetry, twin virtual reality, these concepts are connected in series, interacting to derive the core of the film, which seems to be the same, but the opposite is true. One left and one right, one positive and one negative, one strong and one weak, one true and the other false.
The mirror is not only used as a prop in the picture
For example, the mirror images of Chloe and Paul when Paul took a bath, one front and one back, one standing and the other inverted, one large and one small.
Multiple mirror images of Chloe when he goes to meet Louis.
The second time we talked with Louis, they created a virtual and real conversion through mirroring and focus.
A mirror image of the two spaces in Louis's office.
Too many, all implying the duality of identity, the interlacing of reality and illusion.
The mirror is also an invisible existence in the plot
Real life reflects Chloe’s conjecture through an invisible mirror, taking it from reality and vice versa. So Louis's temperament and office color are completely opposite to Paul's, so the cat head pin and Sandra's mother's information is confused, so it is difficult to distinguish reality from fantasy.
The fake 4P segment is OK. With the music, the avatar split under the confusion and intrigue that contains crisis. It is both horror and erotic. With a low groan, who is the double lover?
The shooting confrontation is the climax of the entire film. The frenzy of multiple images, the shattered mirror image, and the small hand sticking out from the bulging abdomen is a farewell to the fantasy world.
The role of the cat in the film is still very large. The two cats in the film, one is like a mother’s reference. Chloe believes that her mother has been monitoring her, and the cat entered the room when she was ML. The director The scene of the cat gives mood to the cat, coupled with the supplementary association of the audience to the whole picture, a frontal close-up of a cat that has no meaning is taken out here, but it is highly personified here, and the pupils have the meaning of scrutiny.
The appearance of the mother and the cat head pins in the ending all hint at the overlap of the image of the cat and the mother, not to mention the addition of the role of the neighbor, and the appearance of the cat head pins in the imagination.
The other tortoiseshell cat directly brings out the main points of the film. The tortoiseshell cat is a point of knowledge, and the ending will be popular science.
The final ending really shocked me, who was still wearing headphones in the middle of the night, and my psychological shadow was as big as a bed.
There are many points that can be analyzed and analyzed in the film. It is interesting, such as the installations in the museum and some details. Ou Rong has put a lot of private goods in it, but I can’t write it anymore, so learn from Ou Rong to make this view. After all, it's awkward, it's okay to write and write, and the whole idea is as broken as the logic of the movie. Wouldn't it be more interesting if Ou Rong gave up explaining and giving up the answer.
I really want to write a detailed analysis, I want to analyze it, I want to break the cocoon, I want to explore the ideals of the characters and disassemble the relationship between the characters.
but!
I can not!
First of all, because it is written like this, I have to spoil it. I don't want to spoil it, but I can't analyze it without first explaining the basis of the plot.
Secondly, the scale of this piece is not small. Erotic dramas account for a large proportion, and eroticism is also a very intuitive way to portray characters. I want to say it unscrupulously, but I am afraid that I can’t review it, and I have to go when the codewords. Avoid some things, the restrictions are really big. (I'm too difficult)
In the end, if I can write the first two points without care, I may lose it. Pulling films, looking up data, giving examples, analyzing and comparing videos and examples, looking up the data of the examples, one point will spread into countless points, and my current energy and time do not allow me to do this.
But this film is really suitable for pulling films!
Popular science time
Tortoiseshell cats are not a breed of cats, but a general term for cats of one color (just like orange cats). The name comes from the turtle hawksbill because its coat color is similar to that of the turtle hawksbill.
Tortoiseshell cats are mostly female cats, because females have two X chromosomes, and the appearance of tortoiseshell cats stems from the random inactivation of X chromosomes .
Next, please open your junior high school biology textbook and turn to the genetic part for review.
We have all learned the distinction between dominant (B) and recessive (b) genes before, where the yellow hair gene (b) is a recessive gene, and the black hair gene (B) is a dominant gene, so the gene composition will be divided into In three cases-(BB), (bb), (Bb), the coat color of the female homozygous is yellow (bb) or black (BB).
In female heterozygotes (Bb), the X chromosome will be randomly inactivated in the early embryonic development, that is, one X chromosome is highly coiled (Pap body) and loses its physiological activity (that is, it is discarded, no longer used), resulting in the cell There is only one gene expression on the X chromosome. If the X chromosome containing b is inactivated, B will appear black, and if the chromosome containing B is inactivated, b will appear yellow. Because of the X chromosomes in different parts of the cat’s fur The inactivation is random, so the color of the cat's hair is randomly distributed in a mottled pattern, becoming a tortoiseshell color of yellow and black.
There is also a three-color cat (tortoiseshell white cat), that is, in addition to yellow and black, there is also white, but the white hair is located in the body gene.
This is why tortoiseshell cats are mostly female cats, because the composition of male sex chromosomes is XY.
However, since it is said that it is the majority, it means that there are still some male cats. Although this probability is very small, the one in the film is (set) male.
So, how did the small odds among the small odds appear?
I checked the information and said it was because of the following two situations-
One is an extra X chromosome (Kranfelter syndrome, also known as congenital testicular hypoplasia), that is, the male cat’s sex chromosome composition is XXY, and in this case, it also has an X chromosome inactivation There is still another X chromosome for gene expression, but because of the composition of this sex chromosome, male cats have extremely low reproductive capacity. And if this Kranfelter syndrome appears in human males, if you are interested in checking it yourself, I don't have the energy to continue to expand.
The other is the chimera , which is also the case of the cat in the film, and it is the starting and ending point of the whole film.
The word chimera means chim-aere (chimera) in ancient Greek mythology, a monster with a sheep body and a snake tail. Chimerism in biology refers to the phenomenon in which tissues of different genotypes in the same individual come into contact with each other. The same situation is usually called mosaic in animals.
Chimeras are divided into homologous chimeras and heterologous chimeras , and the combination of embryos in heterologous chimeras in the movie (this is my personal opinion, please point out if it is wrong). To put it simply and crudely, it is twins cannibalism, one swallows the other, so is the tortoiseshell cat, so is Chloe (ah, I'm spoiled). Of course, both have left the mark of swallowed twins, one is the color of the coat and the other is the neoplastic.
I don’t know if you guys didn’t watch "Approach to Science" when you were young. I have the impression that this kind of show will have a person spitting out his teeth inexplicably but the teeth are not missing, or some organ parts are added, and then there will be a crackling. Decrypt, um, it's Chloe's situation.
This is how it is explained in the film——
It is a combination of these two situations, which may be different from what I said. The so-called "sex chromosome triploidosis" is triploid , a term of genetics, a cell or organism containing three sets of chromosomes, triploid Biology is often sterile because it is difficult to undergo meiosis to form gametes.
Ma Ye, I finally finished the code, knowing why I said detailed analysis may be abolished! Point-to-point, point-to-face, face-to-face and face-to-face, the chain reaction caused is just like crying, anyway, my vitality is badly hurt.
Those who can see here are all warriors, in order to thank you for your patience, ahem! Benefits are coming!
