1. Five time and space: childhood delivery room, detective world, adult time and space, nursing home, murder scene
Childhood delivery room: The fire in the delivery room was fictional (my mother had denied it), and it was the product of childhood Thomas’s fantasy that he wanted to replace the neighbor’s children.
Detective World: It is a vendetta story with Alfred that began to fantasize after the death of his father, which runs through the whole film.
Adult time and space: Thomas as an adult and the time and space where he met Alice.
Nursing home: the time and space where the elderly Thomas lived.
Murder scene: The reason why space-time is divided separately is that space-time is the real space-time of reality, and the rest are space-time in the past.
This is a story told by a dead man, and the voice-over also comes from him-an extremely artistic expression
2. Clues: external lines, internal lines, willpower of the whole film
Outside line: Alfred who killed his neighbor
Internal line: emotional entanglement with sister
Full film willpower: I can only kill Alfred
Details: In the scene where Alfred is chasing Thomas, the cold light of the knife in the water gives a close-up shot. The cold light represents murderous intent and inner murderous intent. But this was not actually Alfred's killing intent, but Thomas hiding in the water for the first time.
3. Sister Lian complex: a sense of security, adolescence (sexual comfort), and the lock-up of the complex.
The first two are easier to understand, and the locking of the complex greatly increases the tension of the whole film.
Because I love my sister too much, I don't think that I killed my sister (from a direct logical point of view, it is actually that Thomas forced my sister to commit suicide). Because if you think so, there are only two choices, suicide or madness. Therefore, we must turn our attention away and firmly believe that the neighbor’s child killed my sister. Sister Lian's complex is locked here, and will not change in her lifetime.
4. Performance techniques:
(1) In terms of character appearance, Hollywood’s usual way of appearance is straightforward (mostly the main characters appear), while in European movies, their character appearance methods have three characteristics: "important characters are placed behind" and "people are not present." "The sound comes first" "Twists and turns."
The most typical is the appearance of the sister and the father. The sister is the core supporting role, and the father is only the general supporting role. If the core supporting role is played too early, it will cover up the light of the general supporting role on a large scale.
Therefore, the director’s idea here is "to let my sister play in front, but not let you notice it"
The way to deal with it is to put a bowl on her face when she first appeared on the stage, and there is no line from her sister in front.
(2) As far as the whole film is concerned, such a high-profile proposal to kill a person is usually very difficult to complete. This is the very crucial "turns and turns" in the play. But the director must also let the audience’s backlog of emotions have a breakthrough, so he arranged a scene where the elderly Thomas simulated shooting in front of the elderly Alfred's door (in fact, the goal has been completed in his heart, just because Seeing that the opponent is too old to die, there is no need to actually start), and the final real shooting was arranged.
