Emmanuel Senier is indeed old. At the age of 51, she seems not only to lose her alluring fresh face in reality, but also to look hesitant in this Roman Polanski movie. Her expression became sluggish, wrinkles continued to increase, just like her inspiration when she was writing, she was in a dilemma of exhaustion-but when Emmanuel Senier appeared in such a "real" face When in front of the camera, does it become a kind of narrative metaphor of Roman Polanski? "Adaptation from Truth" is a kind of realism, but it also uses adaptation. In the dual writing of both realism and fiction, a book, a movie, and even a woman have become a text by Roman Polanski .

The adaptation of Truth is a real game. It is the name of the movie and the title of the book. This is the latest novel written by the writer Delphine, played by Emmanuel Senier, but when the final publisher Karina gave When Delphine congratulated this exciting novel on its release, Delphine said: "This is not written by me, this is written by Eller." This sentence presents the essence of this novel based on reality but with fiction. This is the key clue to cracking the "real game"; before, Delphine was in a difficult situation to extricate herself. She suffered a knee fracture because she accidentally fell down the stairs. During the four weeks of recuperation, She was taken care of by Eller, who was once a book fan and became a friend, but in the process, Delphine was in a panic. She was isolated in that room. The poison that Eller mixed with food gradually happened to her. The influence caused her to almost lose her freedom of movement, and the new book she planned to write, including the plot and characters, was controlled by Eller. In the end, Delphine, desperately desperate, escaped from the hut and fell into a mud ditch on a rainy night. Fortunately, while hanging on the line, he was found by road construction workers and was sent to the hospital.

Escaping from the "magic cave" and being rescued, this is a horrible story, but she was rescued, her boyfriend Wigan appeared in front of her, Eller was found to be mixed with rat poison, but did not follow the manipulator behind the scenes. Eller was brought to justice in the traditional narrative method, but when the camera turned, Delphine was cured, and the new novel was finished. Karina congratulated her, and Delphine explained the true author of the book. It was Eller, a person who tortured himself in an inhuman way, instead of being punished, became a reader who replaced him in Delphine's mouth, but Eller did not appear. Such an abrupt structural arrangement meant that The clue of the real game is highlighted: this is nothing but a true story based on fiction, and Eller is nothing but a character imagined by Delphine.

Roman Polanski was too anxious to tell the audience the hidden clues in the narrative, which caused a break in the plot and an abrupt transition. In addition, this fantasy story can still be explained somewhat. It is in this sense that Delphine’s experience has duality in the text, which also makes Eller’s character pluralistic: In the most superficial narrative of the film, Delphine and Eller are the authors and readers. In the constant contact, Eller’s conspiracy made her become a controller. She wanted to replace Delphine and cancel all her initiatives. This was also the logical clue to finally fleeing and heading towards the edge of death.

This process is largely permeated with a certain horror. Eller appeared at Delphine’s novel signing. At that time, Delphine felt unusually tired after signing her name for a day. This fatigue is not only physical and mental, but also of creative desire. "I feel like I Was hollowed out.” It was in this situation that Eller appeared. She kept a smile in front of Delphine. With her beautiful appearance, youthful passion, and understanding of novel creation, Delphine I found a soulmate, and according to her phone call to Wigan, they talked for one night that day. It was from this meeting that Delphine's life changed: Eller called and invited her to drink coffee, and the apartment he rented was opposite to Delphine. As the exchanges deepened, Eller began to come and go frequently. Delphine’s room, knowing that Delphine is often troubled by anonymous letters insulting, also helped her log on to Facebook, and from time to time to reply letters to those book fans, publishers, and collaborators, she replaced Delphine to participate in Durr. The report meeting of the city high school-it can be said that Eller's behavior has surpassed the practice of ordinary readers, and there is even a suspicion of a conspiracy theory: she is going to be another Delfina.

When Delphine's knee fractured, Eller began to take care of her. They moved to the place where Wigan used to live. In this almost isolated place, Eller’s desire became stronger and stronger, and her behavior became more and more intense. She became more and more bizarre. She was named to take care of Delfina, but she was actually destroying her. She was afraid of mice but asked Delfina, who was inconvenient on crutches, to put rat poison in the basement. When Delfina climbed down the stairs with difficulty, I always felt that the door on the floor was closed, and Delphine could only be trapped in the dark waiting for death; Delphine was depressed, and the medicine Eller gave her in a cold did not work. , But made her sicker; on that rainy night, Neighbor Raymond came to knock on the door and wanted to call for help, but Delphine couldn't make a sound. She struggled to crawl out of the house, and escaped by herself on the rainy night, passing by her side. The truck of's made her fall into the ditch again...

An author has written a best-selling book and has fans who love him. This is a normal author-reader relationship established because of the novel, but the relationship between Delphine and Eller is so uneasy, even It’s horrible. Obviously, Eller’s behavior is beyond the boundaries of the reader. She replaced Delphine in the disappearance. But such a story, because of its thrilling taste, brings the entire film narrative into another relationship. Middle: Eller is a character imagined by Delphine. Eller appeared when Delphine was in a creative dilemma. Her body was hollowed out. In fact, her passion for creation was completely wiped out. She turned on the computer and couldn't write a word at all. In the dream, the computer was caught by Karin. Na threw it out, and the direction she threw it out was the room opposite Elle. So she was in a trance, in her dream, she found an outlet for her new round of creation: Eller.

Eller told Delphi that she was also a writer, but she was a "shadow writer", who wrote autobiography for those celebrities without signing them. The "shadow writer" did not have her own name, and Delphi was caught in the dilemma of creative exhaustion. Na also feels like a shadow writer, so she needs to find new inspiration to write new novels. Eller became a phantom, which is to continuously influence Delphine, thereby inspiring Delphine's creative desire. They are Delphina's self and homecoming, so there are always contradictions, and some will gain new things in the settlement of this contradiction. Delphine has always been keen on fictional writing. This kind of writing is far away from daily life and away from the stories around them. It is precisely because of this that inspiration is prone to exhaustion, so Eller suggested that she pay more attention to things around her and write more about daily life. The female radio reporter came to interview Delphine. Delphine was still talking about her fictional writing. When they left, Eller in the room said to her: "This woman will sink you. Only I understand you." And Delphine angered her for the first time: "Look at me, I am empty and can penetrate."

I have become a person without passion, so this sense of emptiness that can be penetrated is exactly Delfina's anxiety about creation. Like those anonymous letters that are constantly being sent, Delfina is trapped by herself. But Eller suggested that she pays attention to the reality of herself, which really opened a door for her. Delphine took the initiative to call her daughter in the park, and her daughter also told her that she had achieved solo flight, "This is the best I have ever done. Things.” She also took the initiative to call Wigan to tell her about her creation and life, and Delphine also took out the notes and diaries she wrote since she was 12 years old, hoping to discover those realities. In this process, Delphine and Eller got closer and closer, and this state of gradual merging into one is more like a combination of self and illusion.

However, a more secret clue appeared here. It seemed that after Delfina’s leg fractured, the horror encountered in the cabin was a kind of transcendence for Delfina to enter the world of illusion. Looking for inspiration from Eller’s stories, Eller seems to have begun to tell her own stories. On the other hand, these stories have a certain fictional color. It seems that Delphine wants to combine reality and fiction in transcending herself. Reach another peak of creation. However, in the process, Eller in the phantom sense has become a kind of shadow: she weaves a conspiracy, she creates violence, she pushes Delphine to the edge of pain, and even experiences it in a way of death This is the most divorced text, so Elle is not just a fictional self-imaginary created by Delphine, but her other self, that is to say, Eller is the self with the shadow of Delphine's past.

After Delphine fractured, Eller sent her to the cabin where Anxin created and rested. It was from that rainy night that Eller opened up her heart in front of Delphine and talked about the various experiences she had experienced: her mother was in her 4 She died when she was 10 years old, but she was violent when living with her father. She was locked up in a dark room. Afterwards, there was a big fire at home. The arsonist was never found. Eller, who was a childhood shadow, met afterwards on a rainy day. After getting married, the relationship gradually became cold. Later, I went hiking together and lived in a small wooden house at night. When Elle went out to see the scenery by himself, he heard gunshots: her husband committed suicide. This is Eller’s secret history, full of violence and death, and is this history not Delphine’s personal experience?

Delphine keeps her diary since she was 12 years old, and her 15 years of memories are sealed by her. They are written in the text and hidden in the closet. This is also Delphine’s secret story; Delphine never tells her current boyfriend Wigan talked about her past. Her son and daughter were in other places, and she rarely contacted her. Family affection seemed to be missing, and this lack was probably caused by childhood violence and her husband’s suicide. It is also because of this, Delphine Her creation always bypasses reality and people around her. The way of fiction is to find a safe haven for herself, but fiction has caused her to face the exhaustion of creation. When faced with blank manuscript paper, when she loses the motivation to write in a nightmare, this pain No one can experience it. Therefore, Delphine has to create another fantasy self to cover up another shadowed self, in order to find new inspiration.

So Delphine got her story from Eller in the shadows: She let Eller open up her heart, tell her various experiences, and turn all this into a phantom, just like Eller said of the name "Qi The girl of "Qi", "She is the character I imagined." It was the Kiki in this fantasy that made her find a friend to replace her as an arsonist. Similarly, Eller also became the Kiki of Delphine, she All the stories told have nothing to do with herself; but she wants to become herself again, so she has caused a fracture accident, so she was locked in the room, so she experienced pain, encountered fear, completed escape, and finally fell into the mud Without dying-only by living can you create better.

At first, Delphine’s novel based on Eller was named "Eller," "ELLE" means "her" in French, who is she? It is Eller with self-shadow, and Eller with self-illusion. , It was Eller who had a story around her, Eller who made up her fiction, and all of this made Delphine reborn and become a new self, so when she finally told Karina: "This is written by Eller . "Eller has become a brand-new Delphine: Her book sells again, and she signs for readers again-and when signing, Eller's phantom reappears, and he seems to make Delphi in this looming way. Na sees a different self, she sees herself both in the text and in reality.

From the first relationship constructed by the author and the reader, to the second relationship constructed between the self and illusion, and then to the third relationship constructed between reality and fiction, the "truth adaptation" has crossed the boundary between text and text. , And set up a stage between reality and fiction, which undoubtedly shows Roman Polanski’s ability to control the film, but in this three-fold organization, the biggest flaw is still the import that finds clues: Delphine Saying goodbye to the painful life all of a sudden, Eller disappeared from life all of a sudden, and the new famous book suddenly became a bestseller. The text of "Adapted from the Truth" tells the audience very plainly: this is just a text game about the self.
