In a film that is purely supported by dialogue in a confined space, the characters are definitely minimal, including "This Man From Earth", "Buried Alive", "Killing", to Woody Allen's series of films, to "Marriage "Consultation" and the Trilogy of Love. For this type of film, you need to keep an eye on the subtitles during the viewing process, especially if you are not good at English. The filming process is very tiring, but helplessly I like this kind of film, because it is suspenseful enough and mind-consuming.
There is no introduction to this film, no past events of the three women. At the beginning, you don’t understand why you got together so hard, but only the courtesy of dinner. You don’t understand that Roberta and Alice, who always want to miss the beloved son-in-law. The relationship, in short, was confused at first, but in the end all the doubts gradually revealed the answers, which made people thoughtful.
1. Not surprisingly, the prototype of the writer's writing comes from himself and the people around him, so is this a kind of betrayal? The other party gives you the secret, can you publish books? When you gain fame and fortune because of this, should you pay for the other party’s credit?
The two writers of the film, Alice is obviously unwilling to admit that this is a kind of betrayal. She is very arrogant and disdainful of other prolific writers. She does not admit that the inspiration for writing comes from life. She thinks that inspiration is the gift of another universe. It is the dialogue between the soul of the predecessors and myself. So even if a friend's life is broken because of her book, there is no guilt. In fact, the book that made her famous is from Roberta's life, and the invitation to the other party this time is to get clues from the other party. When Roberta broke her goal and proposed to divide the profit by 30%, Alice was completely confused, so cleverness is always mistaken by cleverness, the day when you want to kidnap the other party with emotion will always make mistakes.
Kelvin, another best-selling author, is completely the opposite of Alice. He is good at getting inspiration from strangers, being humble and clever, knowing the current affairs and knowing how to cooperate. It can be seen from the fact that he finally collaborated with Susan to write a new book and promised to have a five to five point achievement with the other party. Four months It is very fast to be able to write a book, thanks to his cleverness of knowing how to cooperate with people. I believe this was also a question he asked when Alice was speaking. The inspiration cannot come from heaven, but from the people and lives around him. , The writer should admit this, rather than blindly conceited and self-deceived.
So the greatness of a writer is nothing more than a statement about the lives of others. The so-called talent and so-called inspiration are nothing but a coat of force.
2. The whole film reveals that there is no true relationship between people, and people are full of use and use. The simplest one belongs to Taylor, Alice's nephew. He thinks that publishers' invitations and appointments are from each other's goodwill, even as an audience I guess. But when he confessed, the other party said a fuck and a shit, how naive Taylor seemed. It turned out that he was really just using him to spy on Alice's manuscript. You can't believe that this behavior is just a way to deceive each other to cooperate with a stranger about the pain points between yourself and your boyfriend, which is really heart-wrenching.
3. The ending is really surprising. What did Alice write before she died? What is the metaphor of bees? Is Taylor really just Alice's nephew? Her apartment was obviously inherited by Taylor. What does the picture of Taylor on her desk mean? What is recorded in her personal essays? What does it mean for Taylor to smile at last?
These have become mysteries, let the audience use their own imagination, I guess the director's intention is like this, everyone is a writer of his own life, and each of those mysteries has everyone's answers. Perhaps the bee metaphors that humans are like bees. Social creatures are busy making honey every day. It seems that everyone is very close, but no one really cares whether the other person is dead or alive, and the honey ultimately does not belong to them.
This gathering of three women was full of deceit, betrayal, indifference and utilitarianism. Everyone had their own purpose. The selfish writing that Alice embraced finally made Kelvin, another writer, a creative inspiration from Susan. Roberta's goal of losing her beloved son-in-law finally fell through. Taylor finally got his aunt's legacy. It is not a great irony. The benefits from blood are far greater than the wealth of others.
Although the movie looks a bit inexplicable, it is actually very interesting. Many shots seem unnecessary, but they have a sense of magic. For example, the shots of the cruise ship kitchen making food. I don’t quite understand it when I watch it. I think it might be a metaphor. Another example is Alice's pretending to be lost in the cruise ship work area. Is there a metaphor for her to deceive herself?
In short, many details are worthy of a second brush.
