knives out! To thrust at the deep dark.hooo~
After watching the film, all my curiosities and questions are just like the title: "What did Harlan write in his notebook?" This became an unresolved suspense in the film, it was so mysterious that it reached the end of the film. There is still no relevant reference. I waited for the entire credits but unfortunately discovered that there was no easter egg to tell me this secret. Friends who have watched the movie know that this is Harlan who calmly took out his notebook when he knew that he was killed by the wrong medicine shortly after he was killed. "Oh, I never thought I could kill like this." Some film critics carefully analyzed the old man's guess. Someone tried to kill him, so I set this doughnut round. I think it's more credible.
But back to my question, what exactly did the old man write down in his notebook? Is it a way to change the potion to kill? Or did he write down the name of the murderer or a kit for the heroine? This made me entangled. I thought the screenwriter had wanted to use the clues of this book at the beginning, but it was too difficult to use, or it would make the whole show plain (for example, suppose he wrote "The murderer is Lanson "Oh, it’s a boring plot. It’s better to say "This kid Lanson is very bad" hahaha, it feels so awkward), or it will cause some contradictions with logical inconsistencies, so I deleted it, but I I thought that just like the many wonderful foreshadowings of this show (such as three "my" cup, the portrait of the old man's expression, etc.), this little book should also have the potential to become an excellent foreshadowing. As for how to use it, let me listen Say a possible version of my dream yesterday:
(Enter the feature film)
Easter eggs-appearing after the credits-a black screen for 3-4 seconds. The story takes place in a cold winter in the 4-5 years after the father was killed. The heroine took over the whole house and moved in with her family, making the father's publishing house flourish. , One night while tidying up the attic, he accidentally touched the hand of the puppet figure next to the old man's squat (there can be a scene where the puppet and the heroine look at the camera), which affected the silk thread in its body, so its chin was terrifying. Falling down (scene montage and music rendering) The little book also fell out of the doll’s mouth. The heroine turned to the notes that night, only to find that it was nothing but a blank, giving the heroine a close-up of the page turning with a suspicious frown. But the female protagonist turned forward to the old man’s diary and couldn’t help crying (don’t close-up the female protagonist at this time, give a close-up of the doll who lost her chin), so she moved to the fire and then to the warmth. The light shines on Haran’s portrait. What’s interesting is that Haran’s expression has changed again, turning into a provocative look, as if to say, can you guess what I’m writing?
(End)
In many cases, no answer is the best answer. The charm of suspense is endless. Smart readers will guess the game Harlan often plays. It takes a fire to bake it to show the shadow of the characters, but the heroine doesn’t know. (Although she has stayed at Harlan's house for a long time, it seems that Harlan has only played this game with the eldest daughter in the movie), which seems to be a provocation and game for the audience.
An interesting detail is that everyone in the big family mentioned different things when referring to the female protagonist’s nationality: from Brazil and Uruguay to Ecuador and Paraguay, some netizens said, "Although on the surface these people regard the female protagonist as relatives, but But she didn't really take her seriously." This is of course very reasonable, and I think another purpose of this detail is to make the female protagonist a representative of the vast number of Latin American immigrants, which has the effect of symbolic abstraction.
The scene transition here (the clip in the picture below) I personally blow it up. I would like to call it a peerless work. I won’t analyze it. I will watch it carefully during the second scan. I will wait until the film resources are available online. Write an article about the lens aesthetics of this section.
