Although as an adaptation of the work, the idea and story of the original work often give the film a good foundation, but we have seen too many examples of making good works into scum. The place where David Fincher’s film is very successful is how the original works I haven't seen it before, but I don't know, but the story is really bizarre, the suspense is strong enough, and the story itself is enough for people to watch. In fact, this is in line with the director’s tradition that he is not too lazy to shoot unconventional stories. The lunatic who killed according to the seven deadly sins, the antisocialist with dual personality, the case of a serial killer that has not been solved for decades, the strange man who grew up against, and the rebellious hacker girl, this time is a Some anti-social wives. The rhythm of Vinci's film is very good, and it can basically lead the audience to the point. Even if you have faintly guessed the possible direction, you are still willing to follow the rhythm of Vinci to make multiple plot reversals. So, in fact, this is a spoiler-free movie. You have heard the story before, but it will not detract from the appreciation of the film. The excavation of various details, atmosphere, and spirit is the biggest highlight of the film.
Starting from the sudden loss of the male mistress and the wife, the general details of the film have already made the audience suspect the husband as the investigators suspect. When the husband has more and more doubts, some new doubts make the story look like this. Simple, and then simply uncover the mystery, the truth of the original conspiracy turned out to be that way. It seems that the suspense disappears, but wait a minute, the story goes up and down in dramatic twists and turns, so that when the rich kid lay guns to death, the bitter-faced husband can only end in the helplessness of drifting along with the crowd, a very David Finch ending. Following the story, the director actually proposed to the audience a paradox in general thinking, that is, who is the bad guy in it? Who is to blame? Who got retribution? In the first half of the film, the husband looked like he deserved it, ignoring his wife, laziness, and having an affair. It seemed that he deserved it. But then, when the plot turned around, the wife didn’t seem to be so pitiful. The audience suddenly realized that they had an impression of their husband. It was determined by the description of the wife’s notebook, and when the wife’s "true face" was slowly revealed, the husband looked a little pitiful, not to mention that there was a second generation who was forced to get rich, but he was obviously taking advantage of the danger. It implies that there is something that makes him look a little bit dead, and everything is full of fatalism.
"Disappearing Lovers" can easily be positioned as a movie showing the dark side of marriage, making people scream "Fuck, marriage is the tomb of love!". But what the film shows is not that simple. Marriage may be the tomb of love, but not the tomb of life. If the couple can't make ends meet and are noisy, then it's nothing more than to bury love. However, the larger perspective of this film is that it shows the individual's powerlessness under the pressure of public opinion and the social atmosphere, and is involuntarily coerced into living a life set by mainstream social values. In fact, when the audience is in front of the story, following the unilateral description of the wife’s “diary”, a sketch of the husband’s own blame is produced, it has already entered the director’s social opinion experiment, and the audience is naturally substituted into the film to exert pressure on the husband. To put it bluntly, if you are a member of the film, you will also verbally criticize it, instead of feeling that your husband is a bit wronged after watching the entire movie. At this point, I have to say that this story is better than that of Chen Kaige's "Search". In that movie, the audience knows that what is shown on the Internet in the film is misinterpreted. It produces a sense of identity of "how similar to many things on the Internet", rather than a deeper sense of substitution in "The Lost Lover". It is with this sense of substitution that we can feel the impact of this social public opinion on a family "closely". The wife in the film directly and indirectly manipulates public opinion in a skillful way. From the community to the society, we see Until the husband was pressed hard by step by step. The husband’s resistance seemed to have the taste of American personal heroism, an alternative process of washing away his grievances. He resisted lonely. Only his closest sister and the most unrelated lawyer helped him. One was personal blood relationship. One of his last hopes is the last rational representative of the legal society. It seems that he is about to succeed and even directed a public opinion counterattack. However, the reunion is not in Fincher’s heart. The ending is reversed again. He has achieved a short-term "tragic victory", which seems to be endless in the long-term. The ending seems sudden, and it is fatal, just like We have seen so many news events on the Internet that once aroused uproar and discussion. The onlookers pay attention to the fate of the event center and consume the suffering of others. After the hustle and bustle, only the people in it can chew on themselves. The public continued to rush to the next event with a sense of moral superiority, and tried to talk about the direction of coercion toward the hope of mainstream values.
"The Lost Lover" has a good book and a good performance. Rosamund Parker, who plays the wife in the film, was not well-known before, and personally remembered her as a role in "Barney's Life". In this film, the wife sometimes appears strong, sometimes fragile, sometimes cunning, and sometimes insidious. In short, the image of an "actor" in life is very vivid and vivid by Rosa Mand. She has been selected for the Golden Globe by virtue of this film. Nominated for the best actress, we have reason to believe that she is also very promising for the Oscar nomination. The director can enter the top ten of the Mesozoic era, and the actress can enter the bottom ten of the Mesozoic era. Ben Affleck, the star of the golden sour plum, is at least above the personal average level in the film's performance. His past career as an actor has been widely criticized. That is, the selection of the film is always frustrating, and the public faces are added to the public expressions. But this time the selection is reliable. The public expressions are suitable for the characters in the film. He shows his husband's sense of innocence very well. People sympathize. The surrounding characters are also distinctive. In particular, the symbolic characters are set to exaggerate the performance, but they make you feel very real, but they set off the dramatic effect of the story, such as hostesses, lawyers, and reporters.
"The Lost Lovers" is related to the dilemma of love and marriage, and also to the dilemma of public opinion. Some people say that marriage is a siege, as if you could have chosen not to come in, but what about outside the siege, there are public opinion siege generals outside. You pack tightly, where do you go? David Fincher gave a iconic Fincher ending, just like the feeling that the world is beginning to collapse as shown at the end of Fight Club, leaving the next plot to the audience to expand in their minds and take you there. Choose the role you are willing to play in similar situations.
