to admit that some people are extremely arrogant in their bones, which is also the origin of this film review.
——Grave-digging
classics, high IQ labels are often affixed to this movie. Of course, many people sneer at it, but I believe most people will admit that this is an excellent movie, even in Hollywood. . On this basis, this article attempts to analyze a little bit from a personal perspective. As to whether the understanding of the viewers can change, it is a different matter. The grave has been dug, and the book is back.
Regarding the overview of the story, in fact, after watching the film again, the understanding of the viewers should not be too deviated, that is, "Mr. Saliva Kint" told the detectives a carefully compiled within two hours of being released on bail at the police station. The story, and then at the very moment, escaped. Many disputes tend to focus on the details of the story.
A good movie often sets up many amazing details-this is not only the soil for conspiracy theories, the starting point for brainstorming, but also the essence of repeated chewing.
For the grasp of these key details, first of all, it is often necessary to calmly appreciate every shot of the film, rather than watching Thai dramas. (PS: I once met a professor who was late for a student who disgusted him. He always insisted that if you miss the beginning, you miss everything. There may be this meaning here.) Of course, this is not enough. Secondly, we must pay attention to the order of details. Association and echo.
For example, at the beginning of the film, the shot of a man in black killing Keaton on a boat, in fact, there are several scenes that are extremely critical. 1. The left hand used by the man in black to light a cigarette uses a full-gold lighter (and Kint has always concealed that he had a problem with his left hand, and when he walked out of the police station, he received his full-gold lighter); 2. Keaton said something : I lost consciousness in my legs. (Mentioned later) 3. Give a close shot of a bunch of ropes tied up. (Mentioned later) 4. The man in black escaped. Please remember that these shots and details are carefully arranged.
Of course, for this film, further processing is needed when understanding the key details, that is, to remove the false and keep the truth. On the one hand, there are a lot of flashbacks and interludes in this film, and many shots are compiled by Mr. Saliva based on reality.
If you have achieved the above three points in details, you can move on to the next step, which is to clarify the context of the story. As the film progresses, the following are presented in turn:
1. Five people were asked to identify the murderer due to the truck robbery. ——It happened completely real, and it was an interjection of Kint's recollection, location: New York. Time: Six weeks ago.
In this part, a few facts are explained:
First, the relationship between the five people.
Keaton knew four other people, and everyone else knew Keaton. This is the accumulated affection of the police and criminals.
McManus and Fenster are partners who often robbery together.
Todd Hockney is a blaster.
Kint can be described as unknown, and there is no obvious record of the case.
Secondly, it implies that this is a scam.
On the one hand, Keaton said: The police department will not keep five prisoners together. He was convinced that this was a conspiracy, and was anxious because his business was ruined and fell into despair.
On the other hand, Kint’s narration implies that he has in-depth investigation of these people, and his inner activities show that the purpose of this farce is actually to test the abilities of the other four people, and use this opportunity to weigh these people. Competent with their own plans and realize that "they will not succumb like anyone, will not succumb to drive".
2. The scene of the explosion-the current Sao Paulo, reality. Explained the following:
Sheriff Jack, Hungarian lively, pave the way for the portrait.
The search team explained that Kint was taken away by the district attorney and brought the story to the right track, that is, Kint's dealings with Sheriff Jack two hours before he was released on bail.
The floating corpse in the distance was a traitor assassinated by Kint, and was not salvaged in time. Instead, at the final critical moment, Agent Kane was trapped in the story he helped Kint prepare.
3. The gem robbery after the accusation. ——New York, real.
I thought this was a test designed by Kint, and led the gang to Sao Paulo, because the plan was involved in Kint and was successfully realized without killing, because the bureau was set up by him, so naturally it went smoothly.
The narration of the story also shows the true feelings of Keaton and the female secretary in a delicate manner. This is the true part of the story compiled by Kint. He firmly believes in the relationship between Keaton and the female secretary and has a deeper understanding of Keaton. This is how he took the opportunity to weave the story in The source of realistic material in Keaton. It was also the reason why Agent Kane was confused by him.
4. Here is the conversation back to the right track. The conversation between
Kint and Kane, let Kint understand the image of Keaon in the mind of Agent Kane. As a colleague and investigating Keaton for many years, Inspector Kane's knowledge of Keaton is actually not as good as Kint. Knowing the truth in just a few weeks is exactly what Kint excels in. Kint took advantage of this point, and in subsequent stories, he continued to let the clever Agent Kane gradually strengthen his misunderstanding of Keaton.
The smile of mystery: It is a ruthless ridicule of Kane as well as being confident about the story.
5. The Sao Paulo gem trade triggers manslaughter Sol.
In fact, this is a specially designed to upload the other four people, because Kint knows that "they will not succumb to anyone." So he used the remaining four people to force them to serve him under the dual effects of "fear of ignorance" and the threat of homicide evidence.
6. Fenster's escape accident.
This accident further led Kint to integrate female lawyers into his own bureau, allowing female lawyers to accept extradition of judicial informants controlled by the Hungarians. On the one hand, they threatened Keaton to continue to sell his life, and on the other hand, he provided imagination for blaming him. Space.
7. Kint’s lies
privately believe that most of Kint’s story plots are true. The lies are mainly manifested as:
First, the contents of the boat were tampered with by him. Kint added Kather to the story and degenerated himself into an observer. . It was him who shot Keaton's legs on the tower of the ship. Corresponding to the plot at the beginning of the film, Keaton lost consciousness in his legs, and when he wanted to die with Casa, he was doomed by Caesar.
According to the reminiscence shot described by Kint, he was hiding behind the rope at the time, and the shot of the rope on the ship was once again presented at the end. The camera was zoomed in to allow the audience to watch it carefully. In fact, it was a reminder that no one was hiding behind.
Secondly, he invented his assistant's name "Kobayashi" (cup) (this is a Japanese name, but in the memory of the film, he deliberately asked Kobayashi to speak Japanese English. In fact, his assistant was a British person, and he was indeed a lawyer. The buyer has an explanation), the name of the diamond buyer, who privately believes that what happened to the two men in the story is true. Kint just wants to use this flaw to prove Kane’s stupidity and arrogance.
Classics:
1. Punish the heart—thinking about it is extremely scary, the devil is often under your nose, but you are unaware.
2. Kint's flaws and pompous mockery completely confuses Kane.
Some doubts:
1. As a powerful kind, why is it in danger?
The character may be the reason. Kane hinted at the end that Caesar would personally kill the person who might identify him, and ensure that the people involved in the action will die 100%.
2. The female lawyer was undoubtedly involved in the extradition of the "traitor", but from the detective's dialogue, Agent Cohen casually responded with "Kobayashi", and everyone ignored it. This is not a bug, it is Agent Kane's. Negligence, or that he had subconsciously set Keaton's crime facts in his mind.
3. The whereabouts of the money and why Kint was arrested. The former is actually of little significance, and it is entirely possible that the so-called Kobayashi transported the money away. The latter thought it was due to Kint's self-confidence.
4. As for the political background of Kint, from the description of the traitor’s confession, the name of the politician may also be provided (Inspector Jack mentioned that not only recruited 50 workers, but also more...) For example, Kint acquired used to operate the New York police The senior political officials involved in the lease also need to protect the kind and cover up the incident.
