Synopsis
Adam is a university history teacher. Although he has a beautiful girlfriend, his life is still untidy and lifeless. When a colleague saw him like this, he recommended him to watch a movie, hoping to help him. The film is average and doesn't have much of an impressive plot, let alone helpful in life.
However, Adam suddenly found that a dragon role in the film looked very similar to himself. It's kind of funny, the cast says the actor's name is Anthony. So Adam found the actor through a search engine and wrote down his work location and phone number.
On the weekends, he came to the building where Anthony worked, wanting to see him in person. But the security guard at the front desk mistook him for Anthony. Adam was even more surprised. Are there really two people who are so similar in this world?
Although he didn't see him in the mansion, Adam didn't give up and decided to call Anthony's house. But Anthony was not at home. It was his wife who answered the phone. What was even more strange was that even his wife mistakenly heard Adam's voice as Anthony's. what on earth is it? It's just that two people look alike, don't they have the same voice?
Later, Adam called again, this time Anthony answered. After a tense conversation, the two met at a hotel on the outskirts of the city on Sunday. When it came time to meet, Adam went as promised, but his mood was very complicated.
Because he didn't know what was going to happen next. Anthony soon also arrived at the agreed place. Strangely, the two found that the other party was wearing nothing but clothes. Looks, hairstyle, beard, even the scars on the body are exactly the same...
Video Analysis
The film is adapted from the novel "Double Face", which tells the story of a history teacher who accidentally discovered that an actor in the film looked exactly like himself and sought the truth. The male protagonist Jake Gyllenhaal is my favorite actor. I know him quite late. When "Source Code" was released, I started to have a deep impression on him, and then chased some of his works, such as "Death Illusion" ", "Zodiac", "Nightcrawler", "Prisoner", etc., he gave me the feeling that he was very close to the role, and each completely different role was easy to do, and in this film, he played two roles, His acting skills have also maintained his usual high standard.
To be honest, the overall look and feel of the film is a bit boring, the dim picture makes people drowsy, and the extremely slow rhythm makes people want to fast-forward, and it doesn't start to be interesting until half an hour near the end, which reminds me of The work of David Lynch, the same obscure, the same slow pace. However, this film is a bit easier to understand than David Lynch's imaginative, and the main line is still very clear. As long as we understand the meaning of the spider that runs through the beginning and end of the film, I believe it is not difficult to understand this film.
In order to better interpret the movie, the following article contains key plots. It is recommended to read the movie after watching the movie. My understanding of spiders is desire. For the male protagonist in the film, it is his desire to cheat. So the real story in the film should be like this: Anthony is a third-rate actor. Although he has a beautiful wife, he cheated. , 6 months ago, his wife was pregnant. Under the pressure of all parties, he gave up his career as an actor and started a stable life as a teacher of the history department. However, the desire in his heart intensified, so he began to sneak in and out of pornographic places, but every time his desire was vented, he felt more guilt towards his wife, and thus he gradually began to fantasize about schizophrenia.
The spider first appeared in the title sequence. In the pornographic scene, the beautiful woman trampled a small spider to death, and then the camera moved to the exterior of the city. There is a metaphor of returning to reality after venting desire. The second appearance is more than an hour in the film, a very large spider appears in the sky above the city, and this time it appears before Anthony personality decides to have Adam's personality girlfriend, metaphorically, the desire to cheat is growing. The last time it appears is at the end of the credits, when Adam's personality decides to live a good life, he suddenly sees the key to open the door to the porn scene, which rekindles his desire to cheat. I think the size of the spider also represents the intensity of the male lead's desire.
In fact, everyone has desires, and many people have thought about cheating. The film perfectly interprets the process of human desire changes through the psychological activities of the male protagonist. The same is true in reality, people will do wrong things when their desires are too strong to be suppressed, but they will regret after doing the wrong things, and the guilt in their hearts will make them want to make up for their lover, just like Adam's personality at the end of the film. state, but desire will regenerate, which makes people fall into infinite reincarnation and cannot extricate themselves.
As a result, the protagonist in the film has a dual personality. Anthony's personality is stylishly dressed, riding a motorcycle, symbolizing passion, but also a betrayal personality. Adam's suit and shoes, driving a car, symbolizing tradition, and also a guilty personality. In reality, many Don't people just repeat in betrayal and guilt? So I think what the film wants to tell us is that desire is nothing but a terrifying spider. If people can't restrain their desires, they will eventually kill themselves. Isn't Anthony's fate a warning?
In addition to the short-lived pleasure, venting desire may be more likely to be guilt and regret.
