Combined with the reasoning of loved ones, I even studied the film well last night.
Regarding the monologue of the male protagonist at the beginning of the film, I often agree with the view that "it is the subconscious personality who speaks to the superficial personality". In this monologue -
"You don't remember how it started, but you should be able to guess how it all ended."
"You wake up with the most beautiful thing you've ever seen in your life. girl. " "
you only know you love her, it is true that you are willing to do anything for her. fool! " "
do you think you can save her? do you think you can save yourself? "
Most people telling their own When speaking, it will not be this tone and logic. There are several other places in the film where the male protagonist's voice is like the opening monologue, which sounds more depressing than normal, such as the sentence "Painful honeymoon, huh?!" . There is no doubt that the male protagonist has a split personality.
The superficial personality of the male protagonist is an infatuated type who repeatedly falls in love with the blonde girl at first sight, but every sexual encounter ends with "don't dare to do anything and watch the two part ways"; while the subconscious personality of the male protagonist is a pervert. Murderer, whose criminal model is to take the blond beauty to the desert, and then kill and bury the body. The subconscious personality exploits and deceives the surface personality. The superficial personality hunts for beauty, and the subconscious personality commits murder and burial without the knowledge of the superficial personality.
Then he talked about the strange man who appeared when the male protagonist was buying coffee. The male protagonist heard the strange man say something inexplicable to him, but we can see on the screen that the man did not move his lips at all. Some Qiang Yin suggested that those words were actually said by the old Indian chief who guarded the land to the male protagonist. I think it is very possible (but there is no way to prove it). Later in the film, the identity of the unknown man is revealed to be a police detective. It can be seen that the police detectives have been eyeing the male protagonist in the cafe at the beginning, because the male protagonist is a suspect in the murder of several blondes (of course, the superficial consciousness of the male protagonist does not know that he committed the crime).
Next
, let’s talk about a few key questions: 1. When was the heroine killed by the hero?
Let's start with the two of them on the road. Everyone must still remember that at the beginning, the heroine fell asleep and fell asleep in the passenger seat (at this time, the hero's imagination had not yet begun, and the audience saw the real scene). Then there was a flash of lightning in the air, and a moth hit the car window. After the lightning is a distant view. When the camera returns to the car, the female protagonist is awake and sits beside the male protagonist. At this time, the male protagonist's imagination has begun. Take the lightning as the dividing line:
before the lightning, the heroine is asleep, which is the real reality; after the lightning, the heroine sits beside the hero. From this moment, including the next dialogue between the heroine and the hero, as well as the masturbation of the heroine's YD, and then meeting and killing Bloodyface, until the short dispute between the two caused by the killing of Bloodyface by the hero, during What happened was all the hallucinations of the male protagonist (that is, YY in the usual sense). The real reality during that time was probably that the female protagonist was sleeping until the male protagonist drove the car into the wilderness to wake the female protagonist and kill her. The evidence is as follows:
1. Bloodyface and the male protagonist are the same person at all (a bit clear at the end), it is impossible for the female protagonist to be with the male protagonist and meet another male protagonist. The interaction between the female protagonist and Bloodyface is impossible, it can only be imagined by the male protagonist.
2. Since falling asleep and "waking up", the heroine's words and deeds have gradually developed in the direction of "hypocritical stripper and poisonous woman" (囧), and from time to time she makes very strange expressions. It is easy for the audience to mistake this change as "the real face of the heroine gradually emerges", but in fact, all this is all the imagination made by the hero under the subconscious manipulation. As for why the subconscious mind creates this kind of conjecture, this will be discussed later.
3. The metaphor of lightning. Some people say that lightning represents entering a lost area similar to the Bermuda Triangle, and I agree with both hands and feet! Before the lightning, the heroine fell asleep, but after the lightning she suddenly woke up. This is actually a transition from reality to a scene made up by the hero. Lightning implies that in this time and space, common sense will be subverted.
Having said so much, it's finally time for the heroine to be killed by the hero.
It is said that the car was parked in the wasteland, the male protagonist stoned Bloodyface to death, the female protagonist was terrified, and the two argued. Next, notice this plot:
Originally, the two were discussing the issue of burial. The male protagonist grabbed the female protagonist's arm and spoke excitedly, and then the male protagonist walked to the left side of the camera. At this moment, the female protagonist suddenly leaned against the car door in horror, looked forward in disbelief, shouted "This isn't happening..This can't be happening...", and leaned back sharply. This moment is a real scene. It was here that the heroine was killed.
Then very suddenly, the male protagonist's head appeared in the camera with a gorgeous expression... At this time, the female protagonist can be seen calmly leaning against the car door. In fact, the heroine is already dead, this is just the heroine in the hero's fantasy. Next, the heroine came to help lift the corpse or something, all of which were the imagination of the hero. What about the evidence? The evidence is in a small detail that is easily overlooked - the
male protagonist uses his blood-stained hands to hold the female protagonist's arm and speak excitedly (I don't remember what he said), and after the hand is released, the female protagonist's left arm has The blood left by the hero. There is blood!
The male protagonist let go of his hand and walked away, and then the female protagonist leaned against the car door in horror, shouting in disbelief, "This isn't happening..." At this time, there was no blood on the female protagonist's left arm. Look carefully, there is no blood!
The male protagonist's head appeared gorgeously in the camera, the female protagonist leaned against the car door calmly, and then walked over to carry the body like a puppet. At this time, the blood on the female protagonist's left arm appeared again!
This is not a bug, but the alternate result of the male protagonist's illusion-reality-illusion. The short-lived reality is that the female protagonist leaned against the car door and was killed by the male protagonist.
Two, chaos... Then let's sort out the real reality!
In general, the reality is: the male protagonist carries the thirteenth target, the female protagonist, across the desert, kills the female protagonist in the wilderness, and then buries in a junkyard with many cars parked (those cars must be the male protagonist). abandoned in the wilderness when he killed his previous wives).
And all of this appears to the male protagonist's superficial personality—
The male protagonist carries his new wife, the female protagonist, across the desert. The male protagonist feels that the female protagonist is not as "serious" as he knew before. On the road, the two rescued Bloodyface, who overturned the car. Bloodyface said some inexplicable words. The male protagonist suspected that the female protagonist had an innocent relationship with Bloodyface. After that, Bloodyface attacked the male protagonist, and the male protagonist accidentally killed Bloodyface. The two decided to bury the body. During the process of burying the corpse of the two, the various performances of the heroine (such as proposing to cut off the head of the corpse) made the hero more convinced that the heroine is not a good thing. So the male protagonist looked at the female protagonist's bag and found a pistol. After the burial, the two went to a rest stop, and the male protagonist found that his watch had fallen on the burial site. The female protagonist is unwilling to return to the scene with the male protagonist to find a watch, and even abandons the male protagonist. The great male protagonist used his true love to keep the female protagonist, returned the pistol to her for self-defense, and returned to the burial site alone, only to find that the corpse was gone. Then the gunshots rang out, and when the male protagonist rushed back to the rest station, the female protagonist had already been killed. The male protagonist determined that it was Bloodyface who came here to kill the female protagonist, and asked the police who met on the road for help.
I can't help but praise: The male protagonist is so talented...
I mentioned a question before: Why does the male protagonist's subconscious make up such a big plot? That's because the subconscious wants to deceive the superficial consciousness and make a reasonable explanation for the ending of the heroine's death.
Obviously, the male protagonist killed the female protagonist himself, but the subconscious made the superficial consciousness think: the female protagonist had a gun in her bag, and Bloodyface used this gun to kill the female protagonist. Of course, Bloodyface does not exist, or it can be said that Bloodyface and the male protagonist are the same person (some people call Bloodyface an "advanced version of the superficial personality" of the male protagonist), but the subconscious of the male protagonist has created such a role, let him replace the male protagonist Become the culprit in the murder of the heroine.
Judging from the fact that the male protagonist returned to the rest area after hearing the "gunshot", there was only one mobile phone on the table, and the pistol was actually the product of the male protagonist YY. (Using a mobile phone as a pistol? It's yours!) The first time the male protagonist went to the rest area, what he saw was an illusion; when he heard the sound of gunfire and returned to the rest area, what he saw was reality: an old car covered with dust, a dim Street lights, cell phones on the table, these are the reality. In addition, there was a short-lived reality when digging a pit to bury Bloodyface's body, and when the male protagonist returned to the burial place to find the watch:
The male protagonist returned to the car to check the female protagonist's bag. The female protagonist squatted on the ground to fill in the pit, the male protagonist turned on the headlights, and suddenly the female protagonist disappeared. There was only a dug hole on the ground. In the wilderness, there are only the male protagonist, the male protagonist's car, and a hole dug. This is the reality. Then the female protagonist appeared strangely in the co-pilot position in the car, and it was already a reappearance at this time.
After that, the male protagonist returned here to look for the watch, and saw that there was only one hole dug on the ground, the male protagonist shouted: I have already killed you... This is also one of the short-lived realities.
It can be seen that there is no Bloodyface from beginning to end.
In the imagination, the male protagonist rescued a disfigured bastard who had an affair with his wife; in reality, the wife was sleeping beside him until she was awakened and killed;
in the imaginary, the male protagonist buried Bloodyface's body In the wilderness; the reality is that the male protagonist drove into the wilderness, woke up and killed the female protagonist, dug a hole in the ground, and neither filled it nor put anything in it.
In the imagination, Bloodyface killed the female protagonist at the rest stop; in reality, the male protagonist carried the female protagonist's body to the place where he had buried her many times before, and buried the female protagonist there. The evidence is that the police found the male protagonist’s watch here (the male protagonist found that the watch was missing when washing his hands, and thought it was dropped where the Bloodyface was buried. However, in fact, there is indeed a case of missing the watch, but it was dropped by the male protagonist and buried. the scene of the heroine's body).
Almost forgot, there was a short-lived reality: the
police carried the female lead's body out of the soil, and the male lead was in the police car. From the male lead's point of view, the camera featured the body twice, wearing different clothes. The first time was wearing a pink long-sleeved shirt. That was put on by the heroine at the rest stop. But the second time I looked at the corpse, it was the white suspender skirt that I wore at the beginning. The second time is reality. The two came to the rest station together, and the heroine also changed her clothes. This is just the imagination of the hero. And the reality is: as early as in the wilderness, the heroine was killed by the hero when she was still wearing a white suspender skirt.
3. At the end of the film, the male protagonist becomes Bloodyface.
This, I understand that the male protagonist has passed through - the male protagonist returns to before killing the female protagonist with all his memories.
Most of the time in the film, the main consciousness of the male protagonist is dominated by the superficial personality. The second subconscious personality cunningly concealed the fact of killing and burying the corpse from the superficial personality. Until the police showed conclusive evidence, the superficial personality of the male protagonist was finally blurred. He realized that he had killed the female lead; after the car overturned, the male lead's subject consciousness was like a soul possessed, "attached" to the advanced version of the superficial personality - Bloodyface. When the male protagonist gets into the car driven by another "self" who doesn't know anything about it, he finds that everything is a terrifying reincarnation. Only by killing the "self" who is driving can the end be possible...
