The main content of the film is the process of a small screenwriter adapting a book called "Orchid Thief". The screenwriter needed to adapt the book into a movie, so the content of the book was included in the author's life. It's a bit of a drama. The book is written by a female reporter and tells the story of her and an orchid thief looking for a ghost orchid. At the end of the film, the screenwriter meets the female reporter and finds that the real situation is not what the female reporter wrote. The content in the previous books and the images presented in the film are fictitious and non-existent. The former deceived the screenwriter, and the latter deceived the audience. And the final ending also makes the audience feel that the screenwriter in the play has designed it long ago.
The protagonists of the film are a pair of twin brothers, one introverted, cautious, shy, the other extroverted, enthusiastic, and likes to be funny. I will call the former one the elder brother and the latter one the younger brother. The elder brother cares about what others think of him before doing things, and the younger brother only does what he likes to do. In the latter part of the film, the two male protagonists talk to each other at the moment of life and death, and understand the thoughts of both parties. The introverted brother finally opens his heart and begins to be a new self, but his brother stays forever because of the accident in the escape. in the forest. I think this pair of brothers also represent two types of people in our lives. Some people are cautious and fearful, for fear that their own faults will lead to discrimination by others and loss of their own interests, but it is these habits that bind their hearts. Make yourself unable to face the world frankly, make others look down on you because of your lack of self-confidence and cowardice, and thus lose something that should belong to you; some people are bold and cheerful, face life positively, enjoy The fun of getting along with relatives, lovers, and friends, doing what you want to do, not caring what others think, and not wanting to be different from others, just because you like it. The former is a weak side that exists in everyone's heart, while the latter is an ideal personality based on an ordinary and beautiful life. Although we all have our own personalities and values, we might as well be more enthusiastic, more tolerant, and more unfettered in our lives.
The pictures and music of the film have created a somewhat monotonous and boring space for us, but as long as it is dressed up, it can become a relaxed, humorous and colorful space of light and shadow. In the film, we can see a lot of vibrant tropical plants. These scenes that symbolize vitality have been accompanied by the stories of female reporters and orchid thieves, but in the end, the pictures accompanying them have become dark and terrifying. At the beginning, my brother spent 60% of his time writing in a narrow and dim room, which set off the depression and pain in his heart, but at the end of the film, the picture suddenly became brighter, in sharp contrast with the previous one, which also means that the screenwriter has opened up his heart, Start taking your life lightly and naturally. I really like the song "happy together" in the film. This is a relaxed, inspirational song with a slightly bohemian character. It is very suitable to be used in this film. The lively and catchy melody is also in line with the seemingly complicated but simple plot of the film, which highlights the theme of the film - cheerful, happy, unrestrained, and full of enthusiasm.
