story is divided into three parts, PART ONE - PART THREE, each short film is separate Tells an independent story: (The following three episodes are copied from the Internet)
Prisoner
Gary (Ryan Reynolds) is a TV star who travels to New York to promote his new series, only to be placed under house arrest in his residence for buying drugs. Margaret (Melissa McCarthy), who is in charge of publicity, lives with him in a producer's house. As time goes on, the relationship between the two grows more ambiguous, and the only neighbor who can connect Gary with the outside world, Sarah (Hope Davis), becomes interested in him. As a series of mysterious events unfold around Gary's side, he begins to suspect that the two women are crocheting the hoax...
Reality show
Gavin (Ryan Reynolds) is a TV producer and the house where Gary was previously imprisoned. It belongs to him. He's buying a paranormal series in New York starring Melissa McCarthy (played by herself). In the pilot, the audience responded well, but I hope Gavin will replace the fat McCarthy and use a more charming actress. Gavin refuses, while network executive Susan (Hope Davis) thinks it's up to audience ratings...
tacitly
, Gabriel (Ryan Reynolds) is a famous video game designer, Driving into the woods with his family and running out of fuel, Gabriel leaves his wife (Melissa McCarthy) and daughter (Elle Fanning) for help. Eventually he meets Sheila (Hope Davis), who makes him abandon his family...
After reading the summary, what do you think? Anyway, I didn't understand what was going on at all. In terms of my IQ, it's hard to understand. The filming was done in a random manner. The three short films were all played by the same actors. Together, the main actors happened to be nine. Revolving around the number nine, whether it is a character, a dice or a space, if God is ten, then the male protagonist is nine - a person who is close to omnipotence. The three stories seem unrelated, but Gary was punished to live in the producer's house, Gavin was a character in the game made by Gabriel, and Gabriel's DV machine showed the film that Gavin shot. The content of the paranormal series...
seems to be the concept of parallel space...this
film does not use cross-narrative, but this kind of storyline makes it difficult to understand what the director is trying to tell us? The names of the characters are all related. The male protagonists all start with G, and the female protagonists all start with M. Three different stories and three different occupations are closely related in parallel spaces. The development of the ending is even more impressive. The hero untied the strap on his wrist, and everything returned to its original state. The heroine found herself in a daze at home, her husband was cooking, and her daughter was no longer deaf. What does the number nine represent?
In the third paragraph of the film, when the child picked up the DV, he said something to his mother: "He won't come back!" What is depressing is that the child can't speak, and has always greeted his mother as a deaf mute. , do not understand, speechless.
Maybe I'm a Chinese, and this film happens to have some American culture in it, so it's baffling.
In the past, I always felt that there were so many difficult films every year, and I didn’t dare to jump to conclusions. Sometimes I felt that this was the director’s brilliant point. Maybe it was too artistic. It’s not surprising that we “mortals” couldn’t understand it, but , This kind of film often has high scores. As an audience, you want to see its mystery, but at the same time it is a torment - it is quite painful to watch it. The director strives to be mysterious, so that the audience can be self-righteous without knowing what to say and think that they have penetrated the inner part of the film. Dawei Lynch has filmed several actors like this before and appeared in different parts, and now the film is more and more. Tends to have multiple stories in one movie - seemingly unrelated, but at the end of the movie, they are inextricably linked together, which makes people realize that this move may make an audience completely lose the fun of watching the movie... …
Anyway, I didn't understand it. If there are experts, I hope to give pointers.
