This story tells the story of a playwright Marty who is writing a screenplay for a movie called "The Seven Perverts", but he drinks heavily all day and lives a decadent life for no reason. And there is no inspiration, except for the title, the entire script has no whereabouts. He has a girlfriend who's not in a relationship, and Billy, a friend who messes up. It is this Billy who constantly inspires him, so the story of the seven perverts alternates between reality and fantasy, culminating in the appearance of the seventh pervert with his diary. Then the plot took a turn for the worse. The three escaped from the gang and drove to a desert. Suddenly everything slowed down. They set up a tent and lit a bonfire, and then the three began to think about the script again, thinking about how the story should end. .
Since the protagonist is a playwright, knowing a little about the principles of play is the key to understanding the movie. Most of the blockbuster movies are classic plots, stimulated by various external conflicts. We love watching classic plot type movies because we all think and live that way. It fits our mindset. In contrast to this, there are also simple plots, which are mainly reflected in various literary and artistic films, with large sections of lyrical but less plots; and anti-plots, which break all plots, some high-IQ suspense films are especially about schizophrenia or something. I really like this way of telling a story.
In the first half of the film, the plot is compact, but rather the events are urgent, and the connection between several stories is not close. Moreover, it is a perverted story, and it uses an anti-plot design, otherwise I will be sorry for the title. But the second half became a simple plot. The difference between the two styles is very uncomfortable. This is exactly what the director did. In the final analysis, he is a film of inner conflict with a pared-back plot told in an anti-plot. Yes, talk about a nonviolent subject in a violent way. Certainly not the love and peace that Marty is talking about in the movie... (Idiot Prince again in my head).
At the beginning of the story, Marty is alcoholic and decadent. At the end of the story, Marty is still unhappy. He lost a person who loved him the most, a person who helped him write the script and let him understand that life itself is the source of the story, and a true interpretation of perversion. Where will Marty's life go in the future? He understands the meaning of life. .
Remember the opening song?
The angel of death
Will come from the sky
And claim you poor soul
When the time comes to die
And, I remember, Billy said to him in the desert "I love you, man." Marty replied "I love you too.”
