"Shadow Writer", like a shadow

"Waking up from a dream is the end, at most it is full of enlightenment, and the end with a sword kill is the coldness in the back."


Since childhood, I have been very curious, and if I see something new, I will definitely use it to shake it, and beat the transparent glass small. Cars, smashing the lid of an electric hot pot, tearing off the pull tab of a Mercedes lighter, and being photographed by my father's bicycle countless times...

I wonder why a hotel room with a four-digit number can't live in it? In an old house, why does one room have the door permanently locked? How does an island imprison a skilled police detective or a neurotic, a housewife looking for a husband or a ghost that can't go away? How to perform a teleportation magic? When is a stranger lurking in your own home?

If you want to understand the whole story of these things, you don't need to go over the "Great Wall" (GFW), you don't need to jump to the server, you don't need to use a search engine, and it doesn't even take you a long time, two hours or two or three days.

Just sit there, explore with your eyes, travel with your brain, let your ears stay in the dialogue, and see how big the world is, how deep people are, how clever the layout is, and how wonderful the mystery is.

Some people also think that it doesn't even need to be extraordinary, as long as the person is not stupid, he can basically understand the general plot.


This film first talks about starring Ewan McGrady, who became a Jedi master in addition to the "Star Wars" trilogy, and watching his other works is simply outrageous. In addition to being independent is brain-burning, anyway, there is no serious thing, the tyrannical carp dragon in "Big Fish", the cropped pants in "Life and Death", the clone in "Escape from the Clone Island", "Murder with Eyes" Friends of Neuropathy in . Even in "Star Wars Prequel", Darth Vader, the Darth Vader, was cultivated and released by this fellow.

Then is the most famous DOUBLE O SEVEN, 007 Brosnan and his "good" daughter-in-law.

The film contains a mysterious soundtrack, absurd events, and the cause of the story seems strange. Coupled with the starring Ivan who "plays a ghost" all day long, the viewing process seems to be a process of finding the north. The cause of the incident is covered by clouds and fog. The plot is illusory, and sometimes it's impossible to tell whether it's really happening or the main character is dreaming. This feeling of being on the ground is very similar to "Life and Death", but the difference is also obvious. This film is more straightforward, like An unsheathed sword, not a dreamer.

Awakening from a dream is the end, at most it is full of enlightenment, and a sword kill is the end, and it is the coldness in the back.


In the final minutes of the film, the mystery of the story is revealed and the fate of the protagonist is revealed.

What are those discrete events, strange passers-by, lurking. The slightly dull main line was pierced by an unprecedented high-energy ending, only to discover that every previous scene, every dialogue, every plot was the cold light of the sword when it was unsheathed. It's been through all along.

It's just that this secret, hidden deep and scattered like strands, disappeared forever and scattered in the wind.

In order to preserve the fun of watching the movie, the drama will not be revealed.


After watching the movie, you can come back to see the details below, whether it is worth recalling.

Who and why snatched the manuscript at the beginning of the film.

A person whom the manuscript should mention many times, but very little.

The old man who revealed the ocean current and the woman who fell down the steps, who went to find them after the writer returned to the house, and their previous experiences.

The protagonist of his autobiography, who the Prime Minister of Great Britain likes to hear.

And the future direction of that person was also revealed in the conversation with the writer.

It also helps to deepen the impression before watching the movie and facilitate guessing.

    Political suspense and horror, the weather has never been clear from beginning to end, it has been gloomy. Polanski is very good at this kind of subject matter, with a good ending

  • Trudie 2022-03-23 09:01:48

    A very "Polanski" political suspense film. Most of the film lays out details and suspense like Polanski's earlier works, and analyzes the psychological state of the male protagonist; the last part is used to decipher and reveal the truth. Polanski made a certain compromise in the face of business, but still retained his own style. The editing, photography and soundtrack performances are excellent. It is a good psychological suspense film.
