"When you hear the bell ringing public telephone booths, how would you do? You know for sure that someone wrong, but instinct may prompt you to answer the call."
This is my limited look at the history of the most special of a slice The movie "Sniper Phone Booth" basically revolves around a phone. The phone is a prop, he is the only protagonist, the mysterious person on the other end of the phone is the director, and everyone else plays supporting roles, and the bustling streets of New York are the set for him.
A phone call can make people in the whole city sensational, dispatch the most powerful local police force, make all snipers powerless, make decryption experts dumb, and make the audience wow.
There's a phone call throughout the movie, that's what makes this movie unique, and you're probably surprised by the magic of this phone call. What made him unable to hang up the phone and walk away. In fact, the reason why the person who masters everything is not all the sniper rifle in his hand, but because he has mastered the deepest weakness of human nature, that is, the soft underbelly.
There are too many movie reviews about this classic movie, but I think this movie actually exposes and punishes the darkness of human nature. The person on the other end of the phone may be the director, maybe God, maybe the closest person around you, Maybe it's who you are in your heart.
The protagonist of the film, Stu, has a black suit, purple shirt, fashionable hairstyle, and a famous watch looming at the cuffs (which turned out to be fake later). In the film, he is a handsome guy with Italian style. He also works in a glamorous occupation, called an advertising agent. Every day, he spends his time with many people with good looks, good voice, and first-class acting skills. Many people rely on him to eat, such as the one next to him who helps him carry things and answer the phone. lad.
This man may seem glamorous, but he is also one of the most ordinary people in this world. He keeps working hard every day to make his life better; he loves beauty and dresses himself up with his own money; he has a happy family and a wife who loves him; he has a little girl he likes named Pan; In one sentence, it is a mistake that men all over the world will make; the explanation of the protagonist in the movie is: as if you have a beautiful manor, but occasionally you want to live in a luxury hotel.
The world never needs explanation. Explanation is a cover-up.
On the day the story happened, after he was done, he took his assistant away. He came to the phone booth on the street, took off his wedding ring, and called the girl he liked. He had an idea. Although it was not explicit, the meaning was very clear. He was afraid that he would be sorry for his wife, so when he called, he took off the wedding ring on his index finger. He is bossy to everyone, and when faced with the girl he loves and the idea of ​​not getting what he wants, he acts like a boy in first love. All appearances, in his view, are so beautiful.
If it weren't for this call, life would go on. He will use the young man beside him cheaply, use his interpersonal relationship to get more orders, and he can also use his "smartness" and "handsomeness" to enjoy the blessings of everyone.
But unfortunately, he took that call.
Simply define the mysterious figure on the other end of the phone as the punisher of human nature.
Punisher knows Stu's seven inches: at first, he threatens to tell his wife about Stu and Pan, which is very difficult for a man who wants to share the blessings of everyone but doesn't want to lose his family. In other words, nothing beats blows. The reason why he called the phone booth was because he was afraid that his wife would check the address book of his mobile phone, and the public phone solved this problem very well.
The truth was revealed, and the wife did not blame him. So seven inches changed, and the sniper rifle on the other end of the phone aimed at his head. But if you shoot, you won't have to play later, it's just a shooting case. The director arranged for three prostitutes to use the phone, but they were frequently rejected. Those big breasts and fat buttocks that were open outside did not play the usual "attraction" role, so they found a fat man, the "Big Mac". "In order to show off a few women with bare chests and buttocks, he ended up being a scapegoat and blocked a shot for Stu. The Punisher clearly told Stu that the muzzle of the gun was above his head, and as long as he did not obey his orders, he would immediately follow the same path as others.
Just when he was about to collapse and just wanted to die quickly, Qi Cun was transferred to his beloved woman. I forgot his wife's name, a virtuous woman, at this moment she doesn't blame her husband for eating and looking at the pot, but she is worried and confused. In fact, all of them were confused and called Kuanglao in Chongqing dialect. All the people don't know what happened, what happened. Only the man behind the sniper rifle with an encrypted phone and a deep voice controls everything with aplomb. Precisely because he knew where Stu's "Seven Inch" was, he kept using these to threaten him to answer the phone.
After "The end", I let out a long sigh. The director is so annoying
