Who's the visitor?

How complicated can the heart of a forty-five-year-old middle-aged man be? How complicated can the heart of an actress in her twenties be? When two hearts meet, how much can the fight that happens? On the surface, it was you who visited me, but in fact it was you who violated me and controlled me, but in the end you realized that it was you who was violated and it was me who violated me. Who's the visitor? Who killed whom? who toyed with whom? In the eyes of the audience, it's not you, it's not me, everyone has been deeply hurt, and everyone has paid for it. When the creator focuses the spotlight of the camera on one point, on one scene, a bland interview suddenly becomes the most terrifying thing in the world, and human relationships suddenly become the cruelest relationship in the world. This story is probably the best story I've seen this month. Steve Buscemi can come up with such a movie, not very simple.

In the United States, there is no shortage of actors like Anthony Hopkins, T-Bag can be a big hit, and Steve Buscemi is one of them. However, the latter two are basically unable to play the leading role. Their evil spirits, only when they are supporting roles, will they bring out the horror of the whole scene little by little in the dark corners. But Steve Buscemi doesn't admit it. Compared with T-Bag, he is a Hollywood first-line supporting actor who has been popular for many years. TV actors like T-Bag, no matter how popular you are, are also sweeping garbage in the Hollywood film circle. So Steve Buscemi can take a self-directed movie, and T-Bag probably never will.

The most curious thing about the movie "Interview" is how much did he spend? I have always had a perpetual longing for low-budget movies, especially the low-cost way of determining the structure of the story, which really kills two birds with one stone. "Interview" is about the limit of this type. How many scenes are there in total? Roughly speaking, there are about five or so, one in the actor's house, one in the restaurant, one or two on the street, one in the room where the heroine first appeared, and one in the heroine's home. It's gone, and 95% of the plot Focused on one scene, almost like a one-act play. How does a movie like this tell a story? What's the story? If I told you about a war theme, you would not believe it. Yes, that's what makes this movie so special. The scenes are all in the dialogue, all in the protagonist's spiritual battlefield. Steve Buscemi got such a great script, I don't know if he slept well that night.

Whatever it is, Steve Buscemi's money is saved, but his hard work doesn't, and it has to cost a fortune. Speaking of which, the battle of the century between the hero and heroine, the twists and turns, the roaring of knives and guns, you come and go, the blood may not be as bloody as the Verdun meat grinder, but it is also comparable to the eighteen changes of hands at the Stalingrad railway station. . Steve Buscemi has to show, in only a few scenes, a war correspondent who travels the world, dealing with the news media under the partisan struggle in Washington for decades, basically losing his sense of morality and humanity, and after being abandoned to the brink, he faces For his wife and daughter who was tortured to death, there may be only a trace of remorse in his heart, but when he faces a little actress who he thinks is worthless, such an interview task arouses him to have no shame at all. The desire to steal and control has betrayed that trace of conscience, in exchange for more complete failure and depravity. Steve Buscemi basically did not miss any of these inner qualities. It can be said that from the very beginning, his face was deeply filled with a complex character. At the end of the movie, when Steve Buscemi understands everything downstairs, his expression of despair and bleakness, in one aspect, reaches the extreme condensed in the sense of drama.
