The movie "Secret Meeting" was made quite frugally. The main scene was an apartment, and 95% of the shots were shot. The set of this apartment is also quite economical, not using any expensive and luxurious guys, of course, the taste is still good. The high-end items that appeared on the show included a bottle of Scotch whisky and a bottle of bourbon, but it was probably filled with grape juice that didn't cost a lot of money, and it was also exchanged with cool white wine. After watching that half of the apple for a few seconds, I probably earned some advertising fees and subsidized subsidies. That's not counting. Basically, this film has only two actors, one male and one female. Oh, it's actually one.
It's such a cheap movie, it's pretty good, and it's really embarrassing. The topic between men and women can never be finished. "Secret Meeting" spent 90 minutes talking about this matter, and it's not bad. This film is not so much a movie as it is a stage play. It is only driven by the plot of the dialogue, and almost all the material between sex, quarrel, passion, touching, deception... Tension, reasonable and natural, it shows that chef and main course Steve Buscemi is indeed old and strong, and his skills are extraordinary.
A popular beauty star, an out-of-date war correspondent, their encounter - to borrow a phrase from Dadaism - "is as beautiful as an umbrella and a sewing machine on the operating table touching each other". These two absolutely different people reflect each other. Through simple dialogues and well-designed small bridges, they express men and women, yin and yang, youth and twilight, heroes and girls, love and violence. , Politics and Entertainment, Glory and Tears, Sympathy and Betrayal… Contradictory themes you can stretch infinitely. With such a simple story reflecting such a cramped and paradoxical huge world, the extraordinary artist's handwriting of the film "Secret Meeting" taught Hollywood a lesson and told them the truth of "Less is More". Remember, there was a movie about a man and a woman, not only Pete and Roberts, but also helicopters and missiles?
It's hard to predict how different audiences will perceive the film, which is another good topic for intersubjectivity. What does Pierre's wry smile mean at the end of the play? Is this film about the suffering of men? Scars, bombs, politics, brothers, dead daughters and wives, career pressures, ruthless bosses (edited)... This male slowly and unconsciously disarms, showing his misery in a blooming rose In front of us, when we began to be infected by his haggard appearance and torn heart, why did our roses harvest only a cruel joke?
Or, is this film about the tragedy of women? What it wants to show is that a woman who is objectified, worshipped, and consumed is full of boredom and pain? At the end of the film, as soon as Pierre walked out of the apartment door, he immediately broke his oath and used her pain (cancer) as the capital to make a comeback. This shows the falseness and utilitarianism of men, doesn't it?
Or, is the film about the indifference of capitalism? Is it about the alienation of people and the impossibility of communication between people? Or on the contrary, this film praises the soft soul of modern people wrapped in a strong appearance and a cold expression, and praises the drowning in quarrels and ridicule, power With the slightest tenderness under the struggle?
Kundera said, "Every answer is a trap for fools."
Now, you answer it.
