Reminiscent of the last article of the Van Dyne 20 Code:
"...These methods have been used badly. A mystery novelist who understands self-respect will usually not use it again, because all mystery fans are very familiar with these methods. This method can’t be more familiar. If anyone uses it, it means admitting his own ignorance and lack of creativity...." (A number of storytelling techniques are listed later.) After
watching the movie, I couldn’t help but think angrily. It’s really time to add a "multiple personality" at the end. It’s in the 21st century. If you have the courage to play this trick, how can you play something new...
Although this code is for mystery, But if I switch to a movie, my disgust will be even stronger. Many novels themselves are excellent but cannot be moved to the screen, or they will change their flavor as soon as they are uploaded. The reason is that those amazing plots and tricks can only survive in the text. , Cannot be expressed through the picture. The "personality split" method unfortunately belongs to the above "distortion" category in my opinion. If someone has both A and B personalities, the novel can sometimes be narrated from the perspective of A, sometimes Starting from the psychology of B... From the reader's point of view, it seems that they are describing two different people; in the end, it turns out that they are just different psychological aspects of the same person. If the film wants to show multiple personalities, it is not to restart the chapter and change the chapter. "I" can be solved at the beginning. It is necessary to create specific images of different personalities so that the audience can see what they say and do; Finally, it is explained that the black hair wearing a bowler hat and the yellow hair wearing glasses are actually A person.... Of course, when reviewing the movie, you can interpret the scenes of B in the movie as a phantom seen through A’s eyes, saying that he does not actually exist. But at least for me, and in the novel The change of narrative angle or other descriptive tricks are different, which makes us "witness" in the film.The two people (or N people) who have arrived, who have been substantiated, whose appearance, name, accent, address, and living habits are completely different to say that they are one, are tantamount to deceiving the audience... It is the same as a five-dollar gold coin, which is a false statement."
Of course, whether it's this Secret Window or other similar split personality movies, no one has guaranteed that they are inference movies, or all realistic content. What's more, this is an adaptation of Stephen King, not Ellerique. Yin’s work: So it’s understandable to see it as a horror movie, a supernatural movie, and there is no question of truth, fairness and unfairness. However, watching such a movie without knowing it still feels somewhat foolish. I feel a bit regretful and disappointed.
Finally, I like the close-up shot of EQMM. It made me a little excited^^
Finally, why so many comments in the front have leaked the mystery of the film but did not give "the key plot revealed" Hint? This will make people who want to watch this film but haven't watched it very frustrating...
