When I watched this film, I didn’t have any expectations and I didn’t understand much. After watching it, I realized that this film was a little difficult to understand, so I searched the Internet to find a ready-made explanation, but I found that there was no reliable one. So I read it again, I think I understand it, and I have more experience. Some people say that the style of this film is a bit like "Inception". I think that except for the fact that reality and dreams are difficult to separate, the overall style is definitely quite different. Inception has a strong sense of overallity. Assuming, the rest is logical, and the story of "Memories of Suffering" is a bit messy and constantly interspersed. The essence lies in the details. Because the director used a method of combining virtual and real, so if you want to solve the puzzle, if there are "Shutter Island" and "Shutter Island" If you have the experience of "Deadly ID", you will get twice the result with half the effort. In order to solve the puzzle, we must first confirm the authenticity of these characters, that is, whether all the protagonists are real, or whether one or several of them are fictional in a dream (Quan and will be called after hypnosis). dream). The male No. 1 Simon, this is definitely a real person. The evidence is that after he reunited with Elizabeth because of Frank searching for his memory, Elizabeth Internet Google googled his recent situation (23 minutes and 35 seconds), a total of two news introductions. One is that the police are investigating the auctioneer, and the other is that the whereabouts of the witch in the sky are unknown. The content includes reports that Simon was hit on the head to protect the painting, and there are photos of him, so it is defined as: true. Frank No. 2: Throughout the film, there is no strong evidence to prove that he is real. Every time he goes to Simon, it is Knight who talks, so he never appears in the surveillance of Simon's house. Therefore, it is temporarily defined as pending. The female No. 1 Elizabeth often appears outside the story, and also has photos and contact numbers on the web page, so it is defined as: The three real robbers: Among them, Knight appeared in the surveillance video of Simon's house , so defined as: true. Unknown dead woman: The one in the trunk of the red vehicle, because of her appearance, it is the most chaotic moment of the story, it is more complicated, so the authenticity needs to be tested, so it is defined as: pending Auction house owner: took pictures in the hospital with Simon , and the auction house must have a boss, so the definition is: true. Let's sort out the plot: The surface plot is that Elizabeth once had a vigorous love affair with Simon, but due to Simon's suspiciousness and violence, Elizabeth was hit hard, so she used hypnosis to make him forget herself when she was with him. At the same time, he was given a task of stealing a painting as his own commemoration and compensation. After being hypnotized Simon received the task and knew that he could not complete it alone, so he asked Frank to echo it. The painting, in order to prevent exposure, so he shocked Frank, but Frank was fine and hit Simon on the head, so Simon lost his memory and forgot where the painting was hidden. In order to obtain the painting, Frank asked Simon to find a hypnotist. I had an impression, so I chose her, so Elizabeth helped her recall the past, so she found the painting, and also found her love, the angry Simon wanted to kill Frank to forget the past, but was killed by Elizabeth, the above is the surface plot, If you think what you have seen is this story, then congratulations, your IQ was successfully despised by the director, let’s look at a few details first: First, at 3 minutes and 7 seconds, Frank entered the inner hall and swiped the pass card, It was clearly written that Francis Lemate, the owner of the auction house. The second is when Simon recalled how he found Frank. At 33 minutes and 20s, he saw Frank for the first time. Frank was watching the ball. At 64 minutes and 12 seconds, that is, after Simon was hypnotized, Simon saw the picture on the TV, which was also the picture of scoring a goal. It can be inferred that this picture and Frank are Simon's imagination or Simon's imagination for Frank, and we have already deduced the authenticity of Simon, then it can be concluded that Frank is Simon's imagination. Third, after Simon said the location of the painting, Elizabeth fell into danger. She kissed Simon and gave him three bullets. Some people said that they could only hold three, but they couldn’t hold it. Others said that Elizabeth fell in love with Frank, so she deliberately He was saved, but the bullet was in Simon's hands. How could she know that she would never hit Frank, so there was only one truth, and there were only three robbers in total, and Frank was imagining it. Fourth, the auction boss once hinted that Simon, the painting could be sold for more than 2,500 at the autumn auction, and finally sold for 2,750. Fifth, no matter whether he was in a dream or not in a dream, Frank could never die, could not be killed by electric shock, could not be killed by gunshot, could not be killed by fire, and so on, in an infinite loop. From this, it could be concluded that Frank was not real. Let’s reorganize the plot. Elizabeth and Simon are a pair of lovers, but Simon is suspicious and violent. Elizabeth makes him forget himself through hypnosis. At the same time, hypnosis makes him think he is a good gambler, so he owes a debt and repays it through paintings, thereby leaving behind The witch in the air is also a memorial to Simon, and Frank is the other side of Simon. He is not suspicious, loves Elizabeth less, and does not pursue perfection so much. It is Elizabeth's avatar separated from Simon's personality and is used to assist Simon in spiritual completion. Task. On the day of stealing the painting, it was the auction boss who really assisted Simon. This is why the boss didn't rush to find the painting after losing the painting, and when Simon saw the boss, he seemed to think of something but couldn't. Because the painting was actually not worth that much, the auction price was colluded in advance, in order to defraud a huge amount of insurance money. After Simon got the painting, he was hit by a strange woman. He woke up and found out that she had stolen the painting. The real purpose of Elizabeth, and mistakenly mistook the stranger for Elizabeth and killed her. The woman killed by Simon was real. One of the reasons why Elizabeth was so sad was because Simon really killed someone, and she was innocent. On the other hand, that is equivalent to herself, because it was Simon who mistakenly recognized her as himself, so she killed her, and she was desperate for Simon's love. After Simon woke up, he was a little bit schizophrenic, completely pulled Frank out and became an imaginary person, and forgot where the painting was, so the kidnappers and Elizabeth intervened to find the whereabouts of the painting, and at the same time, because they still loved Simon and intervened in Simon's treatment, During the treatment, there were often scenes of fighting between Frank and Simon, but Elizabeth always stood on Frank's side and prevented Simon from killing Frank, because she hoped that through the treatment, it was Frank who defeated Simon to become the dominant character instead of the opposite, so in the last dream The three of them appeared at the same time and poured out all the facts, and in the end Elizabeth knocked them both into the sea, that is to say, two personalities of one person, Simon died in a dream, Frank was victorious, this personality Dominated, so the dream woke up in Frank's dream. If Simon was alive at the time, then he would wake up in Simon's dream. For the last pad Frank received, There is a sentence: I thought I missed Simon more, but I didn't think that the person I missed more was you. In fact, this also indicates that Elizabeth thought she was in love with the violent, suspicious, perfectionist, who loved her with all her heart. Simon, but in fact, what he loves more is the non-violent, non-suspicious Simon-Frank, which is not difficult to explain why Elizabeth and Frank are so natural when they have a relationship, and open up to him: There was a relationship before, But he is too violent. In fact, this is sidetracking and giving hints. In addition, the relationship between Elizabeth and Frank is basically the same as that of Simon, because they are indeed one person. Ending: Elizabeth got the painting and flew away and transformed Simon into a real-life witch of the sky.
