Divide "The Tuner" into four parts

Part 1: A pianist with a dream meets a girl he loves

Part 2: The pianist is involved in the murder, the girl leaves, and he is blinded by poison

The third part: After fleeing and entering the tiger's mouth again, jointly punish the bad guys

Part 4: European Reunion, Telling the Thrilling Journey

The phrase "long story... coffee" at the beginning of the movie has actually revealed that the whole movie is [Akash is telling Sophie what happened] Add a big point! ! See each section below.

Part 1: A pianist with a dream meets a girl he loves

In this part, it can be seen that Sophie is a pure adult, and will say bad things as good "bird shit will bring good luck", "broken cup will bring good luck", because the wages given are too high Take Akash home for less. Therefore, it is easy to believe others. For example, when a little boy shows her a video, she believes that Akash is lying to her, and when she sees Simi wearing a bathrobe, she thinks that Akash is cheating. Therefore, when she knew that it was Simi and the others who made Akash really blind in order to cover up the murder, she would say that Simi's eyes should be gouged out. That is to fully believe that Akash is the victim, the good side, and there is no evil side.

Bandu is a simple child, the first among him to discover Akash pretending to be blind, but he just wants to use this secret to knock a sum of money.

Part 2: The pianist is involved in the murder, the girl leaves, and he is blinded by poison

Sophie made him work in the store as a medium before she met the old star Pramod and received private work.

【Plummer's death】

How did the old star die in the first place?

Shoot? In fact, the design of the gun is a bit buggy. If the old star is shot and killed, there will be a sound (no matter whether the old lady is old or not), and the chin part of the corpse is a bleeding port, and there is very little blood (a lot of red is wine). There was no splatter, and there were basically no signs of fighting at home, just scattered flowers and chocolate.

Secondly, who killed the old star? Simi has said that the gun accidentally misfired, and I personally tend to kill the heroine by mistake. Because the previous heroine ate a mouthful of hot sauce while cooking, and hugged the old star with red hands, it felt that the heroine's hands were covered with blood. When she talked to her lover, she also said that she did all the dirty things by herself, and complained that her lover had a gun.

In the end, compared with the original short film, it is slightly inferior. Although it shows the highlights of "witnessing the corpse" and "playing the piano non-stop", and adding Simi's self-talk and the process of dealing with the corpse, it still feels unsmooth and a very rigid sense of expression.

【The death of Mrs. Daza】

Eyewitnesses of the case, so it is impossible to escape death. The elevator just opened when Simi threw her down, which is a relatively clever trick.

...But the location of the drop is not right... The old lady fell on the big platform instead of the first floor, and there are walls on both sides. The police said that the balcony had slipped and fell, but it was the position of the stairs, and it was impossible to fall. Get there... Although the police may not be interested in investigating the old lady's death, it is very buggy.

[Has Akash really been poisoned and blinded at this time? 】

Simi found a way to prescribe medicine from the Internet, so it was unreliable. Akash was temporarily blind, but he should slowly recover.

The third part: After fleeing and entering the tiger's mouth again, jointly punish the bad guys

Akash crashed into a pillar and fainted, and was rescued by the lottery aunt and the rental brother. There are details in the front that indicated that the lottery aunt and the rental brother knew each other, and their motive for saving people should be to sell kidneys. In order to save his life, Akash used their greed for money and news reports, assuming that he could get 10 million, so the four joined forces and kidnapped Simi. But the aunt and the little brother locked up Akash and planned to take it for himself. But Akash has his own tricks: Lovers carry guns, and 10 million doesn't exist. So the rental brother died, and the money the aunt got was paper.

Akash hit the glass precisely when he was locked up to find the exit, Simi was a little surprised, but when he was about to escape, he suddenly came down and persuaded Simi to surrender with him (this sentence may be Fake), and the doctor appeared to fight Simi, Akash looked more like waiting, waiting for Simi to kill the doctor, but the little scissors were not lethal at all, so Akash grabbed Simi. The doctor's "you saved me" remark may be true, the purpose is to get Akash to follow him into the car and abduct him to make money. And Akash should be aware of the doctor's purpose in the dialogue in the car... After all (1) if only Simi is a rare blood type, he doesn't need to bring Akash as a burden, the doctor never does business at a loss (2) the doctor sees From the blood test report, it was obvious that both of them were BRH negative (3) Akash never believed the doctor.

The fourth part: Europe meets again, telling the story of surprise

Sophie came to Europe and heard Akash play by chance. The song was the one that Akash always felt was not perfect, and the lyrics were also about missing Sophie.

The two were drinking coffee, and Sophie asked, "Then what?", omitting the previous content.

The story goes back to the most dramatic part. It turned out to be stopped directly after driving through the tree, and the conversation between Akash and the doctor also turned into that Akash kept saying to let Simi go, and the doctor said that if she killed her, she could share the money.

Although the following shooting techniques are very clever, there are also some bugs, which probably reflects Akash's lies.

(1) The doctor was apparently killed by a throat slit, if Simi struggled to kill the doctor, it was more likely a needle stick (and there should be anesthesia in it, after all, the doctor would save her life)

(2) The doctor was talking all the way, but when he drove again, the driver didn't respond at all. Akash couldn't help but doubt it.

(3) After Simi drove out, he suddenly turned back to hit Akash.

(4) The rabbit hit the car, so Simi drove off, but another shot was the rabbit jumping away alive

The movie actually has two contents about this section. The first section only gives the sound when the screen is black at the beginning, so the narrative content with pictures is not necessarily credible, it is probably the imagination given by the director.

My inference: Akash first induced the doctor to get out of the car, and then Simi saw him cut his throat when he was not prepared. Simi escaped from the trunk to drive the car, but was frightened by the gunshots and the rabbit, and the car rolled over and exploded and died unexpectedly.

As for whether the rabbit is dead or alive or even exists, I have the following opinions:

The rabbit represents the male protagonist.

(1) The rabbit is chased by the hunter = the male protagonist is chased by the female protagonist’s lover

This part of the chasing process should start from the time when the heroine drugged the hero to make the hero blind, and the hero escaped after being almost hanged. And the male protagonist passed out after hitting the pillar, which also corresponds to the rabbit hitting the scarecrow.

(2) The left eye of the rabbit is blind and the right eye is normal = the male protagonist is not completely blind

As mentioned earlier, the method of using Simi to make Akash blind was found on the Internet, so it is not reliable. The male protagonist may have very poor eyesight at the beginning, but he has a certain degree of self-healing. And judging from Akash grabbing Sophie's hand and recognizing her, recognizing his crutches without fumbling, and swiping the can, he might be fine without a corneal transplant.

(3) Rabbit crutches

According to the appearance of the rabbit crutch, I think the most likely possibility is that the rabbit really exists and helps Akash get rid of Simi, the probability of the rabbit dying is higher, and Akash regards it as his god of luck, Rabbit crutches. And the lively rabbit in the camera may be Akash who got rid of everything and reborn, probably why Akash didn't go to Sophie again.

As for how Akash got to Europe after that... no way of knowing.

Final thoughts: Akash still likes Sophie, so he beautifies himself in the process of telling, although he has struggled (such as fantasizing about exposing two people in person at the police station, calling the police station to report), However, he knew deep down that he was no longer the kind-hearted person in Sophie's eyes, so when Sophie said that Simi's eyeballs should be taken off, he didn't answer anything.

And he chose to continue to hide himself under the sunglasses. In the past, he disguised the blind in order to pursue art, but now he is willing to continue to disguise and destroy his conscience. Echoing the beginning, Akash chose his own life.

  • Inspector Manohar Jawanda: You blinded him? What do you mean? How?

    Simi: On the internet you can find a hundred ways to do that. Good. Now he's really blind.

    Inspector Manohar Jawanda: But the blind can talk. He can talk to the press. If there's an inquiry, I'll get the boot. We'll get caught. You should've killed him.

    Simi: I'm not a serial killer to kill them off, one by one. Keep playing the perfect husband. Hide behind your wife. Why didn't you take my call?

    Inspector Manohar Jawanda: My wife's aunt was in the ICU. You know how it is. You were married too.

    Simi: I was. And with a far better man than you. Why did you bring your gun that day? If you hadn't, none of this would've happened. He might have forgiven me. You think you're Dirty Harry, while I do the dirty work!
