"What is life? It depends one the liver." What is life? It depends on the living person. After watching the film, I think there is another sentence that can be extended as well: What is the truth? It depends on the protagonist. The characters, Akash, Simi, and Sophie, in the audience's vision, seem to be divided into protagonists and supporting roles, but in fact, everyone is using his subjective consciousness to conceive a version of the story in his mind. Is the "first protagonist".
No.1 Akash
The protagonist of this film, in order to raise 20W to participate in the competition in London, conducted a "crazy experiment" - pretending to be blind. In this experiment, Akash's acting skills of pretending to be blind became more and more "superb", and the accompanying series of "blind welfare" also made him gradually rely on it.
Although he was killed in the middle, at the end of the movie, Akash, who has lived a decent life in London, is still pretending to be blind. I am curious why he is in a strange city where no one knows him. , to continue his lies?
And in Akash's eyes, what is the truth? Maybe he didn't even know it himself. While he used the false identity of blindness to gain decency for himself, he was also on the road of self-deception.
At the beginning, I chose to pretend to be blind because of my dream. Having to continue to "go blind" after witnessing Simi's murder is a helpless act for self-protection. In the end, everything was calm, but Akash once again chose to take the initiative to pretend to be blind, because he was deeply immersed in the welfare and sense of security that blind people brought him and could not extricate himself.
pretending to be blind, let him live in a low-rent housing for the disabled; pretending to be blind, let him meet the beautiful and simple Sophie; pretending to be blind, although he experienced a fatal disaster, he eventually retire; finally in London , As a "blind artist", Akash continued to use his musical talent to attract a group of fans, and also used his fabricated lies to play a kind and good character in front of the re-encountered Sophie, and regained her sympathy and trust. Akash is the first protagonist of the whole play. At the end, when he continues to lie to everyone as a blind man, does he dare to look directly at the truth of his heart? Perhaps even he himself has regarded himself in his heart as a truly kind and righteous blind man.
No.2 Sago
She is the wife of real estate tycoon and former popular actor Plummer. At the beginning of the movie, she has a beautiful and mature appearance and lives an upper-class life that everyone admires. However, an affair caused her to kill her husband by mistake. , After shedding tears of remorse, not only did she not repent, but in order to hide her crimes, she embarked on a road of no return to eradicate dissidents, and she nakedly became unscrupulous.
I would rather pay the world, not the world to blame me. In Simi's eyes, whether it's the male protagonist Akash, the neighbor's grandmother, or the little boy greedy for money, they are her "thorns in the eyes", and their existence threatens her life safety. At a critical moment, either you will die, or I will die, so the glamorous and sexy upper-class lady in the past has become the devil who kills without blinking an eye.
In the previous scene, he was still pretending to be unwell at the neighbor's grandmother's house. In the next scene, Akash entered the elevator and saw the grandmother who was lifted by Simi and hung in the air. The last tenderness of this woman who murdered without blinking an eye had already flowed out in front of Akash at her home after murdering her husband.
No.3 Sophie
She is the eternal white rose of the hero Akash, with a pure yet charming appearance, a simple, kind, enthusiastic and active character, which made her develop a romantic and unforgettable love with the hero. Although at the end of the movie the kind Sophie responds not so kindly to Akash's concocted story that she thinks Akash should have Simi's cornea taken away, I don't think that says anything about Akash She is a "wicked person", and her final reaction just represents the most normal behavior of a melon-eating crowd.
The existence of Sophie is especially like the people who eat melons in today's society. Every melon eater, when facing evil, seems to see the truth in their eyes. They only see the tip of the iceberg of the incident, but they rashly believe it. Do not question rationally.
Akash's eyes looked normal, but Sophie didn't dig deep, but directly believed the lie that he was blind due to nerve damage. When the greedy little boy showed the video evidence of Akash's normal vision, coupled with Simi's tricks, Sophie immediately believed that Akash was a prodigal son who deceived his feelings by pretending to be blind, and cut off contact with him.
At the end of the movie, when she met Akash again, she recklessly believed another version that the male protagonist told her, and indignantly stood on the moral paramount line to criticize Simi. From start to finish, Sophie was a melon eater and was excluded from this murder story.
No4. Neighborhood child
If the existence of Sophie symbolizes the melon-eating masses who follow the crowd, then the little neighbor boy who wants to use Akash for money again and again is the most real epitome of some unscrupulous media,
At first, I tried to make fun of Akash, but I was taught a lesson. Now a certain part of the media (especially entertainment gossip) that has lost its moral integrity is the most real face: in order to obtain the breaking point, regardless of the overall situation, never change the perspective of the victims and parties involved in the news, and do not consider public influence at all, just to gain attention , to make profits, you can do anything.
