The opening music has a hint of magical humor in the dark persecution, which seems to be a mockery of the helpless turn in the plot, continuing the fun of the soundtrack Alexandre Desplat [Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallow] [Return to Old Child] and other works that have been consistent in recent years.
The protagonist, as an autobiographical gunman, has no background in the film, and even his name is unknown (only Ewan McGregor--the Ghost is written in the cast). He was hurriedly appointed as the new ghost writer to organize his autobiography for the former British Prime Minister Adam Lang. With this setting, he had to piece together the vague truth of the bizarre death of his predecessor McAra step by step, and then became "the new Mike McAra" without fail.
Ghost remained undefended from beginning to end, honestly maintaining his British Humour, and believed that he needed to use "Heart" to increase the sales of a former prime minister's autobiography. His reading habit has been emphasized several times in the editing, which again symbolizes his tendency to be sensitive and cautious (because I also have a stubborn reading habit because I know how to be compassionate~). The script’s words are carefully considered, and the settings for his surrounding characters are also meaningful-the ordinary agent, the not humble Adam assistant and lover (Kim Cattrall or Samantha restored her accent), the Asian servants in the villa, did not follow He has established substantial communication, but it seems that he always uses phone reminders, permission settings, and action tracking to obstruct his task of "straight to the soul". In the film, he was "forced" to take the ferry several times. The gloomy sea and sky hinted at the conspiracy to paralyze all outsiders and the isolated situation of Ghost. "i'm on my own." He would consciously or unconsciously separate the relationship each time. .
The role director of Adam's wife Ruth originally hoped to be played by Tilda Winston, the kind of face associated with keywords such as Europe, wet and cold, heavy industry, and iron fist. Olivia Williams still managed to contain these strong elements just under the weak skin of the "wife of the former prime minister". Ruth seems to be the only person who treats Ghost "normally", but in such an environment this "normal" seems particularly "frank". Of course, it was later learned that those frank conversations and expressions were nothing more than semantic changes made by her in private.
The elder 007 Brosnan dramatized the straightforward and stupid stupidity of a former president from a theater major. Adam, who is accustomed to the pillow breeze, cares only about the expression and tone of the public media, but is still ridiculed by the outside world as "a bloody actor". What can only be praised is that the unity of this role level can instead see a cross-section of the entire film, allowing the viewer to see in depth.
I slept with the wife of the former British prime minister. After the former prime minister was attacked and hung up, he found that the widow turned out to be a CIA commissioner. This ups and downs seemed to be the place where the cold sweat on the back of the film was leaking, but Ewan's calm performance was obviously not. I want to convey the character’s sense of fear, and I think political conspiracy theories are probably not the core appeal of the film. Let's not talk about this yet.
The authorised publisher of the autobiography, Rhinehart, runs through the film-the former prime minister worked in his villa, and even the wine they drank was produced in his estate. This subtle control on the one hand strengthens the influence of memoirs as clues on the main characters, and on the other hand, it may be a metaphor for politics or drama.
The film’s photography style is calm and simple, and the interview team took a helicopter to take pictures of the villa, and everyone saw that they were being broadcasted. It seemed creative. It can be seen as a modification of the mirror scene. As usual, everyone conducts self-examination. Adam's embarrassment is full, and Ruth's anger is more like an outburst of shame-Adam is like a failed work of hers.
In order to gain moral support from the US, Adam's colleagues planned a Washington luncheon for him.
"What to talk about? Don't I seem too flustered?" Adam asked
"AIDS? Poverty? Climate change? Who cares? We would all say that this is set long ago. The point is to let people know that we are doing business as usual."
Ruth's mood is very complicated at this time, but the high-speed computing in his mind can only throw out one sentence. It’s more like a midnight talk show witty "i think it's a terrible idea.you'll look as though you're america's whipping boy, running crying home to daddy."
Olivia gave Ruth a fixed performance program, the most notable of which It was she who entered the alert state "shrinking cheeks" (there were several hints before the identity was revealed). In addition, if you observe carefully, you will find that Ruth performed fake cry when seeking (sexual) comfort from Ghost (it’s obvious). I think even before the line of "let's eat" (or crying in the car earlier) While grabbing his hand), he tried to bring Ghost into the control as a new business. Ghost, who is about 40 years old, also has a particularly easy attitude in love affairs, so this possibility of being controlled is also weakened.
The next morning, Ruth found that her weight had been increased in Ghost's newly compiled manuscript, but she was very dissatisfied. The director added some remarks about women's rights here, making Ruth annoyed when he realizes that his political revenge is always hidden under the identity of the former prime minister's wife.
The BMW Connected Driving System allows Ghost to take a big step on the road to discover the truth. I secretly thought that shooting the car and turning around when Ghost decided to take a risk would make the lens language more attractive, and Ewan didn't have any good expressions on his face at the time.
When Mrs. Paul Emmett called to inform the intelligence commissioner of Ghost’s arrival, the director completely exposed Ghost’s dangerous situation to us. This Hitchcock technique plus a Maupassant ending plot structure gave the viewer an impact. , Far more than the "roller coaster" cheap experience.
The end of the credits is an elegant and suffocating (...of course, some people seem to be irritable) empty shots. Before passing the paper to track the lens, let people just...what more can i say. .. "The murder caused by a stack of A4 paper".
After reading it, I think of [Memory Fragment], saying that the truth is hard to find. [Je] is an elegy to the real history, flashing a glorious but heavy humanity; [Shadow Writer] uses human powerlessness to highlight the conspiracy of an entire era , To determine the truth of the sky will eventually pile up on street corners where no one is involved.
In the real world, the original film was published before the memoirs of former British Prime Minister Blair. But no one came to tell us how to not condone those so-called Fatal Incidents.
