After watching the first episode of the first season of "Secret No. 9", I was very shocked, because the first episode was full of details and foreshadowing. I watched it 3 times and went to Baidu to read the analysis. In the form of I will find out the details and foreshadowing parts I have seen, and finally analyze these details and draw a conclusion.
The first episode is called "Sardine Game". The sardine game is a game similar to hide and seek played at family gatherings in the United Kingdom. The last person finds everyone, everyone huddles in one place, and the game is over. At the beginning of the play, it was said that today was Berica's engagement party, so family and friends came to play the sardine game.
Those participating in the sardine game are:
Wife: Rebecca's fiancee, Rebecca's father, Rebecca's brother Carl, Carl's boyfriend Stuart, Rebecca's babysitter Jotini, Rebecca's hair little John Men: fiance Jeremy, Jay Remy's boss Mark couple, Jeremy's colleague Ian, Jeremy's ex-girlfriend Rachel, Rachel's current boyfriend LEE.
Detail 1: In the opening shot, Rebecca runs into a room and looks around. She went to the bathroom to find it first, and the moment she opened the shower curtain and saw the flower wine, she showed a horrified expression, and immediately turned around to see the sink. After seeing the soap, she picked it up and smelled it, revealing a longing smile. (Soap is the key detail)
Detail 2: The characters repeatedly confuse Rachel and Rebecca (we will explain why one by one later)
Detail 3: Ian chats with Rebecca about being named RIP when he was baptized
Detail 4: Berica's brother Carl enters the venue, pay attention to the way Berica greets her brother
Detail 5: Ian's slip of the tongue when Berica talks to her brother about her father
Detail 6: When Carl's boyfriend Stuart came into the closet and talked to Ian about his relationship with Karl, Karl turned his back to the wall, showed a good look and wanted to come out of the closet. It can be seen that Karl was not satisfied with this boyfriend.
Detail 7: Rachel, the key character of the show, appeared. At the beginning, Rachel said that she was claustrophobic, but we found that she did not feel uncomfortable after entering the cabinet. But when Ian talks about Jeremy's frequent mention of "her" in the company, and that it's something boring, Rachel feels sick and offers to leave the closet on claustrophobic grounds. (I will explain why I feel uncomfortable at this time later)
Detail 8: Before the old lady appeared on the scene, Carl stared at the blurred figure of Jotini behind the glass door of the toilet, showing a complex and slightly frightened expression. Rebecca asks: Are you okay, what's up? Carl fiercely replied: What do you think? Look where we are! Rebecca didn't dare to look at her brother after hearing it.
Detail 9: The nanny said that she hadn't been here for a long time, and after claiming "that incident", Berica immediately interrupted the nanny and emphasized that it was a party. ("That event" is the crux of the whole thing)
Detail 10: The nanny sings a song about the bride in the closet. Ian's expression contrasts sharply with Rachel's beside him. Rebecca's expression is very frightened and reaches out to Carl who is in pain, but Carl quickly slaps his hand. gone. Also notice Carl's expression.
Detail 11: When the Marks appear, they are preparing to do that in the room, Berica asks everyone to make some noise, and then pay attention to the way the babysitter makes the sound.
Detail 12: When Mark enters the closet, he can let his wife be next to Berica, but he squeezes next to Rachel, and pay attention to the expressions of his wife and everyone when Mark and Rachel say hello.
Detail 13: When Rachel's boyfriend Lee came, Mark held his head with his hands and obviously didn't like his presence, and then when Rachel introduced everyone to her boyfriend, Mark's eyes kept on Rachel's ass, At the same time, Mark's wife also noticed this and gave Lee some hints, but Lee didn't pay attention at all, and this also explains why Lee said that Mark's wife seemed to be crying.
Detail 14: Berica has an older sister, Caroline, who has unknown sons, but cannot come because of the "long distance".
Detail 15: Mark makes room for Ian as a boss, but here we can see that Mark is in enough space for him to move left and right. And Mark even called his own employee's name wrong, so he didn't let him out because he hated Ian, but for another purpose. And this move is also a very key detail of the play, which will echo with the ending later.
Detail 16: When my father came on stage, he first reprimanded Stinky John. At this time, he paid attention to John's expression. He lowered his head from beginning to end and did not dare to formally become his father. It can be seen that Stinky John was very afraid of his father.
Detail 17: Jeremy confused his betrothed wife with Rachel
Detail 18: The nanny asked Stinky John if he wanted to eat chewing gum. Stinky John said that he had diarrhea from chewing gum, presumably because he was afraid of any scent on his body.
Detail 19: Father sings the sardine song we used to play together, Carl said: "How dare you sing this song" Father said: "This is my home and I can do whatever I like", pay attention to this time Carl expression.
Detail 20: The babysitter said "that thing" and called a Boy Scouts rally, which ended in discord because one of the little boys made a very "bad" accusation against Andrew. At the same time, there is another detail that needs attention. At this time, Mark is molesting Rachel. Pay attention to Rachel's expression. She wants to ask to be rescued, but no one pays attention to her. The second scene is like encountering a tram idiot.
Detail 21: When the camera turns to Carl's position, Carl says: he paid them to go away, pay attention! In this shot, Mark's wife occupies half of the shot. It can be clearly seen that she doesn't care about the content of everyone's conversation at all, and just keeps her head up and observes her husband's situation. The wife is the one who knows exactly what Mark is doing to Rachel.
Detail 22: The father said that he was just telling the child how to take a bath, basic hygiene knowledge, pay attention to what Carl and Stinky John said at this time.
Details 23: At the end, only Ian was left outside, but Jemica said it wasn't Ian, he sang the song of sardines, locked everyone up, burned them to death, and the whole film ended.
Summary: 1. Fiance Jeremy doesn't love Rebecca, he is still entangled with his ex-girlfriend Rachel, and everyone is tacit.
2. Mark and Rachel have an abnormal relationship that his wife always knew but didn't expose.
3. The old father was a pedophile, and Berica's sister Caroline, as the eldest sister in the family, knew all about it, so she didn't dare to bring her son.
4. Carl, John, and little Pip have all been violated by their fathers. (As can be seen from the above details)
5. The nanny also knows everything. She serves her father and helps him deal with "death matters", and her special way of making a voice is likely to be a secret signal with her father.
6. Berica knew about her father's "murdering process" but did not dare to expose it. Berica may also be her father's accomplice. It is conceivable that she may have helped her father deceive Carl when she was a child.
7. Ian was the little Pip back then. The boss, Mark, kicked him out in order to satisfy his...
The first episode seems to tell a very bland game, but it is full of thoughtful and terrifying places. In the end, a bunch of people are hiding in the cabinet, some are perpetrators, some are accomplices, some are victims, some are Because of greed, and some people because of adultery, this cabinet is like a Shura field, and it is more like a prison, but in the end, only little Pip escaped. Just like many years ago. The only one who can redeem is himself. The tragedy of most people is already doomed.
