That's right! Look at the title!
After watching about 2,000 movies, this movie is the first high-scoring suspense movie that made me doubt my memory and IQ (Lynch's movie at least makes me feel comfortable after watching the film critics, this eel steamed alive to me I can't even find a reliable movie review.)
There are too many doubts (maybe pits?) One by one is as follows:
1. Is what the male protagonist sees from the first-person perspective real or delusional?
In the process of recording the film from the male protagonist's first perspective, there are several unconventional scenes, which are basically related to eels
So the question is, how did he see the eels in the water when he first entered the spa bucket? If the eel when he entered the spa bucket for the first time was a hallucination, it must be unreasonable, because he has not seen these things before, this is the first time the male protagonist has seen it, so the eel is real. So what did the baron think of putting the eel in? If it is for refining medicine, it needs to be poured into the eel and then distilled to be effective. If it is for the eel to eat, what is the point of saving him later?
Then, how can you see the eel in the toilet tank the second time? And how can you see a school of eels in the bathtub? When the camera is zoomed out, we can clearly see that there is nothing in the water tank. The only reasonable explanation is that the male protagonist has hallucinations. It's real, the eel is definitely not a hallucination! So what is the significance of letting the audience discover that the male protagonist has begun to hallucinate? The final stage of the film has clearly shown that the hero's hallucinations are meaningless! So this may be the director's suspicion, leading the audience to think in the direction of schizophrenia? I think this is the only plausible explanation, so if I'm right, is this shot really so botched that the logic of the film breaks down?
2. The Mystery of Manipulation
When the whole film ends and you start to think back, do you still remember the letter from the chairman? The basic conclusion is that he expressed high dissatisfaction with reality and said his company was dirty. After the male protagonist met and talked with the chairman for the first time, the chairman still had the company in his heart, and he expressed his desire to go back, so at this time it was certain that he must not have been manipulated. Since it has not been manipulated at this point in time, why is the tone of the letter written before basically the same as the tone of the manipulated person? He's a rich man, isn't he a fool? After two days in the water, his worldview will change?
Also, according to the sequence of lens language, I probably understand that manipulating people is to soak them in water first. The chairman was soaked in water before, and he was manipulated at the police station later (we won't say how he manipulated it so finely, and we will answer fluently). The male protagonist was soaked in water after distillation, and then not only was he brainwashed, but his teeth were restored?
The problem of teeth is not important, even if you press it back and get a denture, it makes sense. But the film has not been inserted into the water, how did this person survive? It's completely beyond my comprehension, is it a sci-fi movie?
Here I will mention an article about cloning. In fact, it can be forcibly explained, but the problem is that the whole film does not explain it. He will clone the sanatorium he runs. Is it all right? Besides, how could clones have the nirvana of awakening memory? More sci-fi, okay?
I also saw a film review explaining that all this is the dream of the protagonist's mother. Of course, you can explain it this way. I also think this is the best explanation for forced and reasonable, but the problem is, if it is a dream, and the heroine is the mother, then the dream The protagonist is the daughter, so there should be no more male protagonist's first-person perspective, otherwise it would be nonsense. Did you become two in your dream? Still fighting each other? So I think so. . . The unreasonable part is that Hu Zheng, who is pretending to be mysterious, set up the illusion of those eels for the horror, set up the mother's dialogue and the chairman's letter for the suspense, and made nonsense for the sake of nonsense.
But I really like the overall tone of the film. Women are also very thoughtful when they are in the tide. There are too many good things, but I can't say that the flaws do not hide the beauty. If the logic can't be straightened out, don't use the guise of suspense. Is it!
All science fiction is acceptable, but fabrications to create suspense are just tricking the audience!
