Synopsis
Gilman (Fabry Ruccini) is a new high school literature teacher.
One day when he was grading the student's weekly journal, he found that a student named Claude (Ernst Wu Moe) wrote an excellent article, which caught his attention.
The content of the article is about voyeurism.
Claude peeks into the life of Raphael's family by giving his classmate Raphael the opportunity to teach math problems.
In particular, the description of the hostess Esther (Emmanuel Seigner) is very detailed and does not look like it was written by a 16-year-old middle school student.
Gilman decided to communicate with Claude and told him that although the article was well written, it was wrong to describe his classmates and his family in this way.
But Claude not only didn't think he had a problem, but also handed Gilman another article.
It was only after Gilman read it that he realized that the content of this article followed the previous one, as if it were a serialized novel.
After reading the second article, Gilman increasingly felt that Claude was a writing genius.
So, he shares the article with his wife (Kristen Scott Thomas) to read.
Gilman's wife thought the content of the article was too satirical and should stop him from writing it as soon as possible.
But Gilman 's long-spent literary passion has been ignited, and he is ready to personally mentor Claude and encourage him to continue.
In this way, as Claude stayed at Raphael's house longer and longer, the content of the article became more and more in-depth.
But when Gilman was enjoying it, Claude suggested that if Raphael's math scores did not improve, he would no longer be able to stay at his house with the excuse of tutoring math.
Unless he gets the math test questions before next week's math test, so he can continue his creation.
After experiencing inner struggles, Gilman decides to help Claude steal the math test.
After the success, Raphael scored an unprecedented high in mathematics, and Claude was able to stay at his home and become closer to his family.
But as the content of the article went deeper, Gilman found that Claude's purpose was not that simple, but he was already caught in it and couldn't extricate himself...
Video Analysis
A movie with an excellent viewing experience, its success is not in how tortuous and bizarre stories it has made up, but in fully giving the viewers' imaginations . Under a general framework, let us weave the stories we want by ourselves, very interesting. The end of the film is also the essence. Gilman and Claude begin to speculate about the quarrel between the two women, weaving the story in their minds, and then the picture turns dark, and what we see is a dozen windows in a building, each There are different plots in the windows, which one attracts us the most?
"Sound painting" , which is mentioned in the film, refers to "the artist stands in front of a blank wall or picture frame with headphones on, he describes the painting, and the listener participates in the joint creation, imagining a painting , project the imagination onto this blank frame, and the picture will appear." This is similar to the film, the director gave his story, in which there are many descriptions that alternate between reality and reality, and we viewers have participated in it. In the joint creation, many pictures are imagined by us, and it reflects our psychology .
"Theatrical conflict" , Gilman mentioned in his lecture to Claude, when a hero wants to get something, he will go through many obstacles, and the process of breaking through these obstacles in order to achieve the goal will produce dramatic conflict, and these parts are often is the most attractive to viewers. Obviously, the hero in the film is Claude, and what he desperately lacks is the warmth that an ordinary family should have.
So he set his eyes on Raphael's family, which seemed to be very harmonious, but when he went deep into it, he realized that some things were not as good as they seemed on the surface. Raphael's father has suffered many setbacks in business, while his mother has always had a literary heart but could not achieve it. It seems that the passion and romance between husband and wife have been missing for a long time. But for Claude, he is already very envious of such a family.
So his first target is Raphael's mother Esther, a woman who is engaged in home design and likes art. Claude, who has lacked maternal love since childhood, has a very deep Oedipus plot, and soon he has a relationship with Esther. Different feelings, after several exchanges, Claude did what he liked and used a poem to make Esther, who lacks romance, feel strange. But in the end, the hero did not achieve his goal. Esther's rationality prevailed over sensibility, and she decided to give up what she wanted to do and move her family to live in China.
However, the hero did not end his journey. He still lacked fatherly love. Although Claude had a father, his biological father did not give him the care and care he deserved, so he set his sights on Jill, who had a common interest with him and had no son. Man. What's the secret to a good ending? Unsurprisingly , it's clear that the end of the film does exactly that, with climaxes that keep us thinking. Especially when Gilman used his imagination to sketch that picture and we knew the result, the hero won the final victory. The story may be over, but Gilman and Claude's creation isn't over, to be continued.
Life is not about storytelling and it can't always go as expected, but we can do our best to live the life we want.
