If you haven't seen this movie and haven't seen other reviews, I advise you to quit and go straight to the movie, I'll be sad if you get spoiled, it's like someone else preemptively flipping a fresh meal Enough, pick and eat the good things, and then tell you, you can taste it. I'm sure this is the best suspense movie I've ever seen, bar none. This is doomed to be difficult to write film reviews, because if you are not careful, there may be spoilers. The most taboo thing about suspense films is spoilers. I really don’t want friends who like to read reviews first and then watch movies to miss the opportunity to taste the big meal. All I try to do is advertise. The big meal in our minds must be rich, unique, and dazzling, and this movie is just that. It is not enough to just define it as a suspense film, it is too unfair to it, it must have more labels, such as: plot, love, psychology, crime, and even pornography and thriller. Needless to say, suspense is the main tone of the feast, and eroticism and thriller are the seasonings. In this film, the two elements of love and psychology are interdependent and intertwined. They are the two main dishes that can stimulate your appetite and taste buds in this feast. What makes love happen? First of all, age is definitely not an obstacle. There is no doubt that 27-year-old beautiful women are attractive to men of any age. Similarly, middle-aged and elderly gentlemen in their 60s with both wealth and elegance exude the charm of successful men everywhere; secondly , Both men and women must have commonalities and points of agreement, or resonance. In this film, men and women have in common that they both have psychological cleanliness. When patients meet, it is like Jinfeng touching Yulu. They must cherish each other and talk endlessly. The topic is very easy to resonate; the above two points belong to the category of hardware, love, these are obviously not necessary conditions, they are not enough, they have to rely on software. Software is a psychological activity and performance. The whole process of psychological changes from the occurrence, development, and maturity to madness of love is vividly portrayed in this film. First of all, in the budding stage of love, people who have been in love or have a secret love experience cannot escape the word "curiosity". The more mysterious the other party is, the more attractive they are. The heroine of this film shows sensitivity before she officially appears. , Vulnerability and capriciousness, which suffocated the appetite of the old man, not to mention an old man who has not been close to women for most of his life. When an old man (yes, the male protagonist is indeed called Oldman-oldman), he has repeatedly missed his appointment. After being tricked, a concept of psychoeconomics came into play - sunk cost. Due to too much investment in the early stage, it intensified his curiosity, and he was addicted to it and could not extricate himself, so the love developed to the second stage; , with a deeper understanding, the image of the sensitive, fragile and suspicious sick heroine becomes more and more distinct. , Lin Daiyu's style doesn't necessarily have to be in China, but it can still be eaten in foreigners. I still feel pity. After this combination of hard-to-find punches, the old man's hormone secretion increased sharply, the desire to explore and protect was thoroughly stimulated, and his feelings grew arbitrarily. ; and then voyeurism. The two voyeur scenes can be called the eyes of the whole film. The first voyeur revealed the true face of the heroine to the old man and the audience, and at the same time uncovered the mystery of the first half of the film; the second voyeur's plot arrangement was even more brilliant: the old man was panicked by hiding behind the statue Short of breath, profuse sweating, the pleasure and guilt coexisted in the pursuit of beauty, and the tense and exciting atmosphere was created to the extreme. In particular, the scene where the heroine sits on the sofa to soothe her toes personally feels more than the one in "Instinct". This scene is a turning point in the plot, but also a turning point in love. Since then, love has matured and entered a new stage of fanaticism. The guilt of voyeurism, the natural desire for protection, and the sympathy of psychological cleanliness. The three intertwined, the old man's heart was completely conquered, and he was deeply in love and could not extricate himself from it. Many emotions, suspicion, jealousy, loss, he never fell, and he experienced them one by one, and he was consummated. Even if there is no later reversal, the first 80% of the film is a successful love suspense drama. The plot arrangement is splintered, ups and downs, the story structure is perfect, interlocking, and the viewing experience is already super enjoyable. . I won't say much about the reversal. At the moment when the truth is revealed, I believe that most of the audience are as uncomfortable in their hearts as I am. Even so, they don't feel unfinished, but a climax, and even some negation of negation The speculative spirit and the philosophical meaning of Zhuang Sheng Mengdie. A master is a master, and once again, the screenwriter and director of this film are the same person - Giuseppe Tonadore, "The Beautiful Legend of Sicily", "Paradise Cinema", "The Pianist at Sea", "Journey to the Family" All from the hands of this old man, friends who love movies know the weight of these movies. He is the banner of Italian cinema. Going back to this film, there are too many highlights and surprises to analyze them one by one, but I will write a few impressive ones: The last part of the male protagonist's flashback is interspersed with three time periods, but it is not confusing at all. , the ending of the story is clearly explained, and the final scene does not set the final time period of the male protagonist, which is the first time I have seen this kind of operation; two crucial characters are arranged in the play to be young The mechanic Robert and the coffee shop dwarf, these two characters play a decisive role in the progression of the plot and the success of the story, it can be said that they Having directed the whole story, as a screenwriter to be able to create these two characters is really incredible, nothing but amazement is amazement; the last thing to admire is the performance, the performance of the veteran actor Geoffrey Rush in three auctions is impressive Profound: The first time was strong and skillful, and explained the character of the old man; the second time was panic-stricken, full of mistakes, and it was the performance of a lover who lost; Full of complacency in the past and expectations for a new life. The old man is still very attractive! There are also art treasures of female statues in the room in the secret room, which are invaluable and beautiful, representing a high degree of unity of material and spirit, which can interpret the dreams of old men and the dreams of all men in the world.
