Tucao an expensive mess:

This time I listened to the English lines and noticed that Brandon said to Jenny "Kenneth and then David". So Jenny talked about the three people in their four-person dormitory...like a girlfriend to Philip, saying he and Tom Did Harvey’s scandal come out? (I suspect that there are some actor stalks here) So the relationship in this circle is really small, the professor, four students, plus Jane, and then on bg, except for the professor and Philip, the other three permutations and combinations, bl Professor and Brandon, Philip, congratulations to Brandon for double play

Implied irony:

Brandon has always prided himself on being perfect, he is superior, even Rupert can't compare to him, his psychological quality is excellent, Rupert will not come to this scene is not fun. But in fact, even the landlord’s wife could see that something was wrong with them. Their so-called perfect murder was actually full of flaws, and even David’s hat was not dealt with. Brandon’s arrogance made his behavior even more weird, Jenny. The suspicion with Kenneth even made him a little tired to deal with, even if the professor did not expose them, they might not be able to escape.

However, Brandon was completely unaware of his future dangers. He was complacent when he saw the safety of the moment, and even continued to kill himself. He didn't realize the weakness that he didn't have the strength to open champagne, and maybe he didn't realize that he needed Philip as a pillar, but in fact, when he became weak in the later stage, he would unconsciously bring Philip with every word.

Philip and Brandon seem to be the opposite of the opposites. He admires Brandon, admits Brandon's self-appreciation and tries his best to cater to him with fear, and also admits Brandon's depreciation of him, but all this is in contradiction with his reason. , He put on the filter he wore because of love to make him completely believe in Brandon, thinking that he was subordinate to Brandon, and the fear he caused by being sober than Brandon made them both more anxious. Although his behavior can be said to be led away by Brandon, in fact, he is fully capable of opposing Brandon. Without him, Brandon could not complete the murder or hold any banquets. He did not realize his complicity, so This weak and kind-hearted person is actually one of the culprits in implementing the vicious plan.

Plot combing:

Brandon, Philip, David and Kenneth are all preparatory roommates. Rupert is their housekeeper and teacher. Brandon is very obsessed with him. He can sit in the classroom and listen to him for a day of class, and he is deeply impressed by him. Influenced by his thoughts, Brandon, who would have been calm at the banquet, stammered nervously as long as he faced him, but he kept moving around him. After sending Rupert away, he sighed and fell into ecstasy and pride, because all this was just a delicate performance he arranged for Rupert to watch.

Rupert still remembered that Brandon would tell a story before going to bed every time he was in preparatory school, and he still remembered his favorite story. He should like this student.

Brandon was still nervous after killing David, and he turned the tension into a kind of calm excitement, but never opened champagne and stuttered when asked about David. As well as unreasonable jokes and bad tastes, when he finally opened the box, facing David's corpse, he still guilty of asking to take the initiative to draw the curtains.

Brandon counted himself when he mentioned the superior crowd, Philip and Joubert, and his inner ranking should be the same, because he and Philip really started, and he wanted to show Joubert his achievements. So in the end, I had a peculiar cat-and-mouse game with Rupert. It was supposed to be the mouse, but it was luring the cat to catch him and enjoy it. Brandon emphasized that he and Philip are the ones who really practiced Rupert's theory. Rupert must understand them and appreciate them, otherwise it would be meaningless to do all this.

But all this made Rupert finally realize the flaws and terrible contempt of his theory, and he was deeply ashamed, which made Brandon truly collapse, and all his proud three views of evil finally collapsed. .

The relationship between Brandon and Philip should also start from the preparatory school. Philip said that Brandon always scared him from the preparatory school, but this is also what he thinks is the fascinating thing about Brandon. This relationship should have started three years ago, because Rupert remembered the story of the two killing chickens. Brandon said that he took Philip to his mother's farm. The theme of this banquet was also to see them off. Brandon said that Philip was going to give a concert, so he would take him to his mother's farm to retreat and practice piano.

This room was also shared by Philip and Brandon, so the landlord’s wife would say that they “both of them about got the wrong side of bed” in the morning, and also “this is the first time I saw them like this, usually... "It can be seen that they usually live together.

Whether it was killing chickens or killing people, Philip always did it. Brandon said that Philip was very good at executions, and Joubert later confirmed this, but once the chickens resisted him, he panicked. When these two people get along, Philip should also be executed. Brandon is a brain and a strong spirit, and Philip is a follower of this spirit.

Philip should be a gentle and elegant person everyday, so Rupert will notice that he will teach the landlord’s wife, which is abnormal. The relationship between Rupert and Brandon and Philip should be very close during the preparatory period. Rupert also went to Brandon’s mother’s farm, so he was very familiar with these two students and would notice all their abnormalities.

The old aunt said that Philip was in Cancer and was affected by the moon, which roughly implied that he was feminine. He was easily influenced by people as powerful as the sun, being influenced by them, reflecting their (spiritual) light (Brandon is the person with the sun attribute in Nietzsche’s works). , Rupert is the same), but whether this spirit is his own or he obeyed after being infected, it is different from Brandon’s masculine pursuit of Rupert, and Philip’s treatment of Brandon is more similar to feminine. Dependence and adoration.

(Tucao translation: Janet clearly said that Philip and Town Hall have any rumors, how to translate it into Tom Howe)

Philip was terrified, jealous and admired Rupert, so he heard that he was going to the banquet and suddenly felt down and nervous. When Philip faced him, he wanted to escape. He wanted to find Brandon, but he had to hide himself, beside the box and beside the piano. Time. face

Therefore, it is wrong to say that Philip is a pig teammate. Philip is the person with the highest criminal execution of the three teachers and students. He is simple and neat and has great strength. Without him, it is difficult to say that Brandon can play. Brandon is not nervous. Inferior to him caused the landlord's wife to see their abnormality, which was not a perfect murder. What's more, this film does not mainly talk about a perfect murder case. The prisoner left a lot of flaws while luring the detective to solve the case, and guided him in words. Philip only exposed all this. He saw through Brandon and saw through Rupert. , He said, "I hate you. You want me to do this. I hate you two." He knew that he was just a tool for Brandon to show the results to Rupert. He also knew that Rupert was not at all. They were sincerely in favor of the Superman theory as they had thought before, but they were just talking about it. He knew that Brandon and Rupert would ruin the three of them, and he, as the executioner, was the victim of this love and philosophical morality.

Finally, when everything came to an end, Brandon began to numbly drink with the last cup of David's life, and Philip, who had already foreseen all this, began his final performance on the piano.

Translation issues:

In the Chinese subtitle, Brandon said that Philip killed a chicken and was scared because the chicken stood up like a leprosy. The English subtitle said that the chicken killed by Philip was the same as the resurrected Lazarus... Then Philip probably It’s the brain that made up David’s collapse as he got up from the coffin like Lazarus
