3 good stories, spoilers

A story told by different people has different effects, and Christopher Nolan is undoubtedly the most fascinating one to tell it. I believe that many like me have become Nolan fans without turning back after watching the Batman prequels.

Yesterday I watched "Follow", Nolan's first feature film; it was said to be a feature film, but it was only 1 hour. This film was filmed in 1998 and is a black and white movie, but this is not uncommon--in today's flood of 3D, Nolan has long claimed that the third Batman in 2012 was still shot in IMAX, refusing to use immature 3D technology.

In "Following", Bill is a stalker. He often picks a random person on the street and stalks him. Bill also sets many rules for himself to abide by. Of course, this kid is lonely. Cobb is a break-in who breaks into houses, but not for the purpose of stealing money, he said, to give people a new attitude to discover what they have but turn a blind eye to. And after Bill and Cobb cooperated, he took Cobb to his house on the first stop and asked him to examine himself as an intruder. In this story, the director is actually Cobb, the audience looks at Bill, but actually thinks of themselves, and Cobb takes the audience to examine their own lives.

It turned out that everything that happened before was just a plan by cobb. He wanted to find a ghost to get rid of the suspicion of a previous murder. Later, it turned out that both the model and Bill were just cobb's pawns. In the end, Cobb took the money and left, disappearing into the crowd.

This film is exactly the same as "Inception", and the terrible thing is that the two protagonists are called cobb. The three stories in "Follow" are interspersed with interlaced narratives, and at each point the audience reexamines the facts they believe. While the audience is choosing between two possibilities, a third possibility arises. Nolan himself has said this, his films, the audience sees the back and sees what they saw before from a new perspective.

This is how the three stories make a good film. In the end, don't forget that this film is only one hour in total.
