From the debut novel "Shallow Grave" to the very famous "Trainspotting" to "slumdog" to "127 Hours", weird, dazzling, fast-paced, has always been Boyle's business card, supplemented by the first classic British ditty , I feel like I'm sinking into the carpet every time I hit the stimuli. This weird and laughing man has always been a non-mainstream in mainstream movies. If you are fed up with Hollywood's pipeline movies, but have difficulty entering the ethereal European art film field as a literary youth, Danny Boyle is definitely you. dishes.
Psychedelic.
There is no way to stop.
The plots such as implanting ideas and hypnosis are similar to "Inception", and Simon's process of chasing memories is very similar to "Memento".
Gambling addict, famous painting auctioneer, and thief Simon, as a member of the stealing team, "lost his memory" when he stole Goya's famous paintings, and tried to arouse his memories through hypnotherapy to find the famous paintings. During the hard treatment, hypnotist Elizabeth found that Simon was not amnesia but hid his memory. With E's help, he sees the weakness of his fierce companion, transforming a hidden missing memory into an obsession with E. After discovering that E was sleeping with the group leader Franck, S was extremely jealous and finally took his crush on E to the extreme and found a buried memory. In this story, it is difficult for people to understand what is true and false, and the truth and falsehood of each paragraph in the treatment process are worth pondering. Memory, hallucination and reality are mixed, the fast editing is very dazzling, and the strong rhythm background music makes me psychedelic, desperate but addicted. McAvoy's unobtrusive performance is definitely a plus.
The story doesn't end there. Simon, who was almost lost in the illusion and memory, finally remembered that he was the man who violently hurt E. It turned out that he was addicted to E to the point of extreme selfishness and possessed, and E had to leave him. Simon's pursuit of E makes E choose to use hypnosis to lock himself in the depths of his memory. Simon, who was stimulated to awaken his memory, eventually went to doom.
Many people criticize the psychedelic plot as having flaws, such as the exaggerated role of hypnotherapy, such as the tumultuous romance between Elizabeth and Franck.
In the face of such a film, with the psychedelic and indistinguishable scenes, just like the irresistible pleasure I had when I watched Ivan inject drugs, I couldn't resist this lethal indulgence.
But this time, it is no longer a dream of a young life, but a doomed self-destructive redemption of indulging to death, despair to death, and madness to death.
For this madness, no matter how absurd it is.
