It was the period of black and white silent films, Roy himself was a stuntman, and his nonsense story was also based on the plot of the film that was being filmed (in the end, with the gradual manifestation of Roy's suicide intentions, it evolved into a tragedy that was almost completely destroyed), presumably this story is in He must have a realistic style in his mind, with a darker color, maybe even black and white like the movie.
Alexandria is different. Although her father lost her father in her childhood and her family was at a loss, the curiosity of the child and the experience of living in the orangery created her colorful imagination, and she was not influenced by the film culture, so in one of the main lines of the film, she listened to Roy's story The brain theater unfolded later, showing huge color tension and godlike scene switching (5555 wants to kneel to the director every time I recall it...)
Of course, as a dream-making tool, the role of movies in expressing and expanding imagination should be is more than an influence that shapes and constrains the imagination. But I feel that the more specific and realistic the received stimulus (especially the visual one) is, the less easy it is for the human imagination to go beyond the boundaries of the stimulus itself. Therefore, comparing the imagination of Alexandria, who has never seen the movie, with the movie that was shown in the hospital at the end of the movie, looking at the similarities and differences between the characters and settings is a great charm of this film.
