As for the two female protagonists, I will not comment. Here I mainly talk about the male protagonists.
Many people say that the male protagonist doesn't know that his ex-girlfriend is locked in it, but the male protagonist does know, and the director has a hint at the beginning, and even keeps hinting (my God, keeps hinting...)
Let me tell you a few clues Bar.
1. At the beginning, the male protagonist was drinking in the bar and cried, and the second female stood behind the bar and talked to the middle-aged woman. The middle-aged woman said: A man will cry because he feels guilty. I didn't understand what this sentence meant at first.
2. After reversing the vision of the ex-girlfriend, the male protagonist took back a bunch of roses and threw them on the mirror. I understand here. In fact, the male protagonist knows that he also understands that the ex-girlfriend deliberately tries to test him, so he is a little angry and a little bit angry. Pissed off, he threw the rose to the mirror, but at this time the male protagonist should not know that his ex-girlfriend left the key outside.
3. It is also the vision of the ex-girlfriend. The male protagonist was drinking beside the bed and watching the video, and then said, I wish you good luck. Here it even shows that the male protagonist knows, but he feels that the female protagonist has played too much this time, so he doesn't want to play anymore.
4. The second woman is also in the bar. The second woman has already discovered that the first woman is locked inside. She asked the middle-aged woman in the bar to ask for a cigarette. The middle-aged woman only appeared twice in the whole film. The first time she said: one A man cries because he feels guilty. Although she didn't say anything in the second appearance, her reappearance is the answer to the sentence that appeared in the first appearance. The causal relationship between the two appearances is considered complete, otherwise why does the entire film only appear these two times? At this moment, I understood that the male protagonist actually knew all along, and the previous 3 o'clock also passed. A good suspense director will make every shot have its essential importance.
5. There are also many small tips, such as the male protagonist staring at the mirror many times, and the casual perfunctory when recognizing the corpse, etc.
Then some details can also be reasonably answered. After the male protagonist found out that his ex-girlfriend disappeared, the bottle of cream he found was a reminder. The male protagonist became suspicious, and then the male protagonist called his ex-girlfriend in front of the mirror, which was actually an attitude expression "Don't play Now, let's come out and talk." But he found that the phone couldn't get through, he probably didn't know that there was no signal in it, thinking that his girlfriend was doing too much, so he threw the rose on the mirror angrily and paid attention to the look in his eyes.
But at this time, he still loves his girlfriend in his heart, so he made some compromises when he was angry, such as drinking, being decadent, and calling the police, expressing that he cared about his ex-girlfriend. There is a detail in the police station, that is, he asked the police questions A bit perfunctory. But when he was at the bedside, watched that video one last time, and said: Good luck. He has made a decision and has given up his ex-girlfriend in his heart. It's a pity that he didn't know that his ex-girlfriend didn't have a key. So he went home with a woman, a greedy beautiful woman, who "performed" in front of the mirror for his ex-girlfriend. This is punishment and revenge for the ex-girlfriend. Fabiana is just a prop and plaything for the male protagonist.
As for whether the male protagonist knows that the female protagonist does not have a key, I am also a little confused. If the male protagonist knows, the second female will wear the key around her neck, and the male protagonist will definitely see it when the two are OOXX, but there is no explanation of these details here. . The second woman said that there was a ghost in the house, and then went to the washbasin in the bathroom with the male protagonist. The male protagonist said to the basin: "The ghost below listen, if you bother Fabiana again, you will be against me."
When I saw this, I still didn't understand whether the male protagonist knew it, but I felt that the male protagonist's language was a bit wrong, why did he have to use the words "oppose me"? Although the male protagonist has achieved some achievements, he has not behaved very well. Strong is not that kind of character, so when I heard this sentence, I felt that I used the wrong person.
Maybe I'm too imaginative, but I really doubt it.
But the male protagonist knows that there is no doubt that his ex-girlfriend is behind the mirror. Combined with the title of "Dark Side", the dark side here has multiple meanings:
First, it is the dark side in the room, that is, the little black room.
The second is the dark side of the human heart, the dark side of the ex-girlfriend's heart, and the dark side of the current girlfriend Fabiana's heart.
The third is the dark side of the hero's heart.
The third dark side is the real darkness. The dark side of the first two points is only the appearance of darkness. The darkest is also the deepest hidden.
There is a very powerful shot in the film, that is, looking through the mirror and seeing the face of the ex-girlfriend, it is a bit scary, but a good director hopes to let the audience break through the lens and see the deep meaning behind it.
In the little black house, the hearts of the two women and the heart of the male protagonist are all dark sides that can be seen, so what dark sides can we see after breaking through the camera?
Is it you, me, his heart?
Is this the fourth dark side?
