Addicted to the temperament of the west can not extricate themselves

Another film starring Jesse Eisenberg

The same fast talk, the same otaku appearance, the same dull tone

Light xiu feels translated into a dual personality

not quite appropriate

It can lead to preconceptions that tell a story of split personality

For example, "Black Swan" is a long-term mother's excessive expectations of herself, which has created huge pressure

'The Mechanic' is a psychological trauma after a hit-and-run car accident

"Hide and Seek" is about being unable to let go after killing his wife

'Deadly ID' is about resenting the fact that his mother was a prostitute as a child

'Shutter Island' was traumatized by killing his own wife

"Fight Club" is because the boring and empty life made him have a strong desire to escape

However, is about

One day, someone who looks exactly like you suddenly appears in your life

The "Colonel" that keeps repeating in the film and this strange company

It should be based on the study of human clones

For example, the security guard downstairs of the company is divided into working day workers and rest day workers

And they have the same face

Even he is still on duty in the hospital

It can be seen that the use of human clones is not the first case

But people are busy with their own chores and no one cares about other people's lives

No one really cares if there is only one self

Just imagine this sudden appearance of James

Is taking your place and taking away your "fragmented presence"

even make your beloved girl sad

This is driving Simon crazy...

Simon & James

being like two selves

Simon has been in obscurity

Although some bitter things happen in life

But Simon can take it

Now even his own identity is threatened

become completely transparent

Having worked for the company for 10 years is not as convincing as an ID card

Simon's hard-working regression analysis is also owned by James

Even James also borrowed his identity to deal with the boss's daughter and the heroine

All these changes finally made Simon, who has always been cowardly and silently accepted the type without arguing.

decided to do something

He can't learn James's wit and smoothness

This made Simon, whose life was disrupted, felt a sense of frustration.

He used to think about suicide

But a fight at the cemetery taught him that

His connection with James

empathy

He could totally disguise himself as James

The same appearance and deliberately imitated words

can easily make ordinary people think of him as James

And so began a war purely for self-presence

He planned and killed James

Also pretending to jump off the building

From now on, there is only one Simon in the world

He is free, no bondage, no comparison

He is a presence

presence

is to fight for

The former Simon would only choose to suffer silently

You can't fully express yourself when ordering at a restaurant

He used the excuse of being considerate to hide his cowardice

The gift to the beloved girl has never been dared to give her

Secretly collect the girl's work and glue the scraps of paper together

Silently observe the girl opposite through the binoculars

like a voyeur

In fact, he just has low self-esteem and is not good at expressing himself.

Lack of courage, he can only live like a transparent puppet

He is not appreciated by his boss

Not getting the attention of those around you

It's all because of his "silence"

He may not have extreme emotions even in his ordinary life

However, James naturally got everything Simon wanted

Not how good he is

But he knows how to sell himself

It is also a kind of ability to be good at showing oneself

The confidence James has is exactly what Simon needs

So the sense of existence is something you strive for

Because not everyone can see inside people

Your efforts and valuable qualities may be consumed by your inferiority complex

To outsiders, you are just another ordinary person

repressed storytelling

But there is no lack of color

This dark and textured style

It's very advanced

You see Simon struggling alone

How many times have you been stopped by the company downstairs?

How many times have you been replaced by James inexplicably?

This repression is manifested in a dimly lit set

In the second half of the film, the contradictions are stacked and gradually intensified

get excited about the movie

Simon plots suicide and murder

In his mind, images of two people coexisting often appeared in his mind.

Make people misunderstand that he has some unknown mental problems

He wisely called the emergency call in advance and found the foothold of the "pseudo-suicide"

Simon saw the girl's gaze while lying on the ground

Hear the confirmation of his identity from the outside world

He knew he had succeeded

You are now your unique "me"

Pretty unique

Hope you can watch the full video too

Indulge in the unique temperament of Juanxi like Guangxiu

The speed of speech is super fast and the logic is super clear

A textured actor with his own wisdom and blessing


At the end of the article, I want to tell everyone that Guangxiu also opened his own public account

A hot beam of light xiu

OR xiuxiuxiu_light

Guangxiu, wait here for a long time

The Double quotes

  • The Colonel: There aren't too many like you. Are there, Simon?

    Simon: I'd like to think I'm pretty unique.

  • James: I would tear the asshole off an elephant for a piece of trim I wanted that bad.
