Can you tell a story?

At the end of the film, have you figured out what Gent, Keaton and other suspects did and what kind of people they are?

At least I haven't figured it out exactly, because the whole movie is based on the scene from the beginning, some interspersions on the dock scene and the hospital in the middle, and an objective record at the end. From the beginning of the narration, most of them are from Jinte and Gao. The story told by the IQ actor. The police Keaton, who is affectionate for beautiful lawyers and righteous to disabled brothers, does not exist at all. It is just an imaginary character created by the cripple. The other characters in his mouth are true and false, which has already made people dare not make any judgments. , Which means that the film saw that it overturned all the content it had previously accepted.

At the end of the film, the customs commissioner said to the policeman in the office, "You are really messy here." Indeed, the whole wall is covered with plasters. The messy wanted order is very informative. American Pinkz mentioned "story sense" in the fifth chapter of his best-selling book "The New Thinking", saying, "If there is more information and it is easy to obtain, his value will be less. So who can organize the information to make it It is very important to have the context and express it emotionally." This paragraph made a small footnote for Kint's story performance.

First of all, his thoughts diverge very fast, and he is good at providing context for information, such as from coffee to dehydration to disgusting descriptions, forcing police officers to pour coffee rather than listen to their nagging; The tension began to edit again, and transferred this characteristic to the virtual choir members of a certain place (from the information in the wanted order on the wall); from the messy papers on the wall, a few characters were hand-picked, combined with the real criminal experience, plus I have a directional and purposeful imagination, what should be hidden, what should be added, virtual and real, weaving a smooth, dense and fascinating story network.

Secondly, he is not only a plotter, but also many emotional factors have been added to this network. For example, he described Keaton as a man who "eats soft food" and blames himself. He has a deep love for his lawyer's girlfriend, and he has a deep love for his girlfriend. The farewell details of staring affectionately and reluctantly almost moved the unsuspecting police officer to tears; and later he talked about Keaton's care for himself, a clear report that he never betrayed his brother's bloodliness and listened to the customs commission. The scene of sad and crying after the inference of "Keton using him" by the actor was very expressive and moving...Faced with these true feelings, the audience and the audience were busy restraining the tears in their eyes, where there is reason to doubt the emotion behind The logical attempt.

To sum up, a good storyteller must first have a smooth plot structure ability, and secondly, he must know how to lyric appropriately (note: not the sensationalism of some hosts), and emotionally hypnotize the listener to make him lose his judgment. If you want to find a spokesperson for the sense of story advocated in Pink's book, it is definitely a lame man. (I still used to call him lame, because he used such a striking feature to successfully divert people's attention, ignoring other details that might arouse suspicion). If you were sitting in the office, what kind of story could you make up to get rid of the difficult police?

Well, even if you don’t know how to make up stories, don’t you know how to listen to them? Not necessarily. Listening to the story is also a bit technical. When I heard the customs commissioner say "I am smarter than you", I knew it was not good. He once told the lame: Will a gang The suspect is in the cell, and the first one to fall asleep is the real murderer, because once arrested, his highly nervous nerves will relax. Little did he know that when he said that I was smarter than you, he was just letting go of his vigilance like other suspects, so he was destined to become a lame prisoner in this intellectual competition.

    There are many people who come to make up after watching "Wushuang". The most important thing for this kind of film is to be concise and fast. The most important thing for storytelling is not to structure too many intersections between people. The more intersections, the more holes there are. So the story of this cripple only has one or two characters. There are a lot of descriptions and manipulations, a lot of fragmented information, and follow the listener's thinking mode. Even if you look back and think that it is full of loopholes, you will be bluffed at that moment. However, "Wushuang" pays too much attention to the characters and the emotional part. During the listening process of the whole story, the audience has given enough time to think about the logic of each person's behavior, and it has not achieved the effect of bluffing people at all, so that the police actually paid the bill. Has become the most buggy bug.

    Kevin Spacey got the little golden man deserves his name, but he just made it up. This kind of skill is not something ordinary people can do.

The Usual Suspects quotes

  • Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you?

    Keaton: What did you say?

    Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus.

  • Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
