After he came into contact with the last link of clues-the drug dealer The Pin, The real murderer finally began to emerge.
"And the guy who killed her... is really, really close."
All conspiracies originally originated from a "brick"...
The sound effects of the movie created by Nathan Johnson for this seemingly ordinary detective story It adds a touch of sentimentality. The notes are filled with loneliness, the empty streets, the gurgling water and the thin wrists of his girlfriend Emilie...The pictures are blurry and real, just like the two worlds inside and outside the frame of Brendan's nearsighted glasses. .
The plot is indeed a bit licensed, but from another point of view, it can be regarded as a tribute to a series of Film Noir by the director. Some plots are intentionally or unintentionally derived from the old film Maltese Falcon (Bird’s Nest/Eagle of Malta) in 1931.- -The fuse of the two stories is the disappearance of a woman, and they have been with a group of mysterious friends before; there is a resourceful military adviser in the story to provide intelligence and cover for the protagonist ("The Brain"); the protagonist is looking for The truth is also under pressure from the authorities (the police in Maltese Falcon, and the vice-principal in Brick),...Of course, a femme fatale is indispensable (the sexy and dangerous rich girl Laura). ).
Finally, and the most obvious point, the titles of the two movies are the key props in the play-an eagle-like ornament and a "brick" respectively.
PS.
-Two recent movies that the protagonist Joseph participated in, Brick and Mysterious Skin and Ang Lee’s "Brokeback Mountain" were both
filmed by Focus Features; -The sound effects and soundtrack of the film were created by Nathan Johnson, who is also the lead singer and guitarist of the American rock band Cinematic Underground;
-The film is in the director himself Shot from San Clemente High School, the middle school where Brendan once attended; Kasprzyk, the English teacher mentioned by Brendan in the vice-principal's office, is actually a real person, and is known for being tough but fair;
-Laura mentioned knocking in the film The door code (long-short-long-short) is exactly the same as the code in Maltese Falcon;-because the
film contains a lot of gangs and drug dealing plots, the director and production staff have done a very detailed research before shooting, and the film is about drugs The number of cuts is quite difficult for the general audience to listen to (there is a corresponding pamphlet explanation outside the movie screening,You can also find it on the official website.)
