Sexy black stockings - a man's sober lust.
Fake Sean (John Travolta) went back to his "home" to see the real Sean's wife. The wife didn't notice the change in her husband, she just sat casually, with a soft white hand inadvertently caressing her. Petite feet wrapped in black stockings. The camera gave such a foot and a hand, the translucent temptation, and did not make any other explanations. Like a bird swept across the water, the bird has gone, the ripples are still there, circle after circle, the evil desire of fake Sean's greed is burning, and the story naturally pushes to continue. Contrasting the fake Kester (Nicolas Cage) who meets the lover of the underworld, with red lips and big breasts, urgent bed movement, one after another, there are contrasts, and they are all in line with the character's situation, the director's attention to detail can be seen. two.
Hands tying shoelaces - an old photograph of complex human nature.
When his younger brother died, Fake Sean couldn't help but cry without pain. The director ingeniously designed the details of tying the shoelaces. Is it like the care of my mother when I was a child, the warm old photos that have turned yellow in my memory? This shot is handled with warmth and transparency, explaining from the side why Kester's mistress has been waiting for him, silently giving birth to a child for him, and finally laying down his life for him. A person is not purely good or purely bad, there are traces of his character behavior, which are silently displayed in the details of the film.
The second face in search of identity - Sean's stroking hand.
Without identifying and analyzing the face of the true self, how can we prove ourselves? Sean's painful helplessness erupted during the tearful exchange with his wife, who raised his hand to try to touch and comfort his terrified wife, but then let it go. His classic forehead-to-jaw caressing gesture, which he habitually raised when he met Kester's lover, was eventually forced back. It was not until the end of the story that his big open hand touched it tenderly, and love overflowed between his fingers, so appropriate and vivid. This little detail runs through like an invisible thread, giving the story a sense of relaxation and power.
