David Fincher, one of the few directors who disregarded the audience's brain development level and the audience's viewing experience, this time he used "Mind Game" to squeeze our IQ again. You don't have to be complacent if you understand it, because the ending will still subvert your self-righteousness; if you don't understand it, you don't have to scratch your head, because everyone has their own "Hamlet".
The protagonist of the film is a successful investment banker in his career, but he is a complete failure in life. The marriage with his wife broke down, and there was no friendship. The only friend might be his younger brother. In order to help him better understand the world and re-understand himself, his younger brother designed a series of bizarre games. Under the manipulation of these games, the male protagonist turned from anticipation to anger, from anger to despair, and finally the male protagonist jumped from the high-rise building and drew a reversal arc. The two arcs are completely different. life.
Objectively speaking, the film has many flaws in the plot, but it is still a suspenseful masterpiece. The game in the film is not only set for the protagonist, but also for everyone. Through this game, I mocked the materialization of interpersonal relationships, satirized the indifference of human feelings, and made fun of real life.
Perhaps this is David Fincher's suspense film, which contains coldness, unease, and despair. Even if these coats are torn apart, we still see no hope.
