Therefore, what a cat is most afraid of is not that someone in the film has poor acting skills, but that he was spoiled by red fruit before watching the film. You can make up for the following scene by yourself: I finally got off work on time one day, and I didn’t have an appointment at night. Finally, I can make up for a classic suspense movie that I downloaded before but never had time to watch. Before getting off work, I said happily with my colleagues, "Let's go first, I'm going to watch xxx tonight", and from the corner came silently, "The male protagonist is Psyco"... Then it was two and a half hours of resentment, "Everyone come and find fault" Movie viewing time T_T So a certain cat always felt that those movies on Baidu Encyclopedia were masterpieces caused by the anger of the spoilers.
In fact, directors are also using various methods to exclude "actors" spoilers. The most important iron is: too famous actors can't be murderers or behind the scenes. As a result, some directors simply don't tell you who the murderer is, such as "The Tenant" in 1927; therefore, some directors simply appear in an all-star cast, such as "Murder on the Orient Express" in 1974. (Small spoiler: There are actually so many "murderers" in this movie adapted from Grandma's novel.)
Excluding the above-mentioned human factors, various things such as "Why is this technique so familiar? It seems that the murderer in a certain novel also does this", Or "As the director's official friend, it's not normal for this actor to have his braids so early, and he will definitely be resurrected", or "When someone hangs up the movie, it should be over? No, it's not halfway there" and so on. It's not a spoiler, it's a suspense, a surprise reserved by the director for the audience, an easter egg that won't be opened until the last minute. Of course, it is the director's skill to decide whether the egg is flying or chocolate. But first of all, suspense can't be thrown away, or is it different from popcorn movies?
. . . . . . cut. . . . . . I want spoilers. . . . . .
Pulling back to The Illusionist, the opening scene is dark, flashbacks, and the police detective narrates the memories: the son of a carpenter and the Hungarian duchess, childhood sweethearts with disparate status, were brutally separated by their parents, so the young man left in a fit of anger. After many years, she learned illusion (...) and returned to perform. After many years, she met again, only to find that she was about to marry a woman. Watching the movie so far, I can't help but complain: It's a bit too bland, isn't this the legendary NC love drama?
No, there must be a later move. Sure enough, when Jin Feng Yulu met, the firewood was on fire... Well, the problem is that the heroine's fiancé has a violent and powerful personality. God horse can not afford to offend ah. If you can't be provoked, you can always hide, so the hero and heroine are ready to elope. Wait a minute, there is a key person in the middle: Mr. Detective, this person not only really wants to know the magician's magic tricks, but also the crown prince's gold spy, who is solely responsible for the paparazzi of the heroine, the future princess, no, monitoring behavior. So, by coincidence, Mr. Detective discovered the "adultery" of the male and female protagonists, as well as their elopement plan.
At this point in the story, the first two suspense have emerged: how to escape from the clutches of the crown prince and start a happy life for the two of them; and whether Mr. Detective can finally know the magic trick. So with these two questions, a certain cat continued to watch the movie.
Then the bloodiest thing happened in the whole article. The heroine, who had already eloped abroad, returned to the crown prince's castle, announced the divorce, and then left the room. Then, the crown prince, who was thoroughly enraged, chased out with his sword in hand. The heroine fled into the stable and disappeared from the picture, then the crown prince entered, then, screaming for mercy, the clanging of the sword, and then, a white horse carrying the unconscious heroine rushed out of the castle. Until the next morning, her body was found by the river. The police concluded that the case was a robbery by the gypsies.
Wait, the heroine has her braids up? ! No, this is only halfway through! Isn't it, is it all the thunder dramas of revenge for love? No, no, there must be a back move, keep watching.
Then, heartbroken, the magician left the original stage and began his new "illusion" performance: spiritualism. The police detective, on the one hand, felt that the death of the female protagonist was strange, and began to doubt the crown prince; on the other hand, he became more and more curious about the new magic of the male protagonist.
Finally one day, the male protagonist "summoned" the "undead" of the female protagonist during the performance, and the audience of the magic show was high: Duchess, were you murdered? Who is the murderer? Is it the Crown Prince? Well, the crown prince said that this kind of problem is discordant, and the performer and the questioner are not an example. However, the magician once again "summoned" the heroine "undead", and disappeared from the stage in full view before the detectives caught him. The detective finally got his wish and entered the magician's studio, and "unintentionally" found evidence that the crown prince killed the heroine.
At this point in the film, all the facts have been presented to our audience and the police detectives in the play. The next thing to do is to integrate, find out the truth, and expose the murderer.
Then, the "big bad" Crown Prince despaired of all the conspiracies being exposed, and then took his own life. Mr. Detective has been honorably... fired for his heroic disclosure of the truth.
Wait, the above clip seems a little too Disney, is the movie over? A certain meow was disappointed. Although the poignant love is still worth watching, it is too simple. Shouldn't there be a reversal of the plot?
Sure enough, the detective finally got the magic trick he once wanted, and then, watching the train leaving the male protagonist, suddenly some previous clips flashed back: Wait, what a big game of chess, it turns out that this is all magic, it turns out This scene started before the elopement. It turned out that the crown prince was the one who was framed. It turned out that we have been kept in the dark. But what does it matter? Justice should always be served, conspirators should always be punished, and lovers should always be fulfilled. So like a police detective, a certain cat laughed at himself but also laughed happily ^O^
This time it is finally over, and there is no plot twist this time. However, I still have a little regret in my heart: what is the principle of the magician's "summoning"? Is it really a slideshow, or an early movie tape? There is no answer in the play, but it doesn't hurt. After all, the whole story is a large-scale magic show by a magician. After all, magic has to leave some suspense, right?
