deep fear and despair

Danin is so pathetic.

In the last twenty minutes, I understood the whole story.

Left: Camilla, Right: Danin

Danin and Camilla are gay people, they used to go to Hollywood together, but unfortunately, Camilla has been on the rise all the way, and Danin has been unknown. Then they slowly drifted apart... and finally Camilla broke up with Danin, she was going to marry a director. Danin begged Camilla to stay, but was ruthlessly rejected, hurt again and again, Camilla deliberately created scenes, constantly stinging Danin, and finally Danin collapsed. From love to hate, bribed a killer to kill Camilla.

In the end Camilla was killed. The killer gave Danin a blue key and told her to go to a beggar and get a blue box containing evidence that Camilla had been killed. Although Danin hated Camilla, when she knew she was really dead, Danin broke down... In the end, she couldn't take it anymore and committed suicide on the bed.

And before Danin died, she had a long dream. In the dream, she became Camilla, and the real Camilla was always by her side, and they were very happy together. However, the dream is always filled with a deep sense of fear and powerlessness, as if everything is fake,...

Grieving Danin/Betty

The director is great. I'm pretty sure this is the first time I've actually watched a thriller. Been taught a lesson!

The most amazing thing is that this dream that Danin had, which seemed absurd, was actually very logical. After reading the ending, everything is explained...

1) The man who was frightened to death by "One Face" was frightened to death by a recurring dream of his own, "Real Dream", when federal investigators were investigating him. In fact, it was Danin herself. She was half asleep and half awake, subconsciously hoping that she would not go to see the beggar. Camilla was not dead. The person being investigated by the federal investigators was not herself. "Danin didn't kill Camilla",...

2) That crappy killer, a series of stupid killings, is actually Danin's inner hope that he didn't really kill Camilla, the more rubbish he looks, the more likely Camilla is still alive.

3) Camilla forgot who she was at first, and named herself Rita. Later, when she saw the name tag on the chest of the restaurant waiter, she "remembered" that her name was Danin. In fact, in a dream, the real Danin transformed himself into a real Camilla, and the original Camilla became Danin, and their identities were switched. Danin is no longer the weak and helpless person, and Camilla is no longer so strong and cold. Danin has grown stronger, no longer blindly dependent on Camilla, on the contrary she needs her.

4) The unlucky director, his wife cheated on the cleaner, and blatantly kicked him out. In fact, it was what Danin really wanted to do in her heart. She wanted to drive him away, let him fail, and let him never be happy. Because in reality Camilla was going to marry him, and he broke them up.

5) One of the most terrifying places is that in a dream, when Betty and Rita found Danin's place together, they found that Danin had been dead on the bed for a long time... and when Rita saw Danin's face clearly, he found that it was his own! Horror! ! !

In fact, it has been paving the way all the time. Why is Betty so familiar with Danin's home? Why wasn't Betty surprised by Danin's death? Why was Betty so calmly covering her mouth when Rita screamed in horror when she saw Danin's face dead on the bed?

Because, Betty is Danin, Danin is Camilla, and Camilla is dead.

5) Midnight Theater, Silence, there is no band. Betty and Rita both burst into tears as the woman sang that heartbreaking song hoarsely because, it was them who sang, heartbreaking Love?

*

The director is very cool. This "lucid dream" Danin had before committing suicide was horrible!

The most terrifying part is that you think you are dreaming, but in fact you are very awake. What you want to become in the subconscious, the unfulfilled wishes in reality are just a nightmare that never ends.
