In Movie Salon #1, we watched a 2002 American movie sniping at the phone booth. From the script, the whole story takes place in a street, with a phone booth as the focus. The plot of the story happened in less than half an hour (the sniper in the movie mentioned half an hour), although the environment has not changed much, the picture has been facing a male protagonist who is calling in a public phone booth. , but the plot is very compact, and the plot constantly changes in the dialogue between the sniper and the male protagonist, which makes the whole movie very full. Interestingly, the promoter of the whole plot, that is, the key character of the film, the sniper himself, hardly appeared. The image of the male protagonist is from a liar full of lies at the beginning, to speaking his heart in order to save his life, and finally to completely revealing his heart in order to protect his wife, completing the role from selfish and slick-talking to protecting his wife and willing to sacrifice own growth. At the beginning, when calling the girl you want to pursue in the phone booth, he will take off the ring, indicating that although he is full of lies, he is not a bad person, and he has a conscience, leaving room for later changes. At the end of the movie, it was found that the sniper was not caught, but only a delivery boy who delivered pizza for the dead ghost. The indistinct figure that the sniper saw when the male protagonist was in a coma was a bit like the black and white impermanence that judged the sins of the world. He gave himself the power of God to reward good and punish evil, and could easily carry his sniper rifle around. Being in the middle of a group of cops means the story isn't over yet and there could be a sequel. In terms of performance, the male protagonist's acting skills are undoubtedly very good. His strength is strong, and the changes in various expressions can perfectly render the dramatic changes in the psychological state of the male protagonist at different stages in the script. The performance of others is more general, not particularly brilliant. Although the sniper has never appeared before, the dubbing is also very remarkable. At first, the tone was calm, but when he teased the male protagonist, he was almost crazy, indulging in his prey being controlled by him, and it can be well expressed only through the voice.
