This time "The Invisible Guest" is naturally completely different from Li Yi's previous literary films.
First of all, in terms of film arrangement, the treatment is completely different.
Of course, the box office is self-evident. Although the first-day box office did not reach the peak of Li Yi's past movies, the box office exceeded 200 million in 24 hours, which was enough to stop those who were waiting to see Li Yi's undefeated myth.
The key is that "The Invisible Guest" has a very good reputation. It has a score of more than nine on Popular Film Critics. Although this score will decline as the release time of subsequent movies increases, it is enough to prove the excellence of this movie. .
Of course, spoilers are inevitable. As long as the movie is released, it is impossible to continue to guard against spoilers.
But soon, the topics discussed by netizens changed again.
The first change is that many netizens have begun to find the fun of watching this movie, which is to dig out the details of the movie.
In a movie, especially a suspenseful mystery film, details can be said to be indispensable.
The same is naturally true for "The Invisible Guest". It can be said that there are enough details for the audience to discover.
For the audience, looking for details that are not well known to the public is also one of the joys of watching movies.
""The Invisible Guest" is really full of details. In fact, it starts from the first shot of the movie."
"First shot?"
"Yes, you know, Goodman is a barrister with a gold medal. For such a barrister, her net worth and status can be said to be no less than those of some rich people. But did you notice that when she arrived at the hotel, she It was a taxi!
Of course, some people may say, can’t barristers take taxis? Of course you can, but the key is, did you notice that at the end, when the real lawyer Goodman came, he took a private car and had his own driver driving the car!
I think this should be considered a detail, right? "
"What you said above makes sense. Although it is said that a barrister can also take a taxi, does it mean that she doesn't have her own car? She has a gold medal of 30 years in the industry. Take a taxi? Haha!"
"Then, the second detail, entering the elevator, as a barrister with a gold medal with thirty years of experience, she actually had to adjust her clothes and take a deep breath. This can be said to be an obvious sign of nervousness!"
"Yes, so I immediately guessed that this lawyer Goodman was weird, haha! Now that I think about it, Director Dog probably leaked these details deliberately."
"Have you forgotten the action of putting the handbag down?" Someone else mentioned this detail.
"Yes, yes, her action of putting down her handbag is exactly like a real barrister's action of putting down her handbag. However, I don't quite understand this detail."
"What's not clear about this? It's actually telling us that she was fully prepared for this big show. Don't forget that she was once an actor, and actors have a course in character observation. I think she was observing A real barrister for a long time!”
“Does a pocket watch count as a detail?”
"It must count, right? The role of the pocket watch should be more obvious. The pocket watch has two functions. The first is to calculate the time when the real lawyer will arrive, and the second is to disturb the male protagonist's mind. And the camera shows the pocket watch several times, It is also very illustrative. Of course, there is another very, very crucial point.
time! Goodman said it was three hours, but in fact, it was not that long at all, just because the only thing that allowed the male protagonist to know the time here was his pocket watch, and his cell phone was turned off by Goodman. "
"About pocket watches and the sound of pocket watches, everyone knows that sounds, especially such rhythmic sounds, can easily affect people's emotions. It is not that the male protagonist has never doubted the identity of Goodman's lawyer, but after that So it was not discovered because Goodman deliberately disturbed the male protagonist's mind. Goodman put the watch before the conversation. There was a small detail. Every time the male protagonist decided whether to tell her the details and the truth, there was music in the background. There will be the sound of the second hand moving. Tick-tock-tick. Tick-tock. In addition, Goodman answered n phone calls during these three hours of conversation. After answering the phone, there were the actor's expressions and actions, such as touching his beard and touching his face with his fingers. Waiting for action, psychologically speaking, he is thinking about whether to tell the truth. In this situation with no retreat, he has no time to worry about the authenticity of the lawyer's identity!
Many people say that the male protagonist is too stupid. The mother obviously has many flaws, but he didn't notice it at all. This is entirely because from God's perspective, he didn't see how she came to be, nor how she came to be. I didn't see her nervousness in the elevator.
As for the rest, as mentioned above, usually no one would think that the person in front of them is pretending! "
"Actually, I guessed that it was fake from the moment the actor told us the first version, because the details have been told to us a long time ago. As long as we look at it carefully, we can definitely guess that he is lying! Details, details, details.
In the first version of the male protagonist’s narration, Laura pointed to the car the boy was driving and said: I accidentally hit his car, and then the boy’s cell phone rang. Laura said it was a call from the insurance company, and then After trotting to the car to answer the phone, Laura pressed the boy’s phone and put his phone in her pocket!
But later in the story, he said that Laura was at the boy's parents' home. When the boy's parents were about to call the boy, she hurriedly hid the phone under the pillow, and then the boy's father, Thomas, walked in and asked if he heard anything. Did it ring? She answered without hesitation: No!
Is she deaf?
If she was really as calm and unscrupulous as the hero said, she wouldn't be so panicked. These details, the details full of loopholes, are all foreshadowing to overthrow version one! "
"There is also a lighter, the lighter is really a wonderful thing! Laura lit up the cigarette, the old father saw the lighter in the car, and then found Chen De'an and deliberately took out a cigarette. Chen De'an used the lighter to light the cigarette for him. This is a very key point Although there are no specific words to describe the clues in the movie, there is a wonderful feeling that silence is better than sound at this time!
And I have to say that Director Dog really put his mind into it, for example, why there are human skin masks, because the couple met in the theater, and there are still photos and souvenirs of human skin masks hanging on the wall. These are all paving the way for why she can act so well!
Speaking of photos, I have to say that this movie is really awesome. At the beginning on the road, Laura took a lot of photos with the camera. She didn’t think about it so much at the time, but later, when the male protagonist received a photo of a dumped body When I was taking photos of the location, I suddenly felt like I was suddenly enlightened and amazed.
Because it is so detailed, earlier, Laura had a scene in the car looking at the photo in the camera, and that photo happened to be the photo of the postcard the hero received!
If anyone had looked at this carefully before, it would not be difficult to guess that this was what Laura sent to him!
By the way, there is one more detail. I discovered it when I read it for the third time. When I first showed the photo in the newspaper to the male protagonist, he could actually see the whole picture! But because I didn't pay much attention at the time, I didn't notice the problem. Later, Goodman covered the mirror in the photo with his hand. It can be said that the details are really full! "
"Looking at another detail, the mother was very calm after hearing that the male protagonist killed the female protagonist, but when she learned that her son was still alive before being pushed into the lake, she angrily accused the male protagonist of being a scumbag. Isn't this true? Echoing the final scene in which the female lawyer peels off her mask to reveal her true face, a mother's anger is expressed when she learns that her child did not die after being hit but was drowned by the perpetrator.
Of course, she was actually very professional at first, but later I found that she kept looking out the window at the building opposite. Maybe you who watched the movie at the time also wondered why she kept looking there. Later, when the male protagonist reveals more and more truths, the lawyer's angry expression almost explodes. Maybe you will be surprised: although the male protagonist is really a scumbag, as his defense lawyer, he reprimands him so excitedly. My employer is not very professional. Now combined with the ending, I think it was a scam from the beginning, which is very scary! "
The attention to detail in these discussions left many viewers who had only watched it once confused.
"Damn it, why do I suddenly feel like I haven't seen this movie at all?"
"Who says it's not? Damn it, is it so obvious?"
"So, Director Gou is really sincere in this movie. Although it is brain-burning, in fact, it has never been mysterious. From the beginning, it left everyone with clues to reveal the mystery. This is what we want to see. What a great movie! It’s not about some vague and confusing stuff, but stuff that everyone knows, but it’s just these that make the whole movie feel confusing and awesome!”
"Laura was wearing a silver bracelet on her hand, and in one shot, Laura's silver bracelet actually fell on the car when she was carrying the body. In the shot, the bracelet eventually sank with the body. In the lake, in fact, from this point of view, whether the silver bracelet is in the lake or not can be used as evidence whether Laura handled the car or the male protagonist handled the car.
The irony is that the male protagonist doesn't know, otherwise, he probably wouldn't tell the truth so easily, right?
Therefore, evidence can sometimes be deceptive! This also illustrates the problem from another perspective. If the male protagonist does not tell the truth, even if the place where the body was buried and the vehicle are found, it will be difficult to really convict Chen De'an because the evidence is in his favor! "
"Damn it, I feel like I have to go over it again. Damn it, there are so many details. Why didn't I notice them when I looked at them?"
"I thought the lawyer was a bit weird at first, but I didn't think much about it, but I was really dumbfounded by the rest."
"By the way, people who noticed that photo are really cool. Are you really going to see a movie?"
"Since when do you have to stare at these things while watching a movie? By the way, how many times have you watched it? I don't believe you can find so many details after watching it for the first time!"
"Don't say anything, I'm already booking tickets!"
"Haha, it's not over yet.
In fact, there is another thought-provoking detail in the movie. Let’s try to think about it. The boy’s mother pretends to be a lawyer to reason (fabricate) the boy’s father to the male protagonist. How to lure the male protagonist and Laura into the hotel room as a driver and how to kill people in a secret room and cleverly frame the male protagonist to restore every detail...
Moreover, even the male protagonist did not find that there was a problem with her identity, so on the other hand, if they wanted revenge at this time, would it be easy?
In other words, the couple could have used such a sophisticated secret room murder method to carry out more thorough revenge on the male protagonist, but in the end they chose the riskier and more difficult method of pretending to be lawyers and using the law to punish the male protagonist.
Kind people sacrifice so much that they will not be devoured by these unscrupulous demons.
This is the biggest essence of the whole film, right? "
"When the male protagonist began to recall to Goodman what happened after waking up, he said that he heard a knock on the door first. Under normal circumstances, when a person just wakes up from a coma, when he hears a knock on the door, he will directly open the door instead of turning around. Go aside and look at the murder weapon. In fact, there is also a very obvious flaw here. If it is not the murderer, why did you look at the murder weapon in the first place? "
“I’ve seen so many people talk about details, but why doesn’t anyone mention the details of the pen?
Haven't you noticed that Goodman, the female lawyer pretending to be her mother, would write down a few keywords in a small notebook from time to time? This is the function that an ordinary pen should have.
But there is a detail here, the action of her placing the pen.
If you have ever worked as a journalist, you will definitely be familiar with this and know exactly what he is doing - putting the recorder on during the interview. "
“So in summary, in fact, the details of the entire film, the key details, are actually achieved through four small objects, a pocket watch, a pen, a mask, and a lighter!
Just four small objects can push the whole story to a climax and gradually clear away the clouds.
The truth is hidden in the footage that I have seen but not carefully observed. Those seemingly useless things are all hiding energy, waiting to explode.
This is a suspense film, it should have small objects and great energy, and this is what other suspense films should learn from.
Instead of just setting an unexpected ending at the end, the ending should be set in all the scenes that have been shown, rather than something unexpected. So, the dog director is awesome! Get ready to brush again to see if there are any details you haven’t discovered yet! "
"Damn it, what you said makes sense, but what the hell, why do I feel so stupid? Why didn't I see it? Not even half of it!"
"Me too. The first time I thought what the male protagonist said was true, and then the second time, I thought it was false. Finally, I was completely dumbfounded! I really didn't expect so much. It was just a movie, and my balls ached. Go find these things!”
