Recently, the new films have been weak, so I have watched a lot of old movies. Looking at it, I saw Brother Tang's 2001 "Vanilla Sky". The film deserves a few mentions:
1. Film remake of the 1997 Spanish film "Open Your Eyes";
2, the heroine of the play, Sophia, is the heroine of these two dramas (Americans like to remake, for example, the later violent neighborhood French background also moved to the United States);
3, Tom Cruise understands that in order to impact the Oscars, it must be broken, and there are also broken fragments in the later "Minority Report";
4, because the plot is controversial, so this is why I decided to write this article after watching it repeatedly for a long time, telling the truth of the matter.
Detailed synopsis
Most of the plot on the Internet is about this plot burning brain, the first half of the story tells with the runner Julie snapping, his own writer and dead party communication, and then at his own birthday party, the male protagonist's dead party brought his favorite girl to the banquet, and the result was that the protagonist had to cross the road to win love. At the banquet, Julie came uninvited, and the male protagonist was all kinds of cold to him.
The male protagonist also took the opportunity to talk to Sophia, so he successfully sent Sophia home. However, for the love of the male protagonist, the male protagonist will not treat the person he likes like the runner, and talk about a one-night love in Sophia, hurting the dead party. As a result, the next day Julie drove to the language to stimulate the male protagonist to get into his car, describing how much he loved the male protagonist in the car, and the male protagonist was impatient, (however, Julie did not sing Jaylen's song: describe how much I love you, but you smiled and left me, this feeling is no longer right, I am trying to save ... Julie's temperament is too fierce, so a car flew down the bridge to be martyred with the male protagonist.
The male protagonist barely survived with the aura of the protagonist, but the broken appearance and disability made him suffer from loss and loss, and when he had the courage to face Sophia, he also had the confidence and charming stinky skin bag of the past, and on the night of the bar, he, like other boys, was rejected by his favorite person: Wait for the next life to be a cat goodbye. The male protagonist is sad, the dead party is sad, and Sophia is also sad. The male protagonist even fantasized that the dead party and Sophia were together.
So the shot of waking up outside the bar has two meanings.
1. Dreaming
The male protagonist was woken up by Sophia, and the relationship between the two became better and better, and even his disfigured face was restored flawless with the help of the surgeon. Then, after a period of sexual bliss, I found that there were many things that were wrong:
From time to time, I return to the appearance of the broken appearance;
The dead Julie and Sophia by her side seem to be sharing bodies. These illusions made him feel that the board was rectifying himself, so he called the police himself and found that everyone said that Julie was Sophia;
Find the DreamLand Ranger and the people around you in the hotel can be controlled;
I don't understand why I went to jail.
So in the prison TV, he found clues and asked the psychologist to take him to discover the hidden plot.
2. The truth
After arriving at LE's company, he found himself in the bar that time, because of his face and rejection, which led to his own collapse, signed LE's products, and played himself to death. Then he erased most of his unhappy memories and let himself continue to dream after waking up in the bar. The dream administrator said that the male protagonist lived for 150 years, which was originally a dream, but because the subconscious intervention became a nightmare, he visualized himself to interfere and do the service in place: 1, free upgrade to continue to live in the dream; 2, let yourself wake up, now plastic surgery is not a thing, but will lose wealth to live in a world without Sophia. The male protagonist chose to return to reality this time. So I opened my eyes and the story ended (this passage made me think that Avatar's last shot was completely copied here).
Have to say the details
1, at the end of the bar roadside called herself up is Julie, the camera flashed by. Explain the choice of the male protagonist's heart, or give Julie the position.
2. The first encounter with the dream administrator at the dinner table, and even the conversation with the dream administrator on the roof later. In fact, it is stimulating the male protagonist to make a choice. The male protagonist jumped down, did he really wake up in the real world?
3, the male protagonist can not tell whether the partner in his dream is Sophia or Julie. Because he had never slept with Sophia, the contents of sleeping with Sophia were all Julie's shells.
4. The whole story is always interspersed with a conversation with a psychologist in prison. More is to talk about the inner world of the male protagonist, firmly the male protagonist loves Sophia, the board has a conspiracy, and the attending doctor and himself have become the nemesis.
My discussion
1, whether the male protagonist loves Julie or Sophia
The male protagonist actually loves both, because in the face of the rejection of the appearance, the male protagonist expresses his loss to Sophia in his heart. So he felt that Julie was more reliable. But because the male protagonist lacks nothing, what the male protagonist cares about is what he can't get. Therefore, the male protagonist seems to love Sophia, in fact, when facing setbacks, he also longs to be loved. It's just that he doesn't want to be bound by love (he resents the board's concern or interference with him) that he prefers to be with a girl like Sophia.
2, the male protagonist finally woke up?
The male protagonist finally woke up? I do not know. But ~ I don't know if you have noticed a scene at the beginning of the movie: the beginning of the movie is empty. Then I woke up to find myself dreaming, and then a conversation with a psychiatrist said I was charged with jail at the age of 33.
This detail, many people will forget when they see it, in fact, this detail is the beginning of the male protagonist's dream. To be precise, it was at the beginning of this cycle.
In the past 150 years, the male protagonist must have dreamed many times and cycled many times, sometimes Julie accompanied through life, sometimes Sophia accompanied through life. This time, I went to jail myself and spent my life.
So from this stage. He must have had dreams of spending his life fighting with the board and other dreams. Maybe I'll overdo it, but that's how clear it is to say the shots that appear in the center.
The dream administrator said that after the death of the male protagonist, Sophia was uncomfortable, and the good friend held a three-day funeral, in fact, these should be to appease the male protagonist and avoid the dream from continuing to deteriorate. Includes the last shot saying open your eyes (Julie's voice), as at the beginning of the shot. So he repeated the cycle in his dream and did not come back to life.
3. Why does Julie know that the male protagonist says that he is a runner?
In the play, the dead party does not think that he has betrayed the male protagonist, but this is the plot controlled by himself after death, and the male protagonist does not want anyone to betray him. Later, he also mentioned that the attending physician later became his own nemesis. Because the male protagonist needs a real friend in his heart. So from a realistic point of view, the dead party has betrayed himself for the sake of women.
4. Is there really a conspiracy on the board?
I think there is no conspiracy, the male main is really calculated, how can he become a rich second generation?
summary
After analysis, it is not difficult to see that this movie is a dream at the beginning. This setting seems to be the same as "Open Your Eyes", but in fact it is different.
Secondly, the male protagonist never woke up, which is the saddest, and the next circular drama is that he will live in a world without Sophia. Without a distraction, dreams don't become nightmares. This is the meaning of the existence of the dream administrator.
So the male protagonist is sad. Living in an era of looking at faces. But isn't this also the era of looking at faces?
