The mysterious beauty disappeared overnight, and the otaku searched for a red face without sleep
The male protagonist, Sam, is played by "The Amazing Spider-Man", an otaku who has nothing to do and cannot even pay the rent. He has only two pleasures in his life: one is to spy on beautiful neighbors, and the other is to indulge in the comic book "Bottom of the Silver Lake".
One day, Sam was given the opportunity to talk to sarah, the goddess's neighbor, and sit at her house, but the next day Sarah's house was empty. Sam rummages into Sarah's house and accidentally finds a mysterious woman who has taken the contents of her closet and finds a symbol of unknown significance on the wall of Sarah's house.
Sam's love is shattered overnight, he vows to find Sarah, and follows the mysterious woman all the way into a party, where Sam meets the dancer full of balloons and the daughter of the missing rich man in Los Angeles, and he finds the goddess's hat in the news that the rich man is buried in the fire that night, and he feels more and more confused.
Soon he received a phone call from the author of Bottom of the Silver Lake, and after the two met, the occult author of Bottom of the Silver Lake told Sam that the symbol in Sarah's home was a secret phrase between homeless people in the 1930s, meaning "keep quiet."
He warns Sam that the world is full of codes and codes that ordinary people can't decipher, that those who know the secrets will be wiped out, and that the map of the giveaways in the medieval cereal he received five years ago will guide him to the land of truth. Sam thus officially embarked on a grand adventure to find the goddess.
In the process, he discovered a set of hidden rules for the world: songs sung by popular bands, and the lyrics hid riddles; the composer who wrote the music that influenced generations was actually a perverted old man who lived alone; the information obtained by ordinary people in life was actually the product of careful manipulation by the upper class and the media...
While Sam is shocked, he also firmly believes that there must be a person behind this who manipulates the whole situation, and the disappearance of the goddess Sarah is also inseparable from this, and he wants to discover the earth-shattering secrets hidden in the depths of the city by the rich class...
Punch Hollywood money worship and pay tribute to many film classics
For the plot party, the layers of suspense of "The Bottom of the Silver Lake" are addictive, and for fans of the film, "The Bottom of the Silver Lake" is definitely a delicious feast that combines popular elements and classic works.
"Bottom of the Silver Lake" pays tribute to many film history classics such as "Rear Window" and "Ecstasy" in the story, and also imitates some classic scenes of famous movies such as "On the Verge of Collapse" and "Rebel without a Cause". Nintendo Magazine is necessary to solve all the riddles, and Sam's ringtones are from the game The Last Ninja from the ancient console Commodore 64.
Not to mention the composer's free-throwing music: Joan Jett's I Love Rock N'Roll, Nirvana's Smiles Like Teen Spirit, Richie Valence's La Bamba, Leprechaun's Where Is My Mind, and so on — and of course, the most shocking thing about the composer is that he also claimed that Ode To Joy was also written by him!
The film uses metaphors more, so that the movies interspersed in the plot and the character themes cleverly echo, and from time to time to spoof, so that "Hacksaw Ridge", "Social Network", "The Amazing Spider-Man" starring Andrew Garfield generously blackened himself, single-handedly throwing off the superhero comics.
The film is a love letter to pop culture and film lovers, and at the same time, with the help of a large number of popular symbols, it is a ruthless criticism of the complicity of popular culture and capital and the extreme madness of the rich and the rich.
Hollywood's loud and colorful party is sung night after night, the actors have a dream of a star that has become popular overnight, and the daughter of a rich man can still laugh when her father disappears. Illusions are intertwined with reality, and the desire for material desires controls everyone's mind.
Paper drunk gold fans, entertained to death, is a true portrayal of the dream of Los Angeles. At the end of the story, the otaku fails to save the world, and even the adventure of pursuing the goddess itself seems to have become a fever-like illusion.
