The master's trick has another hidden plot - "The Master of Lies"
Today, let's talk about the movie "Master of Lies".
Title The Good Liar (2019), alias Big Liar (Taiwan) / Scam Lie (Hong Kong) / Good Liar.
"Master of Lies" tells the story of Roy Courtnay, a veteran professional swindler, who meets a widowed old rich woman, Betty Betty McLeish. After the two met with the help of dating software, they met and hated late, and immediately fought hotly, with a feeling of twilight love for the old.
"Master of Lies" is starred by two big names.
Playing the professional liar is Sir Ian McLean, who plays "Gandalf" in The Lord of the Rings. Mr. Old, who won the Lifetime Achievement Award at the San Sebastian International Film Festival, is 82 years old and plays a full-fledged old liar.
Playing the widow of the rich woman is Oscar actress Helen Millen, who won the queen elizabeth in 2006 for her role as Queen Elizabeth in the movie "The Queen". The 75-year-old grandmother's style did not diminish that year, and the audience had the privilege of getting a glimpse of the goddess's old age.
In fact, the poster of "Master of Lies" is already full of highlights.
Sir Ian and Helen Mirren, in black and white, divide the picture into two, foreshadowing a conflict. And the black and white division of the two is also different, Helen Millen represents a white that occupies slightly more layout than Sir Ian's black, and white is slightly more than black, does it mean that Helen Millen will overshadow Sir Ian?
In the film, almost all the time follows the perspective of roy, a professional swindler, and the audience can only see things through Roy's point of view, and it is easy to replace themselves with the role of Roy.
Watching Roy attack everywhere in the mall love scene, "mixing" everywhere, I thought it was a comedy funny thing about an elderly liar. And from Roy's point of view, Betty's grandmother is simply an ignorant woman caught in twilight love, and there seems to be no room for counterattack at all. The film also only shows a little bit of grandmother's simplicity and does not unfold.
Sir Ian's every move is full of drama, a seemingly simple action, an intriguing look, all full of mysteries. Let people know that this old liar is not a simple liar in general.
When I watched "The Master of Lies", I was always looking forward to the reversal of the two sides of the contradiction. The more the film portrays Roy, the more I look forward to the final counter-killing.
In the few minutes at the end of "Master of Lies", Betty reveals the truth of all the events, and the original seemingly simple Roy old liar cheats on money and turns into a praying mantis catching cicadas and yellow finches, and who is eaten by whom is not certain.
There are not many spoilers for specific grievances, leaving it to the audience to watch for themselves. Who would have thought that behind a simple twilight love lies such a deep historical origin...
Nowadays, information has developed, and we can see all kinds of strange news in the media, and some things look like paragraphs, but they are real stories.
For example, all kinds of news about touching the porcelain old man and helping the old man emerge in an endless stream, and everyone will sigh that it is not that the old man has become bad, but that the bad guy has become old. Bad people are bad from a young age, and after repeatedly escaping legal punishment, the growth of age does not correct the three views of bad people, but encourages their arrogance to continue to do evil.
Many scammers will take advantage of the old age's benevolent and purposeful characteristics to be more unscrupulous. Can you imagine shouting "You shall not pass!" "Is Gandalf actually a vicious villain?"
Some of the bad guys are getting older, some are getting stronger. The natural way to play against Sir Ian is not a simple role, and Grandma Helen Mirren vividly tells you what it means to play a pig and eat a tiger.
It is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge for ten years, not to mention some crimes that have long passed the litigation period, have no conclusive evidence, and have not applied the law. Problems that cannot be solved by the law can only be solved by themselves, even if they need to test their own lives.
Revenge is certainly refreshing, and I hope that the audience will not be deceived by Sir Ian's acting skills, and I hope that the old man is not injured in the action scene.
The master's trick has another hidden plot,
Century of grievances.
