In the movie "Mobile Phone", there is such a scene, when Fei Mo, played by Zhang Guoguo, saw that everyone kept answering the phone at the meeting, he said bitterly that this mobile phone hid everyone's secrets, and people couldn't say anything when they picked up the mobile phone; but in the end, he himself was planted on the mobile phone, and he was caught by his wife and cheated on (attempted), this time he did not regret that he should not lie, but complained that modern communication tools were too convenient and too easy to be spied on.
"Perfect Stranger" was released on may 25 in Chinese mainland
"Perfect Stranger" and "Mobile Phone" are a bit like, but also make a big fuss about mobile phones, exposing the fragility of intimate relationships. And even more cruel, in the movie, three families plus a homosexual, whether it is newly married Yan'er, seven years of itch, or old husband and wife, there is a problem of stealing in each family. Only the gay physical education teacher is still saying, "Love someone and you are willing to block all the bullets for him."
Therefore, he must not know how Zhang Guoguo in "Mobile Phone" ended up. He believed in his love, just as his friends were confident that their secrets would not be revealed.
Stills from Perfect Stranger
This is where the script of "Perfect Stranger" is written with both excitement and sadness, in a confined space, all relying on dialogue to promote the group play, everyone has a piece of privacy, and everyone has to be exposed. When you take out everyone's secrets alone and imagine what is not explained in those movies, it is like seeing Zhang Ailing's "life is a gorgeous robe, crawling with lice" live version, marriage, family, love, friends, mother and daughter, all drama. Behind the play, some people see through everything and are unwilling to tear it down, so they accompany the performance; some people are physically and mentally exhausted, but they don't want to change, they don't want to leave, so they have to act.
When the parties learned that the other party also hid something from themselves, their reactions were shocked, but they did not want to think that they also had reservations about the other party. So why dare to play such a game? Why didn't you think that the other party might have lied to him?
Probably most people don't dare to think deeply about it, just tinker with it.
So there must be a person in this game who dares to think, that is, the female psychologist, and the game must be proposed by her, which is also in line with her professional habits of a psychologist and understands the secrets of people's hearts. But this does not mean that she should be the one without secrets, she must be the one who buries the secrets the deepest. She also cheated on her, sitting among them and eating together, the other party was her husband's childhood friend, and he had only recently married, and the woman was now a member of their group of relatives and friends. Just reading this passage is very funny, very absurd, but she really did it! What's even more absurd is that she also put on the earrings given by the cheating partner and sat next to her husband and listened to everyone discuss her going to breast augmentation.
Ironically, she thought she was hiding deeply, but her husband was clear about it, and he was the most sincere and frank in his intimate relationship. There was no betrayal and deception of friends, family, no acting everywhere, and even, aware of the family crisis, his first reaction was to make a change, so he chose to go to the psychiatrist, see through everything but not break, rational and warm try to communicate with the family.
If all his friends could be like him, what secret could hurt their relationship?
Obviously not everyone is like this. You see, the people who hide the deepest and the most secrets invite everyone to spy on each other, and the people who know the most and candidly refuse to play such a game.
The saddest and most ironic thing about this movie is not the test of this game, but the beginning of the game, everyone has something to say if they are bored, they shout to stop, the result is that the more they play, the more exciting it is, the liars are more afraid of the truth being exposed than the people who know the truth, but they are afraid of the relationship breaking down after being exposed, but they are afraid of what they do in public and accept everyone's trial. For example, The Seven-Year Itch Carlotta and Lele, one and netizens stir up trouble, one hooked up with underage girls, originally just a little scraping the edge of the ball; Lehrer had to change mobile phones with friends, and as a result, he carried the pot for this, and was mistaken for a comrade. But he is not really a comrade, so he did not stand on the side of the person being judged, but showed his attitude - he would never treat the other party as a friend because the friend was a comrade, even if the "comrade" hat affected the relationship between husband and wife, he was willing to continue to carry the pot for his friend.
After Carlotta's secret was discovered in public, she was very scared to see that her husband had been questioning her and netizens about the game, simply telling the secret between their husband and wife in public, she drunk driving and bumping into people, Lehrer for her. When the fig leaf is lifted, they don't really want to maintain their relationship so much, they just don't bother to change the status quo, continue to endure each other, and then hide from others. So Carlotta says people should learn to break up. Either change the status quo and make things better, like orthopedic Rocco, or get out of the trap and learn to break up.
In the process of playing the game, the people in the game are actually getting deeper and deeper, and they all want to know each other's secrets more, so when Carlotta is reluctant to talk to netizens on the phone, the psychologist stepped forward and finished the play. This is the psychological dilemma of the game, before playing the game, everyone is pregnant with a ghost fetus, on the one hand, worried about the secret exposure, on the one hand, I think it is quite exciting to be discovered, but I don't think about whether I can bear it if I know the truth (this may be), after playing the game, everyone only wants to know more, no one stands up like the beginning of the game and shouts to stop, even if they have realized that the truth may be difficult to accept, they also hope to be happy, the breakup of the breakup, the rectification of the rectification.
In fact, without this game, their relationship is still in tatters, but God knows what you know, and others don't know. If you don't play games, you will make a play in front of your friends one night, call back at the dinner, send a text message, petty theft, extremely exciting; but once you get home, you will be relatively speechless in the face of people who will have to watch for a long time for the rest of your life, and you can only make up half-truths. Where life is so hard, I get used to acting, and I get into the play.
So at the end of the movie, the end of that parallel time and space is more in line with the way life is, the plastic surgeon refuses to play the game, everyone really plays a night, everyone is very satisfied.
Because, not only is people's relationship fragile, not only is it too difficult to maintain marriage and family, it is difficult for a person to change himself, or he does not have the courage to face it, or he is still relying on the warmth of the past, and people are so difficult to understand, just like you have hidden a comrade around you for many years, he does not dare to tell you. Over time, feelings will fade, people need to be beautiful, need to have space, each other can understand more, less judgment. The doctor may have done so because he had experienced all this and wanted to understand all this, but he didn't want his friends to go through it all.
Some netizens in Douban translated the movie title as "The Night the Moon Eclipse Came", reflecting two things, one is another movie similar to the end of parallel time and space called "The Night the Comet Came", and the other is to compare the metaphor of the lunar eclipse in the film. If the end of the game is more real, then the time and space of the game is just like spending a night in the circus, thanks to the protection of the moon; the moon watches the scenes of mortal sorrow and joy in the sky, and the night of the lunar eclipse can lie at the dinner party, but when the lunar eclipse is over, the lies, secrets and the darkness of human nature are like the moonlight shining in, and there is nothing to hide.
However, how can a lunar eclipse always exist and never end?
