      Nolan is Cobb, followed by you and me

      I watched a movie a few years ago, but when I watched it again, I didn't remember most of the content, and I couldn't help but doubt my memory again. . .


      The film is based on the self-report of a young man. "I" was in my early twenties, and I was idle all day because I didn't have a job. I dreamed of becoming a writer. In order to collect materials and satisfy my inner curiosity, I watched the people passing by on the street...

      "Following" was filmed for over a year because all of the cast and crew were only working on the film part-time, they had other full-time jobs, and during filming from start to finish, they only had 15 minutes on Saturdays to take the shot. Director Christopher Nolan was once a thief broke into his home, so he often wondered what the intruder thought and acted when he saw his own things in the house? This idea slowly developed into the idea of ​​making the film. The film is Christopher...

      A Brief Review of "Following"

      Watching Nolan's films always feels like he's been cheated all the time. He deliberately intersperses the ending in each segment, showing the level of cheating in a arrogant way like a magician. I was very shocked after watching it, I couldn’t help but read it twice, and then I found that there were still echoes between the beginning and the end (both protagonists said: Everyone has a box and the non-dialogue clip of the title How Cobb framed Bill to make him a scapegoat ) This narrative...

      What interesting settings does "Follow" have?

      The following contains fatal spoilers, don't watch it if you haven't seen it.

      I watched a lot of people discussing a lot of bugs or loopholes in the film, and I gave corresponding analysis to many people, and it turned out that they had more and more problems. In fact, this film has a certain surreal nature, because people like Cobb may not exist, and Cobb's behavior cannot be replicated in reality. So from the movie, it is enough to be able to echo the front and back,...

      Nolan's debut novel showed a strong ability to deal with the story. When the truth came out, he immediately used a line and the last shot to take me away from the story and focus on the characters, just like Nolan's " Like "Inception", while telling a complete story, Batman uses movie language to maximize the audience's recognition of the character. I think this technique is very...

      Melancholy temperament + disordered narrative + smooth and coherent plot + unpolished "high IQ" movie, this is the appearance of the genius director Nolan, compared to the later "Inception" and "Deadly Magic" "Following" The plot is even smoother, and even many classic movies later imitated it, such as "Sunny Day" and "Empty House". A director's debut should be like this, let talent be like the river after the dyke...
