[Those music, literature, science, and mathematics stalks

in the film ] are translated from a booklet sold in Japanese theaters, aiming to pay homage to Jia Daobige.
Although they are all trivial and interesting stalks, it is recommended to read after watching the movie.
Regarding whether the names of people/places/works are translated into Chinese, subjectively judged that the Chinese will have a high recognition, English is retained...I don't know if it is appropriate, please correct me.
Caishuxueqian, slightly Tucao, if any omissions / errors please correct me, thank you very much (bow)

Born in the same year as Shakespeare (1564-1616), his talents were displayed earlier than the latter, which is believed to have given Shakespeare a certain influence. (But no Shakespeare is famous, no wonder he has to throw darts.)
In the film, Eve hinted that the Marlowe played by John Hurt was actually he who survived without being heard .

Interlude a gossip
in the history of literature: In Tangier's coffee shop, Eve and Marlowe talked about the hypothesis that "Will Shakespeare's true identity actually be Christopher Marlowe" caused an uproar in the world. The reason for saying this is that the two works are very similar, and Shakespeare appeared at the time of Marlowe's death.
In the film, on the flight to Detroit, Eve reads the 116th song in Shakespeare's "Sonnet", is intoxicated, and says Marlowe's name. In addition, when Marlowe was dying, he recited a verse from Shakespeare's Hamlet.

In order: Faust (the protagonist of Goethe's novel "Faust", the alchemist who sold his soul to the devil), Dr. Strange Love (you also watch Kubrick), and Calgary (the film directed by Robert Wiene) The name of the protagonist in "Das Kabinett des Doktor Caligari").

【George Gordon Byron (1788-1824)】
British romantic poet. Representative works include "Childe Harold's Pilgrimage", "Manfred", "Don Juan (Don Juan)" and so on. At the same time, it also has a deep relationship with vampire literature. Although Eve thought he was also one of the people who influenced Adam to become a romantic, Adam recalled that Byron was a "death to death".

    Whether it is a man or a ghost, loneliness is destiny. Fortunately, there is music and love, and fortunately there is death.

    When it comes to musicians, writers are only in the usual tune of Wen Qing's novels, and the entire dialogue is not painful or itchy. The color tone is also of a commercial blockbuster type. Only the picture of the queen can be pulled in the direction of literature and art, and Dousen is crazy to play, especially the feeling of cosplay. Two stars for Tilda and part of the picture.... Negative for the script.
