This is another movie that I can't understand

A movie to watch in the face of Jennifer Beals.

I saw some on potatoes first. Later, I watched it on iQiyi Pay. Although the card was stuck, I finally saw it all again, but the translation of the subtitles group was still a bit inexplicable. Just now, I read the download of the external subtitles.
Finally, I have a general impression of the film.

This film uses a hotel doorman to connect the stories of the four guest rooms on New Year's Eve. (The actor of Dian Xiaoer is also the actor in "lie to me". The acting is a bit too late.) In terms of

content, the old guard’s warning is used as the general outline to cover the whole film: "Don’t get close to those night shift workers, children, Prostitutes, and don’t interfere in the quarrel between the couple.” ------------Only the knot of the witch is missing.
But what did each of the four stories tell? can not read. In foreign films, the translation of lines, the props and the setting of the scene make the audience unable to understand it, and that is another difficulty in communication and a failure in communication.

The first room. Five middle-aged women form a witch group to do resurrection witchcraft for a certain "Goddess Delna". The media used are: breast milk, virgin blood, thigh sweat of five strong men, tears accumulated for a year, and semen of a lover. (And in the end, it was supplemented by the shop's Xiaoer. And the efficacious effect is the same as that of the "lover"? Hahaha~). The purpose of resurrection is to regain the joy of fish and water. This group of witches! Are you free to do it? Or, just want to do this? . . . What do you want to tell when you make up this story?

The second room. The acid and vinegar between a couple. The husband is incompetent and always suspects his wife has an affair; the wife always uses this to stimulate her husband. The two of them seemed to enjoy this game. Is it to resist boredom and add mood?
But in the end, did "Theodore" really come? What's the matter then?
do not know.
[And this second story is probably directed by the husband of JB goddess. If this is the case, then guess whether the two divorce in the second year are worried about the husband? 】

The third room. It should be relatively easy to understand. The sons and daughters of the gang leader are relatively skinny and difficult. The carrion under the mattress was processed into another movie in probability. In this film, it's just a flash of suspense.
[Does this case have anything to do with the black boss tenant? ] The

fourth room. The three men in the film industry are extremely boring and exciting to bet. The result ended with one being dodged with a finger. The shop's second child earns a tip, and the female spectator is satisfied with the excitement.
[The female spectator is the wife in the second room. So, what does it mean that her husband is going to sleep until Christmas? Drunk? How did you interact with the real "Theodore"? I don't know. All in the speculation of the audience. ]


An inexplicable movie. I can see in the clouds and mist.

    I really think the film is interesting, although the various actions of the protagonist make me very awkward. The opening credits animation is also very interesting and can be viewed as a separate complete animated short, which is very interesting! The last room, directed by Quentin, turned out to be a lot of nonsense.

    It's also interesting to see tim roth in a comedy, although it's a bit of a fucking overkill. The first one or two stories are lethargic and the plot is too ordinary. The third story is the best, and the last one has a standard Quentin ending. All in all, it's an ordinary B-movie.
