This film belongs to the old-school suspenseful nagging film. The theme is still very interesting. A Luther man who is about to be expelled from the rental house is looking for a mysteriously missing girl. There are various cryptographic cult conspiracy theories involved, although there are some places. It seems a bit difficult, but for true film fans, regardless of the various technical factors such as the advancement of the plot, the shooting method, the soundtrack, and the transition method, it is a good work worth savoring. In particular, the seemingly inadvertent but deliberately interspersed tributes and easter eggs, you can even see the director's intentions. Here are a few simple things that I can see. What's wrong, welcome to discuss.
1. Janet Gaynor. At the beginning of the film, the male lead Sam’s mother called and mentioned the silent film "Seventh Heaven" starring Janet Gaynor. In the film, Sam woke up from the graveyard and received a call from his mother. He looked up and saw Janet Gaynor’s tombstone. At the end of the film, the male lead went home and went home. Seeing this film and hearing the heroine in the film say "never look down, always look up", Sam was also inspired and tears filled his eyes.
2. Hitchcock. There are many places to pay tribute to Hitchcock in the film. Obviously there are tombstones in front of the open-air cinema, as well as the posters "Mental Patient" and "Rear Window" in the male lead's room.
3. In the picture above, in addition to the two Hitchcock films, the one on the far left is "The Two Stupid Investigations" starring Boris Karloff. Horror fans should be familiar with Boris Karloff, because he participated in the classic horror. The science fiction film Frankenstein, the bride of Frankenstein and the son of Frankenstein are famous. The second poster on the right is a poster for the horror film "Werewolf" starring Bela Lugosi.
4. Marilyn Monroe. Sarah and Sam lay on the bed. The movie "Will Marry a Golden Turtle Son-in-law" was shown on the TV. This poster was also posted in Sarah's room. The three major heroines Monroe, Betty and Lauren Bacall also follow the scenes in the movie. It was made into a doll and placed next to the TV. In addition, Sarah's later play in the swimming pool in Sam's imagination also paid tribute to Monroe's "On the verge of collapse".
5. There are also two classic posters, "Twenty Thousand Miles under the Sea" and "The Shape of Water", a tribute to "Black Lake Demon", these two films also correspond to the title of the film "Silver Lake". end".
6. In addition to the above two in the screenshots, there is a classic horror film "Vampire", and another movie "Battlefield Dream" adapted from Hemingway's novel "Farewell Weapon". The poster behind happened to appear in Sam's anger and smashed. The head of the bad composer came back home with a gun.
7. At the beginning of the movie, the poster of Orson Welles' famous "Miss Shanghai" was pasted in the corner of the camera when the male protagonist and his gun friend had sex.
8. There is also a classic original video in the film. A man shouts at the screen "Look, you fools! You're in danger! Can't you see? They're after you! They're after all of us! Our wives, our children, everyone! They're here already! YOU'RE NEXT! " This film is from the classic sci-fi horror film "The Magic Flower".
9. When Sam was having sex with the heroine, there was a poster on the wall that was not obvious. It was a sci-fi horror film from 1962 called "Undead Brain".
10. In addition, at the beginning of the film, when Sam and his artillery friends had sex afterwards, they talked about the magazine they read during the first flight. The camera was given to the cover of the magazine with a line of small print on it. It also mentioned a cult erotic film. It's called "The Valley of the Baby". The female gun friend said that the first time she was in the replay of "Charles in charge", the latter should be a family youth drama.
11. In addition, there is also a very interesting role setting in the film called Owl Kiss. It also gives specific comics and real-life images, similar to the settings of vampire Frankenstein and Werewolf, which also shows that the director has an old science fiction horror theme. interest of. The film also mentions famous filmmakers such as James Dean, Johnny Depp and Grace Kelly, who died young.
12. The other is the Griffith Observatory, which is in the same frame as Stone Sister’s Lala Blue String Field, haha.
13. The last interesting thing is that when Sam and Sarah were chatting on the bed, Sam noticed that Sarah had an animal tattoo on her leg, and then asked her if it was permanent. Sarah replied that it was a disposable candy sticker. After looking at that animal several times, it must be a cheap Garfield! ! Ha ha! !
