Wonderful

After watching the film that Nuan Nuan has always wanted to watch, I want to see how Charlie Kaufman can still write the story.

Almost suspected that he had made the wrong film, only knowing that he could enter John Malkovich's mind through a secret wicket, but did not know that it was related to the puppet.

At the beginning of the weird, the doll being pulled by the thread always makes people feel a little straightened, reminding of Veronica's double life that I saw before. Obviously there is no life, but it can move, obviously the body can't help it, but it can express emotions.

On the seventh and a half floor of an office building, the elevator needs to be pried open with iron bars, and everyone walks with their waists bent. It was such a room where there was a secret door leading to Markovic's brain. You can see the world through his eyes, and even you can control his thoughts, of course, everything is only 15 minutes. There are quite some absurd stories, such as the legend on the seventh and a half floors, such as Cameron Diaz, who entered Markovic’s mind and aroused the idea of ​​transgender, such as Catherine Keener enjoying the pleasure of having sex with the two at the same time. The most amazing thing is that when Markovic enters Markovic's brain, the world is full of Markovic...

The other name of the film, Puppet Life, is probably more able to reflect the theme it wants to express. But for me, I just like to watch a wonderful story.

Not much to say, I am interested in seeing it for myself.

    Some time ago, a friend who studied semiotics mentioned this movie to me, and I'm only watching it now. I originally wanted to watch this movie because the screenwriter Charlie Kaufman, friends who like "New York Synonyms" should be able to experience the similar magic of this movie, which is to play metaphors to the extreme and still maintain a strong The tension of the narrative, giving people a sense of constant excitement, which is what the drama strives for but which only a few geniuses can achieve. More importantly, from the very beginning, this film blends imagination with reality, and convincingly endows "entering the body of others" with a specific plot, which is more advanced than directly discussing self, consciousness, ideals, and feminism. What it provides is that architecture is a form of placement in space, and it is enough to form a criticism if you fill it and explain it. ps: The ending song is composed and sung by Björk is an easter egg

    In the moment, it actually tells the ultimate question of "who am I, where am I, and what am I doing", but it's a pity that the great setting starts with an indecent love triangle. Fortunately, at the end of the film It picks up the philosophical issues that should have been discussed in this topic again, but still can't deny the embarrassing narrative that goes against the grain. It turns out I have wine, but you can't really disagree with the story you won't tell.
