What movie are you thinking about when you sleep?

I've been immersed in tension since watching "the ghost writer". The soundtrack adds a lot of highlights to this film, and of course the pictures and shots are also very good. This seemingly muffled and slow film is actually fast-paced. This is actually a bit contradictory, but from the psychological point of view of the characters, they are enclosed in a mansion on an isolated island, surrounded by only desolate sea and woods. Time is a nightmare for the characters. The feeling of suffocation brought by the enclosed space. However, the psychological changes of the characters change step by step with the deepening of the plot, and have to face many problems. The psychological changes are sudden and unprepared. The closer the protagonist is to the truth, the faster the psychological rhythm. This rhythm is manifested not only in the film but also in the viewer. While watching this movie, I kept holding my breath in a heightened attitude, not daring to miss a single shot. It's not that plot points are missed because I let something go, but because every picture brings me a gray and dark atmosphere that I haven't encountered in a long time. With music, it is unforgettable.

I think this is a film that will make people think about it after watching it, especially when they sleep. In fact, I'm still immersed in the wet and deserted beaches of the movie. Wet is the impression I get from the whole movie, maybe that's the UK, even though the story takes place on an isolated island. What movies do you think of while you sleep? One day I started to think about this question, maybe what you can think of or want to think of at this time is the movie that really shocked you.

This question originated from one day I finished watching "Inception". Before the movie ended I felt like my heart was beating a little faster than usual, at least after it was over, and I was really excited to watch it again, right now! Of course I didn't watch it again. When I was lying in bed, I started to create the dream scene according to the method of the dream maker in the movie. In fact, I copied every detail of the big and small roads in Qingdao and even the surrounding of my house and school. At that time, I hoped that I could leave reality and return to my hometown in a dream.

Looking further, I was watching Mulholland Drive one night in my dorm room. After watching it, I was so scared that I didn't dare to sleep, because there were always those terrifying music in the movie going around in my mind, as well as the strange woman on the stage. This movie makes people look directly into their hearts, how many horrible things are buried in places that even they don't know. So it was dug up that night. Although I didn't have a nightmare, I still had lingering fears when I woke up the next day.

Back to "the ghost writer". One of the scenes that left the deepest impression on me was when the male protagonist passed a note with the truth to Ruth through people at the end, and the soundtrack gradually rose and finally reached its peak at this time. This is the climax of the film. When the truth is unraveled, the truth itself does not matter, what matters is that the truth is discovered. However, I always feel that watching this movie is not to find an ending to the story, nor to give an explanation, but to experience the gray atmosphere brought by this movie, and to experience the tension under this atmosphere. There is a sense of destiny. This is a Polanski movie.

    The rhythm is slow, the ending is simple, the plot is bloody, and it lacks the level of Polanski. Both are conspiracy theories, please refer to the screenwriting skills of [National Key Cases].

    Three and a half stars, the foreplay is too long, but the soundtrack is just right. The Ghost Writer is really a tragedy, some things don't have to be said, big brother is wathing you!

The Ghost Writer quotes

  • The Ghost: It's my first time in a private jet.

    Amelia Bly: Let's hope it's not your last.

  • Paul Emmett: I doubt it very much. The gate will open automatically. Be sure to make a right at the bottom of the drive. If you turn left, the road will take you deeper into the woods and you may never be seen again.
