Synopsis

Trikuski (Roman Polanski) from Poland came to France alone to work hard. He found out that there was an apartment for rent nearby and came to inquire.

Although the price is not low, the previous tenant has also jumped off the building, but considering that the house is not easy to find, he still decided to rent it.

The landlord's request was not too many. The important point was that he must keep quiet at all times, and Trikuski agreed.

After moving into the new house, Trikuski picked a weekend to invite colleagues over to celebrate.

A group of people played late, but they still refused to leave.

Trikuski, the host, was also embarrassed to issue an expulsion order.

At this time, there was a knock on the door from outside the house, and the person who came was the resident upstairs.

He scolded Trikusky in person, and told them to quiet down immediately, not to disturb others' rest.

So Trikuski sent off his colleagues and went back to the house to rest alone.

The next day, when Mr Zi was seen, he was scolded again and threatened to take back the house.

Trikuski can only laugh and promise never to make such a mistake again.

After that, he crept every night, trying not to make a sound.

But he saw from the window that someone was watching him in the toilet opposite.

This made him very puzzled and scared, and he didn't even dare to turn on the lights at night.

The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the bad things hit wave after wave.

Returning home one day, Trikuski discovered that his home had been burglarized.

All valuables such as TV sets and cameras were lost.

But when he wanted to call the police, he was stopped by the landlord, on the grounds that he was afraid of affecting the reputation of the apartment...


Video Analysis

A work directed and acted by the famous director Roman Polanski. The rhythm of the whole film is slow, the atmosphere is depressing, and the suspenseful atmosphere is strong, giving people a feeling of extreme loneliness and even a little bipolar, but this is the director's unique style.

Roman Polanski's performance in the film is perfect, he must be a very good actor if he hadn't been a director, but the beautiful Isabelle Adjani is even more eye-catching, she caught the few that belonged to her. More chances to play.

Here are a few details about how the film made me feel. I think the film mainly tells the story of an out-of-town guy, who suffered huge pressure from the exclusion and oppression from the external environment, that is, the local people, and eventually went into a mental disorder. The film focuses on the "weird" of the male protagonist. I think this "weird" is not strange, but different.

In some places with serious xenophobic thoughts, it is often difficult for outsiders to survive, and they all suffer from different discrimination and exclusion. For example, at the beginning of the film, when the male protagonist asks whether the apartment is rented out, the woman downstairs obviously doesn't want to pay attention to him, but later when she talks about Miss Zhou jumping off the building, the woman laughs, and the expression in her expression is sarcasm, because that Miss Zhou is also a foreigner.

When the male protagonist encountered a homeless man cheating money, he did not refuse; when a local colleague was having fun at his house, he was embarrassed to chase away guests; even a strange man was troubled by love, he offered food and drink, and accompanied him , comforting the night. All this shows that the male protagonist is extremely kind, helpful, and not good at rejecting people. But at the end of the film, he hits a crying child on the side of the road. I think this is his accusation against the society, he is venting his anger, why he has been helping others, but no one is willing to help him.

It is also the problem of noisy in the room. The male protagonist tries his best not to make any noise every day, and even the lights are not turned on very much at night. It is conceivable that this kind of life is very tiring. On the other hand, his local colleagues, the music is turned on the loudest. , no one can help him. This is a great blow to the heart of the male protagonist. He is also a human being. How can the gap be so big? So this is the trigger for his insanity.

I don’t know if you have encountered such a situation in your life. A certain matter may require everyone to vote, but if our views are different from those of the majority, we can only obey the majority as much as possible, because in reality, generally not A few voices will be allowed to appear. In the film, Mrs. Tioz asked the male protagonist to sign, and jointly complained about the woman living downstairs, but the male protagonist refused. In Tioz's eyes, if everyone signed, you did not sign, you are not united, just weirdo. Therefore, many times, due to the influence of the environment, we will only be assimilated slowly, otherwise it may be difficult to survive.

From the end, the male protagonist was not forced to die, but died of his own inner fear. Everyone was not planning to kill him. Everything was his fantasy, but the real culprit was this cruel Indifferent environment . Prison-like apartment, watching your neighbors at all times, everyone only cares about their own interests, no one cares about you, maybe in the end, the person lying on the hospital bed in bandages is us, and the only thing we can do is Just let out that bleak and desperate cry.



The loneliest thing is not that you are alone, but that everyone around you is against you, and you want to resist but have nowhere to complain .

    Too much performance and too little explanation, I thought it was another cult (not very familiar with Egyptian civilization) symbol show, but the result was still a mapping and indictment of social phenomena. In the early stage, the formation of the cause was insufficient, and the split and outbreak in the later stage were a bit confusing. The subject of individual alienation caused by environmental repression is not very good. I am more interested in the discussion on split personality, whether personality is a part of the body that can be separated or even replaced. There are many scenes where the soul goes out of the body and examines itself, which needs to be further investigated. It should be the starting point of many thrillers in later generations, from the subject matter, to the oppression of the whole film, to the main line: escaping reality and protecting personality by replacing characters, and the final horror fantasy scene, it is completely the predecessor of Mulholland Road.
