After watching "Double-Faced Lover", I was very excited. After 7 years, I finally saw a movie that imitated or paid tribute to "Black Swan". In addition to the straightforwardness and romance of French films, there is also a feature that everyone likes very much, the scale is large enough.
There are too many similar plots and scenes to discuss the story of split personality, but compared to "Black", "Double" gives a concrete representation - the parasitic fetus, which has become the main reason for the split of the heroine, while "Black" is perfect. Doctrine is at fault. 1.Plot The mother has a great influence on the heroine. The heroine of "Black" hopes to fulfill her mother's unfulfilled dream. Taking sex as the entry point, she gradually releases herself from masturbation training. The story of personality splitting in the process of pursuing role perfection. The heroine of "Double" hopes to be recognized by her mother (it is mentioned many times in the film that she has no sense of existence), finds herself through extreme sex, and then realizes the story of self-redemption. 2.Character The heroine has always had an imaginary character, and hallucinations appear frequently. The vision of "Black" is projected on multiple people, competitors, former swan actors, and themselves in various psychedelic states. The illusion of "Double" is concentrated on the lover. Whether the male protagonist is a twin or not (perhaps not real), it is a portrayal of the female protagonist's psychological state, including the male protagonist's ex-girlfriend and the female protagonist's parasitic fetus. - Sandra. 3. Horror plots and thriller scenes with similar screen scenes. All have the female lead sleeping, mother or mother-like neighbors waiting by the side; (the decoration styles are similar) All have unconsciously repeated scratches, the soil in the flower pots around them, the hair in the sofa or their own backs; all have Something you want to remove, constantly biting nails or a subconscious aversion to the stomach. There are foreign objects breaking free from their bodies, evil black swans (full black wings) or parasitic fetuses. All of them saw terrifying objects in the kitchen with a similar set pattern, and all of them visited the scene of the injured in a car accident and hallucinated as themselves, and fantasized about being chased and killed on the way home. Everyone will see themselves in the process of sex, and "Double" is improved here, and it also accurately replicates a pair. 4. Shooting method Mirror shooting and back shooting "Black" has many mirrors stacked on top of each other, and "Double" also has a reference, but when the lens is mirrored, it can basically be regarded as a fantasy, and it is promoted through the "broken mirror" action. The transformation of the heroine and the climax of the booster film, the three broken mirrors of "Double" are even more climaxes. Back chasing, by imitating the shaking of the handheld camera, creates the confusion and fear of the heroine when she is looking for the answer. So, just like I like "Black Swan" (watched it more than 50 times), I like "Double-Faced Lover" very much. It can be said that it is the French version of "Black Swan". The heroine's road to madness can be said to be very France.
Finally, I have to say that when the heroine's hair is cut, she is half Natalie Portman!
