ARE YOU WATCHING CLOSELY?

Hal 2022-04-23 07:01:03

I have to say that each of Christopher Nolan's works needs to be read several times. When I first brushed it, I just looked for the secret, just looking for the secret, but not really looking. So after reading it, I am still puzzled, and I still don't understand anything, so I have two brushes and three brushes... n brushes, so that many grass snakes and gray lines gradually come to the fore.
About Borden and Fallon
1. Chung Sulin's Magic
Wolverine and Batman After watching Chung Sulin's magic, he just waited until his old man limped out of the backstage and got into the car, Batman said "This is trick...Total devotion on it ". It is thought that Batman had already begun to plan the "magic life" in which the two would fit together in the future. Of course, this foreshadowing also tells us that if we want to get ahead, we need super hard work that ordinary people can’t understand and can’t bear. God’s father taught us “If you want to take away something, you have to leave something behind” (I am not in Amway Chicken Soup, I am The truth is, sometimes even if I leave a lot, I often return empty-handed)
2. The little boy's questioning
The unfamous Batman can only attract a small number of poor people to come and talk in the rented cheap and shabby little theater To eat, but also to accumulate fans for future fame. The conventional "big change to a living bird" magic was ruthlessly questioned by the little boy. The little boy first saw the little bird disappeared and cried "He killed it", and then continued to question after Batman turned into a live bird. But where is his brother?". This can be regarded as a hint that we have a pair of twins. Instead of taking turns to exchange one's enthusiasm and praise from the audience in front of the stage (Wolverine is like this), the other silently thinks about the plan behind the scenes. You see, the child is often the one closest to the truth because of his innocence, or the child is always the truth, not just in the emperor's new clothes.
3. Batman's Pickup Success
After being politely turned away by Sarah at the front door for tea, Batman returned to the house a few seconds after Sarah unlocked the door. Turning around, Batman roguely asked her "Milk and sugar". Dear friends, you must believe in science, don't think magicians are omnipotent, Wolverine didn't say "The secret impresses no one. The trick you use it for is everything", magic is all technical work at the root, what is the secret? It's all bubbles, it's all bubbles! Didn't Uncle Kane also teach Wolverine, "You are a magician, not a wizard", thinking that magicians can teleport by reciting "Apparition" silently like Hogwarts students. The only explanation for that is that there are—two—ones—people. In addition, the tips for picking up girls: as long as the girl paper is not completely rejected, it means that the heart is a little turbulent. You can follow your own thoughts. At this time, you can be tough. You know what the wall is
. Julia's death
The main line of the whole movie is actually very simple, that is, Wolverine thinks that his wife was killed by Batman (I don't care if you are unintentional or sincere, anyway, my wife was killed by you, murder to pay for her life, to pay her debts money, as a matter of course). At Julia's funeral, Wolverine repeatedly asked what kind of knot was Batman tying. Batman just repeated "I keep asking myself that. I just don't know" helplessly and desperately. When asked what the other knot was, the other just yelled "I don't know" helplessly. Of course, this plot is not entirely a foreshadowing of twins, because inadvertently got into a life-threatening matter, normal people are in a state of confusion, not remembering what they did at the time or consciously forgetting their actions at that time. It's a more normal situation (I said it's a normal person, let me tell you about the bold, careful, calm and calm murderer Jack the Ripper)!
5. Grain in half
Batman excitedly introduced Fallon to Sarah and told Sarah that he hired Fallon, but when Sarah said he couldn't afford to raise another person, we dropped Batman resolutely and said "Don't worry about it. I'll share half my food with him or something". Oh hey, the Red Army's revolutionary comrades-in-arms feelings when they crossed the grasslands may not have been so profound! Attention, share food is not enough, there are other things, I think the main ingredient of this something is Sarah. I really have to admire this kind of abandoning everything for the cause, even as an independent person!
5. Batman became a father
When Sarah told Batman with a little anticipation and a little worry, they wanted a little Batman, cross out, little Batgirl, Batman's first reaction was to tell Fallon, or really It's unbelievable, knowing that the relationship between brothers is stronger than Jin Jian, but it's not to this extent. Therefore, it can be inferred that the little Batgirl's father was playing the role of Fallon at that time. Immediately after, Batman said "I love you" to make Sarah happier. A careful wife can find that her husband is different. She clearly realizes that this "I love you" is not the kind of sincere I love you she wants, but at the beginning, Sarah just regarded this as the husband still at that time. He was only addicted to magic, and it also laid the foundation for Sarah to realize that she gradually collapsed and finally committed suicide.
6. The wound bleeds again
Batman performed a new trick developed in the niche theater, "Unarmed Catch", Wolverine completed his first revenge action very well, abolishing two of Batman's fingers, and he can also think of it with his toes. When Batman came home, Sarah must have been shocked, and all kinds of bandages prevented him from performing again. However, it seems that the condition of the wound has basically stabilized. When Sarah was dressing Batman, she found that the wound began to bleed again. It is estimated that if Sarah was Watson, she would find that the old wound magically turned into a new one. Batman fiercely rejected Sarah's proposal to ask the doctor to see it. On the one hand, he really looked down on it. On the other hand, he also felt that it was nothing, and it was abnormal that the finger he just cut off with a hammer and a file didn't bleed.
7. Wolverine studied Batman's diary
Wolverine carefully studied after obtaining the key to Batman's diary. Batman in the diary also revealed his entanglement over the tragic death of Wolverine's beloved wife. In addition, for the great magic cause, the two visited Tesla's AC exhibition. Wolverine also followed Batman after the exhibition. After walking a few steps, they saw the scene of Batman and Sara hugging their daughter. It is envy, jealousy and hate "I saw hapiness", and it is even more hatred for the endless suffering that Batman brought him. However, he did not find that Batman showed the slightest enjoyment of this family-friendly life in the diary, but it was endless torture. The desire for family in the previous moment was always followed by the yearning for freedom in the next moment. Wolverine concluded that Batman was schizophrenic. Yes, once again the truth is so simple and rude, but you insist on this idea, and you will be trapped in the end!
8. Batman teleportation
The Wolverines get to see Batman's newest trick, the teleport catch. After reading it, Wolverine was full of fire, because although he kept slamming Batman as a terrible magician, he was eager to know how he did it, so he also sent Scarlett Johansson as a spy later. Stealing Batman's notes, kidnapping Fallon in exchange for the note key blablabla... The important thing is that Uncle Kane has repeatedly said "He uses a double", even if he is shot in the arm, he insists on the truth "He uses a double" (is it a bit misleading? , his being shot has nothing to do with upholding the truth). In the end, Wolverine understood before he died, and that was the truth. Hey, it seems that streakers are often so rushing towards us, but we think it's too simple and deny it, what a painful realization!
9. The assistant also found out that
Scarlett Johansson and Batman have staged a love scene between a domineering president and a scheming assistant since she was sent to be Wolverine's undercover agent. Gradually, the assistant also discovered that Fallon could be seen near every date, and Batman strongly told her "You trust me? Then trust Fallon. He protects things that I care about." Then Batman took the initiative to the glamorous assistant. The reaction of throwing a hug is rather cold or even disgusting. It's safe to say that Batman at the moment is the one who loves Sarah, and Fallon is the one who loves his assistant. It's really tiring to think about, I can't pass the day to catch up!
10. Husband and wife quarrel
Before Sarah committed suicide, she shouted all the despair in her heart to Batman. At this time, she must have known the truth, at least guessed it, and knew that her husband was not always the same person. Later, Batman was also angry, and all the grievances that were hidden in his heart broke out. "You think I can live like this?" , but I was a little confused when I saw that Sarah said to tell the assistant the secret. Then, Fallon gently took away the helpless little loli who was hiding in the study and listening to her parents quarreling. At this time, Fallon should be the real father of the little loli! In addition, in Batman's confession to Fallon before the hanging, he expressed his apology to Sarah. It is estimated that the reason for the apology is not only some things in daily life, but also this quarrel, and Sarah's complete collapse after the quarrel, and chose to hang himself. , full of tragedy!
11. After the ruthless and cold-blooded Batman
Sarah committed suicide, Batman and his assistant went on a date in a restaurant. It was estimated that Batman wanted to enjoy the solitude with his assistant. Batman expressed his love for his assistant at this golden opportunity.” The part that found you, the part that sitting here right now. I love you”. But the good-natured assistant is appalled, and should say a little scared, that Batman can still flirt with him indifferently after his wife's death. The assistant's inner monologue is as follows: "This is really ruthless, unreasonable and unreasonable, extremely perverted, and super split personality!"
Regarding Tesla's AC machine
, I would like to pay tribute to this genius who was not fully respected and did not get the fame and fortune he deserved when he was alive. ! Your career has pioneered uncharted territory, your genius is now recognized by the world, and another genius in the world named his masterpiece after you!
Going back to the movie, I personally understand that the original function of the machine should be a teleport machine. Wolverine believes that it is Tesla's invention that allows Batman to complete the magic of teleporting and catching the ball. I designed this machine myself. However, it wasn't until Wolverine found countless black hats and two Gollum's black cats in the ruins behind the laboratory that he realized that the experiment could not be regarded as a complete failure. Of course, the countless black hats at the beginning of the movie can also be regarded as another foreshadowing prepared by Nolan for us.
Extending from the machine to a question, is Wolverine, who survived to the last alias Lord Caldlow, still the original wolf? Answer: No.
Assumption A: The real product was teleported by the machine, that is, the machine was a replica, then when Wolverine used the machine for the first time, his real body was killed. The first time he mustered the courage to step into this thing, Wolverine had the foresight (and cheap hands) to put a gun on the machine switch. After the copying or teleportation was completed, there were indeed two Wolverines. The Wolverine on the opposite side wanted to defend himself, but he was shot by the Wolverine in the machine before he finished speaking. It is estimated that the Wolverine on the opposite side wants to say "I'm not the fake". Note that the Wolverine in the machine is actually a bit confused (praise for Hugh Jackman's acting skills). In this way, the real body was killed at the beginning, so every time the magic was a replica, it fell into the water tank and drowned, and the real body teleported to the upper floor of the theater to enjoy the fruits of victory. The reason for drowning in a water tank is because Uncle Kane said at the funeral of Wolverine's beloved wife that the dying sailor said it felt like he was back home.
This assumption absolves Wolverine of the guilt that the evil double killed the 100 replicas, not him. This assumption is more inclined to me, because it reveals the self-interested behavior of people very well, and it is never myself who has to sacrifice that.
Assumption B: The machine teleported is a replica, and the original remains in the machine, so although the original Wolverine was not killed in the first experiment, he killed the replica. But for the next 100 performances, everyone who drowned in a tank of water would be the real one, and the machine sent the replica upstairs to thunderous applause.
On this basis, Wolverine also died during his first performance in the theater, not much longer than the previous assumption.
However, not very inclined to this assumption, how can you be willing to sacrifice yourself every time you perform for the sake of self-preservation?

Extended Reading
  • Greyson 2022-03-22 09:01:05

    Nolan’s best movie is better than Inception. The magic themes are photographed like this, which is the culmination. The last shot that flashed past made people glimpse into the abyss. Why will you never know my secret? Because you have never sought the truth, you like to be deceived.

    The biggest disadvantage of this film is that it is easy to be broken, and the viewing experience after being broken is really bad.
