Say a few interpretations of the clever points in the movie:
1. The Oedipus complex: David always lived under the "tremendous light" of his father. Under the shadow of his father, the protagonist always refuses to grow up but has to grow up. In the movie, the counterpart of patriarchy/father, is the seven directors of the board of directors.
2. Elaborate design in the play: The waking up in the plot is often the beginning of the dream: the beginning + when David enters the "clear dream". It is a dream to wake up, a dream within a dream, and a dream interpretation within a dream.
3. At the end of the film: I think of a female voice calling: "Wake up, David." In fact, we can't tell whether David really woke up or entered the next dream. "Open your eyes" awakens not only the characters in the play, but also the audience.
4. The opposite female images appearing in the film: blond Julie (a hysterical woman who may bring destruction and threat); black-haired Sophia (plain, kind, innocent). These two types of images are also typical female templates in Hollywood movies.
5. David was disfigured after a car accident. In Freud's dream interpretation theory: disfigurement and broken limbs have typical symbolic meanings of castration.
6. David accepts the doctor's mask and puts it on the back of his head, which is visually called two faces: one is terrifying like a bell tower freak, and the other is terrifying like a human being, representing the extremeness of David's heart. Pain and division.
7. The image of psychiatrist McCawber is actually the father in David's imagination - a little humble, a little shabby, almost incompetent, but has and is willing to give love and affection.
8. At the end of the dream interpretation stage, the whole film adds the necessary preaching color of Hollywood movies, and it evolves into a moral drama: David is unfaithful (in Julie's car) after he gets true love, so he is killed. to cruel retribution. In the end, David chose to face the truth for the first time, gave up the dream of perfection, and chose a bittersweet life. Acrophobia was also cured. This is also David's journey of self-awakening and self-redemption.
9. Finally, a gossip: Tom Cruise, the actor of David, flirted with the actor of Sophia during the filming of the film, and then abandoned the original partner Nicole Kidman (I don't know Nicole How beautiful is the Oscar-winning actress, please search for her photos)
Well, I'll just let it go.
In this way, Tom, you can be a person.
