Dare to say that no one can guess the real answer before the answer is revealed. This is a film worthy of careful consideration. In other words, this is another film that needs to be slowly appreciated and chewed, and the results cannot be seen in advance as the plot develops. so. Spoilers enter carefully.
The Chinese subtitles have not been released, so I can only use English subtitles to eat them again. Maybe some small details are misunderstood, but it does not affect the overall situation. After all, this kind of melodrama focuses on the development and reflection of psychological activities, and is the fun of thinking confrontation. Rather than researching exactly what is the time and background of the event.
——————————————————————————————
First explain in the sequence of plot development, so that some students who have doubts can understand what the film is like Development, how did the answer to the only question come out.
Eight people with different ethnic and cultural backgrounds who stood out from countless applicants were selected to participate in the final round of interviews for a super-large mysterious drug giant company. The interviews were conducted in a room similar to a secret room, with eight seats, each person There is a test question or a piece of paper in front of you.
First, a person tells the requirements of the interview (very important, it is the clue of the whole film):
"There's no law in this room but our law,
and the only rules here are our rules.
there's one question before you,
and one answer is required.
If you try to communicate with myself, or the guard,
you'll be disqualified.
If you spoil your paper, intentionally or accidentally,
you'll be disqualified.
If you choose to leave this room for any reason,
you'll be disqualified.
Any questions?" The
paraphrase is as follows:
"There is no law in this room, some Just our rules.
There is a question in front of you, and you need to give an answer.
If you try to communicate with me (talking to the camera in the film) or with the security guard,
you will be disqualified.
If you intentionally or unintentionally
draw your exam paper, you will be disqualified.
If you choose to leave this room for any reason,
you will be disqualified.
is there any problem? "
After that, the 80-minute interview officially began. Everyone found that the so-called test paper was just a blank sheet.
It was embarrassing. The first person to be eliminated was the only Asian, Cantonese, which was probably designed in accordance with the image of Hong Kong compatriots. Adhering to the fine tradition of the Chinese nation of hard work, study, hard work, and earnestness, she planned to write a solemn self-recommendation letter on white paper. After writing the first line, she was expelled, which was about 77 minutes at this time. Later, she applied for the job. From this, the author concluded that the so-called picture test paper in the request does not necessarily have to be painted, but it must not have any traces of writing.
After that, one of the protagonists of the film, tentatively called WHITE, played the role of promoter and organizer throughout the interview. If it is really a group face, he will probably really stand out. He said that the key is not what HR said, but what he didn’t say, that is, all actions that are not prohibited are allowed As a result, the remaining seven people can stand and walk around and talk and even destroy everything in the room. Of course, they can also kill each other.
Then, the protagonists made the first speculation that the words on the paper may not be visible to the naked eye but visible, so they tried many methods, including normal lights, emergency lights, etc. After the second speculation, whether it was a display such as a pencil drawing a shadow, it was overturned again. The third conjecture, the water was revealed, overturned. The fourth speculation, paper photographic development, assumes that the developer is sprayed from the fire-proof nozzle, and the emergency light is a dark room environment. The most attractive speculation, but unfortunately, it failed.
At this time, Brunette was entrapped by White, burned his test paper, and was disqualified. At this time, it was forty minutes and six people remained. After that, White induced Deaf to tear off his test paper and was disqualified. At this time, it was about thirty-four minutes. Deaf is probably an Asperger's autistic who is similar to the male protagonist in the romance film "Adam." A more serious genius communication disorder than Sheldon in "The Big Bang Theory". Black admired cooperation and couldn't bear White's behavior. He fainted and tied up. At 29 minutes, White became ill. From the film, it can be seen that this was an incurable disease that was very popular at the time.
Brown, who had been a soldier, guessed that everything was a game, and there were internal spies put in by HR among the remaining people, so he tortured Dark, who was academic, to no avail. White's condition worsened. To save White, Dark communicated with the camera and was expelled from the room and disqualified. Blonde finally found the medicine and saved White.
After that, White finally said his understanding of the question and answer (consistent with my initial thoughts). The question is eight of them, and the answer is that only one person can stay. According to White’s idea, they must use all means until There is only one person left. This idea thundered all the applicants on the scene, but they immediately fell into a battle for security with guns, and White finally won. Under the pressure of the gun, Brown took the initiative to withdraw. Blond played a trick when launching. As a result, Black was shot. Both thought that Black was killed. At this time, the timer expired, and there were two people in the house. The people behind the scenes were kicked out of the conversation. It turned out that at thirty-five minutes, Deaf had tampered with the timer to broadcast the time faster. As a result, only Blond was left.
In the end, Blond's inspiration flashed (I have to say that the arrangement of the result is too coincidental), using Deaf's left glasses and the glass fragments of the lampshade to make a magnifying glass, find the following words "question 1" on the test paper, and then recall the beginning of the test There is only one question to ask, and that is the last sentence of the test requirement quoted earlier, "Any questions?" So the only answer for this interview is "No." (Of course, maybe Yes is right) and in the end We finally discovered that Deaf is the boss behind the whole company, and the selected person is Deaf's assistant.
In the end, Black was not dead. The bullet contained the latest magic capsule developed by the drug company, rapid cell regeneration, which gives people super anti-virus and self-healing ability, giving Black a new life. And Blond also accepted this job, it is conceivable that the future of mankind will be completely changed by this medicine.
————————— Exhausted dividing line——————————
I have seen many movies about the development in the secret room and the wisdom of the crowd. Those who have seen this film may easily think of the "Chain Saw" series, and from this, they also think of "Reaper is coming" and so on, but I have to say, "Electricity The wisdom of the screenwriter in "Saw Terror" is much higher than ours, just like the plot in "Detective Conan", even if we give us more clues, we can only wait for the director to debunk the mystery, and "Saw Terror" "Is a commercial film that is bloody, and this film is more similar to a general feature film. You can release some results, but the ending surprises you. If you will think of the "Painful Fang" series after watching, it will be closer, but this film is still less bloody, more fun of reasoning and psychological changes. Some people may still think of "Battle Royale", but I want to complain. "Battle Royale" can only be regarded as a new theme. In terms of the setting and rhythm of the plot, it cannot get rid of the naive and unrealistic problem. Compared with the German "Death Experiment", it is much better, and students are seriously recommended to watch it. The naked humanity experiment focuses on reality. In addition, such reasoning films include "Nine Deaths", "Memory of Death", "Fatal ID" and even "This Man Comes From Earth", etc., but they have great fun at a small cost. Some people use "Phone Booth" for comparison, and they have to admit that the director of "Phone Booth" is unmatched in mastering the rhythm, and the ending is also ingenious. However, the development of reasoning in a closed environment is less fun than this film. After all, the development of the two-person dialogue is not as easy as the eight-person dialogue.
Speaking of reality, maybe the director wants to reflect the difficulty of finding a job under the economic crisis, and the harm to humans caused by the epidemic of infectious diseases. But if you only look at the inside of the characters, White is a typical real villain, while Brown is a hypocrite. But can the others survive this test of humanity? No one stopped Deaf when Deaf was deceived. No one stood up when Dark was tortured. When White was dying, Brown still watched. In the end, everyone had the courage to press the trigger for a job or Speaking of an unclear goal, everyone is selfish enough to sacrifice the lives of others and sacrifice everything that does not belong to them. How to choose between cooperation and selfishness? Only when there is no personal interest involved, can there be good cooperation? Perhaps cooperation is to have a spirit of sacrifice, and in this era of personal heroism, what we lack is this spirit of sacrifice . But there is no saint in the world of interest.
Someone may study bugs, such as whether the last foot is counted out in the door. But I think such a surreal movie that focuses on reflecting the inner confrontation, it is normal to have bugs, and there is really no need to go into it. What the director wants to express, we accept and understand and think about it, so why bother with something that is too formal.
The last sentence: I have always felt that the script is the foundation of all dramas, and there is not such a high level of appreciation to study such as the use of long shots, such as the use of light and shadow effects, such as the level of editing, but in terms of the plot, if you are also a little abnormal, If you like to study psychology, this film is a rare masterpiece.
—————————— Supplemented on June 10th———————————— I
came back to watch some other film reviews. The theory about clinical trials and brainwashing was very new. I watched it in English at the time With a big head, he didn't think too much after reading it. Now I can take it out and discuss it, which can be regarded as a continuation of the pleasure of reasoning in the film. If more people participate, it will be very interesting.
The evidence for people holding the clinical trial point of view is mainly the removal of blood stains at the beginning of the film, the band-aids on the heels, the bruises on the face of DEAF Frankenstein, and several other scratches on the body of the tortured woman. Well, if we assume that this is really a clinical trial, and the trial is really repeated, there are only two possibilities. First, except for a very small number of people, most of the remaining people have always been trustees, developed from the plot. Look, I think this possibility is extremely small. Is Black or Deaf a trust? It’s not easy to be able to act like this, and since it’s an experiment, it’s really not worth it to experiment with just one or two people. The result should be the second one. Everyone was drugged and lost their memory after the experiment. It would naturally come to the conclusion that everything was performed by this company. The claim that DEAF is the boss is also untenable. , That is, these eight people are just chess pieces, they are all in a virtual plot, but in the end, Blond really guessed the answer to the question, if it is an experiment, why really design this question? . In addition, considering that they are quite calm when they start to clean up the blood stains, should the band-aids prevent high-heeled shoes from rubbing their feet? (This girl may have more say), and the whole process of the interview was also normal. I think only the bruise on the leg is the most difficult to explain, but it may also be due to domestic abuse and other reasons as mentioned in the film. Including what the interviewer said at the beginning, "I'm sorry that you were not treated well, but a certain amount of pressure is necessary for the interview" and the director did not explain how they were treated.
In summary, my personal conclusion is that the director may deliberately leave a small open possibility, but if it is a clinical trial or amnesia, the evidence is not enough, so I still prefer normal results. Everyone is welcome to join the discussion.
