Truman was captured, and he still failed to escape from Taoyuan Island in the end. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

He was sent back to his home, depressed in a chair, desperate, while his wife thanked the police for sending him back.

The overall tone of the camera has changed from the cold and cruel during the chase just now to warm and harmonious, which makes people feel soothed, and the rhythm of the picture is also relaxed.

So, this is the end? After all the efforts and the end of the day, it turns out that everything is in vain?

This reminds Ye Lin not only of "Flying Madhouse", how similar the two are, both of them find that everything they do is in vain after hard work, and most of them are the same black subjects.

"Is this really a noir drama?"

Pan Xiaoyu said this, obviously he, like Ye Lin, also remembered the movie "One Flew Over the Asylum" that Du An's once made, and the two are very similar in terms of dramatic structure.

"You really got it?"

At the beginning of the film, when the two were chatting, Ye Lin once casually guessed that "this is a black drama film", and both of them thought it was a joke at the time, after all, Zhou Xingchi was the starring role, but from the current point of view, it is really a black drama.

Ye Lin shook her head unconsciously, her eyes staring at the big screen, "I don't know ......"

It may be that the huge creativity of this movie has had too much impact on her, or it may be that the expectations for Duane are too high, she always feels that this movie should not be so simple.

No matter what the audience at the bottom thinks, the movie screenings continue.

Facing the very depressed Truman, his wife Lin Lin took out a can of black tea, smiled professionally in front of the camera and said, "How about pouring a cup of tea for you?"

Song Zhen behaved well here, smiling very reluctantly, it can be seen that she was still very afraid of Truman's crazy actions before, and now she is smiling hard.

"Qiyun Qimen black tea, all the tea leaves used are picked from the tea trees in Qimen County, and refined by twelve processes......"

"What are you doing?"

Truman was very surprised by his wife's behavior, looking left and right, and his voice was raised, "Who are you talking to?!"

His emotions began to rise.

Thinking of Truman's previous series of crazy actions in the process of escaping Taoyuan Island, Lin Lin, played by Song Zhen, was even more panicked, but he still kept in mind his professional ethics, and tried to maintain a stiff and ugly smile in the advertisement: "Among all kinds of Qimen black tea, Qi Yun is the best." ”

Under the emotional contrast between the two, the rhythm of the originally warm and soothing picture began to change, and gradually began to become tense.

In the case of this contrast conflict, the gradual tension of the insertion of a product placement should have been a very abrupt and disappointing thing for the audience, just like the sudden insertion of advertisements at the most tense decisive moment of the TV series, the audience who is a little more anxious may start to scold the mother, but it is different in this movie.

Because of the background setting of the story, this product placement, which should be extremely blunt, is not only not abrupt and blunt here, but blends in with the story just right, perfectly integrated into the plot, and further strengthens the authenticity and sense of substitution of the movie.

And it also drives the storyline forward.

"What does this have to do with us?"

Truman stood up and walked towards Lin Lin. Because of fear, Lin Lin subconsciously stepped back, and Truman took a step back for her.

A conflict finally broke out between the two, and Truman, after a series of previous events, was now on the verge of a collapse. Under impulse, he almost hurt Lin Lin, and Lin Lin was also frightened by Truman's unusually violent mood, and in the end, it was Truman's friends who arrived to stop the possible tragedy.

"Perfect for product placement teaching. ”

After the tense picture calmed down again, Ye Lin praised.

There are a lot of advertisements from the beginning of the film to the present, which is simply pervasive, and the implantation method is also strange, but so far, this advertisement for Keemun black tea can be regarded as the most successful one.

The other commercials are basically all embellishments and accentuation of the background, and this one not only serves these roles, but also advances the development of the story, and is completely integrated with the film, and most especially, in such a way that usually seems extremely blunt!

Duane: This is simply playing product placement into art.

"Qi Yun?"

Many viewers at the scene silently chanted this name, and became interested in this brand of Qi Hong, and some people who like to drink tea even began to think about whether to go to the tea shop tomorrow to buy a can to drink.

After the conflict between the husband and wife ended, the camera shifted to the dock where Truman and his friends often talked.

During the conversation, the friend said a lot to Truman, and finally asked Truman to get up and look back.

I saw a figure in the distance slowly approaching.

It turned out that the friend had found Truman's father who had come back from the dead, and the father and son, who had finally met again after decades, hugged each other excitedly.

Through countless camera close-ups that are not there, it can be seen that the joy of reuniting with his father after a long absence makes Truman cry with emotion.

Next, the camera jumps out of Taoyuan Island and comes to the "real world".

This scene of father-son affection is transmitted to every corner of the "world" through ubiquitous surveillance, and the camera jumps to Chinese audiences, British audiences, Japanese audiences, American audiences, African audiences...... All the viewers who watched the Truman show in front of the TV were happy for Truman, and were infected by this scene of father-son love, and the eyes of many viewers in the "real world" couldn't help but moisten, and the staff of the production center of the Truman show also celebrated this scene.

"220 countries watched him learn to walk, the world watched his first kiss, he grew up side by side with technology, a person's life, recorded by a secret photography network......"

After the reunion of father and son, it is Truman's first girlfriend who appears on the camera, she is watching TV, and the TV is combing Truman's life, which is also the only time that the film has made a positive and detailed explanation of the story background of "Truman's World" from the beginning to the present.

"Authentic, 24 hours a day, live broadcast around the world......"

With the narration, the screen picture is constantly changing, from Truman's childhood, to his toddler, to his youth, youth, adulthood, etc., and finally to the "real world".

"Taoyuan Island is an unprecedentedly large set, and the only things that can be seen from space overlooking the earth are Taoyuan Island and the Great Wall!"

In the picture, Taoyuan Island is finally exhibited for the first time.

The computer special effects of the Taoyuan Island studio are lifelike and the sheer size is staggering - where is this still a set? This is a huge 3D man-made city!

"Now, 'Truman's World' has entered its glorious thirtieth year!"

The title of "Truman's World" appeared on the big screen, with a blue earth in the background and the rest of the world being black.

This is the rhythm to get into the end credits and out of the credits.

Through the interview form, part of the worldview is thrown out, and into the story, the protagonist gradually awakens and resists, and after a series of struggles and conflicts, the protagonist still fails after all. Then the father who came back from the dead appeared, the protagonist cried with joy, threw himself into the arms of family affection, had a happy reunion, and then made a summary ending, which completely clarified the world view, echoing from beginning to end, and ending the play.

From the point of view of the dramatic structure, the structure of the film is complete by this point, and it is also complete in terms of theme: this is the story of a constant struggle for freedom, and finally helplessly discovering how powerless freedom is.

This is a drama with a dark theme, and in this film, you see how weak and powerless freedom is, it loses to power, to its own fears, to friendship, to family...... It's so light, it's so meaningless.

"It's as dark as One Flew Over the Asylum. ”

Pan Xiaoyu made an evaluation.

In "One Flew Over the Asylum", the protagonist also goes through all kinds of struggles, but in the end, the audience finds that all his efforts are futile and meaningless, and the meaning is the same as that shown in "Truman's World" now.

"But one is the darkness of madness, and the other is the darkness of mildness. ”

He even came to the conclusion that "Duane is a pessimist?" then I hope he should make more commercial films, although his literary films are also very good, but they are too negative. ”

Ye Lin didn't say a word.

Although the structure was complete and it was indeed time for the end, she always felt that something was wrong.

She faintly smelled a familiar smell.

The title credits at the end of the film faded, the screen went dark, and then, the next moment what popped up was not the credits, but a strange actor sitting in the studio talking to the camera.

"In the past week, there have been many climaxes and good performances......"

Sure enough, this is another fake ending routine that Duane is used to!
