Compared with "Pulp Fiction" with a standard ring structure, "Lola Run" with a three-stage structure, and "Two Big Smoking Guns" with multiple lines progressing at the same time, the story structure of this black and white film is a bit out of touch from beginning to end. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info

Then, the stalker's protagonist confesses everything to his fellow thieves and confesses that he had sex with the blonde woman, at which point the enraged thief beats the protagonist and walks away. This is the reason why his nose is blue and his face is swollen!

The thief and the blonde woman are in her home, and they point at each other that there is no need to "beat people up or get on Chuang". Next, the thief finally reveals his full plan to find someone who looks similar to the thief. As for the reason, it was actually because the thieves broke into a murder scene during a burglary and found a female corpse.

In order to divert the attention of the police and get rid of the crime, such a scapegoat was found.

The film progresses to the end, where the stalker, who returns home and unloads all the gangster money, opens the photos he finds in the safe after making a phone call with the blonde woman. But I found out that it was not a "can't say photo" at all, but just an ordinary art photo.

The angry protagonist goes to the blonde woman's house to confront her, and she confides in the thieves' plot in this way, from breaking into the scene of the murderer, to being questioned by the police, to finding a scapegoat for herself. And the solution that the protagonist of stalkerism finally came up with was actually to take the initiative to surrender!

When he arrived at the police station, it turned out that his monologue at the beginning was telling his story to the police.

But the police said that, first of all, there was no murder of an old woman at all!

What!!!

For the first time, the audience in the screening room was shocked!

The scene cuts to the thief and the blonde woman, who talk about the aftermath of the incident, but the thief suddenly puts on a rubber glove and wipes off his fingerprints on the cup.

The police looked at the stalker's protagonist with suspicion: "You actually have something real to say, right?"

The stalker's protagonist has a confused expression, and the audience vaguely guesses something, and is very nervous.

The thief chatted with the blonde woman as he picked up a hammer and walked towards her.

"The old man of your family (the gang leader) is tired of your endless blackmail, and I have heard that you have witnessed something happen in this house. The thief grabbed the blonde woman, and between the two they got entangled, the blonde woman fell screaming.

"We found her this morning. The policeman said with a gloomy look in his eyes.

"What did you mean you found her?" asks the stalker.

"Her body. We also found a hammer with two blood stains on it. One is the night watchman at the bar, and thanks to you he got into the hospital. As for the woman, all her fingers were smashed. ”

"You must have tortured her to get the [bar safe] code. The policeman's words make the stalker's protagonist sweat coldly.

"We also found these pieces of women's underwear in your house, is this hers? Along with her underwear, there is also a photo of the deceased's ID. We also found this pearl earring, which is exactly the same as the one worn by the deceased. The physical evidence presented by the police shocked the audience.

"This must be Cobb (the thief) who secretly put it at my house while I was leaving, this is a sham! Hurry up and arrest him, I have already given you his address!"

"We checked the address you gave us, and there is no such thing as Cobb [the thief]. That place belongs to a company called ...... , D. Lauer's people. He had just returned from a sightseeing trip when he called the police to report that his home had been visited by thieves. He didn't lose anything, but he said he had applied for a credit card before going out, but he still hasn't received it. ”

"That's Cobb (the burglar), and we ate at the restaurant to pay our bills. ”

"We found this in your home. The police took out the credit card signed by the stalker's protagonist.

Finally the policeman asked, "Is this your hammer?"

"Yes......"

The scene then cuts to the thief walking down the street and disappearing into the crowd. The screen turns black and the cast floats up.

"Huh~~~, this ending of "Following" is so powerful. Lindsey patted her little chest and said.

Sid smiled and nodded, the level of the first and middle sections of "Following" can actually only be considered average, but this completely reversed ending does show the director's excellent potential.

This is also why this director himself can catch up and surpass several directors who are now in the limelight and play with the structure. Compared with this "Following", whether it is Quentin Tarantino's "Pulp Fiction", or Guy Ritchie's "Two Big Smoking Guns", and the German director's "Lola Run".

The status of these movies in film history is undoubtedly far greater than that of "Following", but these directors are not as explosive as "Following" in terms of finale. This also led to the lack of follow-up of these directors. And this unknown British director came from behind and completed the counter-killing.

"Alright, it's time for us to meet the director. Sid clapped his hands and laughed.

――――――――――――――――――――

A tall young man fidgeted and kept looking at the entrance, when a middle-aged woman with long dark hair next to him couldn't help but say, "Can you not dangle like this, Jonathan, you're upsetting me." ”

"However, this is our first film, and there are Hollywood studios who want to talk about it so soon, and it's that Hollywood prodigy!" said Jonathan, a young man named Jonathan, excitedly.

At this time, the middle-aged man with blue eyes who had not spoken next to him smiled slightly and said, "Sit down, Jonathan." ”

Hearing his brother's words, Jonathan had to barely hold back the anticipation in his heart, and at this moment, the woman with long dark hair said, "They've arrived." ”

The middle-aged man with squinting eyes looked up, and sure enough, a group of people walked into the main entrance of the coffee shop. In front of them were several bodyguards, and when they turned the corner, they saw the black-haired Sid walking in the middle, and there was a little red-haired girl beside him.

The three people who were waiting stood up one after another, and Sid nodded to the bodyguards, and they immediately walked to all corners of the coffee shop, no longer disturbing a few people. Sid smiled and stretched out his hand to the middle-aged man with squinting eyes and said, "Hello, Mr. Nolan." ”

"Hello, Mr. Leon, please call me Chris. Christopher Nolan smiled and nodded.

"This is my wife Emma and this is my brother Jonathan. After Nolan's introduction, Sid and the other two shook hands.

After that, several people sat down, Sid was going to talk to Nolan about business, but before a few people could speak, the burning eyes of his younger brother Jonathan next to him made Sid and the others a little unbearable.

"Excuse me, what's the matter?" Sid asked, smiling and dripping into a cold sweat.

"Well, Mr. Leon?" asked Jonathan cautiously.

"Just call me Sid. Sid said with a smile.

"Sid, could you please sign for me?" Jonathan, who climbed up the pole, immediately took out a few novels from behind, which were Sid's bestsellers such as "The Da Vinci Code" and "Lost".

Nolan's wife, Emma, covered her forehead speechlessly, "Jonathan, can you not be so embarrassed." ”

"But it's a rare opportunity...... Jonathan said aggrievedly after being frightened by his sister-in-law Emma.

"No problem. Sid agreed with a smile.

"Eh, is that okay?" asked Jonathan, surprised.

"Of course, do you have a pen?" asked Sid.

Sid then signed several of Jonathan's novels, "For my friend, Jonathan Nolan, is that okay?" Sid asked with a smile after signing.

"Wow, friend, friend. Sid said I was his friend. Jonathan was older, but he was dancing like a 12-year-old girl.

"Okay, you sit down for me, don't disturb your brother talking about business. The eldest sister-in-law is like a mother, and under Emma's order, Jonathan had no choice but to hold the novel and sit aggrievedly in the seat next to him.

"OK, looks like we can have a good talk, Chris (Nolan). Then Sid looked at the future director from England.

"And what do you think of 'Following'?" asked Chris (Nolan) bluntly.

"So direct? Hehe, I like it. Sid smiled slightly: "In terms of ornamentation, "Following" can only be regarded as a medium level. ”

"Oh. Chris (Nolan) heard Sid's evaluation, but he was unmoved and responded lightly.

Sid also said in a hurry: "The three-stage interspersed narrative of time, although it is influenced by Pulp Fiction in previous years, has made its own interpretation and progress, which is actually quite interesting. ”

"But in terms of time, it is a bit complicated and excessive, which will make it a little difficult for the current audience to understand. Sid advised: "But the final reversal ending sublimates the whole film, which makes the meaning of "Following" go beyond the film itself. ”

"Is it difficult for the audience to understand now?" Nolan was keenly aware of Sid's subtext.

"Hehe, yes, the times will change, and the audience's viewing habits will also improve, which is difficult to understand now, and it does not mean that it will not work in the future. Just like a few years ago, no one would have thought that a movie like "Pulp Fiction" would be enthusiastically followed. Sid said with a smile.

"Excuse me, the meaning of 'Following' goes beyond the film itself?" and Emma Nolan, the producer's wife, heard another layer of overtones.

"It's the director's own potential. Sid smiled and affirmed Emma Nolan's speculation, "I didn't give up until the last moment, and the shaping of the film, this kind of foundation and spirit, in my opinion, is the key difference between ordinary directors and outstanding directors." ”

Emma Nolan and Jonathan Nolan immediately laughed when they heard Sid's praise, but Chris (Nolan) took the opportunity to ask a question about the film: "So you mean, how can you modify the structure of the film to make it more acceptable to the audience, but still keep the fun it should be?"
