When Jennifer's colorful segment made the big names of "Variety" fascinated, Jon and other ordinary viewers didn't realize how much technical content was contained in Jennifer's scene, although they were also very excited by this continuous personality change performance, but they were more attracted by the plot - or rather, by the movie's fast viewing. Attracted by the feeling, they have been completely immersed in the world of the film, and began to speculate on the relationship between Sally's several personalities with Roger: they have already seen that Sally should not know about the existence of several other personalities, but what about the other personalities, do they know the existence of Sally? Which personality killed someone, or was Sally herself stimulated to split into a new personality after the killing?

"The concept of multiple personalities is so interesting. M. Mobile," Jon whispered to Harry beside her, "This film is very clear...... I love the perspective. ”

Harry also lowered his voice, "Indeed, there are not many multi-personality crime films with such high quality from a female perspective-"

Before he finished speaking, he was 'Ssh' by the people next to him, and the two young men squeezed each other's hands and stopped talking: it is normal to chat softly in the movie theater, as long as the voice is not loud, no one will usually come to interfere, but Jon and Harry are not disgusted by this 'Ssh': the film is so informative that you must pay full attention to it, there is silence in the movie theater, and many viewers even breathe lightly.

It seems that the audience reputation of this small production will not be too bad...... Jon was relieved to be distracted for a few tenths of a second: for the public, the films that win the Oscars every year are 'obscure, high-end, foreign, and need to spend a lot of effort to understand', especially the films that win the Oscars for Best Actor and Actress every year, and the people she will watch directly default to must be senior fans with great connotations, because she doesn't think how amazing the other party's performance is anyway, and how good that film is. Therefore, although she worked hard to get the movie tickets for the screening, based on the mentality of fans, she was sure that she would give a good review after watching it, but Jon had no expectations for the good-looking degree of "The Fifth Sally", the length of nearly three hours, the background of the era, the synopsis of the story, the tone of the shooting, and Christopher's styling all made her have a very low valuation of the entertainment and storytelling of the film, and she thought that she would see an art film full of long shots, slow rhythm and inexplicable difficult dialogue. And most likely, you won't understand anything from beginning to end. - In her heart, the films that can be liked by the Oscars and want to win the Olympics are basically of this type......

Therefore, although "The Fifth Sally" received a lot of praise at the Venice Film Festival, and even rave reviews after the internal preview a few days ago, and was unanimously praised by the first critic of "Variety", "Chicago Sun", "Hollywood Reporter" and other authoritative newspapers, Christopher and Jennifer have the momentum of being nominated for an Oscar or even winning an award, but Jon still has no expectations for the film, and even she is sure that in this full screening room, More than half of the audience also came to support because of the popularity of the male and female leads. - But, not long after the film started, she had completely changed her opinion......

It's not that this film can mobilize people's adrenaline and make the audience let out a "wow" exclamation, just like looking at those exquisite special effects, and in addition to shocking, I feel that just looking at these special effects pictures is worth the ticket price - the narrative rhythm of "The Fifth Sally" is not very fast, but it ...... Jon doesn't know how to describe it, it's real, it's very engaging. Christopher's acting is very restrained and concise, but it is very direct to convey the message to the bottom of her heart, there is no psychological monologue, but Jon can understand his psychological state: crumbling, dangerous, restless, hungry...... There is some forgiveness between him and Dai Rui, but it is extremely attractive, this film has made subtraction in the expression, a lot of information is expressed through the actors' bodies and pictures, but this information is delivered very efficiently, Jon can fully understand it as a not particularly intelligent viewer, she also finds the story very interesting, people unconsciously invest in it, that kind of horror atmosphere is created little by little, and when the two face off in the library, a □ is reached.

It is said that blood and performance are exciting, and of course Jon can't explain why, but it is true that when she sees the triangular relationship between Roger, Dari and Bele, and when she sees Berey flirting and seducing Roger, her heart begins to beat faster, and Jennifer's performance is like a propeller, pushing the atmosphere of the whole film to a small high. tide, it was at this moment that she began to fully devote herself to this film, and began to feel energetic, and felt that the story, director, and actor were ...... She thinks it's a good movie, and now, she's kind of looking forward to the end of the film, and hoping that the film won't end so soon.

Of course, deep down, the part that belongs to the girl is also screaming all the time: Jon hasn't told Harry yet, she is afraid of being ridiculed by Harry, but in fact, from the first meeting between Roger and Darei, she has felt the chemistry between the two, that strange attraction. She didn't know how to describe it, but ...... She felt that although Christopher had become a fat man and was still a middle-aged man with no charm, the strange chemistry between him and Jennifer seemed to touch the string directly in her heart, making her also breathe fast and her heart beat faster. - Jennifer has played against so many handsome guys, but Jon actually thinks that she has the most feeling for Christopher......

"Sally. Porter? ”

“Y…… Yes。 ”

The scene cuts to the interrogation room, and Jon quickly concentrates and doesn't think about the thought that makes her a little ashamed: Jennifer and Josh are engaged, they're happy, she and Chris are just friends, what are you thinking?

After talking to Roger at the mall, Sally, who passed out, was taken back to the clinic, but soon after, she was taken to Roger's treatment room for questioning, where Roger's detective friend James sat on the side, looking at her curiously and suspiciously, while Detective Kingston, who was in charge of the case, glanced at her relaxedly. "Do you know why we came to the door?"

"I ...... I'm in trouble. Sally whispered, "Am I in trouble?" ”

Unlike the previous few radiant personalities, Sally in a hospital gown looked pale and haggard, she was hunched and desperate, she rocked her chair nervously, glanced at Kingston from time to time, and lowered her eyes—a sign that made Jon quickly understand her reaction: she was afraid of Kingston, or that Kingston had scared her out of her mind, and it seemed that she was afraid of Kingston hitting her......

Although mentally disturbed characters are also common in film and television, if the actor's acting skills are insufficient, the character's madness will not arouse empathy or understanding for the audience, and they need to mobilize their brain replenishment ability, understand the director's intention, and make up for him a suitable mental path. But for this film, the audience doesn't need to do such work at all, Sally's emotions have an obvious vein, and many of her actions make the audience think of some of their own reactions, such as the performance of shaking the chair at the moment, which makes many parents and viewers think of what their children look like when they are weak - but Sally is more depressed and desperate.

"Where were you on the afternoon of April 23rd?" Kingston asked, a winning smile on his lips.

"I ...... I don't know - am I in trouble? Sally's chair shook even more, and she stammered, "I-I think I should be in the café-"

"You're not in your stepfather, Fred. Potter's house? Kingston asked, "You had an argument, didn't you?" And then you killed him? ”

There was pure horror on Sally's face, and she kept shaking her head, "I-I don't know- I don't know what you're talking about-"

Kingston gave her a suspicious look, and he suddenly leaned closer to Sally, "Areyouhigh?" ”

Sally screamed and waved her hands, she leaned back so hard that she lost her balance and fell to the ground, and the scene fell into chaos, Roger stood in the hallway, watching Sally who was constantly writhing and struggling being taken away by the police, his expression was strange, and his lips were pursed, as if he was suppressing something.

"Roger wants to save Sally...... No, I think he was trying to save Daree, he had a crush on the girl," Jon thought, "how pitiful, he seems to have fallen completely in love with Daree...... But can he exonerate Sally? The evidence seems to be very unfavorable to her, after all, it was the last century, and people at that time knew what multiple personality was? ”

- Like all new generations, in Jon's mind, the world before '98 was completely in obscurity, and civilization seemed to have exploded in the '90s to its current size.

After Sally was taken away, Roger ushered in another personal scene, this scene is very trivial, Roger is cleaning up the treatment room requisitioned by the police, as well as the hospital bed and medical equipment used by Sally, he flips through Sally's medical records, there is only a thin page written on it, it is Sally's medication record...... But Jon watched with relish, and was not acting or impatient, because she saw his struggles and self-struggles in Roger's movements: Roger wanted to save Sally, but he was cowardly and mediocre, and he oscillated back and forth between heroism, the girl he loved, and inertia and inertia.

Although she is not the usual audience of literary films, Jon likes this scene very much, it does not seem pretentious and sensational, it does not express the protagonist's deep inner struggle through some cheap emotional props like a vulgar commercial film (usually in that kind of film, the protagonist's acting skills are not enough to support such an inner drama), just a natural film of Roger's life, he got off work after doing these things, had dinner in a small apartment, and watched sex. The romance tried to masturbate, but failed-didn't get hard, a sad moment for a middle-aged man...... Perhaps symbolic of Roger's efforts and shameful failures to whitewash the peace, as well as the fact that he was gradually being worn out of his sexual characteristics by society, then washed up and climbed into bed......

Although the director used some cuts to save time, the one-man show was also more than five minutes long, but Jon didn't find it verbose, and on the contrary, she suddenly began to appreciate it...... No, or rather a little bit of an admirer of Christopher, Roger's mentality was handled by him so much, the calm tension became tighter and tighter, until finally Roger tossed and turned on the bed and couldn't sleep, turned on the light at 4 o'clock in the middle of the night to watch the alarm clock, and then went to the bathroom to nervously wash his hands, this silent tension seemed to reach □.

"Chris really did a great job!" She thought very curiously, "Strange, why didn't I feel that way before?" ”

With this foreshadowing, when Roche showed up at the police station the next morning, Jon didn't feel strange or abrupt at all. She watched almost with bated breath as Roger and James and Kingston exchanged words, pointing out the bizarreness of the case.

"She has the right to a lawyer...... She didn't do it just because she was completely frightened. James, you're meeting a psychopath...... I suspect she suffers from multiple personalities. ”

"Detective Kingston, I'm the best psychiatrist in town."

"The only psychiatrist."

"Either way, until you find another person to overturn me, you have to trust my judgment, Sally. Potter did not commit a crime...... No, I'm not saying that there was a second person who sinned, I mean, if we want to find out the truth at that time, then we have to find out the personality of that person who committed the crime and have a dialogue with her......"

After Roger's weary, almost embarrassed insistence, he obtained permission, and Sally was brought to him, who looked completely frightened, pale, emaciated, and almost huddled.

"Hello, Sally." Roger said kindly, "Did you sleep well last night?" ”

Sally sat up a little straighter, she looked at Kingston in fear, shook her head, and said hoarsely, "I don't know." ”

Kingston leaned over Roger and said, "She made a big fuss in the cell, beating Anna's prickly head to the point of vomiting blood, and we had to keep her in separate places." ”

"Then you may have missed the key to solving the case." Roger replied in the same whisper, and he turned to Sally again and said kindly. "Sally, I'm here to help you."

Roger was confident in front of Sally, with a somewhat condescending sense of charity, but Sally seemed to trust him, and the strange attraction between them made Jon a little unable to sit still, she didn't know why, but the tension was like a feather, teasing her senses. - She had the feeling that Sally admired Roger.

"I'm in trouble, am I?" Sally cried, "Oh, Dr. Ash, I must be in trouble. ”

Roger took some time to reassure Sally, and with his support, Sally told her story in fits and starts, "In order to get rid of my stepfather, I married Larry after high school, but we divorced last year, he said that he often left home for long periods of time, and said that I disappeared for two weeks at one time - people are always talking about me, and after the divorce, he didn't let me go, for living expenses, I worked as a cleaner in a nightclub for a while, but he slandered me for striptease, and I lost even the right to visit the children......"

Detective Kingston had been holding a dismissive attitude, but Roger listened attentively, "Have you ever heard of dissociative personality disorder?" Sally? ”

It took him a little time to convince Sally and Kingston, and persuaded Sally that she didn't waste much effort, because Sally's trust and admiration for Roger had become more and more obvious, and Detective Kingston was skeptical of Roger's statement, but after Roger took out the sodium thiopental, he accepted Roger's statement with some disbelief: it was a potion that was very popular at the time, known as the elixir of truth, and Detective Kingston had heard of this potion.

The "Now, count ...... from a hundred" scene cuts to Roger's clinic, where Detective Kingston is standing not far away, Roger winks at him, and Detective retreats out of Sally's sight, but still stares at Sally's arm.

After the injection, Sally quickly fell into a relaxed state, and in the presence of Detective Kingston, Roger said softly, "Continue to stay awake and concentrate back on childhood." When I count to five, you'll go back to any moment before you fainted or lost your memory, and then you open your eyes and see the past as if it were playing out on TV, vividly, and tell me the stories you saw......"

As he narrates, Sally returns to her childhood, first with a fast-forward shot of Sally with her biological father, some broken memories, then her father disappearing, her mother remarrying, and then the camera returns to normal, with the younger stepfather and her mother talking, while Sally, who was only 4 or 5 years old at the time, playing with toys.

"Vivian, take the kid away."

"I'm tired today, Fred, my head hurts a little ......"

It was a tiny room, and under the frightened expression of her chubby stepfather, Sally's mother locked her in the closet, and little Sally soon heard the squeaking of the mattress coming from outside. Curious, she opened a crack in the top of the closet door—

"Once," the camera returns to the present, where Sally is half-lying on the bed in the treatment room, Kingston and Roger are both standing to the side, her gaze is out of focus, and her pupils are particularly dark and large, "I saw her kneeling on the bed, like a puppy, and she looked very fragile and in pain. ”

A wave of pure sorrow and fear welled up over Sally's face, and she suddenly began to cry, "When, when Fred came down, I saw him insert the -of-the-"

She began to shake her body violently, roaring and crying like a beast, and Jon was completely stunned, and she didn't even bother to pay attention to Jennifer's acting skills - the scene in the movie is now like a car accident scene, which is simply shocking, but there is an ugly, surreal attraction that makes it impossible to take your eyes off.

When Sally's crying slowly stopped, even Kingston looked a little uncomfortable, but Sally's expression slowly changed, and here the director did not cut the camera once, just like just now, Jon once again witnessed Sally's personality switch in its entirety, Sally's cowardice, sadness and depression slowly faded, and a smile appeared on the same face, Sally licked her lips...... No, it's Bele, it's definitely Bele, that demeanor can only be Bele!

So, the difference between Sally and Belle is that Sally is afraid of sex. Desire, and what is Bere...... Manifestations of sexual repression? Regulate and release sex for her. Desire? Jon also began to appreciate the cause of Sally's personality, "What about Nala?" And Dari and Ginny......"

"Hi, Dr. Ash." After Bai Lei appeared, she first adjusted her posture and hairstyle, and in an instant, she became amorous and charming, and the difference between several expressions and movements made her show a woman's style without changing her makeup, but she didn't just pay attention to Roger, but looked at Detective Kingston affectionately, "And you're-"

Kingston gave Roger a surprised look, Roger made a gesture to control his emotions, he seemed to have mixed emotions, Jon felt that what he wanted to see was Daree, so he was a little disappointed now, but proud because he had proved himself, "Beley, can you tell me how old you are?" ”

"Eighteen years old, D-oct-or," Belle said to him, licking his lips and chest, spelling the word in a flurry of words, "I thought you knew that. ”

The next conversation is very Belle, mixed with her picks on the two men. Tease and Kingston's suspicious questioning, Roger's efforts to control the overall situation, and after this wonderful confrontation scene, Roger roughly figured out the situation of several personalities such as Bele and Sally: Dai Rui is the only personality who has a dialogue with Belle, Nala, and Ginny, and is also the only personality who keeps clear at all times, and some of the other personalities don't know that there are other personalities, such as Belle, she only knows Sally and Dai Rui, and she doesn't know anything about the other personalities. But Belle knew that 'Dari was always there, and she knew Sally, and she knew all of us. ’

Belle had never spoken directly to Sally, had only read some of her letters, and to her the body was like a washroom, where people had to line up to use it, and she cared about nothing but the precious opportunity to have fun.

"You two boys are the only couple who only care about how I live and have no interest in my body." Belle winked at Kingston and Roger, "Now, would you be interested in having a double flight—"

Kingston's face flushed, and Roger intervened in time, "Do you know where you were on April 23rd?" ”

"The last time I found an opportunity to have fun, I was with you, doctor." Belle said flirtatiously, "The first time you ruined my good deeds, the second time-"

She pursed her lips, "The second time you were the same—I bet you must be a hypocrite, I guess, you like it...... Well...... Piggyback-in? ”

When she said the first sentence, Kingston glared at Roger suspiciously, and the director gave a thin shot, although Roger seemed to be silent, but the small movements showed his somewhat weak emotions, and after Bele finished speaking, Kingston coughed and cleared his suspicions, and Roger released his fist with relief.

Although it was only a few shots, Jon fully understood the director's intentions: it seems that Kingston did not let go of his suspicions about Sally, and perhaps he still felt that Sally was a disguise, and Roger was her accomplice, and there was meat between the two. body relations. And Roger is also well aware of Kingston's suspicions, and even in the face of his suspicions, Roger is weak-hearted. After all, Kingston's suspicions weren't all wrong, and Roger had a crush on Dai Rui.

Roger is now putting himself in a very dangerous situation, and if he is not careful, he may be ruined...... Jon began to feel anxious about Roger and worried about Sally's future: although it was not likable (she really had a hard time liking Sally, even if it was Jenny), Sally was indeed a poor victim, and it was clear that she was a sick person and she needed to be cured, but Ginny was so dangerous and uncontrollable that she could really complete the conversation with Roger and prove that Sally was a multiple personality patient, so that she could go to treatment instead of being wrongfully sent to prison and ruin the rest of her life?

She shifted positions in her seat, held her breath, and continued with an urgent suspense, while a vague thought flashed through Jon's mind: Although I haven't seen many small-budget productions - literature? Thriller? Anyway, I haven't seen many movies of this genre, but "The Fifth Sally" is really good, and I think it's definitely the best ...... of the year No, it's definitely the best film ever made in the multiple personality genre.

"J.J. should win an Oscar, right?" Jon thought vaguely, the corners of her mouth curling briefly, "I hope she'll get ......"

But soon, this idea was dispelled by her again, and her attention was completely drawn to the plot......

At the same time as Jon, there were more than 200 people in the same screening hall as her - although generally speaking, this kind of screening of Olympic films will choose a small hall, but because the tickets are really sought-after, most movie theaters chose the largest hall to be screened, and on the first day of screening, it achieved an excellent result of 150,000 in a single hall, 6 cinemas on the same day, and a box office of 800,000......

Although the total box office is only 800,000, the single hall of 200,000, full seats, and the magical word-of-mouth praise rate after the screening have also made "The Fifth Sally" really gain the attention of the film industry and begin to fire its first shot in the awards season.

The author has something to say: Note: I forgot to say it in the previous chapter, "Variety" is the best movie publication in Hollywood-
