Chapter 83: Premiere (2) [Ask for Collection]
"Rachel is still here, you can't leave; You have to get out of here, you have to wake up! ”
Leonardo suddenly woke up from a nightmare, the water leaking from the roof happened to drip onto his hands, and the wind was raging outside, and a storm was coming. Since the ferry is no longer able to leave the island, Leonardo is ready to continue his investigation.
After getting out of bed, Leonardo approached Dr. John Cowley and offered to interrogate the patients she was treating with Rachel.
"Did Rachel get any other treatments?"
Following Dr. John Cowley, Leonardo spoke a little quick.
"Do you understand the field of psychotherapy today? War! The conventional wisdom is that surgery, psychiatric surgery, surgery such as removal of the anterior lobe of the brain is needed, and some people think that the patient has become more rational, and some people think that the patient has become more zombie. ”
John Cowley said this with a slight smile on his face, paused, and continued: "And modern pharmacology, a new type of drug called torase has been approved to relax the mentally ill, or tame. ”
"So which view do you have?"
Leonardo was intrigued by these two theories and asked curiously.
"Me? I have a radical view that you can understand patients as long as you respect them, listen to them, and try your best to understand. ”
Dr. John Cowley's words sound very honest, but the audience always feels that this doctor has hidden secrets and conspiracy, as if he is hiding something.
John Cowley then arranged for Leonardo to interrogate two patients, the first of whom Peter had injured his father's nurse with a piece of glass, although the nurse was not dead, but was disfigured, and when Leonardo asked Rachel, Peter scolded the woman for being a pervert and cursed that she should be gassed.
Hearing Peter's cursing, Leonardo picked up a pencil, scratched it in his notebook, and said as he did so: "That nurse may have children, a husband, just want to earn money to support her family, just want to live a normal life"
The sound of the pencil drawing became louder and louder, Peter covered his ears in pain, and the muscles of his face continued to twist, but Leonardo did not stop his actions at all, and the pencil had already scratched the notebook in his hand.
"Can you stop paddling!"
Peter couldn't help but roar, and at that moment, Leonardo grabbed Peter by the collar and asked viciously, "Do you know a patient named Andrew Ladis?" ”
“no,no!”
Peter's reply was panicked and a little frightened, and he left the place with the help of the medics.
The second patient was Mrs. Carnes, who hacked her husband to death with an axe because he was fooling around with other women and abusing her at the same time, Leonardo and Kahns talked about Dr. Sean, who seemed to be sensitive to the name, and motioned for Chuck to pour him a glass of water, and then at the moment Chuck turned around, he took Leonardo's pen and wrote it in his notebook, and quickly stuffed it to Leonardo after he finished writing.
"I have one more question, Mrs. Carnes, have you ever seen a patient named Andrew Ladis?"
Hearing this, Mrs. Carnes's face changed for many minutes, and at last she gave a negative answer with her composure.
"Who's Andrew Lattice?"
Film critic Michelle Clarkson was puzzled, and his years of experience in watching movies had made him find several things wrong here, such as Mrs. Kearns not having a cup in her hand when she drank water, and the direction of the tip of the fountain pen changed, Mrs. Kearns was obviously written on the left page, but Leonardo looked at the right page when he took the notebook, and the water level in the glass went from full to empty, and then strangely full, and the number of cigarette butts also changed.
"So many obvious goofs?"
Michelle doesn't think so, it seems more like a deliberate arrangement by the director, but what does he want to express? Michelle feels like he's walking into a labyrinth right now, but he loves the feeling of decryption.
After coming out of the hospital, Chuck asked Leonardo who exactly was Ladis, and Leonardo hesitated for a long time before giving an answer: "He is a repairman in my apartment, and he is also an arsonist, who set fire to my house and burned my wife to death." He burned down two more schools and was put in prison before being transferred here. And Leonardo was sure that Ladis must have been in Area C, where he had never been, and where it was forbidden to go on Shrot Island.
"Oh! Damn, how did another story come out? ”
Hathaway feels that her brain cells are completely insufficient, and the plot is no longer complex to describe, it seems that every story is relatively readable, but it is interlocking, and the behavior of each character is very weird, but it is impossible to say where it is.
The plot gradually came to **, Area C is a grave, in a dark wood, it looks very desolate, at this time the storm is getting bigger and bigger, forcing Leonardo and Chuck, who came here to investigate, to quickly hide in the cabin next to the cemetery, a small dark and closed room.
In this cabin, Leonardo and Chuck talk about his time at Dachau during World War II, which in his opinion is no longer a war but a massacre, and Leonardo says he is tired of the massacre and hates the experience.
"I'm not here to kill people for revenge, after Ladyce disappeared, I started researching the Ashe Mental Hospital, a lot of people know about this place, but no one wants to talk about it, as if they were afraid of something. This place is sponsored by a special fund, which comes from the Committee on Anti-American Activities. ”
"On the small island of Boston Harbor, how to fight with the CPSU?"
Chuck looked at Leonardo with a sad look on his face and asked such a question.
"By conducting psychological experiments, I estimated so."
After a pause, Leonardo continued to explain: "I later found a patient who was here before, a man named George Noyce, a very good college student, a socialist, he got funds for psychological research, but he found out that there was a conspiracy in the research, so he almost beat his professor to death, so he was imprisoned in Ash Mental Hospital Area C, and the people on the island carried out human brainwashing experiments on him, and a year later, when George was released and returned to the mainland again, he turned into a murderous demon and killed three people, in France** George would rather have the judge sentence him to death than return to the Ashe Psychiatric Hospital, where he is currently serving his sentence in Dydham Prison. Mentally ill patients are the most suitable test subjects, and no one believes them even if they say it. I've been to Dachau and I've seen what people can do to people! ”
"Conspiracy! Sure enough, it's a conspiracy! ”
Seeing this, many people in the audience suddenly realized, it seems that the mystery of this story has been revealed, and the next thing is to see how to find out this conspiracy.
Of course, this is only the opinion of most viewers, but Michelle Clarkson does not think so, if this is a conspiracy, then how to explain the previous anomalies, this story is definitely not so simple.
"I don't think it's right, if it's a conspiracy, isn't it a little early to be exposed now?"
In the media press area, a black-haired Asian couldn't help but mutter, hearing this, many professional film critics also nodded in approval, the layout of the beginning was too ingenious, they didn't believe that the result would be so simple.
The development of the story confirms the critic's idea, Leonardo and Chuck get the news of Rachel's return after returning to the mental hospital, in the process of questioning Rachel, Leonardo suddenly feels a splitting headache, with symptoms of photosensitivity, migraine, and vomiting, after taking the medicine handed by John Cowley, Chuck takes Leonardo to the temporary rest point of the storm staff, lying on the bed, Leonardo gradually falls into a dream.
In his dream, Leonardo felt as if he had returned to the Dachau concentration camp, looking at the women and children who had frozen to death on the road, and the corpses were stacked together in the snowy night.
“oh! What is it? ”
Hathaway couldn't help but retch as she looked at the mountains of dried corpses and skeletons, and her brother sitting next to her was already trembling with fear.
A bell rang in the darkness, and Leonardo saw two dried corpses lying on the side of the road suddenly become alive, one was Rachel, and there was a little girl in her arms. Although the little girl is very cute, driven by the atmosphere of the movie, her pale face looks very terrifying.
Leonardo approached the two people lying there, the little girl suddenly opened her eyes, and the ethereal bell suddenly increased its rhythm.
"Hell! Scared the hell out of me! ”
Seeing the little girl suddenly open her eyes, there was a wheezing sound in the theater, under the rendering of this kind of music and pictures, that moment really scared many people, even if he had watched the movie many times, Xiansen couldn't help but pat his chest, and he himself was scared.
"The atmosphere, the rhythm, the mood is fantastic!"
"Is this for Oscar?"
The reporters and film critics in the media area were a little excited, they didn't know where the pen and paper in their hands had been thrown away, and who still had time to write, their brains were a little insufficient just to analyze the plot.
The scene turns, Leonardo comes from the Dachau concentration camp to a room, which is Dr. John Cowley's room, and on a sofa, Leonardo sees Ladis, who has a scar on his face, and looks particularly ugly. Ladyce struck a match and walked over to Leonardo and lit a cigarette for him. Suddenly, Ladyce transforms into Chuck, and the ticking of an old-fashioned clock sharpens the atmosphere.
"Ah!!h
With a scream, Leonardo looked back to see Rachel standing there covered in blood, with the three children she had killed at her feet. Leonardo shook his head for a while, holding the child, the scene changed into a lakeside hut, floating in the lake with the child's body, putting the little girl with blood in his hands into the lake, seeing the girl's innocent eyes, Leonardo couldn't help but shed a tear.
Li Boxian, a reporter for "Star Weekly", bit his lip and couldn't help but look at Xiansen's position, he is from China, and this magazine is also an entertainment book in China, because not long after the publication was founded, in order to increase his influence, the editorial department sent him to the United States, the purpose is to report on the latest film of the Chinese director - Mister Sen, who has recently become famous in the United States.
Originally, Li Boxian felt that this job was not difficult, after all, he was also a senior film critic in Huaxia, but now, he realized that his task this time was difficult to complete, this compatriot director unbelievably strung multiple stories on a rope, and each character hid some secrets, even if it was just a small supporting role, which made the story full of weirdness.
Where is Ladis? Who is Rachel? What is the meaning of Shutter Island? Who is Chuck? And who is Teddy? Who is that little girl?
The story is still a mystery at this point, a mystery that people can't help but explore.
"Leo, do you think I'll be scolded after the movie ends?"
Xiansen asked Leonardo next to him very cheaply, judging from the current mood of the movie theater audience, such a thing will not happen, you know, the excitement is still to come.
On the screen, Leonardo suddenly woke up from his dream, everyone else was still sleeping, Leonardo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, at this moment, a person walked in from outside the door, wearing a poncho, water kept sliding from his body, taking off the poncho, it was a woman, Leonardo's dead wife. His wife told him that Lattice was here, and that he had to track it down.
Immediately after, a white light, Leonardo opened his eyes, and the people around him were busy and flustered, and this time Leonardo really woke up.
The storm paralyzed the entire Ashe Mental Hospital's electrical system, and some of the mentally ill escaped, so Leonardo and Chuck prepared to take the opportunity to investigate Area C, where Leonardo was harassed by a psycho who mistook him for Ladis, subdued him in a few strokes, and tried to strangle him to death. Just then, Chuck and the guards arrived to stop the behavior, and Chuck and the guards left with the wounded, leaving Leonardo alone in Area C.
It was a prison with all sorts of mentally ill locked up in a dark, damp cellar with iron bars. Leonardo was convinced that Ladis was here, so he lit matches and watched from room to room. In the last cell, Leonardo saw a man.
"George? George Noyce? No, it can't be, you can't be here. ”
This man who was already insincere was none other than George Noyce, the good college student, the man Leonardo said was serving his sentence in Dydham prison.
"Who made you like this, George?"
Leonardo asked in alarm.
“you!”
George gave his answer.
"It's all because of your words that I came back here, I can't go out again, I went out once, but not a second time."
"Tell me how they got you here?"
"Don't you understand? They know, they know your intentions, they know your whole plan, this is a bureau, a bureau designed for you, you can't investigate anything, you are stuck in a maze! ”
The match went out, Leonardo quickly lit another one, only to see George Noyce crying, and said with a frightened expression: "They are going to take me to the lighthouse, they are going to cut my brain, I am here because of you!" Killing Ladyce and revealing the truth can't be both, you have to make a choice, you know? ”
On one side is conspiracy, on the other side is the enemy, if the theme of this movie is only to stay at the sake of justice and give up private hatred, then the movie will at least drop a notch, film critic Michelle can't help but worry, you must not go this way, otherwise the previous classics will be in vain.
The next plot did not disappoint him, and the movie came to this part of the cliff lighthouse.
Leonardo heard Chuck's voice, and following the sound, he came to the edge of the cliff, where he saw a cigarette, and on the edge of the steep cliff, there was a burning cigarette.
Picking up a cigarette, Leonardo looked down the cliff, where Chuck's body was washed up on the shore by the sea, and despite the danger, Leonardo desperately climbed down the cliff in the hope of saving Chuck. However, when they reached the bottom of the cliff, they found that there was no Chuck's body at all.
At this moment, Leonardo saw a mouse, and following the direction of the mouse, a large group of rats came out of a hole.
Above the cave, there was a larger cave, and Leonardo climbed up the cliff with great difficulty, and in the cave, Leonardo saw a woman, the real Rachel Sanlando.
After some understanding, Rachel Sunlando told Leonardo that before she became a patient, she was actually a doctor in the hospital, she had no children at all, she was not married, and there was a conspiracy on this island; It is also said that if the hospital declares that you are mentally ill, any justification is useless. She also mentioned lobotomy, which she said was a horrific brainwashing operation that turned normal people into neuropaths and turned American soldiers into traitors. She also said that the brain completely controls all of a person's actions, so the brain can recreate a person.
In order to find out the truth of the matter, Leonardo went to the lighthouse, he thought that it must be a Nazi laboratory, lit a car, took advantage of the chaos Leonardo ran towards the lighthouse, snatched a gun from the guard, a series of actions were clean and neat, and the audience secretly applauded, this image is in line with the hero of justice.
Leonardo broke into the lighthouse all the way, and the last office, he believed that it was the end, and when he walked in, the truth was inside.
I kicked open the door, and there was a simple furnishing inside, with no high-end equipment or anything disgusting, except for a table, where Dr. John Cowley was sitting solemnly.
"Is the truth about to come out?"
Every audience watched the movie attentively, and when they heard those muttering, Xiansen couldn't help but laugh in his heart.
"The truth revealed? Haha, I don't think so. ”
The movie scene scanned the room with Leonardo's eyes, and he was nervous, his body trembling.
"What did you do to the security guard?"
John Cowley said this in a flat tone, as if he was used to the situation, picked up the phone, and said, "Yes, he's here, did Dr. Sean take a good look at him before you brought him up?" ”
"So, Dr. Sean arrived at the docks this morning?"
Leonardo interrupted John Cowley's call.
"No, you blew up my car, I love that car. You're shaking even more, what about hallucinations? ”
John Cowley remained calm.
"It's not serious, I know, Dr. Rachel Sanlando told me about neuroanesthesia."
"When?" John Cowley leaned forward and asked.
"I found her, in a cave on the cliff, but you can't catch her!"
"I believe that, because there is no such thing as a person." John Cowley paused, then said, "Your hallucinations are worse than I thought, and you're not taking any nerve anesthetics. ”
"What's going on?"
All the audience leaned forward slightly, they were puzzled and wondered, what about the laboratory? What about the conspiracy? What are hallucinations?
"Then my hands, why are my hands shaking!"
On the screen, Leonardo asked questioningly with a trembling hand.
"It's a withdrawal reaction."
"Withdrawal reaction? What to quit? I didn't drink a drop of alcohol when I came to this island. ”
Leonardo clearly didn't believe John Cowley's words.
"Chlorpromazine, I'm not an expert in pharmacology, but ...... for you"
After a moment of silence, John Cowley continued, "We've been giving you this medicine for the past two years. ”
"So, you've been sending someone to secretly drug me in Boston for the past two years?"
"It's not Boston, it's here, you've been here for two years, you're a patient here."
As soon as John Cowley's words fell, the whole movie theater burst into an uproar.
"How is it possible, God, how is this possible"
"Is this the truth? No, no, no, the movie isn't over yet, I don't believe it"
"It's a conspiracy, yes, an absolute conspiracy, and they've designed it here!"
In the midst of this noise, Leonardo on the screen retorted, and at this time, the sound unity in the theater came to an abrupt end, and everyone clenched their fists, so that they did not believe that this was the truth.
"Doctor, I've seen so much here, do you think you can convince me that I'm insane? Don't talk about you, what kind of people haven't I met? I'm the U.S. Federal Police."
"That was before."
John Cowley interrupted Leonardo.
"This is a copy of the admission form you broke into the ward in Area C, you have tried to prove the existence of patient 67, if you bring him to the mainland, you can uncover the truth here, you haven't had time to see it with your own eyes."
After speaking, he handed the case sheet in his hand to Leonardo.
"The patient is extremely intelligent, a decorated veteran with extreme delusional disorder, who participated in the liberation of the Dachau concentration camp, a former U.S. federal police officer, and has violent tendencies. There is no remorse for the crimes committed, because he denies the existence of any crimes, and he concocts complete and absurd stories so that he does not recognize what he has done"
After reading this, Leonardo threw the medical record to John Cowley and roared loudly, "I don't want to see this, what about my partner?" Chuck, where is he! ”
"You come to find the truth, the truth is here, your name is Andrew Lattice, and patient 67 at Ashe Mental Hospital is you! Two years ago, you were sentenced by the court to come here, and you were horrible in sin, and you couldn't forgive yourself, so you created another version of yourself! You create a story where you're not a murderer, you're a hero, because a case comes to Ashe's asylum and you discover a conspiracy so that whatever we say you are and what you do, you think it's a lie, Andrew. ”
"My name is Edward Teddy!"
Leonardo corrected.
"I've been listening to your story for two years now, and I know all the details, Patient 67, Storm, Rachel Sunlando, your missing partner, your nightly dreams, you did go to Dachau concentration camp, but you didn't kill any of the guards."
With a long sigh, John Cowley added, "I wish you could live in a fantasy world, that's true. But you're too violent, too trained, too dangerous, and you're the most dangerous patient here. You hurt the orderly, the guards, the other patients, and two weeks ago, you beat George Noyce because he called you Lattice. And you want to be someone else. ”
Maybe the truth of the story has been completely revealed by this point, but such a result obviously did not satisfy the audience, they would never have thought that all this conspiracy was just the imagination of a mentally ill person, and they were fooled by this conjecture.
"Maybe we're all wrong."
Michelle has been thinking about it for a long time, and he has begun to accept the truth of the story, this movie is definitely a good suspense thriller, yes, excellent, it will perfectly present the cold war, violence, mental illness and both sides of the surname, etc., especially the narrative method, which can be described as the peak, but the only flaw is that the director finally told the truth of the story, and a movie with the truth cannot be called a high IQ.
As the story draws to a close, John Cowley tells Leonardo that the board of directors has decided to take some steps to lobotomize him, and boasts that Haikou can use cosplay to bring him back to his senses.
At the end of the sentence, John Cowley took out a picture of Leonardo's daughter and handed it over.
Seeing the photo of his daughter, Leonardo's eyes were full of tears, and he tried to reach out to touch his beloved daughter in the photo, and that momentary tenderness touched the softest place of every viewer. Hathaway's tears began to fall when she saw this.
Leonardo fell into memories: when he came back from work that day, the first thing he did was to open the wine cabinet to find a drink, and when he walked to the lake and saw his wet wife, but he couldn't see his three children, he suddenly realized that something was wrong, and looked into the lake, his three children were floating on the lake, Leonardo rushed into the lake like crazy, hugged his three children by his side, and cried loudly. Dragging the child from the lake to the shore and carefully placing it on the grass, the wordless pain that every viewer can feel.
"Bang!"
With a single shot, Leonardo killed his wife in grief, and Leonardo fainted after watching his wife bleed to the end.
By the time Leonardo woke up, he was completely awake and confessed that he had killed his wife, and the reason was that she had killed three children.
The next morning, when the sun was shining and Leonardo was sitting at the top of the stairs, Dr. John Cowley, Dr. Narlin, and the warden were watching him from afar, Dr. Sean, aka Chuck, came to his side, handed him a cigarette, and said, "How was this morning?" ”
After taking the cigarette and lighting it, Leonardo whispered, "What are we going to do next?" We're getting out of here, Chuck, we're going back to the mainland."
Hearing this, Chuck's face turned solemn and he shook his head at Dr. John Cowley, signaling that their method had failed.
"This makes me wonder, what should people do? Do you live like a monster, or do you die like a normal person? ”
These were Leonardo's last words, and with that, he stood up and walked towards the warden
"Teddy."
Leonardo did not look back, his back farther and farther away, farther and farther away
"Director: Mister SenProducer: Mister SenStarring: Leonardo DiCaprio"
The movie ended in such an ending, there was no sound in the theater for half a day, and everyone sat there stunned, without giving the slightest reaction.
"God!"
Michelle Clarkson's hands trembled, the pen fell from his hand to the ground, although the movie is over, he still can't get out of this shock, the last shot, and the last sentence, what kind of determination, and what kind of sadness.
"Is it to live like a monster, or to die like a normal person."
As soon as he remembered the scene when Leonardo said this, Michelle's tears could not stop flowing, this is the movie that touches the heart, he has not cried for many years.
War, violence, surnames, good and evil, redemption, sickness, choice
These words can no longer summarize the movie at this time, Michelle took a deep breath, he decided to take back his previous words, this is not a good movie, let alone a classic movie, this is a great, yes, great movie!
It's also bound to be one of the best movies of the year, not even one of them!
It's incredible, it's incredible, the film is sure to be shortlisted for the Oscars, and the 23-year-old Mister Sen may even win the Oscar for Best Director.
Thinking of this, Michelle Clarkson couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"No, no, no, this is not the end, the story should be like this, Teddy is definitely an agent, this is definitely a conspiracy, what it wants to express is that when the analysis and evidence of the surname point to you being a madman, do you believe in memory, or believe in the basis of reality, yes, it must be so!"
"No way, Teddy must be a madman"
There was no applause, and after the movie ended, the Dolby Theater went from quiet to noisy, where everyone was discussing their own understanding of the film.
"Friends, friends, the movie is over, there are other audiences behind, and now you can leave."
Seeing the quarrel in the theater gradually escalating, Xiansen couldn't help but stand up and shout.
"Exit? I don't want it, I have to watch it again, can I make up a ticket? ”
"yes, I don't want to quit either"
"Oh my God, are you going to leave now? Damn, how did I only buy a ticket for one show"
“”
In the screening hall, nearly half of the audience is reluctant to leave their seats, and it is not too much to watch such a movie a hundred times.
"I'm sorry, but I'm sorry that all the tickets are sold out today."
"Extra, can we add extras?"
“”
