With the continuous development of the plot, the audience finally see the basic clues and framework. The hero Leonard not only lost his wife, but also suffered from transient amnesia because of the rapist's entering the room. The director specially used the scene of the wine hostess spitting in the wine pot to make an explanation, but also caused the audience's laughter? The surviving hero used the photo help Help his memory, began to tirelessly search for the rapist, want to revenge for his wife.
However, the director told the story in a two-line way: forward and backward. Although the structure is novel, it seems that it is hard to avoid. If you don't pay attention to it, you may miss some clues. For example, the hero is obviously related to Teddy, who was shot by him in the beginning, and he's weird when he explains his symptoms by telling about the same man who had a transient amnesia and killed his wife. Unfortunately, there are too many clues and entanglement, and the plot develops very fast, which is difficult to understand.
If someone wants to play the movie again, it may not be very attractive.
Finally, the film is put to the end, and everything has been revealed. Even if some viewers miss a lot of clues, they still understand the ending. Teddy was a policeman. He had helped Leonard find the criminal who raped his wife. Leonard had already avenged him for it, but he forgot. Then Teddy used him to kill a drug dealer and swallow $200000, and Leonard, who knew all this, no longer trusted him and took a picture of him saying don't be fooled again. In the end, under various factors, Leonard killed Teddy as the murderer of his wife, so there was the first scene, but it was not known whether Leonard would forget.
As the subtitles finished, the lights came on. However, there was no applause in the theater, only intermittent discussions. Although we have generally understood what the story is, many places can not be understood by reading it once. For example, is the man in Leonard's mouth who suffered from transient amnesia really exists or is he just imagining it? Was his wife killed by a rapist or was he responsible for it? The audience exchanged their views and forgot that the film was over.
"It seems that the film failed, and there was no applause." Adrian, sitting in the back of the set, sighed, "I have to say, Dan, you really let me down."
"Me?" Sitting in Lafayette, Dennis looked at Adrian inexplicably.
"Yes, you are an actor. Shouldn't you take some responsibility?" Adrian was serious.
"This..." Dennis looked around in dismay and sighed after a long time, "Kate and Joe are also actors."
"That's not the same," Adrian immediately waved. "You have the most parts."
Kate, who was sitting next to him, finally couldn't help it. She chuckled and said, "OK, ED, stop playing tricks on Dan. Didn't you hear their discussion? Maybe the applause will start in a moment
As soon as the words fell, clapping applause began to ring. At first, there was only one person. After a few seconds, most people joined in, just because of the discussion of the plot of the film. There were many people applauding, but the applause was slightly sparse.
"How about it?" Kate immediately puffed up her chest.
"Very good, very good." Adrian laughs and kisses her beautiful face.
Joe pantoriano, who saw all this, patted Dennis on the shoulder and said in a serious tone, "let's go, Dan. This has become a place for them to hang out."
Several crew members around suddenly chuckled, and Kate was a little embarrassed and stopped coughing.
"Well, guys, it's almost done, and we should leave." Look at the audience has begun to walk out in twos and threes. Adrian stands up and greets everyone to go back, but as soon as he reaches the aisle, he is stopped by several people.
"Hello, Mr. Adrian. This is John Bateson of the Los Angeles evening news. May I ask you a few questions?" Said a man with brown hair and fair features.
"Mr. Adrian, I'm from the Eastern Republic. Can I talk about your film?" The man behind Bateson held out his hand. He had a very striking ears. He was French, because he spoke French.
A few others introduced themselves in their native language or English with strange accent. Adrian nodded and glanced at Lafayette who was following him. Lafayette shrugged imperceptibly.
Are they all tabloids? OK, it doesn't matter. Adrian raised his hand with a smile: "thank you for your support. If you have any questions, please don't be too tricky. I think you don't want me to say something like no comment?"
Although the mainstream of Berlin Film Festival is political oriented films, as one of the most influential film festivals in the world, there are still many excellent films to attend, such as the silent lamb, which took the best film and best actor and heroine at the 64th Oscars. And like Dennis and others, Anthony Hopkins and Judy foster, the leading actors, attended the Berlin Film Festival.Although Adrian, the director and producer of "two big guns", has gained a lot of attention in the past few months, he is still a new director after all, and in the eyes of journalists, the news value of the director is always no better than those big stars, so the well-known media have gone around those more famous directors and stars.
However, it doesn't matter, there is always better than nothing. A few months ago, in Venice, even after "two big guns" was well received, few journalists visited him - although taking Kate around was one of the reasons.
Adrian's cooperative attitude has won the favor of many people. The first question he asked was the French reporter: "I want to know, what's the purpose of your editing, Mr. Adrian?"
"It's storytelling, of course. The editing methods that make people surprised or surprised or confused are actually to tell good stories." Adrian replied with a smile, but it is hard to avoid scolding an idiot in his heart. Although attention is a good thing, if you are stupid, you can't help it. The tabloids are just tabloids.
"It's an amazing movie. Can I know who killed Leonard's wife?" This is John Bateson of the Los Angeles evening news.
Another Adrian shrugged: "I'm sorry, I can't say that directly. I can only say that all the clues are in the movie. If you have any questions or something wrong, you may as well watch it again in the theater. "
Other tabloid reporters, like them, are always asking questions about the plot, which makes Adrian depressed. But it's also true to think about it. The tabloids are all chasing the most eye-catching tidbits, and they will come to visit him. In addition to just meeting him, it is mainly because the suspense of the film is too attractive. From this point of view Not bad.
As they chatted and walked out, a group of people quickly came outside the theater, and Adrian gave Lafayette a look. Lafayette nodded knowingly, and suddenly said in a loud voice, "if you're not satisfied, you can ask Mr. Dennis knight. He's the main character of the whole movie."
The reporters were stunned, and then surrounded Dennis. Sure enough, in the eyes of journalists, especially entertainment journalists of tabloids, the value of actors is much higher than that of directors. Dennis was obviously flattered. Although there were only seven or eight reporters around and all of them were tabloid reporters, when did he get such treatment? Even after appearing in a film with a good reputation and box office. But then he calmed down and responded with a smile. He could see that he liked the scene.
Seeing that the reporters' attention was attracted by Dennis, Adrian pulled Kate away quietly. I believe that with Dennis's ability and Lafayette and pantoriano in the side of the advice, there will be no problem.
"Really, I want to stay there and wait for them to ask me a few questions?" After walking two streets and looking at the reporters who couldn't find them, Kate suddenly complained, but look at the crescent eyes and the playful expression to see what she was thinking.
"Well, then, big star, Miss Kate Beckinsale, what do you think of your role this time?" Adrian asked with a smile.
"Well..." Kate tilted her head and thought for a moment. Her face suddenly collapsed. "Feeling Not so good. "
"Why?" Adrian had an accident.
"Think about it, my first character is a guy who smokes marijuana all day, and he doesn't have a single line. My second character, who is full of swearing and has been killed as a drug dealer None of them are normal. " Kate sighed, "especially the makeup in the memory fragment It's so ugly. I dare not see it on the screen. It's strange. I didn't think it was so ugly when I was on the set... "
Adrian couldn't help laughing. "Well, when you have time, I'll see what's right for you in a romantic comedy, a character who's dressed up to be sexy and attractive."
Kate was about to say hello, but saw Adrian's smile and swallowed it back.
"What's the matter Isn't that right? " Kate asked.
"No, nothing." Now Adrian sighed. "Frankly, you're doing a great job in" memory shards, "better than Dan, less than Joe."
This is true. Although Dennis did a good job, makeup and acting basically met Adrian's requirements, he was still too young to do well in some small details. The average viewer may not notice it, but Adrian, who has seen it countless times as a clip, knows that. Fortunately, there are enough wonderful stories to make up for that.
Although Kate is also young, or even a little too young, she is not like Dennis, the camera runs through the whole film; secondly, the younger she is, the more flexible she is. In addition, Adrian, who is very familiar with the film, slightly modifies the script and instructs her from the side, and makes it more difficult for her to make up than the original version The ugly clothes covered her beauty, so she played very well.(yesterday I went to watch the "secret service of beautiful girls". The full screen CG ah, the translation of "sweet beans" and "big money" is also shocking. But despite all this, the story is actually sad. Unfortunately, most people's attention is focused on CG. But it also shows how important the storytelling technique is to the director. Schneider is not as good as Nolan. This film could have been comparable to inception, but it's a pity.)
