Chapter 521： deadly identity

The rumbling sound of thunder, from the very beginning of the movie, when the famous Goddess logo of Columbia Pictures appeared in the title title, it sounded in the ears of the audience, and there were still people looking around in the dark movie theater. It was muffled and gradually quieted down.

"As I walked up the stairs, I saw a man who wasn't there. Today he wasn't there again, and I hope...I hope he'll be gone forever," the film's muffled narration, before it disappears in the opening credits, is Whispering in the ear, many viewers have not recovered yet. At this point, everyone understood what James Mangold's words meant for everyone to pay attention to the details. In this movie, every scene and every line is very important. If you miss it, maybe your understanding of the whole movie will be lost. influential. Of course, this is just the beginning, and it's too early to tell whether the whole movie can maintain this level.

A movie starts with a tape being played. It was a man who read the poem just now, and then another man asked, "Where did you learn that poem?"

"I made it up myself. I made it up randomly when I was a child." This was the answer of the man who read poetry. On the screen, the important subtitle appeared again, and the tape of the running tape recorder read, "Sixth Consultation (6/8), Patient: McCann-River". Then the picture became messy, and a stick figure appeared, and there were several figures painted with red color representing blood, which made people inexplicable.

Along with the voice of the narrator asking the words of the mother of the man who read poetry, the file of a woman appeared on the screen. This woman should be the mother of the man who read poetry, a prostitute who had committed the crime of theft and the crime of disturbing the weather. The narration and the picture complement each other and outline the life experience of the man who reads poetry. He was abandoned and abused by his mother and ended up in a foster care center for children.

The man reading the poem is the patient McCann Reeve, and the other man is the doctor who appears in the picture studying the medical records. McCann Reeve, who committed the brutal murder that killed six travelers in a motel, had schizophrenia, doctors ruled. Via newspaper headlines. It can be learned that McCann-Rive has entered the end of the trial, and the doctor tried to testify on his behalf, but the court rejected the request.

At this time, strange symbols appeared on the screen. In a circle, "10/2" and "10/3" are written like fractions, but no one understands them. The doctor asked, "What should I call you?" McCann-Rive replied, "Whatever you want."

in the first three minutes of the movie. The director uses pictures and narration. The messy editing stuffed the audience with a lot of information, and before the audience could react, the picture moved forward again. Eyes and ears have to process countless pieces of information at the same time, just to sketch out that McCann-Rive is a murderer, a doctor has ruled him schizophrenia, and the rest is just a few bits and pieces. The audience doesn't even have a way to construct accurate information in their minds. certainly. If the focus is not enough because it has just started. Then you must be confused and understand nothing.

Grey Lennon was sitting in the cinema right now. He took a special afternoon off today, and he couldn't miss the premiere of "Deadly Identity" in New York. Although he did not participate in the excitement of the red carpet, he bought the movie tickets for the premiere early, and he is now staring at the big screen.

The brain needs to process too much movie information, and James Mangold did not leave enough time to react, so Grey Lennon could only frown slightly, and decided to watch it first. If you don't understand it, you can only watch it a second time later.

In the majestic rainy night, the McCann-Rive case, which has been sentenced to death, was tried to be re-trialed by a hearing at midnight because the defendant discovered new evidence: a diary. Prosecutors said McCann-Rive was on his way to court and needed a judge to come right away.

As soon as the picture changed, the scarlet "Motel" sign in the suburbs looked very desolate in the heavy rain. A thin man, sitting in a motel, drinking and watching game shows. Suddenly a car stopped at the door of the hotel, and a man was soaked wet, and came in with a woman covered in blood, crying and saying, "She has been bleeding. There was a car accident, we had a car accident. ."

With the word car accident, the picture changed again. The man who was talking just now, and the woman he was holding, appeared in a family car with a cute little boy named Timsy sitting in the back seat of the car. This should be the plot of the car accident earlier.

The car was driving in a storm, and halfway through the drive, the tires ran over something and started to skid. However, although the man panicked, he chanted the contents of the safety manual and successfully stopped the car. After getting out of the car, the man discovered that the tire had run over a leopard-print high-heeled shoe, which caused it to slip.

Along the high heels, the camera explains why high heels appear on the road. Under the lens of James Mangold, the story is restored in flashbacks using one word, one object and one picture as clues. A prostitute left a client, and then stuffed his gold lighter into her bag. When the prostitute wanted to smoke in the convertible, she found that she could not find it. She subconsciously opened her suitcase and searched for it. . Unexpectedly, the strong wind poured into the convertible and blew all the clothes in the trunk, including the leopard print high heels.

Leopard-print heels caused the family's three-person car accident. The man got out of the car to change the tires, while the woman and her son were talking through the glass of the car. The son put his hand on the glass, and the mother put her hand on the glass; the son stepped back a little later, and the mother stepped back a little; the son stepped back a little further, and the mother took a big step back. At this time, a car rushed directly over and knocked my mother over to the ground.

This violent impact caused Grey Lennon to lean back immediately, his entire back sticking to the back of the chair. The dark tone, the continuous heavy rain, coupled with the visual impact, the atmosphere of suspense, horror and fear began to spread in the cinema.

In fact, on top of the car that knocked over my mother, sat a female star and her driver, Evan Bell, a suave driver. The female star was complaining with her agent on her mobile phone, but the signal was always bad on rainy days, and then the phone ran out of battery. The actress ordered the driver to rummage in the bag to find the battery. It was this moment of inattention that led to the accident.

Accident, an accident, an accident. A series of accidents, heavy rain and floods, trapped eleven people in the motel. The road was blocked and the communication was interrupted. The motel in this desert was isolated from the world.

The story moves so fast that the audience doesn't even have time to think about how these people trapped in the motel are related to the beginning of the movie. There are also people who boldly speculate that it was mentioned at the beginning that McCann Reeve killed six people in the motel, which happened here, and this is the review of the case? However, no one has seen the appearance of McCann Reeve in the wanted photo, so this speculation remains skeptical. Everyone didn't think too much, and could only focus on the advancement of the movie's plot.

Former police officer Ed, former female star Caroline, motel manager Larry, prostitute Paris, a young couple Ginny and Louis, current police officer Rhodes, prisoner Robert, a family of three George, Alice and kid Timsey. This is one person, ten and a half people to be precise, gathered in the motel.

It seemed that everyone had a secret, and Larry was hiding in this motel as if he was covering up the truth. Paris hid a bag full of cash. The relationship between Ginny and Louis is on thin ice, and they don't even want to share a bed with Chuáng. The relationship between Rhodes and Robert is also not like a normal policeman and prisoner. There is a hole in the back of Rhodes' T-shirt and a large pool of blood stains. The prisoner Robert is waiting for an opportunity to escape. George and Alice are second-married, and Timsey had an unhappy childhood. Ed is on medication, and he also seems to be a storyteller. The camera is concise and fast to promote the development of the plot, the cool atmosphere, the rhythm that has been playing in the ears, so that the audience's mood can never calm down.

At this moment, the out-of-date actress Caroline finally couldn't bear it anymore. She took the charged mobile phone, looked for the signal in the sky, and tried to dial her agent's phone number again. When she came to her senses, she had reached the remote stillness on the side of the hotel, and after a terrified scream, the blood splattered to indicate the loss of her life.

Ed, who was lying on the bed, noticed something was wrong. After he got up, he followed the traces left by Caroline and found the laundry room. Opening the running laundry tubs one by one, Ed found Caroline's leopard print dress. After opening it, he saw Caroline with only one head left.

Murder happened!

Almost no one feels the accident After all, this is the tone of the suspense thriller, but everyone is guessing, who is the murderer?

Later, Larry and Rhodes appeared in the laundry room together. Rhodes found the room key with the house number in the blood stains. It was not Caroline's room key, but the room "10" where Rhodes lived. .

Ed's first reaction was, "What about your prisoner?"

"Hold on the toilet." Rhodes said.

But when I returned to the room, I found that the prisoner Robert had disappeared. Could it be that Robert is the murderer?

Just when everyone was immersed in their thoughts, the film turned the camera again. All the characters that appeared just now disappeared. Except for the rainy night, the scene was completely new, as if it was a conference room. Instead, the characters who appeared at the beginning, doctors, lawyers, judges, prosecutors, etc. appeared. Only then did the audience realize that the movie should have two main lines, so what is the relationship between these two main lines?
