There is such a category of films, after which you need to watch another movie, with a detailed explanation of its true meaning.
On the one hand, such paintings make viewers seriously plunge into reflection on what they see.
However, for many of us it would be better to get some copyright explanations so as not to be tormented by doubts about the correctness of the understood idea of the creators of the tape.
10. Mulholland Drive | 2001
Dayan sees a long, realistic dream - the main character of the film, a failed actress, who was also abandoned by her lover, Camilla, who is soon about to become the wife of a successful film director.
Dayana is depressed - she feels abandoned, anger and despair overwhelm her. In real life, the girl decides to hire a killer to kill Camilla. Dayana’s nervous system does not withstand constant stress, so the psyche, saving her, plunges into the world of illusion, where she can feel herself as she wants.
The world of sleep is that space where Dayana can feel happy. Here her name is different - Betty, and besides, in this illusion she has a completely different, prosperous fate. Dreams - this is the only opportunity for the main character to plunge into a comfortable reality and escape from the awareness of the irreversibility of death.
9. Mom! | 2017
In addition to many other encrypted messages that can be seen in this metaphorical picture, the film can be called a kind of retelling of the Bible. There are all the characters of the main Christian book.
The first people who neglected the instruction of the Lord also appear on the screen: there is no forbidden fruit, and their children Cain and Abel. Other recognizable biblical events also take place there. At the end of the tape, the director asks the viewer a question: people, how long will God tolerate all this?
8. Arrival | 2016
Watching the events taking place on the screen, at first you might think that they unfold after the death of Anna, the daughter of the main character. However, this is only a peculiar authoring technique.
Gradually understanding the language of the aliens, Louise suddenly ceases to perceive time as a sequential course of events, so she has the opportunity to see what will happen to her in the future.
Taking his fate, the main character still decides to marry Ian and have a baby.
7. Mr. Nobody | 2009
When viewing this picture, each viewer can bring out some kind of philosophical seed. However, the main idea of the film is that each person makes the choice that suits his heart.
External circumstances or the opinions of others should not be decisive. The main thing is our internal aspirations, and everything else is secondary.
Silently, he rejects the two paths imposed by his parents, and decides to go the third, which he chose. It is this choice that leads him to treasured happiness.
6. Under cover of night | 2016
The novel that Edward devotes to his ex-wife is an attempt to take revenge on her and make it clear what trauma she inflicted on him with her act. For him, the loss of his beloved wife and unborn child is as difficult as the loss that the central character of his novel had to experience. Perhaps he compares Susan with the bandits whom he himself invented and described in his book.
The main motive of the protagonist is an ardent desire to make his wife regret her decision and injure her as much as she did.
As a result, she comes to the realization of what she actually accomplished, so the hope remains that the heroine will find the strength in herself to analyze her life and return to her real self.
5. Remember | 2000
Here the hero in vain hopes that the implementation of the planned revenge will help him drown out the pain of loss that the death of his beloved wife brought, but this does not happen, but, on the contrary, the pain only intensifies.
When the viewer sees in the final episode of the film how the main character hugs his wife and the inscription “I have done this” becomes visible on his chest, then everything becomes clear.
4. Only lovers will survive | 2013
In this film, several key ideas are encrypted. First of all, this is the eternal problem of “grief from the mind”: central heroes are not only mentally developed, but also immortal. Such a combination can drain the soul and make human existence meaningless.
The second message is that only love gives meaning to life, so the characters in the film find seeds to live on.
3. Donnie Darko | 2001
This is one of those paintings that allow many interpretations. In the coordinate system invented by the director, along with the material somewhere, a parallel world exists.
Donnie Darko in this case acts as a kind of conductor who can spend the world a certain number of days ago.
The main idea of the film is the struggle of a person with a mysterious energy, pushing him to inevitable death. The acceptance of the death of the main character is not a manifestation of weakness, but his humble sacrifice for the sake of saving relatives.
2. Destruction | 2015
Accident is probably the main driving energy of the life of everyone in particular and of our entire society. The death of the wife of the protagonist was accidental; by chance his life took on a new meaning after meeting with Karen.
Having analyzed his life in detail, he still manages to realize that we do not live according to the script and fill our reality with whatever we want.
1. Pulp Fiction | 1994
Do you remember that famous episode in Quentin Tarantino’s cult film “Pulp Fiction”, when the heroine of Uma Thurman tells her companion, with whom she will embark on an unrestrained dance, that she recently starred in the pilot episode of the new series.
According to the plot, there were five spy girls: a commander, a Japanese woman - a kung fu champion, a black woman - an expert in explosives, a sexy French woman and the heroine Uma - a deadly beauty who wields a sword better than a fork.
Do not you think that this company is very reminiscent of the characters of the equally famous Tarantino's film “Kill Bill”, which he shot ten years after the “Pulp Fiction”?
