The basic plot of the film is that Ruolan and Rumei are twin sisters, Ruolan falls in love with the watchmaker A Liang, Rumei chooses the filmmaker Tianlun, and only one of the sisters survives the shipwreck. Who is the surviving Liu Shishi?
Do you think Rumei is back? Do you think Lan Ruo is back? You think this is just a movie playing guessing games, but you can't guess who is still alive in the end, and then you and your friends have a quarrel about who is still alive? Ahem, Tucson's model is broken. ...
In fact, all the questions and answers in the movie "The First Five Minutes of the Night" appeared in the first five minutes, and then the movie spent the next two hours explaining what was said in the first five minutes through a shell of suspense love. Don't believe it? So let's infer from the details ... This article is divided into entry level, progressive level and ultimate level. Please read according to your IQ. Damn it, I've been writing for so long, don't you dare to finish it!
For the convenience of expression and to take care of the audience's different understanding of the role, we call Lan Ruo and Rumei, who can be distinguished at a glance, "Lan Ruo" and "Rumei", while Liu Shishi uses them when there is only one person after the accident.
Detail explanation-entry level
Let's sum up some obvious details first. As long as you watch the movie carefully, you will notice:
1. The biggest physiological difference between Lan Ruo and Rumei is that Lan Ruo can swim, but Rumei can't. In order to make himself different from his sister, Lan Ruo also specially studied swimming. Later, swimming became a way for Rumei to prove her identity. Therefore, after determining her identity, Rumei chose to jump into the swimming pool to test whether she really can't swim.
2. Tianlun (played by Zhang Zuze) and A Liang (played by Miura Haruma) are two extreme male types. Lan Ruo and Rumei originally liked men with family relations, so Rumei was shocked when Lan Ruo told her that she was the boy who accosted A Liang-this was the second difference between her and her sister deliberately created by Lan Ruo.
If Lan and Rumei are identical twins, they look exactly alike and grew up in the same environment, their parents will dress them in different colors to show the difference. But these two hooligans have communicated many times since they were young, and they can't tell the difference. This is not the first time they changed clothes, nor is it the last time they played on the swing on the glass at the beginning of the movie.
The clothes that Tianlun gave her are as blue as roses. That dress was found by my mother among Lan Ruo's relics. It is unknown where Rumei's clothes came from, but the real Rumei has never experienced the clothes given by her family.
5. A Liang told Lan Ruo the story of "five minutes". Lan Ruo fancied that she could be different from Rumei in a five-minute deviation, so A Liang gave Lan Ruo a watch and slowed it down for five minutes. This is the tacit understanding between the couple. Later, A Liang, who lived in the deviation for five minutes, repeatedly identified Liu Shishi by proofreading the time.
Lan Ruo told A Liang that she had a scar on her head when she fell from the swing when she was a child, but A Liang had never seen this scar. Rumei also told Tianlun that she fell off the swing when she was a child. Tianlun had seen Rumei's scar, but he didn't check whether the surviving Liu Shishi had a scar on his head. A Liang saw that the surviving Liu Shishi had a scar on his head, but he couldn't confirm whether it was the same scar, because he had never seen Lan Ruo's scar. So scars can't be used as substantial evidence to judge sisters.
7. In fact, A Liang and Tianlun didn't know whether the surviving Liu Shishi was Lan Ruo or Rumei in the end, but Tianlun chose to run away, while A Liang chose to give her a hug full of confusion, just like giving Lan Ruo a hug when she told A Liang about his confusion after a four-person party, which means that she is recognized now.
When Lan Ruo and Rumei went to Mauritius together, Lan Ruo wrote a letter to A Liang. The contents of the letter are as follows: a. I like being twins with Rumei, and I no longer hate her for stealing my life; B I understood, "You don't need to be five minutes fast, you don't need to be five minutes slow, just at that moment". I don't need to slow my watch for five minutes to feel that I am not as beautiful as a rose, because I want to enjoy every moment. A Liang, I love you very much (voice in the watch shop). _ _ Men's Show
9. After divorcing Tianlun, Liu Shishi went through Pessoa's poems at home in A Liang, and then went to Mauritius. The scene of going to Mauritius alone this time and the two sisters going to Mauritius together a year ago was alternately edited.
10. A year ago in Mauritius, Lan Ruo put the watch sent by A Liang in the church, exchanged the cross, and then Lan Ruo gave it to Rumei when the shipwreck happened. A year later, Liu Shishi came to the church, put the cross back in its place, exchanged the watch that A Liang gave Lan Ruo, and then returned to the watch shop in A Liang, Shanghai, quietly put the watch on A Liang's desk and left alone (only her actions woke A Liang up too much, and then A Liang chased him out).

The next part is the entry-level difficulty, which requires you to know something about China movies and culture (a foreign director knows so much about China movies and culture that I can only say: Please accept my knees! ); Besides, I'm going to do some simple supplementary knowledge so that I can read after class.
12. When I first met Lan Ruo in A Liang, I was repairing my watch, and Cui Jian's "Flower Girl" was playing on the radio. The lyrics are like this: "I walked by you alone and I have nothing to say to you." I dare not look up at you, oh ... face. You took me into your greenhouse, and I couldn't escape the fragrance of flowers. I unconsciously forgot, oh. Oh ... girl! " This song symbolizes A Liang's state of mind at that time, that is, she was attracted by Lan Ruo and fell in love with her.
13, this song was interrupted by the book that the old man dropped on the ground. A Liang picked up a book and read a poem in it. This is an excerpt from Pessoa's poem The Shepherd. He read that "beauty is something that doesn't exist ..." There are two meanings here. On the one hand, this is in line with A Liang's fascination with Lan Ruo's beauty. I wonder if this meeting is her own dream, but the goddess doesn't actually exist; On the other hand, when it comes to entering the class, details will be shown later.
A Liang and Lan Ruo met for the first time. When they arrived at the square, the old movie being shown was 1959 from changchun film studio's love movie Five Golden Flowers. The plot of the film is that young people who like each other sing to express their feelings, which means that A Liang and Lan Ruo are in love at this moment, so they are clasping their fingers at this moment.
After the sisters went to Mauritius, A Liang heard that the tune played on the radio was Liang Zhu while repairing his watch, and then he was interrupted by the news of his death from Mauritius. He looked up and saw butterflies hovering over his room-Liang Zhu+death+butterfly = becoming a butterfly, which is a metaphor for physical destruction and soul freedom. This is an expression of the implicit beauty of the East and China. When you heard the news of death and saw a butterfly, the director was worried that you wouldn't understand that it was "becoming a butterfly", so he specially played Liang Zhu's music. This is really a good idea.
16, when Liu Shishi came back from Mauritius, she and A Liang took to the streets. This time, the movie in the square was 1948' s film "Spring in a Small Town" directed by Fei Mu (this movie should not be missed among the top ten movies in China). In the film, the hero and heroine struggle between morality and love, while A Liang in the square tries to hold Rumei's hand but withdraws it. It shows that A Liang is struggling at this time, showing love or abstinence, which reflects his inner struggle.
17, Tianlun and Liu Shishi filmed a movie clip after returning from the shipwreck. This is Ruan Yuling's masterpiece 1934, the silent film Goddess directed by Wu Yonggang. Later, the subtitle of "Rumei's Divorce" written in the newspaper was "Goddess 20 14 Stop Shooting". However, Zhang told Tianlun that Rumei had become a little different after surviving the shipwreck, which aggravated her doubts. What she watched alone in the editing room was also a classic clip from Goddess. This is the director's tribute to the classic era of China's films, and also to further deepen the suspense and highlight the identity of actress Mei. This involves joining the class, and the details will be shown later.
18, Pessoa's poem was read twice in the movie. Old Newman specially introduced the author's full name and nationality, and also gave a close-up of the title (that is, let you go back to Baidu). The director chose Pessoa among many poets. Why? Popular science time: Fernando? Pessoa is a famous Portuguese poet. "Pessoa" means "mask" in Portuguese. He also created more than 70 different names (not pseudonyms) to write different poems, and forged the lives of several "different writers" and their correspondence. In short, this is a great writer with a very serious tendency of self-division, and the director also echoes that Lan Ruo and Rumei have great problems in identity, that is, self-identity obstacles.
