What are the subtle metaphors in the movie Chapter 11?

It is often said that life is like a play, and play is like life. There are many moments in the movie Chapter 11, and we all feel that life is just an act. The structure of the play in this play is a metaphor of the stage to life. And in front of different people, you have to play different roles. Once you play for a long time, you may even wonder, which is the real yourself? Will we all be gradually changed by our roles? This kind of confusion is also the eleventh chapter directed by Chen Jianbin. As an old actor and a "new director", this new film is more mature and heavy than the last director's A Spoon, and has more room to interpret reality and absurdity.

The film tells the story of "coward" Ma Fuli, who started an amazing journey of "reversing his conviction" because of the adaptation of the drama troupe. In order to defend the truth in his mouth, Ma Fuli tried his best to stop the rehearsal of the play, but unexpectedly learned the truth of the case that year. There are many metaphors in the movie Chapter 11. The sense of absurdity and black humor are balanced with the director's strong desire for self-expression, which makes him feel amazing at first sight.

In the film, each character has a dual identity of A and B, that is, one is the fictional self in others' mouths, and the other is the real id in the real state, just like the artistic treatment in the drama. In movies, many mirror images are constantly opened, which makes it difficult to distinguish reality from reality. Even if I stand in front of the TV, we will see that it is difficult to tell which one is really searching for me because of the different models and borders of the TV screen. In fact, everyone's self and object, even without drama, will have different feelings and experiences in life. When people get used to a person's identity, will his true self still matter? Will it disappear completely? This question is really intriguing.

Chapter 11 has a scene, in the rehearsal room in spring and summer, holding an apple. The voice-over asked, "Where's my apple?" Chun Xia asked, "Isn't it in your hand?" But the truth that everyone can clearly see is that Apple is in the hands of spring and summer, and the voice-over is looking for this apple, not the Apple mobile phone. This shows that, in the final analysis, people just interpret everything, and the angle they are willing to interpret may have nothing to do with the truth itself. In other words, expressing your memory constitutes you now, but sometimes we are not particularly sure what happened. In fact, is this situation very different from us in reality? We constantly refresh all kinds of massive information on the Internet every day. Some articles or small videos have a great influence on our subjective judgment, just like Malik R&F, we can't help but nod wildly. He is addicted to the ocean of useless information and has long lost himself.

Although the eleventh chapter is a film of absurd comedy type, putting on the coat of black humor brings us not only joy, but also an analysis of the truth, which is angular and particularly powerful. The whole article consists of chapters and chapters, but after careful counting, the whole film has only ten chapters. Then we can't help wondering, where is the eleventh time mentioned in the title? Perhaps, when every audience comes out of the movie and returns to their own lives, this is the real eleventh time!
