American psychologist John Holden arrives in London to participate in a symposium aiming to expose witchcraft and devil-worship as a fraud, with attention centered on a cult run by a Julian Karswell. Debarking his plane, Holden learns that the symposium leader, Henry Harrington, has suddenly died and he is now in charge. What only the audience knows is that Harrington was clearly killed by a demon, apparently summoned by Karswell to avenge his persecution. Despite both threatening and cajoling behavior by Karswell, Holden determines to proceed, though the only cult member willing to talk about his experiences is in a prison psychiatric ward, catatonic after allegedly killing yet another cult member. However, Harrington's niece, Joanna, believes, based on her uncle's notes, that Karswell may indeed have some satanic powers derived from an ancient tome in an obscure language which he has been able to translate, and attempts to warn the skeptic Holden. Karswell's mother also attempts to warn Holden off. However, the thing which begins to most get to Holden are the occasional, but mounting, sensory and mental disturbances he begins experiencing after an encounter with Karswell, and the discovery that, during this encounter, Karswell secretly slipped a slip of parchment with a curse in runic symbols on it into Holden's belongings, a parchment identical to one Harrington recorded having had passed to him in a similar manner shortly before his death... [N.B. Holden at no point stays at the Karswell estate].
极慢的叙事节奏，细腻的人物描写，Mahershala Ali精湛成熟的演出，虽然Swan Song走的不是软科幻人文的新路，但这路走得却格外稳健踏实。
世事往往并不如人意
虚伪邪恶，上帝圣母，宗教科学……
一面拿类型作诱饵，一面又高傲地与类型割席。不见方法，只见立场，属于被艺术殿堂的鄙视链框住了。
深入探讨太少了，流于表面。与其纠结主角难舍亲情爱情，不如探讨替身获得记忆后会如何发展。
从剧作到技法都比较陈旧，但观赏性还是足够。
当背景声音放完了，全程和B聊天。不过关键情节是看到了
生离死别也是一场自己对自己的战斗。Ali的演技令人折服，最后两个Cameron在阁楼里相遇的那一刻，2号的眼神太有戏了。
当本体克隆出副本，就是两个独立的存在。
我们是同一个人分饰的两个角色，新身会带着旧蜕的愿望爱着家人，尤其是孩子
真相并不重要，人情世故才是。
罗生门式的结构，同一个事件，不同角色的表述，则是不同的故事，内核倒是还挺女权的。值得推敲的是同一个事件，不同视角下的感受，达蒙视角下自己是一家之主，是妻子的庇护，但是在妻子的视角下，达蒙是个粗暴自负只重注面子不会关心的野蛮人，类似的对比，德莱弗的视角是深情浪漫的，女人的视角是粗鲁无礼的。我还以为会有什么扯谎，需要观众自行判断，没想到故事这么清晰，反倒失去了一些趣味
最后的决斗，冷兵相对，精彩到恍惚间自觉不能呼吸，屏息凝视，拍的真好啊。
观影盘点：雷老头的电影依旧是经典而优质的，但唯独没有像这个时代一样快节奏。中世纪的人们落后而愚蠢，但为了利益与贪婪所做的努力却和现代人一样充满算计。这算是2020票房最值得同情与遗憾的作品了。
最终，她发现真相对她毫无意义。好在，丈夫在拼杀关头还算争气。
虽然是六百多年前的事情，但被侵害的女性所遭受的各种痛苦和折磨仍然在现代上演。罗生门式的故事结构不会掩饰，反而更加衬托了两位男主的残忍、傲慢和虚伪。
硬科幻代表了无垠宇宙
那么可不可以多克隆几个人帮我去上班啊
相对男主演们，更值得琢磨的周围其他女性面对这件事，尤其在第三篇章里，给到的反应，尚的母亲，伯爵的妻子，国王的妻子，一切女性都在承担这场悲剧，以及墙外女人们的欢呼，那不仅仅是个人的荣耀，尽管这场胜利并非全然代表正义，现代戏里没觉得亚当司机好看，这里面确实很有魅力，
那些贵妇是怎样觉得男二是帅哥的？搞笑。据说这叫丑帅。好吧，英文应该没这个词。
