The talented hero Jake Gyllenhaal plays a dual role. He is Adam, history professor and Anthony the rising actor. He represents two semi-identical characters for us, but in reality there is a very big difference between them and this is what we will know in the course of the movie.
Where Adam will discover that he has another hidden side of the character where he will develop insanity, how does this happen and tries to justify to himself whether he became a sane person or did madness hit him, did he suffer from schizophrenia ?!
In films that play the psychological side of the problem, it gives us a deeper idea, more than the performance or the cinematic effects, if it represents the internal conflict within each of us.
The story
Adam begins, as we mentioned, with the knowledge that he is obsessed, which will cause him great psychological trauma, and begins to search for answers to the questions he poses to himself all the time so that the horror began to dominate him, as we will see in this story a tour inside the human mind.
Adam remains in his depressing psychological life day and night dreaming of spiders and strange things, but events changed a lot when one of Adam's friends offered him to watch one of the films on television and after great attempts and he refused from Adam that he does not watch TV and he agreed and opened the movie to be watched but the surprise was present before our eyes and shock In front of Adam, where he will discover that he is inside the film, but he is Anthony.
Adam tries to discover the truth by meeting Anthony to discover what is happening around him where he is almost crazy.
Until his twin Anthony arrives, and here the excitement and fun begins, where we will discover that they are not enemies at first until the collision between them and reached its climax, and Adam goes to his mother to ask her whether he has a twin brother or what ?!
The twin brothers are forced to coexist with each other in the end, even in some shots they will deceive their wives, but it appears that the ring exposes Anthony in this matter.
The film is full of exciting and wonderful events that I do not want to spoil on you, but you must watch this movie as you will really enjoy it
Photography
The film did not contain many scenes that required photography proficiency, but it may have been the stability of the camera that dominates the atmosphere of this mysterious psychological movie.
In addition to the many audio and visual effects that Villeneuve added with his steadfast, steadfast and fearful shots, he played a role in creating terror in our hearts.
We also had a melody that could not be described by the wonderful words of Bernard Herrmann, as he added more strange things to us.
An impression of the movie
Perhaps not all of the answers that you will ask within the movie will get you and you will not get specific answers, but you will be closer to those looking for a specific needle in a pile of needles.
Where the film will be full of events to make you forget your questions and ask new questions and forget them until you are satisfied with the fait accompli such as Adam and Anthony and stop asking.
Although we have knowledge of the extent of technology development currently in the field of optics and photography in the field of films, which allows the actor to play two roles at the same time, we can watch Jalenhall’s conflict with both characters as the two roles will play brilliantly as if two completely different people will make us live with each character differently Very although we are seeing the same actor.
If we see the movie and see, can a person in Adam's place benefit from such devastation?
