Introduction :

Terry (Julianne Moore) has a happy family, obedient and lovely children, and a considerate and gentle husband. Everything is so perfect. Whenever she was free, she would go to the park with her eight-year-old son Sam every day until Sam died in a plane crash 14 months ago. Terri's life suddenly fell into pieces. She could not extricate herself from the grief, and her relationship with her husband Jim also gradually became estranged.

One morning, Terri, who was still in pain, woke up, only to find that her son was missing from the family photo placed beside her bed. Shocked, she looked through all the photo albums, but there was no photo of the child. Terri began to blame her husband, thinking that he had destroyed all the photos of her son. The strange thing is that her husband asked her when she had a child with a puzzled look!

She turned to her old psychiatrist, but was told that her son did not exist at all, and all the memories related to the child in the past eight years were just her own imagination! Unable to believe it, Terry began to search everywhere for evidence of her son's existence, but found nothing. Just when she almost couldn't help but give up, she met a man who had gone through a similar experience to hers. The careful Terry finally discovered the clues this time. However, the conspiracy has just begun...

◆Indian Asan ushered in a new era of terror◆

In 1999, Indian Asanette Shyamalan launched a "The Sixth Sense" , with its twists and turns and bizarre plot and unexpected ending, knocked on the rock-solid door of Hollywood. Since then, psychological horror films have been very popular in Hollywood, and they have also produced a lot of imitated films. Two years later, Spanish director Alejandro Amamba filmed "Island". Back then, Shyamalan was just a child psychiatrist played by Bruce Willis. At the end, he was shocked to reveal that he had passed away and played a "ghost in love" trick; but Amamba carried forward his glorious tradition and Directly directed a "ghosts scare" big step, which instantly became the top masterpiece of this wave of psychological horror. So what ace will the Julianne Moore-led "Paranormal Encyclopedia" play? It is said that they are going to turn the suspense into science fiction, to rival "The Island" and to kill "The Sixth Sense".

◆Story: Eight years of fictional memories◆

In a serious plane crash, Terri Peretta (played by Julianne Moore) unfortunately lost her 8-year-old daughter. Year-old son, her longing for her son made her mentally more and more fragile, and she became more and more estranged from her husband Jim (Anthony Edwards). The originally healthy and happy family relationship collapsed instantly. What's even more bizarre is that all signs of his son's existence in the home - family photos, daily necessities, everything - have also disappeared. No matter how frantically she searched, she couldn't get any information about her son.

She had to seek help from psychiatrist Munnes (Gary Sinise), but was told that her son was just her hallucination, and she had made up memories of this hallucination for eight years. Terri left in doubt until she met Ash (Dominic West) who had the same experience. He also recently lost his daughter, so the two painful people decided to work together to prove the existence of the child... /p>

◆Inspiration: Make up a script even in your dreams◆

Who would have thought that the inspiration for the story of "Puzzle" came from Gerald DiPage's nightmare? What happened that night was as follows: In Gerald's dream, a standard family of three appeared - mother, father and son. The image of the son suddenly slowly faded and eventually disappeared. Gerald woke up with a start and looked at the clock. It was already 6:30 in the morning. Still reeling from the nightmare, he began to formulate this story. Two hours later, he woke his wife and told her, "I have a story." After completing the script, Gerald handed it over to his agent, who thought Revolutionary Productions (the company that had filmed "Black Lives Matter" "Eagle Down", "XXX", "Hannibal", "Mona Lisa Smile", "Hellboy", etc.) Joe Ross, the big boss, will be interested. In less than a day, Ross decided to buy the script and contacted director Joseph Reuben.

◆Brief review: Psychological suspense becomes horror science fiction◆

Producer Bruce Cohan once revealed to the media that they made many changes to the script, but in the end they followed the script of the screenwriter Jack Larder's original manuscript. The most attractive thing about the movie based on this is that it starts out like a psychological suspense drama, surrounding a mother who seems to be suffering from schizophrenia. She invented her children and the world around her. However, as the story As it progresses, the plot becomes more and more bizarre and twists, and eventually evolves into a science fiction thriller. This is a movie with a similar style to "Little Island". It is also the highlight of the movie in September this year. It focuses on stars such as Julianne Moore and Gary Sinise. The story combines horror, thriller, suspense, science fiction and many other elements. It is also the movie with the most bizarre twists and turns and the most unexpected ending after "The Sixth Sense".

◆Director: I have liked this genre for a long time◆

When Joe Roth was still working at 20th Century Fox Film Company, Joseph Reuben once directed Big Mouth for him "Sleeping with the Enemy" starring Julia Roberts. In addition to "Sleeping with the Enemy," Ruben has also directed the thrillers "The Good Son" and "True Believer," and this film is undoubtedly his favorite genre.

The emotions contained in "Supernatural Jigsaw" immediately moved Ruben deeply. He felt that a mother's struggle to miss her child, which is the most instinctive emotion of human beings, will definitely arouse the audience's attention. The *** rings. Unlike other genres, good suspense films will firmly capture the audience's curiosity and attract their attention to every detail in the story. The beginning of "Puzzle" is very exciting, because no one knows whether the grieving mother has a son or whether she suffers from schizophrenia. These two questions cause her to live in a nightmare, but we don’t know if this nightmare is her hallucination or reality. Reuben may be the best person to bring this story to the big screen. He works very hard and will try to dig out the inner essence of the story so that the actors' performances will not remain on the surface. He is also a funny director with a self-deprecating sense of humor. Everyone on the set trusted his judgment and loved working with him. Many behind-the-scenes staff have worked with him for many years. For example, the production designer has worked with him on six or seven movies, and the script director has also worked with him on three or four movies. In short, he is the kind of person who will do his best to contribute.

◆Actors: Everyone is responsible for horror◆

①Julianne: Nervous mother. For everyone, Terry’s situation is a nightmare: one day you wake up and find People around you tell you that everything you have experienced in the past does not exist. The feeling of "I am drunk alone when everyone is awake" is probably unbearable to anyone. Therefore, Terry is a very demanding role for actors. She must not only ensure that the character looks schizophrenic, but also must be able to arouse the audience's cries and sympathy. "Boogie Nights," "Magnolia," "The Shipping News," "Novel," and "Far From Heaven" prove that Julianne Moore is a star with outstanding acting skills, and as a mother of two, you can still watch in this film I experience a special motherhood that is rare among other actresses.

② West: The alcoholic hero In order to prove that his memory is not false, Terry found a like-minded partner Ash. Dominic West, who plays Ash, was born in England. This promising actor has had a meteoric rise in career over the past few years. Director Reuben still remembers that he performed a wonderful scene in the classic Broadway comedy "Love Is Lost", and then appeared in the HBO TV series "The Wire". In recent years, he starred with Roberts in "Mona Lisa Smile" CUHK plays a rival role. West is accustomed to playing bad lovers. In this film, he was also an alcoholic at the beginning. Later, the development of the story helped him become a hero. So this role means a lot to him, and maybe he can "change his mind" in the future.

③Sinnis: The introspective doctor was nominated for an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his role as Captain Taylor in "Forrest Gump", and has also appeared in "Apollo 13", "Snake Eyes", " The Green Mile" and "The Human Stain." Dr. Munns in "Puzzle" is very different from his previous roles. He usually plays introverted and aggressive characters. Munns is a very thoughtful doctor, and he is also an introspective person. Character type, he also enhances the unpredictability of the film's story. In Gary Sinise's mind, a good psychological suspense drama will attract a lot of people because you don't know who to believe and what will happen next, unless you wait until the end of the film.

◆Location: Battle of Heaven and Earth in New York◆

Due to financial reasons, many movies are now shot in Canada, Australia or even North Carolina, but "Supernatural Jigsaw" was shot there. The location was set in New York, and multiple locations in Manhattan and Brooklyn were carefully selected for filming. The city of New York inevitably played an invisible role in this film. The director and the production company also requested that the film have a gloomy atmosphere. New York at the end of October was a period of volatile climate, so unpredictable local weather changes became the biggest problem during filming. In addition, the director also stipulated many principles for the picture and color of the film. He and the director of photography were almost never away from the camera. They used long lenses to express the feeling of delusion and voyeurism, and used wide-angle lenses to show the distortion of the world; except for Julianne Moore's hair, Not even a hint of red is visible in the movie.
