Malik is expected to hit the marquee this year. Fahadh Faasil has also signed up for another new project. The film, which will be directed by Sajimon, will also have Joju George playing an important role.
Skip to main content. Here's where the climax scene of 'Trance' was shot. Flix Mollywood Friday, April 17, - When I wrote her, I saw her as this fancy socialite who is very superficial, a glorified pimp.
The Tripac came to her with a requirement for people like Viju with psychological issues and she just services that need. This idea of success is, of course, questionable.
Viju fills an auditorium with thousands of people, he makes money and fame. The price he pays for success is people like Thomas Vinayakan and what he does to them. And later when he meets Esther Nazriya and notices those slit marks on her wrist, he starts seeing his brother in her.
But the interview scene makes his character more complicated. He goes on to drug Mathews Soubin who exposes the Glorious Church. But before that, why does he change his own back story even though what actually happened to him was very similar? Even Avarachan is surprised at the way JC starts narrating. Also, all these faith healers talk about an epiphany. So he too makes up a story about seeing Jesus in a vision to prove that he was indeed the chosen one.
He is first an atheist. He then becomes a messenger of God, or a middleman. That scene is staged like the resurrection. JC awakens on the third day believing he is Jesus. One can come out of a coma anytime. It can take months or it may take just a few days. When JC wakes up on the third day, his disorder has reached a heightened state, especially after that blow. Trance is a film that uses several symbols. His initials too are JC and coincidentally he was 33 years old when he played that role.
People thought he was destined to play a part because of this. I used the fighter fish symbol because Viju is a fighter. But the thing with the fighter fish is that you cannot put two of them in one bowl.
They need to be kept in isolation like Viju. A mirror is also an element that can add more layers to a character, because a person is only truly himself in front of a mirror.
With a good actor, a mirror scene is like an inner voice. The glass cracking is the sound of the barrier between both of them breaking. Again, Viju meeting her in Amsterdam is not a hallucination. Drawing connections between Trance and a film like Joker is natural. I understand. It is a character in the New Testament who St. Paul rebuked because he was a false prophet.
A part of me wants to actually start with the theories and work backwards from there. Buckle Up. As I was thinking about this movie, Simon was the obvious solution that immediately seemed to make the most sense right away. It is a story about him, his double-cross, and about his swindling the swindlers!
So, of course, Simon is our beginning and end!! Pretty straight forward really. The movie was told out of order, so it was a little confusing. But most of the pieces were there in the movie. His attempt to get out of debt, and then his obsessive personality spun out of control. But that might not be the right way to look at this movie. See what I did there? I know clever, huh? Most of the previous theory is here, but with one enormous difference.
Similar to the woman and the red car and Elizabeth, there was all kinds of transference occurring. And Simon? He was actually Franck the entire time. There are more than one sections of the movie when we see this struggle between Franck and Simon internally play out physically. Their struggle for dominance with Elizabeth. And their cat and mouse games with the location of the painting. And that all of this is playing out via hypnotism makes it all the more realistic and plausible. But the ending actually makes more sense in this theory.
Why is Elizabeth hiding from Franck with the painting. Why is she goading him with it? Why does she offer Franck the opportunity to forget as well? Well, it is because Franck and Simon were exactly the same person. And Elizabeth knows that the obsessive qualities of Simon are also there in Franck. That she is still in danger from him, just as she was from Simon.
And the piece de resistance? Not because it is so revolutionary or mind altering. But because there are two different possibilities in this theory that encapsulate the previous two.
So, to explain. The question here is simple. Do you believe that Elizabeth was actually the one in control of everyone from beginning to end? She is obviously the one with the power among the group. She is the one that wants the painting. She is the one that makes the robbery happen, enlists Simon and Franck from the beginning.
She is the one that ends up with the painting and with the outcome she desired from day one. Anyway, just like that, you have 4 different ways of looking at this movie. But I think that goes too far. Every single time I get a chance to talk about art while talking about a movie, oh baby, I take it.
The Rijkmuseum is totally one of my favorite haunts on the planet. I literally wrote 7 paragraphs just talking about the theological and cinematographic implications of this painting kicking the movie off. Replete with Greek exegetical digressions. But I read back through it, and it was too far afield even for me.
You are welcome. So yeah, to start off with a Rembrandt discussion was the epitome of exhilarating.
