to the nearest phone. This is a routine work-related announcement: Dr. Ohmura, the pot-boiled noodle you ordered is here. Please eat it before it gets cold. The same, familiar studio. The same sight. And the same faces. Yet, something was different. This is a routine work-related announcement: After 2:00 p. M... ...the central elevator may be used for the transportation of dead bodies only. The situation couldn't have been any worse. The work continued to stagnate. The staff members were dropping off because of the mysterious serial killer. And, hiding something important... ...Tamiko, my assistant, was probably keeping a watch over me. And, it's possible... ...because of his obsession with the production... ...Handawara came back as a zombie. With those two as my team, I had to complete the unidentifiable movie. You pushed the plot forward this time. It'll be hard putting them together. There's no such thing in a movie as a cut that can't be connected. As long as you have this. Unlooked-for intruders and unexpected cuts. With the ability to swallow them all, a movie can be an incomplete system. What's important isn't a narrative consistency between cuts... ...that are connected together. It's what sort of relationship you can discover between the cuts. Isn't that so? Shall we start? An unfinished movie left behind by a director who disappeared. A series of murders takes place following the disappearance. By identifying the murderer and presenting his motives... ...all the mysteries are solved. I put them together based on that pedestrian plot for a start. I don't know about that. We've been freewheeling wildly until now. An ordinary ending is impossible, I should think. Hey, don't tell me you're going to start using deconstruction... ...and metafiction and all that postmodern stuff. Sorry, but that seems to be the case. Think about it. What was the proposition given to the now-dead crew by my predecessor? "An absent character." A movie that is the story. A game for which you make rules as you go along. Yes, something does stink pretty badly. L-I took this job 'cause I heard it was an entertaining film. But the very person who set up this whole thing is absent. Give it up and redo it. First of all, is this really a serial killer case? We can start from there. We have to go back that far? Look behind you. A man who died once is still taking a part in the story as a zombie. How can you be sure that other guys aren't behind my back... ...having midnight tea parties? Perhaps with Kobayashi here? A death of a character in a movie... ...is nothing more than an agreement made for the story. It could be breached at any time. Disguise, proxy, illusion. If one wants to, it's possible to play hardball and bring him back as a cyborg. As long as things are progressing outside the boundary of realism... ...it's dangerous to set absolutes on past developments as fixed facts. Oh, boy. Hello, cutting room. Yes. Yes, thank you. Tahara and Handa are on the way here to pick up the rushes. Should we take a coffee break? The rich aroma that forcibly interrupts the story. The deep taste that makes even a zombie's eyes pop out. When you are tired of a confused story. For you, who know the difference, try Dog Blend. What ajoke. Human beings being bossed around by a zombie like that. We can't let that creep work as the chief of this movie! I'll show them. Soon, I will, by my own hands... I mean, if you think of the seniority list, the next chief is, you know... Oh, but I'm not... I'm not... I'm not... When the day that I become the chief dawns... ...I will first throw out thatjerk of a migrant tech director. Hey, the light! On March 14, 1932, an American, George Eastman, acknowledged his wishes... ...about the disposal of his property in the presence of his lawyer. Shortly after the lawyer left, he shot himself to death. ------------------------------ Читайте также: - текст Лисы на английском - текст На лоне природы на английском - текст Маппеты из космоса на английском - текст Суинни Тодд, маньяк-парикмахер с Флит Стрит на английском - текст Вор на английском |
