Audiences are now used to the body-changing settings in movies.
Whether it is a "body-taking" horror film such as "The Master Key" or "Get Out", or the use of mother-daughter and gender identity switching to create comedy effects in "Hot Mom" and "" , the setting of separation of soul and body seems ordinary, but it can always produce surprising effects.
Recently, Netflix released another R-rated "script-killing" movie, in which 4 men and 4 women play a soul swap game.
Let’s take a look today - "Unboxing Soul" .
The protagonists of the story are a young couple, Shelby and Cyrus.
The relationship between the two has been having some problems recently.
In order to keep love fresh, Shelby followed her boyfriend’s suggestion and put on a wig to play role-playing;
However, Cyrus was still very unsexy and even hid on the bed to watch a movie while she was in the bathroom.
The two had a big fight about this and finally calmed down.
went to the home of his friend Ruben for an appointment as good as before.
It turned out that Ruben was getting married soon and wanted to have a bachelor party before the wedding, so he invited his school friends to get together at his villa.
There were a total of 8 people in this party. In addition to the male and female protagonists and Ruben, there was also an Internet celebrity girl, a rich second generation, a tattooed girl, a red-haired girl, and a tech nerd.
As soon as old classmates met, they quickly started chatting about the past events in their student days when you had a crush on me and I dumped you. For example, the male protagonist once liked an internet celebrity, but failed to pursue her, so he and the female protagonist came together;
Ruben has a crush on the tattooed girl, and even if he is getting married, he will not forget to make secret glances at the tattooed girl;
The rich second generation and the internet celebrity girl used to be a couple, but the rich second generation cheated on the sister who is a tech geek, and they were very unhappy for a time .
After that, the tech geek was expelled from school for bringing his underage sister to a party, and her sister was admitted to a mental hospital... That was all 8 years ago.
So this time, when everyone saw the tech geek, they were very curious about his experience over the years.
The technology house said that he had entered a game company. As he spoke, he opened his suitcase and took out the new product developed by the company -
This machine,
, is said to be able to exchange souls.
As long as the wire is connected to the temple, the soul will be randomly transferred to the bodies of other connected people.
Although
sounds very mysterious, everyone tried it for one round and were stunned by the effect.
technology house said that the gameplay of this game is like the upgraded version of "Werewolf" . After the exchange, guess who is in whose body, and the person who is guessed is out.
As the operator, he knows the number of everyone’s line, so he does not participate in the game. However, in order to increase the number of people, they will still participate in the exchange.
In this way, everyone started the first round eagerly.
Because they are very familiar with each other, some people quickly revealed their secrets in the first round due to factors such as catchphrases and habitual actions.
Starting from the second round, everyone gradually entered the state and learned to hide.
The game officially begins...
It is not difficult to imagine that this skin-changing game will soon get out of control.
For example, in a certain round, the male protagonist discovered that everyone seemed to think that a tech nerd had entered the body of a rich second generation, but in fact it was himself, so whatever he did at this time would be considered to be done by the tech nerd.
So he took the opportunity to find an internet celebrity and wanted to do something with her without anyone noticing.
There is another round, and the heroine enters the body of an internet celebrity.
She opened her mobile phone to check the social accounts of internet celebrities, and experienced the feeling of being an internet celebrity. Even if she posts a selfie casually, there will be countless likes and comments from fans.
looked at the rising number of love hearts. For a moment, she felt that if the machine failed, it would be great if she could just steal the life of an internet celebrity.
She is not the only one, almost everyone is immersed in the experience of becoming someone else.
After the initial novelty passed, everyone realized that this game was like opening up a playground in the most private and dark corner of the human heart. You can unscrupulously satisfy your voyeuristic desires, play with strange bodies, and check other people's mobile phones; you can also wear someone else's skin to pursue your unspeakable desires. Anyway, no one knows it is you for the time being.
The scene became a mess without realizing it.
After the male protagonist and the female protagonist confronted each other's identities, they hid in a small dark room to make fire. The stimulation brought by changing skins actually solved their disharmony problem;
The rich second generation and the tattooed girl came to the rooftop balcony. Applause for love.
Unexpectedly, the balcony railings were in disrepair for a long time, and the two people on top of them suddenly fell down and died.
The accident came unexpectedly, and the remaining 6 people were dumbfounded.
Because the dead bodies belong to the rich second generation and the tattooed girl, but the souls inside are Ruben and the red-haired girl. No one expected that there would be such a risk in out-of-body experiences, that one's body would be played to death by others...
So next, should we get back to ourselves or is it wrong?
How to explain the two people who died after calling the police?
If we say that in the first half of the film, this party was still an ethical Shura venue, but after the death of the person, the plot took a turn for the worse and turned into a human arena - the six surviving people each had their own plans, and no one wanted to do this. Taking the blame, even resorting to violence.
But they will not think that the whole game is actually a well-planned revenge.
At the end of the film, the few people who had settled down met the sister Beatrice, who is a tech geek, but the other party claimed that she was a tech geek. It turns out that before the technology geek came to the villa, his sister took away the machine and exchanged his soul.
years ago, the reason why the underage Beatrice was sent to a mental hospital was because she was drunk by her brother, cheated on by a scumbag, and framed by everyone.
Now, Beatrice, through several rounds of skin changes in the game, has hacked away the property of the rich second generation, taken away the body of the Internet celebrity, completed the revenge plan, and escaped without a trace.
What’s interesting is that in this so-called “revenge”, Beatrice only brought the machine and did not lead anyone’s actions. She could not predict that someone would die in the process, let alone what would happen next. It can be said that everyone's choice leads to their own ending.
And among them, there is more than just a bad side.
For example, the heroine heard a lot of true words during the round of rotation. She realized that the hero had never loved her. In the past, he chose to be with her to make up for the loss of being rejected by the goddess, but now, too You can leave her for another woman at any time.
Perhaps she has always known this, but when things did not happen, she could think in a good direction to comfort herself.
However, the male protagonist hiding under the identity of others has completely let himself go.
It was this game that made the heroine make up her mind and stop deceiving herself.
At the end, you will find that almost every character got what they wanted, or what they deserved, some of which were retribution, and some of which were awakenings. Ironically, people often have to fully step into someone else's shoes to see how wrong something is happening to them. Audiences are now used to the body-changing settings in movies.
