堪萨斯州(霍珀饰)是一位特技协调员，精选负责在秘鲁一个小村庄拍摄西部影片中的马匹。在一个演员在特技表演中丧生的场景中发生了一场悲剧之后，精选堪萨斯州决定退出电影行业，与一名当地妇女留在秘鲁。堪萨斯人认为他已经找到了天堂，但很快就被召来帮忙处理一件奇怪的事情:秘鲁原住民用木棍做的“摄像机”“拍摄”他们自己的电影，并表演真实的西方电影暴力，因为他们不懂电影造假。这部电影触及了虚构与现实的对立，尤其是在电影方面。这部电影以一种挑战观众传统电影叙事理解的方式呈现，以非时间顺序的方式呈现故事，包括一些通常只在电影制作场景后才能看到的设备(粗略的编辑和“场景缺失”卡片)，以及使用刺耳的跳跃剪辑。

回复 :《魅影》被誉为茂瑙转捩时期的重要作品，曾一度被列作使人引为憾事的散佚经典。背景是民风淳朴的小市镇，主角偶见乘马车飞驰而过的艳女，惊为天人，神魂颠倒，自此他沉溺在幻想之中，不能自拔，沦落到底。茂瑙在营造气氛方面有不凡的成绩，小镇风貌活灵活现，穷苦一俗的狭隘与贵族的谄媚成强烈对比；在片场运用了巨型的机械设计，造就地面上会追吁主角走的「魔鬼式」黑影，几场天马行空的梦幻场面，使人拍案叫绝。

回复 :Adult brothers Mark and Colin Pollock still live with their parents Frank and Mavis Pollock in a small apartment in the projects of London's east end in what is a collective depressed and unhappy existence. The three men of the household are all on the dole, each doing little to find gainful employment. Between the brothers, Mark is the smart aleck, who calls his parents by their given names to irk them, and who hangs out with a bunch of hooligans as he refers to himself and his friends, such as a skinhead named Coxy. Although never medically diagnosed as such, Colin is seemingly emotionally slow. Colin likes to hang out with Mark and his friends in his want to be accepted, especially as Mark tells him that a neighborhood girl named Hayley is interested him. The family rarely socializes with Mavis' sister and brother-in-law, Barbara and John, who live a middle to upper middle class and seemingly perfect existence in the suburbs of Chigwell. Although not telling them to their face, John dislikes his relations by marriage, believing especially Mark to be brash and trashy. A unilateral act by Barbara leads to many issues within the extended family coming to the surface, most specifically the true happiness of the marriage between Barbara and John, and what Colin is truly looking for to be happy in life.
