2. The timing of the plot has been twisted that I think it is open
to interpretation as to what events occur first. The following
is simply an objective, point-by-point plot analysis. I will sum
up what my take is on the plot afterwards

4. My subjective plot analysis
First scene opens on a man talking on a telephone in a hotel room. He
is engaged in a conversation and speaking in a threatening manner. We
cannot hear the other end of the conversation. He is sharing the room with
a woman who helps him get dressed in a suit as he speaks on the phone.
The conversation ends and the man sets out on his mission and enters his
car. The other end of the conversation is made audible to the audience
now and it’s revealed that the man was actually speaking to a winab. The
conversation re-lived in the man’s memory as he drives off in his car. It
appears that the voice behind the other end of the phone was the woman
who was helping him get dressed in the hotel room. She puts on a large
coat over her naked body and sprays perfume on herself. A number of
flashbacks are shown and it is then the man realizes that it was her all along.
The set changes to the backdrop of the Eiffel tower in Paris. The woman
was waiting for his arrival. They acknowledge each other’s presence from a
distance. It is sunrise and they are alone in the plaza wondering if the other
is their mysterious rendez vous partner.

5. SOPHISTICATION
Subtopics: elegance
suave
mysterious
deception
Every subtopic can essentially be
summed up into ONE key personality
that Dior is trying capture with its brand:

6. A sophistcated man is one of elegance who can attain
balance between opposites so that he can experience the
best of both worlds

7. A sophistcated man is oneiswho canelegance who can attainopposite
A sophistcated man one of attain balance between
balance so that he opposites so that hebest of both worlds
between can experience the can experience the
best of both worlds
First, let’s speak on SOPHISTICATION:
- Dior expects SOPHISTICATION from their target audience, thus the plot is not straightforward
- Audience is kept interested by always questioning what is going on: who is he talking to?, is he
cheating on her?, is that the same woman? etc
- Hints are left throughout the film though so that the audience is not left in the dark entirely:
1) “What, 2 of ya?” as he stares at the woman suggesting that there is actually two of HER
2) Before “ooooooo”, woman who is dressing him looks at him in a suggestive stare indicating her
possible involvment in the conversation taking place on the phone.

balance between opposites so that he can experience the
best of both worlds
PARIS: - known for it’s refined taste in fashion, food
and lifestyle
- backdrop of Eiffel Tower: classic beauty
ATTIRE: - Timeless pieces:
black suit/black tie
black coat/hat
CAR: - 1960 Mercedes SL: a symbol
of lux and class

9. A sophistcated man isis one of elegance who can between opposites
A sophistcated man one who can attain balance attain
balance between experience the best of both worlds
so that he can opposites so that he can experience
the best of both worlds
Dior allows you to be a refined gentleman in control but at the same time pride will not cloud your
judgment. From the start to finish of the film, the male character transforms from a dangerous man in
control to a man who simply is waiting to be taken control of.
For a segment, the male character comes to realization that the mysterious individual is the woman
he’s been with all along. The expressions he shows are almost humbling and modest. Like, he’s been
duped but he’s going to continue to have fun with the situation.

10. A sophistcated man isis one of elegance who can between opposites
A sophistcated man one who can attain balance attain
balance between experience the best of both worlds
so that he can opposites so that he can experience
the best of both worlds
You can get the best of both worlds:
“Theres 2 of us, me and naughty me”
Dior allows one to have a compliant woman AND
one who defies expectations to give you some sense
of excitement
On the surface, it seems misogynistic and sexist
because the woman is so subservient to him by
dressing him, holding his phone, putting his shoes on
etc. But if we pay close attention, at the end she is
the one who wins him over and lures him to her.
