作家郁芬文思枯竭,立中寄望升職能改變家庭現況,夫妻倆陷入婚姻僵局。到處打惡作劇電話的少女,卻成為郁芬得獎小說的題材;立中眼看妻子離家、自己升遷落空,積鬱不滿的他有如城市裡的​瓦斯槽,即將爆炸。楊德昌以精密的影像部署,建構出多向度的時空情境,描繪現代人孤寂、虛妄與暴力的心靈圖景;蔓生的情節,衍生多重寓意,為電影的敘事帶來解放。

 

「《恐怖份子》最有趣的是王安打電話跟人開玩笑的經驗。既然從這裡下刀的話,一定要有對夫妻,王安有個媽媽⋯⋯這是很邏輯性的推展,所以說像是益智遊戲。我後來覺得這些人最好全都不要有關係,全是社會裡不可能發生關係的人⋯⋯這幾條線交錯之後,人物原來的生活狀況全部改變了。一開始的創作動機是這個,所以最後結局其實是證明題的結束。」——楊德昌

 

The marriage of Yu-feng and Li-zhong has reached a stalemate. Yu-feng, a writer, faces a creative block, while Li-zhong pins hope on a promotion. A teenage girl's prank calls become the subject of Yu-feng's award-winning novel. As their lives unravel, frustration builds like a gas tank on the verge of explosion. The film constructs multidimensional contexts through precise audiovisual deployment, depicting loneliness, deceit, and violence in modern society. The proliferating plot generates multiple meanings and liberates the freedom of film narration."

 

"The most exciting aspect of Terrorizers is Wang An's real-life experience of making prank calls. Since the story revolves around this, there must be a married couple and a mother. This is a logical development, like a puzzle game. However, I later decided that the characters should be unrelated. After the intertwining of storylines, their lives are completely transformed. This was the initial creative motivation, so in the end, the film is a resolution of this premise." —Edward Yang
