      Murder of self

      The first CC pirated jacket DVD I bought in high school made me admire this brand and the director of the film with admiration.

      This is a work that tries to present the absurd world of existentialism with daily investigations. All the symbolic plots serve this theme. The protagonist and the criminal he tries to catch share the same loneliness, and the outside is full of hostility. In this world, self-personality is constantly being eroded by a powerful collective personality, life...

      FIFF11丨DAY7 "Murder Puzzle": It's just that he has never really seen himself

      The 11th #法罗岛电影节# The 7th screening day of the Nobody Known Unit will bring you "Murder Jigsaw". Here is the evaluation of the frontline black detective's self-identity!

      A peaceful crime film, without dazzling skills or surprises, a classic form of film noir.

      outsider

      In the elevator of the police station, Bob said to his partner Tim: I think there is a big conspiracy behind this case. However, the film tells the audience at the last minute: the so-called weirdness and conspiracy are nothing but the "real" self-identity that Bob has revived due to a series of coincidences, and the absurd misunderstandings that result from it.
      It is undoubtedly a black ending. Looking back, this well-made but dull suspense crime film is indeed worthy of being discovered...

      Shit

      Recently I watched an offending movie. The movie's name has a big gimmick. I thought I could enjoy a suspenseful journey of one hour and forty minutes, but I didn't expect to get home.
          The director of the film wanted to bring suspense, tension, and emotion to the film, but the result was always soft and nothing, except for the very good music.
          If you make him a psychological film, you want to make people feel a little shocked in the end, then it will be even more shit. I have...

      Evil face

      There are countless people in this world. They have different skin colors, different countries, and different nationalities. If you ask a question, will there be higher creatures that kill each other from birth? The answer is yes, and that is human beings. I don't know when, race has become a big problem. In the West, race is like a brand, which cannot be erased or fall off in people's hearts anyway.
      At the beginning of the story of the film, it created a mystery to us, a mystery about...

      Good film. In the life of occupying all my thinking space with messy and busy work, a few seemingly set opportunities have triggered the search for spiritual destination, identity, and home, but in the end, I find that I am meaningless wishful thinking, but lose it because of this. It is something that can be sued and maintained. Spiritual existence is...

      Just borrowed this one to look at it, and it was actually pretty good, and the ending was unexpected. Racism, Zionism, and finally found out that the clue is just pigeon fodder, think too much? People who don't...

      4.1 CC cover is always meaningful! This is a movie that you don't know until the end. About cause and effect, about finding yourself, about redemption? whether the word fits. ....

    Movie plot

    The murder team police officer Bob (Joe Mantegna) and his partner Sullivan took over the mess of the FBI's rough handling of the case and were ordered to search for the black suspect Sims. On the way they drove to investigate, they encountered a pair of new police officers who were trapped in a homicide in a grocery store. Bob offered assistance, but was assigned by the local sheriff to take charge of the case. Bob had to violate the...

    Evaluation action

    "Homicide" uses two cases as clues and tells a slightly black "detective" story based on the personal experience of the protagonist Bob. In terms of appreciation in the 90s, "Homicide" is undoubtedly a work that cannot keep up with the "trend". There are no handsome men and beautiful women, no dazzling stunts, and even the usual gunfight scenes for ordinary police movies. However, "Homicide" does not lack such elements to appear dull...
