      Weird titles, weird movies

      Seeing the Chinese translation of this movie, as a Chinese, you will not understand the content of the movie from the title, even after you watch it.
      This is a detective movie that combines racial antagonism, perverted series of murderers, alcoholic police, lawless entertainment stars, and ghosts that appear from time to time. The screenwriter and director can put such complicated content into a 90-minute movie, which is indeed quite Yes, but also let the audience do a mental gymnastics....

      The plot turns out to be like this

      The whole movie is the layout of the case in the case, an old case 40 years ago, or a crime from the children’s time, is now being tortured. The other is the current serial killer. The two cases proceed alternately, unfolding the whole plot.

      In fact, the murder is just the coat of the film, and its core is still the blood of the literary film. It even uses magical expressions to highlight the protagonist's inner ups and downs. For example, David went back to the American Civil War...

      Judging from the movie, the original seems to be a very typical European and American crime novel style, and the movie is also faithfully restored. However, the story itself is rather messy, the progress of the case is not gradual, and there is a lack of connection between the clues. The style is okay, but the story isn't...

      A literary film in the guise of a suspense film, with 2007 as the background, telling the story. I have always liked this kind of taste, I have always liked slow narration, and I have always liked those films that truly restore American life. It also reminded me of the days when I was in Texas in the summer of 2007: rough fields, fragrant American coffee, huge shopping The mall, the sunset by the...

    Background creation

    Because the original novel of the film was written a bit early, if the film is completely based on the era of the novel, certain things that the director Bertrand Tavernier wants to express cannot be reflected in the film. So the final result of the director and the screenwriter is to let the film The time when the story happened has become more modern. The film postponed the time and background of the story from the 1990s to after the...

    Evaluation action

    The film photography style obviously brings Bertrand Tavernier's characteristics of police portrayal, social issues and filmmaking, but the whole film still lacks enough excitement. The director tried to condense the possible broader themes of the movie. It seems that it is only a police investigation case, with most of the elements of police handling cases, as well as serial killers. In addition, this film also shows an invisible...

    Movie quotes

    • Dave Robicheaux: How would you define the idea of understanding?

      Bootsie Robicheaux: Well it's knowing something, and knowing what it means.

      Dave Robicheaux: I think there's two ways of looking at the idea of understanding. One is if you don't look you never will see. And the other is, if you look a little less you'll understand a hell of a lot more.

      Bootsie Robicheaux: You might not be over those drugs they put in your drink.

    • Alafair Robicheaux: [last lines - pausing on Civil War photograph] Dave?

    • General John Bell Hood: Venal and evil men are destroying the world you were born in. It's us against them my good friend. Don't compromise your principles or abandon your cause.
