      High profile just to cover up



      When the ending came to the surface , I felt that all the foreshadowing before was not indebted.

      The doubt left by the director is his revelation of the truth: the different expressions of the murderer on the letter K, the handwriting on the poster K, the mysterious call, the incompatibility of the DNA, etc. all tell us another truth.

      A person who stands up to admit all murders is full of flaws, and these flaws are his umbrella at the same time, because the...

      the silent majority

      "There is more than one way to lose your life to a killer"
      was originally Nolan's favorite director. He imagined that Bo Yun was cunning, rational and rigorous, geek and clever from time to time, arrogant and brainy but never made mistakes. Unlike Nolan, David Fincher's films always have flaws, big and small. From the jumping off of The Social Network to the slow pace of Gone Girl, he's never been able to shut up his critics 100%, but I like him more and more. Nolan's emotions, no matter...

      temporary

      After watching it, I think it's more scary than watching a horror movie. Maybe it's because the murderer must not be caught, or the basement is too scary?
      There may be two or more murderers, and the projectionist is very suspected of being an accomplice. If he is not familiar with it, how dare Li put things (the video of the murder process) with him for safekeeping. Moreover, people will be curious, why not open it?
           100 ballistics, fingerprints, handwriting do not meet. After so...

      end without end

      This is the first film I've seen that's a big Finch? Let me count: Alien, The Seven Deadly Sins, Fight Club, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
             In fact, Zodiac Killer is not a movie that I specifically came to watch. I will watch it because of the recommendation of my classmates.
             The plain picture is full of texture, and the sense of the old picture in the 1970s won my heart. When the subtitles popped up David Fincher, he couldn't help nodding secretly, and it was...

      I don't know why, but I love this movie so much! ! ! The atmosphere is very well rendered... The cold, wet and dark environment sets off very well~~~ I like Robert's persistence. . . I love it very much... Robert Downey Jr.'s voice is very gentle~~~ I watched it twice. I'll watch it again when I have the chance. I can watch this movie over and over again, and I don't know why. Because of the...

      This suspense has been hanging to the end, your sister. . . Too tangled. . . Mr. ZODAIC is awesome. ....

      I don't know if the obsession of the protagonist's absolute paranoia is worth it... In addition, I feel that Downey is limited to this kind of ruffian, but everyone loves it, so after reading it, I know that this is an unsolved case (-'`-; )... A happy and complete ending really only exists in novels... It is 2 hours and 43 minutes that must be complained... Definitely one of the longest movies I have ever watched.... (The point is all...

      When I watched it for the first time, I didn't stick to it for about an hour. After watching it this time, I found out that David Fincher is such a peculiar existence in Hollywood. The play doesn't use any Hollywood structure, it's...

    Evaluation action

    This film, which is positioned as a thriller by most mainstream media, is quite different from the traditional detective film: it is an inconclusive detective film. In the film, the two detectives who were directly involved in the incident and the two investigative reporters of the "New York Times", since they walked into the incident and became obsessed with it, they determined that they would have a good relationship with their...
