When the film was 1 hour and 55 minutes old, I gave it four stars in my heart. The narrative and structural factors that I prefer are all in place, calm and sophisticated, and atmospheric. The only regret is that it lacks a little bit of it. A more unexpected ending than "Four Shots", however, just in the last five minutes of the whole film, a beautiful flip, a gorgeous surprise appeared, and the film came to a successful conclusion.
Happy families are all the same, every unhappy family is unhappy in its own way.
This saying has long been held true by us, but on a large scale, the world still has rules to follow, if you try to sit down and think about it A movie: A beautiful woman is raped and murdered in her own home, and then what? The motivation is nothing more than love, sex, wealth, hatred, or random incidents of perverts with no reason.

The references in the film became more and more intense, and gradually differentiated into different genres such as tribute and parody. A filmmaker like Modova has gradually evolved into a carnival for fans, but it definitely contains a last resort for breaking through.
"Mysterious Eyes" is a story rooted in such a trigger point that is not new, and it is also the different reactions of each person. The clues are not complicated, but the whole looks very thick, and the branches on each line Branches and branches are reserved foreshadowings, and they are suddenly mentioned in front at the right moment, becoming the natural thrust of the turning point of the main line, making this old story smooth and rich.
The male protagonist is a retired prosecutor. A rape and murder case he handled many years ago made him unforgettable. Out of anxiety about not knowing the truth, he wanted to write a book to record the incident in his later years. The story unfolds from here. And gradually brought out a staggered love, and the hesitant offense and defense between them. The difference is that this film has a sneaky protagonist who has been deliberately hidden all the time. Only at the end, when you see the truth, can you find out that the seemingly small amount of ink is actually written vigorously, making this The unexpected ending seems plausible and unobtrusive.
Judicial darkness is an extraordinary means of turning illegal into legal, so in the end, the protagonists also adopted extraordinary means to end the matter, one persevered, the other turned a blind eye, so this extraordinary ending, we collectively acquiesce.
