A more reasonable explanation for the ending

When the protagonist said that sentence: "tell her I hope her neck is OK", I smiled knowingly.

I've already guessed it could be this ending - the suspect has no dual personality, the lawyers get ripped off, and everyone gets ripped off.

But there is another possibility when you think about it - the suspect does have a dual personality, and the violent personality is more and more predominant. At the end of the film, the violent personality of the suspect Roy appears, and he is fully capable of imitating the repressed personality Aron.

So what is the ending? The director did not give an answer. But as a viewer, I wanted to give myself a single ending, and as it happened, I noticed a detail that could help me make this judgment—the pornographic tape—there was this conversation in court: the prosecution lawyer asked the prosecution lawyer’s The detective "As you can see, does the defendant like to act with his girlfriend?", the answer is "No".

Just because of this "No", I judge that the real existence of dual personalities is a more reasonable explanation.

    I like to watch court scenes very much. Several court scenes in this film are very exciting, and the final reversal is good; Norton’s performance should be complimented by the small eyes that constantly switch between evil and innocence~

    The dance of good and evil. The most handsome old man Richard Gere + dashing Edward Norton.

Primal Fear quotes

  • [Marty is trying to woo Janet again, kissing the back of her neck and humming as she smokes a cigarette at the bar in the party for the Archbishop]

    Martin Vail: Come on... all you have to do is turn around.

    Janet Venable: I thought you liked it better like this. That way you don't have to look at the person.

    Martin Vail: You're mean.

    [ingratiatingly]

    Martin Vail: Look at me.

    [She turns to face him. He is grinning seductively]

    Martin Vail: Come on. Let's go find a bar you can still smoke in.

    Janet Venable: Thanks for the invite, but I don't like one-night stands all that much.

    Martin Vail: We saw each other for months.

    Janet Venable: It was a one-night stand, Marty. It just lasted six months.

  • Martin Vail: [in a private room inside the district attorney's office] Mr. Pinero has never been convicted of anything. Cops jumped him, he was left bleeding in the snow. It's a miracle he survived. Having said that, I am not opposed to a settlement.

    John Shaughnessy: A million-five and Pinero leaves the state.

    Martin Vail: You can't limit a citizen's right to live wherever he wants to. Legally, that's unenforceable.

    John Shaughnessy: Whether or not it's enforceable or just a gentleman's agreement, Mr. Pinero will know what we want.
