fear of the unknown

Honestly, it's a pretty entertaining movie. When the male protagonist looks at you tenderly with small smiling eyes, and ends with a wink of "Needless to say, I understand, you understand too", the electric current can make people jolt beautifully. The heroine is the one from "If There Is Tomorrow The Big C", there is always a smile in her mouth and eyes, and she looks very energetic and warm. The confrontation between two smart and beautiful guys who love each other and compete with each other is very exciting. Even that Alon, who smiled innocently at people, was so harmless and pitiful.
Such a happy ending, how wonderful!
Too bad the writers didn't. The full smiles and warm feelings of the previous 120 minutes were instantly broken and faded by the last scene, and disappeared without a trace. Another feeling occupies all the territory, and the posture is proud.
After watching the movie at 20:00, I went to bed normally at 22:00, but it was very unstable. That uncomfortable, terrifying feeling filled the dream. Alon appeared in a Voldemort-like state—a blurry image, but a strong sense of negativity told him that he was here, and it was so powerful and irresistible. And the girl who didn't appear directly in the film actually rushed in front of her "eyes" with wide eyes. Wake up, 1am.
In the dark night, reminiscing about the ethereal feeling of cold, ask yourself, why is there such a strong sense of discomfort, what exactly is this feeling? Why is this so? Tried to catch that feeling, finely structured, but failed. It was like a haze, hidden in and melted into the darkness.

I thought that after several years of cultivation, I was strong enough to "understand" and "face" the dark side. Able to look at many unbearable, cold, naked, but real things from the perspective of individual growth, psychological needs, biological instincts, and behavioral evolution. I can watch those movies that show the "devil" without shedding tears or swearing, and even put a smile on the corner of my mouth to show my calmness. But why, this time is still so uneasy.
Maybe it's the uncontrollable, unknown fear. Especially when you think you understand and understand.

    The scene in Edward Norton's cell was really good, and the two personalities switched very freely. This story was thought to be "24 Billy" at first, but I didn't expect it to be "Witness for the Prosecution" at the end.

    From the first time I saw norton, I felt that he was not simple, he must be a very character, so the more I looked back, the more nervous I became, for fear that he would suddenly show his true side. There is also the bishop, who also felt that it was not a good thing at first sight.

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.
