Behind the first-level fear is a cascade of fears

The foreshadowing reversal setting is very classic, but I feel wonderful after watching it several times. Watching this movie for the first time is best to avoid spoilers, so please be aware that the following comments contain spoilers.

The plot of the movie is well-paced. The biggest debate in the show is whether Aaron's actions are acting or split personality. Personally, I still think "Aaron"'s honest personality didn't exist in the first place. The so-called murderer left-handed is obviously contradictory in several special scenes where the brutal "Roy" contacts with lawyer Martin. In terms of personality transformation, it is obviously because of his acting skills. Moreover, the so-called psychiatrist's testimony was refuted by the judge and the prosecution as the plot progressed: without further certification from a professional psychiatrist, it is not impossible to cheat.

Two of my favorite clips, one is the female lawyer pointing out the testimony in "The Scarlet Letter" that depicts a double-faced person. Who is the double-faced person pointing to? On the bright side is the bishop, and on the dark side there is Aaron; on the other side, Aaron murmurs that the bishop is like his father, and what kind of person is his father? Did the bishop, like the father, appreciate it, or did it mean something else? I really like these two hints.

In addition, there is a reversal of the role situation, which I would like to call a must. The ending, like the beginning, seems to be a thrilling victory and a double harvest of love, fame and fortune, but it is actually the failure of an idealist as a former prosecutor and the escape of a desperate anti-social demon. This is only on the surface of the character. If you count the uncertain future of the civilian believers who lost the bishop's protection in the background of the story, and the temporary failure of capital developers to seize land, they can still make a comeback. At the end of the story, everything is The inversion of the ring.

The wonderful performance of the actors and the ingenuity of the plot structure are really amazing.
