Luckily, she is rescued by a retired nurse (Kathy Bates) and taken back to her apartment to be cared for. Unexpectedly, the nurse, who claimed to be Paul's number one fan, went mad when she found out that Paul had ended her favorite "Misery" series, not only forcing the writer to destroy the final manuscript, but also ordering him to rewrite it according to his own ideas. . Paul could only rewrite it while secretly looking for an escape. In the end, after a fierce struggle, Paul finally escaped from his life. However, the shadow brought by this "number one book fan" lingered on him...
Brief Comment: I have to admit that the director's skills are compact and tense. The plot arrangement has always attracted the attention of the audience. Of course, Stephen King's original work itself has the potential to be a classic. When it comes to Stephen King, you may feel a little unfamiliar, but you must not be unfamiliar with "The Shawshank Redemption" and "The Shining" adapted from his original works and put on the screen. Let's also mention the hero James, time is a pig-killing knife. I think how heroic and heroic Sonny was when he played "The Godfather", but here he is too old to be amiable. And Grandma Casey won a golden statuette for her performance of the ferocious nurse in this film. I still remember her kind wife in the warm comedy "The Direction of the Heart", which she co-starred with Jack Nicholson many years later, and I can't help feeling that she is a good actor. In a word, this is a good movie, comparable to "Silence of the Lambs", which is also a thriller.
