After reading several film reviews and found that no one has written a single point, I will write it.
To say that people are killed by beth, and that Catherine is so beautiful and impossible to kill is completely incomprehensible. You are too deceived. After all, Nick actually got into bed with C in the movie and was drugged. You can be fascinated by the logical thinking down through the screen. It's so deceiving. Much loss.
People were killed by Catherine, and what Beth said was the truth. It was Catherine who was crazy and obsessed with imitating others in Berkeley back then, and Beth's husband was killed by Catherine. Many people have said these points.
So the question is, why did Beth end up dead? Why is C madly infatuated with B, but finally set B to die? Why not kill B with your own hands. Many people have not analyzed this.
Who is the worst dead person in the whole movie? Not a rock star, not Nilson, not Gus, but Beth. What's worse than being shot by the person you love the most? ? ? ? What's worse than being distrusted by the person you love the most and dying at the hands of the person you love the most? I'm going to die, my last words are still saying I love you to the gunman......
Nick doesn't love Beth, and he can have sex with C just after killing his ex-girlfriend. So Beth's death didn't hit him that much. Nick loved C. Between Beth's death and finding out that the real murderer was C, the latter shocked Nick even more.
In fact, from the beginning to the end, Nick was just a pawn of C, a pawn used by C to take revenge against B: "I can't love you, if you don't love me, then let you die at the hands of the person you love the most!" . Nick was picked by C for three reasons:
1. Nick has a history of murder and is mentally handicapped. Emotional instability, easy to be instigated and used.
2. C is a philatelic murderer. Gus complains to Nick that the people around your girlfriend are all murderers. Everyone thought of Roxy who killed his younger brother, and the silver-haired old lady who killed the whole family. But Nick himself is also a murderer! ! ! It's just that he wasn't convicted because of his police status. Look at what Roxy, the silver-haired lady, and Nick have in common: they've killed people, and they've killed those closest to them and loved them. Nick meets the first point at the beginning of the film: has killed people. At the end of the film, he successfully completed the second point, and he personally killed Beth who loved him the most (the ex-wife also committed suicide because of him). Nick and Roxy, the silver-haired old lady are one of a kind. Successfully joined C's philatelic club.
3. The third and most important point. That is Beth loves Nick. Loved to the point of saying I love you even if you were killed by Nick himself. So Nick was picked and became a tool of revenge.
Next, we will discuss the third point in detail.
Why is C so infatuated with B, but not in love, and doesn't kill her with his own hands? Why did he kill B's husband before but not B? Why kill B's ex-husband but not B's ex-boyfriend Nick? To use Nick to kill B until now?
Because C waited for the best opportunity, Nick. There's no better way to get revenge on B than Nick. For C, there's nothing better than having B die at Nick's gun. The death of the rock star is C to attract Nick, to facilitate Nick and C to meet. Nilson's death, because Nilson knew too much, was an obstacle that C removed in order to ensure the completion of the plan (we already knew that Nilson and C had contacts, and were also undercover, even before Nick found out about Berkeley's file). Gus's death was to fuel Nick's madness, which eventually led Nick to shoot Beth. Did you see that the death of all the characters in the movie is ultimately a stepping stone for Beth's death! ! ! Beth is also the last character to die in the entire movie. Nobody died after Beth. Because the plan was over when Beth died.
Then there must be people who say that Nick was originally going to be stabbed to death by C, which will happen after Beth's death. But Nick wasn't dead, was he. Nick is sure to die in the end. But not in this movie, because the movie basically ends when Beth dies. C was definitely going to stab Nick to death. In the end, he didn't stab Nick, but he just didn't have a good time. When C wanted to stab him with his backhand, Nick suddenly turned around. . . But these are not important, the last shot is just to point out that the audience C who didn't understand is the murderer behind the scenes.
PS. In fact, there is no need to use this erotic movie to talk about the relationship between men and women. This movie is a very special case. People may never meet someone like C or N in their life, and the relationship between the sexes is rarely the same as between C and N, so the reference meaning of this movie is not very big, but the plot is very complicated and interesting. I think another erotic movie is way better than Basic Instinct. . . And the relationship between men and women is simply too common and too meaningful. . . That is the bitter moon. If instinct has a greater vigilance for men (don't use your lower body to think, it's not your brain thinking it's her pussy talking). . . Then the bitter moon may be more alert to girls (don't think with your love brain, it's not your brain thinking it's his dick talking). . . (Haha suddenly found that the two movies, Instinct and Bitter Moon, can be paired) It is recommended that all girls, especially, watch Bitter Moon. Very instructive.
