During the epidemic, I had time to watch a lot of movies, so I got this "Instinct".
In the comments, I saw a lot of people saying that this is a movie that boys like, including one of the ten movies that boys can’t miss on Zhihu. Why did I actually watch it twice? The double psychological impact of horror and eroticism, but the violence is just on the edge of not making people feel sick, and it produces wonderful and complex feelings, which is the reason why people can't stop this film. This kind of complex feelings can only be experienced once - those few scenes The fragrant sex scene was so exciting that the hormones soared, and at the same time, with the strange music, I had to sweat for the male protagonist's life. I was always ready to take an ice pick and splatter the sheets with blood in the next second. This kind of The contradictory ups and downs completely disappeared when I watched it for the second time, because I already knew that Nick was not stabbed, so the only thing left in the sex scene was the sex scene, so cherish the first time you watched it!
When I watched it for the first time, some details were missed by fast-forwarding, but I already knew that Catherine had always been the murderer. Whether it was the strong contrast of Nick's relaxed expression at the end of everyone solving the case, or the ice pick under the bed at the end of the scene, her guilt was confirmed. But after reading the judges' analysis of the murderer, I felt that every possibility has its reasons and its loopholes. Many details were not carefully considered, especially Beth's sudden change of expression, so I carefully brushed the first page. secondary.
Many people on Zhihu have a very good deliberation on who the murderer is. Among them, there are many who carefully observe the bodies of the two heroines, and compare the bodies of the murderers at the beginning of the murder case, or slow down the camera to see whose face is under the blond hair. It's not wrong to be sure that the murderer is Catherine herself. If the film is to be filmed, it must be played by someone. How about putting it in a formal scene and no one sees the crime scene? This feels like a very complicated geometric proof problem. It is necessary to prove that the ab side is equal to the cd side. Everyone is racking their brains to use various axioms, theorems, and auxiliary lines. Someone here directly uses a ruler to measure it and say: Well, it is equal It's... well, it's a solution, but I might prefer logical reasoning.
However, someone else stood up, stating that there were "full of loopholes", saying that the killing method at the beginning was impossible without leaving the slightest evidence: it is impossible that there was no trace of the woman's hair left at the scene, the DNA of the female secretions, the body, Fingerprints remained on the sheets and silk scarves, and the woman was also splashed with the blood of the deceased. Looking at that time with the technology of the 21st century, it feels a bit too harsh. After all, the answering machine is still used in the film, and Catherine is his girlfriend. These biological materials left behind can't explain any problems. Speaking of the early 90s I haven't looked into the level of American case handling technology, but entangled in the perfect design of the crime is like entangled in why Catherine's novel fits perfectly with the case. Too serious "loopholes" can't actually enjoy the thriller and the two of them in this movie. Psychological contest, so put these logics behind you for the time being.
What impressed me was how Nick fell into that vortex step by step. In the film, his behavior in the interrogation room was almost the same as Katherine. They had never met before. Nick was very angry that Katherine could treat her The past is so familiar, but he is also deeply fascinated by why this woman can understand him so well, including that it is impossible for him to quit smoking, that he has escaped inquiries several times, and his troubles in the police station, she still has What can you show yourself? He believed that this woman was the murderer. When everyone couldn't see the truth, he believed that only a lunatic like himself could really fight Catherine, and he felt that he had the chance to win, and he gradually jumped into the one set by Catherine. Among the puzzles is a growing suspicion of Beth. Catherine's control of Nick is elusive, and after an indulge, it must be accompanied by a coldness or even anger, accusation, and abuse, which makes Nick feel guilty, and the balance gradually falls to Catherine, and his emotional impulsiveness and unruly way of handling cases make him gradually. The rational line of defense has been loosened. The story line about Beth is really interesting. She did have one incident with Catherine, but after that, she was scared away by Catherine's fixation and reported her. Until the end, you can't know whether Beth reported Catherine or Catherine. Blame Beth, there is a report about Liza Hoberman, wordplay. And there must be some unexplained plot between Beth and Nilsen, why Nilsen is investigating her, whether they have an unknown deal, Beth's out of control in front of Nick, and how long has she been gay? Just like the other sides of the prism, the director deliberately hides these sides, so the audience can't see the whole picture of the story, and can't judge whether Nilsen's death is related to Beth, after all, the ice pick is probably the same person, but The shooting is still unsolved, which is the subtlety of the plot.
In addition, what amazes me is the appearance of Sharon Stone. She is 32 years old. She is the pinnacle of her beauty and her figure. Women must fall for it. She doesn't need to wear very revealing clothes to reflect her beauty. Ten thousand amorous feelings, as if knowing that it is a mysterious abyss, but can't help but fall into it. I always feel that Charlize Theron is very similar to Sharon Stone when she was young. I don't know if it is because of Dior, who endorsed her for this reason, but it is a little different. Charlize Theron is much softer, and Sharon Stone has a face. There is a strong sense of men in it, not every shot can feel it. For example, in the beginning of the shot, she sat demurely on the beach and answered the police officer's question. It is very cold and windy, and it is not peaceful to exclude her hairstyle and hang her head on a man, which is in line with the characteristics of Catherine in the movie, which combines the charm of the bed and the brutality of picking up an ice pick. So I don't exactly think this movie is talking about the awakening of feminism, or the symbol of women conquering men, anyone can fall under the instinct of sex and ruin their own reason, like the tears in Katherine's eye sockets at the end of the film It's generally true, and it seems that in the midfield sex scene, sometimes the male is in the upper position, and sometimes the female is in the upper position. They all want to have a dominant position in this contest, but they have not been able to conquer their inner desires and overlapping desires.
