I have always liked to watch this kind of suspense drama, and I have watched another Spanish suspense drama "Dark Side" before, and I like to watch it and ponder the logical relationship in it. As the saying goes, there are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand eyes, and everyone has a different perspective and feeling when watching the film.

Some people see a series of butterfly effects brought about by the choices people make in order to avoid mistakes when facing their own mistakes. Just like the male protagonist, he did all this with the original intention of covering up his cheating. The negative news of cheating will make you lose your career and family, but in order to cover up one mistake and then lead to all the mistakes that follow, killing innocent boys and mistresses. Some people say that since the male protagonist has a high IQ, I can see that the lawyer is a fake. Why is the male protagonist so easily told the truth by a seemingly fragile and cancer-stricken mother? And the contrast between the roles of this mother and this famous lawyer is so great, this design is too unreasonable! Indeed, I believe that many people will have such a view, and they will feel that the final reversal is a bit far-fetched, but I think there are two reasons for this arrangement: First, the reason why the male protagonist relaxes his vigilance against fake lawyers is because He has a guilty conscience. When you do something with a guilty conscience, the appearance of any irrelevant character will make you think wildly, just as the male protagonist always wants to know how to get the witness (the passing driver), maybe the driver didn't notice anything It would also make him feel that he found something wrong and monitored what they were doing. Therefore, when you have a handle in the hands of others, your attention will be distracted, and you will focus more on how to handle this handle. Therefore, even if the male protagonist with high IQ tests the ability of a lawyer at the beginning, he will later I let down my guard because of my guilty conscience. In fact, this is quite normal. When we are nervous and uneasy, we only want to get rid of this guilt, and we don’t think too much about logical relationships.

The second point is that from the perspective of humanism, and also from the perspective of human nature, we think that the transformation from a fragile mother suffering from cancer to a strong woman lawyer who has never lost a lawsuit makes us feel incredible. And we people are precisely this kind of unbelievable. This is the most touching and shocking part of this film. A mother suffering from cancer, losing her son is already a huge blow. In addition, his son is inexplicable After his death, he was charged with a thief charge, which can be said to be aggravating for a mother, but the potential of human beings is precisely under such a heavy blow. The power of family is great, and the power of mother's love is Great, no matter how fragile I am, but in order for my son to be strong enough to pretend to be such a character that is very different from myself, I saw the last mother go back to the opposite house, face to face with the male protagonist, step by step insert the wig and When wearing a mask, this contrast can't help but shock people. I think this is the powerful force in the heart that burst out. No one can deny this kind of maternal love!

One is that it is humanistic concern, paying attention to the emotions of every ordinary person. The screenwriter pays attention to the father's loss of his son. We also follow this clue as it should, but the screenwriter just started from a place that is easy to be caught by the audience. The design of this reversal from the neglected role, I think, also reflects a humanistic concern, focusing on the feelings of each individual.

Different people have different opinions, and it is precisely because of this difference that the charm of a film is highlighted. Generally speaking, it is a good film and I like it.
