The mystery of the story must be revealed at the end

The defining characteristic of a good story is that there is something to chew on after reading it. This movie should fall into that category. Whether it is because there is something worth thinking about, or because it is not understood.

After watching the movie, take a look at some recent movies. The most obvious difference is that the script of the recent movie is too bad. I can't wait to break apart a plot and smash it several times before I can make up the length of the 90-minute movie. And the script of this movie is too full, and even some seemingly key plots are not explained in ink, only a few lines of dialogue are used, and such a plot is put on the big domestic directors, it is estimated that it will take dozens of minutes to shoot to explain.

When I wrote this, I suddenly felt that this might not be a problem with the script, but the director's intention. If all the plots were explained thoroughly, wouldn't it also be reduced to a chewing-up evaluation?

In my heart, the films invested by Lionsgate seem to have become a symbol, just like all Al Pacino’s are excellent, and all Lionsgate’s films seem to be good. Therefore, when the logo of Lionsgate at the beginning comes out, it will feel very refreshing: Well, another good-looking movie.

Back to this movie, depressing! So depressing! Looking at the previous comments, some people said: "As a man, it's not easy to watch this film after watching it." Fortunately, I watched it after watching it, and it was quite uncomfortable. In addition to lamenting that the buddies in the film are too weak, they are clenching their fists and preparing to strike hard at the right time to smash the perverted female blow!

However, the cruel thing is that the director did not give me such a chance, and gave me a big swipe. As the film continued, until the end, my position changed completely. I was so strong before. The depression and grievances of her could not be resolved so thoroughly through an explosive release. At this point, I had an epiphany that storytelling should be told like this (in order not to tick the checkbox of the key plot disclosure below, I won't say how it is told).

Many things in reality may be the same, but most of them may not have the chance to unravel the mystery. However, a small part of the situation has made me understand: how useless it is to blindly make promises and be full of blood.
