The screenwriter is also great, if you miss the opening 5 minutes, you will see it as a suspense movie, and the director actually tells us who the murderer is at the opening!
An old reporter has his own news principles and his own principles of being a person. He is familiar with the profession of reporters. After a murder case, he can get the confidential information in the hands of the police station as soon as possible. He is well-known in this profession!
He attaches great importance to feelings, so his friend is in big trouble, of course he is Li Fu, not to mention that he has an affair with his friend's wife!
In the whole story, it is difficult for us to distinguish how much of his way of doing things is dominated by feelings, how much is a real friendship, and how much is to make up for it, but we can be sure that he is enough buddies and enough loyalty!
If you are meticulous and attentive enough, you can see the complex relationship between him, his friend, his friend's wife, his college classmates, his acquaintances, and what's worse, when he was still in school, he had a relationship with his friend's wife. Ambiguous, there has been such a period!
So, when a friend exposes an extramarital affair and confesses to him that his relationship with his wife is indifferent, I think he feels remorse, because he has such a part in the relationship!
In order to save him, he tried his best to clear his friend's name. In the process, he did not hesitate to disobey the orders of his superiors or miss the opportunity to make headlines.
When his friend's wife came to him again, he didn't show any kindness. There was a sentence in the film "Can sex change friendship?"!
May I?
Feelings can make you misjudge, but what's the difference between having no feelings and animals?
If you don't understand this film, let me tell you something here:
a young and promising congressman with a bright future, when he found out that someone secretly took an intimate photo of him and his assistant, he tried his best to get it back. Two people were shot and killed, one of them was just a pickpocket and was insignificant, and the other was a takeaway to the moldy!
The female assistant died in the subway, and he lost his voice in front of the public. His relationship with the female assistant also became a super scandal. Helpless, he sought help from reporters and friends, and admitted that he had a lover relationship with his assistant and a cold relationship with his wife!
The friend did his best for him on this matter. As the story unfolded, the murderer moved more and more towards his opponent. This was entirely due to his shrewd performance and his friend's sentimentality. Until the end, the friend suddenly realized all the stories. All directed by him!
