I recently watched a Nicholas Cage movie, one-sided "The Frozen Ground", Chinese translation "Frozen Ground". The film was still chosen to watch after seeing Nicholas Cage starring. It’s been a long time since I’m not in the mood to watch this type of movie quietly, because the chosen subject matter is not only showing the story itself, but also telling some thought-provoking, awakening people, facing choices, and so on.

The story is adapted from a true story, and it tells a series of prostitute hunts in Alaska at the end of the 1980s. The protagonist is a perverted rape murderer, a police detective, and a prostitute. The highlight is to tell the three psychological conditions of the three protagonists. The story takes place in Alaska. The film starts from Nicholas playing the detective and discovering the bodies of two girls in the frozen ground. It is determined that a series of missing buttons of prostitutes are related to the villain's perverted murderer (ie: John Cusack will play that A notorious serial killer Robert Hansen) However, regarding legal issues, no evidence could be found to confirm that Hansen was the murderer. After several interrogations, it was discovered that a prostitute had been persecuted and eventually fled Hansen, which became the key to the cracking of this case. The film starts with three clues: detective, prostitute, and Hansen. The detective is a person who has lost faith in the law. Because of the time when his sister was killed many years ago, the murderer was sentenced to a very light sentence. He lost confidence in the law and was about to leave the police. The team left Alaska to live anew. Because of Hansen’s case, they were forced to come back, and because of the police detective’s sympathy for the victim, a new round of investigation was launched. However, the process of handling the case was repeatedly blocked. On the other hand, police detectives and prostitutes had many dialogues, but they still did not gain the trust of prostitutes, and there was no evidence of Hansen’s crime. The prostitutes were even more depraved because of their hopelessness towards society and themselves. The detectives kept persuading prostitutes to think about it. It's a pity that prostitutes got rid of it time and time again. Because of the contradiction between the profession and society of prostitutes, prostitutes inherently distrusted society and distrusted themselves, which led to no progress in pressing the button. Until when a prostitute met Hansen here, Hansen wanted to kill the prostitute, and the prostitute ran away and met a police detective. The detective faced with wanting to arrest Hansen immediately, but suffered from legal non-support. As a result, Hansen cleared the evidence, but after the arrest of Hansen, the interrogation still failed to produce favorable evidence to correct Hansen. Finally, the courage of the detectives and the prostitutes, using the means of deceiving Hansen, let Hansen tell the truth, and finally put an end to the perverted murderer series of perverted crimes. Let the girls who have been victimized for many years be able to find the bodies from the burial sites in the frozen land.

The plot of the story is as simple as the above. From the series of stories shown in the film, I can see that it is the dark side of society and the perseverance in the face of imperfect laws, and the rugged travel of human nature. This is not so much a story to tell, as it is to tell the psychology of three types of people, the perverted murderer Hansen, who is rich, has a house, has a car, has a wife and children, and has his own interests and lives. It should be described as having no worries about food and clothing. According to reason, no one would suspect that he would commit such a crime, but his heart is extremely empty and lonely, so it can stimulate him and stimulate him in rape and hunting. Starting his interest may make him feel a sense of existence. Instead of looking like a pervert, we should think about what people pursue. When you have everything, what else do you want. This problem may be plagued by such a group of local tyrants. Perhaps such a phenomenon can be seen in our lives. I will not cite examples. I have heard and seen too many. What people are still pursuing after satisfying certain needs is a topic worthy of consideration. The police detective is a positive example. Through this time, let him get rid of the shadow of his sister. As a law enforcer, although there are loopholes in the law, there are difficulties and unfairness, but if you do nothing, you will only cause evil to arise. Only by facing up to these under limited conditions and still insisting on justice can axioms see hope. The prostitutes respond to the plight of the lower-level people, helplessness, persecution, lack of care, and eventually go astray. If there is no positive guidance, no care, and continuous encouragement, they cannot stand up and face the eyes of the world. , Still living in a dark state of mind, so these people need attention, care, care, encouragement, tolerance, which is also lacking in the current society, with colored glasses to see people, misinterpretation, avoidance, etc., everything is not Trust prevents the people at the bottom from receiving the right treatment, which continues to cause various problems and affect their psychology. Therefore, this society still needs tolerance and encouragement. Only in this way can the soul of the upper class be sublimated and the heart of the lower class can be comforted.

So this film allows us to see some positive elements, and also allows us to see how dark it is, and what ultimately guides us is how to treat these correctly. The above is not the original life of the film, but the story of the introduction of the film, so that I can experience some feelings. Therefore, I feel that the director and screenwriter are also through such a film that directly faces the society, let everyone think, let the society think. At this point, I think it is successful. I didn't worry about the actors, the script, but based on what I understood, I thought he was good.
