Similar to a witness for the prosecution, but in a tedious manner.

Maybe I watched too many suspense movies, so I wasn't too shocked when I watched this movie. Moreover, in many suspense films, the director deliberately fragmented and edited the story, so that we are not watching a wonderful story, but the director's trick. This Nolan's early film is similar to the prosecution witness in terms of storytelling. However, there are flaws in the plot followed, and at the same time, the director deliberately messes up the editing timeline. This approach is a bit raw, like an immature director who is suspenseful for the sake of film suspense. I have to say that many suspense movies are like this. . But after all, it is Nolan's early work, understandably, it was a very good work at that time. Because the recent Inception and Interstellar are perfect. The Expectation Creed is also a classic.

    1000; Familiar Nolan's non-linear narrative, not a god, but a masterpiece. Layer upon layer, both true and false. Voyeurism stems from human curiosity. It is like secretly checking the grades of classmates in school days. Under the traction of desire and satisfaction, this curiosity will expand and eventually be covered with blood and tears. Black and white is such a good form of film, diluting the color is soothing, and some films are destined to be black and white.

    (7/10) The shooting technique is brilliant. But I don't really like this kind of film that renders the IQ of a wrongful case.

  • Cobb: It's like a diary. They hide it. But actually they want someone to see it. That's what I do.

  • Cobb: That's what it's all about - interrupting someone's life, making them see all the things they took for granted. Like when they go back and buy all this stuff from the shelves with the insurance money, they'll have to think for the first time in a long time why they wanted all this stuff, what it's for. You take it away, and show them what they had.
