It is rare for this film to have the style of the film determined by the artist (the other is Gone with the Wind), and the screenwriter has created a parallel, twisting story, and the role of the screenwriter is highlighted for the first time in a film. In the town's first homicide, an officer was killed. Given that the Doctor was previously referred to as a film by the officials, it is reasonable to believe that the Doctor instructed Caesar to kill the official who had previously called him a "liar".
The ending is also very good. One detail is that Francis's story is exactly the same as the actual mental hospital, and the characters are exactly the same. This raises the question, who is the patient? Who is the murderer? Such a design confuses the boundaries between reality and fantasy, truth and falsehood, and rationality and irrationality cannot be distinguished~~ This is a kind of thinking about the real world.
