comfort

When I just watched Solace, I thought of Long Mian when I first watched it. This kind of consciousness is not easy to express in the form of a movie. I personally think there are some problems. At the beginning, the capable person was still visible to the touch. Why did he not need any medium and directly understand the past and the present? I think the form is biased. In addition, the plot and logic are a bit far-fetched and out of touch. Because the murderer played by Colin Farrell has the superhuman ability to predict the future, so he can predict everything, including the manslaughter of the perverted writer and the actions of the policewoman? First of all, there is no explanation in terms of ability, so let us temporarily think that he has such amazing ability, no need to explain, this is the setting of the movie, no problem. The murderer thought he was liberating the patients from their pain or before they were sick, and then let the police solve the case and find out that the victim was actually dying, so that the family could be relieved. He wanted John to take his class, and John probably agreed with him to some extent, even though he himself was extremely conflicted and tangled. But why didn't he just go to John directly, and prove his ability in this way, and then meet John? So is there any necessary connection between the two of them and the policewoman? Why must the policewoman be mixed in? I didn't understand the logic, what is the role of the policewoman between the two capable people? Also, why did the killer have to ask John to kill him? Is it to give him a head start for his succession? Maybe, let john take the first step, accept his ideas, his approach.
comfort? Maybe that's what the movie's title means? To give eternal relief to those who are not yet in pain but will soon be in pain? Solace

    The subject matter is not new, and the angle is not the most unique, but the script is okay, the ending is still cliché, and the heroine is too similar to Stone.

    I never thought it was a single episode of a medical ethics American drama. Why did it act like a crime-solving film to cheat me out of my ticket? Several turning points are very WTF, and the ending is superfluous to burst. Jeffery Dean Morgan, my goodness! so fucking hot! But there is no use for eggs, because there is Colin Farrell in the dark.

Solace quotes

  • Charles Ambrose: I don't enjoy the work I do, John. It's not a fetish. It's about allowing those who are already dying... to die with some dignity. Sometimes the greatest acts of love are the hardest acts to commit.

  • Charles Ambrose: I have no interest in playing God. As far as his work is concerned, I'm not impressed.
