Benjamin Engel is a master of social engineering. He pinched the weaknesses of human nature very precisely. He knows that the highest state of manipulating others is not to let him feel manipulated. He knows that the key to success is to seize the weakness of human nature in order to break through the fortification of human nature. As long as you invade your thinking system and let the implanted Trojan program start running, you can make wrong judgments and choices yourself.
Although Benjamin is a bad guy in real life, he dreams of becoming a superhero in the online world. In order to prove his strength to the hero hacker MRX in his mind, he used the screen name CLAY (clown laughing at you) to break into the firewall of the German Intelligence Service and sent the downloaded employee list to MRX as a gift. , which resulted in the assassination of one of the hacker criminal organization FR13NDS. Because this person is actually an informant of the intelligence agency, and MAX is likely to be another of the four FR13NDS. In this way, CLAY is not only not favored by MRX, but is regarded as a threat, and it has also become a target that FR13NDS wants to remove. Benjamin was desperate and decided to turn himself in to Europol.
Hannah Lindbergh is the chief investigator of the Special Operations Division of Europol's Cybercrime Centre. Benjamin told Hannah he could help her track down MRX in exchange for applying to the police for witness protection. Hannah tracked the Russian cyber gang organization FR13NDS for many years, but was suspended after the intelligence agency's systems were compromised by CLAY. Of course, she also wanted to rely on this investigation to turn a salted fish over.
Benjamin used the fake MRX method to let the police catch MAX instantly through an IP tracker. Hannah, on the other hand, began to wonder if Clay was just Benjamin when she was about to fulfill her promise.
Did you see that there are four people in the film review for CLAY, or is it only Benjamin? Does Benjamin have multiple personality splits? Did he know he was schizophrenic? The fight was a mess. In fact, all these questions can be combined into four possibilities:
1. CLAY is four people, Benjamin has split personality;
2. CLAY is four people, Benjamin has no split personality;
3. CLAY is a person, Benjamin has a split personality;
4. CLAY is one person, Benjamin has no split personality.
The beauty of the film is that these four possibilities can all be explained, and only depend on our own judgment and choice. So not only is Benjamin exploiting Hannah's human weakness, but the film also exploits our audience's human weakness, and that's why we're getting confused over and over again.
The operation to capture the German intelligence service, the four of them displayed on the monitoring screen. During the operation, one person was responsible for modifying the program of the printer, one person was responsible for erasing the images in the monitoring system, one person was responsible for obtaining the password for the access control of the computer room, and Benjamin entered the computer room alone.
After the five people on the ship meet at the end of the film, the camera cuts back to the five meeting in their grandma's house, where Mary reminds Benjamin that people with mental illness will be excluded from the witness protection program.
Ritalin, a prescription drug that energizes the central nervous system to improve concentration, is often used by cyber-hackers to refresh their minds. So Benjamin is not using Ritalin to treat mental illness.
Faced with Hannah's change in attitude, Benjamin pleads that if witness protection is not available, he is the next target for retaliation by FR13NDS.
Hannah relented and planned to transfer him to the District Court for witness protection proceedings. But halfway through, he suddenly stopped, took him to the door of the computer room, gave him five minutes to modify his identity information, and set him free on the condition that he would no longer be a hacker.
At the beginning and end of the film, the magic of "four sugar cubes" changing into one appeared for the second time. When she opened the car door and let Benjamin go, Hannah took out the four candies in her pocket, and then she suddenly woke up.
"Who am I (WHO A MI)" is the computer name Benjamin used to surf the Internet. Why did he take such a name?
"Sometimes we care too much about what others think of us, and in the end we don't even know who we are," he said.
"But everyone can be whoever they want to be"
"Everyone just wants to see what he wants to see."
The weakness of human nature is that people only want to see what they want to see. Because of this, human nature cannot be absolutely trusted; and because of this, "there is no absolutely safe system".
Another brilliant point of the film is that people's psychology believes that multiple personalities are the cause of crime, but the film uses this as a sly way to escape punishment.
