The director of parallel imports plays tricks on the audience

Ward 2022-09-11 20:57:38

The director is seriously lacking in narrative skills, but he has to engage in so-called surprises.

The result is that the director's extremely condescending first-person narrative can conceal the known facts of the protagonist and deliberately mislead them, thus making it completely unconvincing. Created the "surprise" at the end.

Want to lie? You have a dual personality anyway!

Really crap.

Look at that show, it's just embarrassing Bruce Willie.

Not to mention the heroine...

The storytelling, editing, and music are just entry-level.

Perfect Stranger quotes

  • Miles Haley: [slides her a USB drive] Take this.

    Ro: And what's that?

    Miles Haley: It's new spyware you're gonna mickey into Hill's laptop. Go at the end of the day, install it into the computer, and bury it into the hard drive.

    Ro: And how long will that take?

    Miles Haley: Uh, 3 minutes and 14 seconds. But, that's just a guess.

  • Ro: It's a world where you *think* actions have no consequence, where guilt is cloaked by anonymity, where there are no fingerprints. An invisible universe filled with strangers, interconnected online and disconnected in life. It will steal your secrets, corrupt your dreams, and co-opt your identity. Because in this world, where you can be anything you want, any *one* you want, you just might lose sight of who you are.
