What will you do when you are trapped in a secret room with little food and only water for you to survive?

I think the human instinct to survive will make you do everything possible to escape before you run out of food and energy, at least until the last moment before you die alone.

When you are trapped in a secret room, the reason is that you left the key outside the door?

You will surely regret it and think to yourself: how can I do this? !

To add another premise to all of this:

You hid in an almost impossible room to teach your lover a lesson, see if he put you first, and recorded a serious breakup video that clearly stated that you had left and told him not to look for you. A secret room noticed by outsiders;

Then, you can still be very satisfied with your cleverness just a moment ago. You can see your lover's anxiety and sadness through the mirror that can see the outside room (but you can't see the secret room from the outside), and secretly rejoice in your heart. Deep regret and panic...

The film "Dark Side" uses a novel and somewhat cruel method to show the above psychological process without any hesitation, and even adds a lot of despair with various suffixes, which perfectly interprets the old saying: no zuo no die why you try , to warn those little princesses who are trying to test their partners to think twice about everything.

After all, there's a good chance that your partner will quickly get out of the relationship and start the next true love [funny face.

However, just based on "Escape Room", the film was rated as "2012 International High-Quality Detective Mystery Movie"?

of course not.

The first half of the movie has been creating suspense, the vanishing lover, the haunted bathroom, and to be honest, I didn't read any synopsis, so at the beginning of the movie, I thought it was an old-fashioned murder story, just like the police in the movie, He felt that this male conductor with a suspicious expression was the murderer—not to mention that he was so careless and provoked everywhere, and his girlfriend was still missing, so he brought his new love home with him, and he didn't look like a good man at all.

It was not until the second half of the scene that the camera turned and saw the truth of Beren's disappearance and Fabiana's struggle, and I was amazed at what a wonderful film this is.

(The following contains spoilers, friends who plan to watch this film should watch it carefully.)

Belen:

"If I go to (Bogota) with you, will you promise to take care of me?"

"You won't leave me, will you stay with me?"

Adrian:

"I won't leave you for a moment."

So, Belen, who was immersed in sweet love, made her first choice: to put down her life in Spain and go to Bogota with her boyfriend.

However, she soon questioned whether her choice was correct——

I bumped into Adrian with a violinist several times. Belen felt that there was something tricky about the two of them, but Adrian refused to admit it;

After Beren checked Adrian's mobile phone contact records and confirmed that her boyfriend was suspected of cheating, the following conversation occurred:

"Adrian."

"What's wrong?"

"How did you develop with that violinist Veronica?"

"My God Beren, I have nothing to do with her."

"Then why are you two calling and texting each other?"

"Have you checked my phone?" (classic rhetorical question)

"answer me."

"I meant to flirt with her a little bit, that's all, nothing happened. I can't do anything to hurt you."

"Then why flirt with him?"

"We flirt every now and then..." (weak excuse)

"No, we don't do this occasionally." (Beren finally couldn't help crying when he said this)

"I love you and am in a relationship with you, nothing else."

"..."

"How do you believe me? Fire Veronica?"

"Okay, fire her."

"I can't do that."

(sighs) "Okay. Come on, you're running late."

After that, Adrian wanted to comfort Beren, but Beren refused.

It can be said that this scene is the most impressive part of the movie. The hero and heroine express all their emotions very well, and also push the contradiction between the two to the top, forcing Beren to face the second option: tolerance If you can't break up decisively, choose to forgive when nothing happens, or create a test to teach your boyfriend a lesson?

Belen chose the last option.

I asked my boyfriend, "Will you find me if I disappear?"

Boyfriend said, "Yes."

I asked again, "What if I recorded a video like that, like Beren?"

The way my boyfriend looked at me was obviously caring for the mentally handicapped.

Yes, I also feel that when you find out that your partner is unfaithful, there are only two best choices: break up decisively and choose forgiveness. The former is worse than short-term pain, and the latter is forbearance and waiting. Once you choose the last option , With the idea of ​​​​trying, the emotional balance between the two has become unstable.

But love is always contradictory, wanting to forgive but not reconciled, wanting to give up and taking a chance: What if he and her are just playing, and the love is still me?

So Belen considered the advice of the landlady Emma, ​​recorded a breakup video, hid in the secret room, and created the illusion that she had left.

She hopes that her boyfriend can change his mind and realize that love can only be concentrated. As a result, due to her own mistakes, she has exchanged deeper despair.

If it was me who was locked up in the room, when I saw my boyfriend went from decadent to giving up this relationship, and finally invested in a new relationship, and had sex with his new love every day, it would be hard to imagine how I would collapse.

Meanwhile, the only food—several decades-expired military cans—is running out, and the generator in the back room is broken.

This collapse left Beren almost desperate in the Chamber of Secrets.

Interestingly, only rival Fabiana understood Beren's only way of communicating with the outside world.

At this time, the climax of the film appeared, and Fabiana began to face her first choice: to save or not to save?

The answer, of course, is yes: help!

Just when she was about to open the door of the secret room, another thought flashed in her mind: to rescue Beren, she might lose Adrian's love.

So she hesitated. She remembered the first meeting of the two, remembered how he looked when he was drunk for Beren, and remembered that Adrian was probably thinking of Beren when he was sleepless at night... A woman's jealous heart made her Changed choice.

She even changed the layout of the room to hide the secret.

But her heart was uneasy. This kind of disguised "death without help" made her feel that she had made a mistake. After all, it was a human life. If Beren died in the secret room, she would have a ghost in her heart for the rest of her life.

So she still opened the door of the secret room, but she didn't know that Beren had been drowned in hatred and turned into a devil just because she made a mistake in her first choice.

This time, it was Fabiana trapped in the secret room...

Look at Adrian again.

In the face of Beren's questioning, Adrian chose to maintain the status quo and did not break up with Veronica, which caused Beren's tragedy;

After meeting Fabiana for a period of time, perhaps it was his conscience that he finally made the right choice and clearly told Veronica that he could no longer continue, but his little petty was still photographed by the police and handed over to him. Fabienne.

It proves the old saying: if you want people to know nothing, you must do it yourself.

I seem to see Beren's tragedy repeating itself. After Fabiana disappeared, Adrian brought Veronica home rightly...

Adrian is not a bad guy, but he did bad things.

Fabiana is kind, but she is also blinded by the magic of love.

The same is true for Beren, her revenge has made her lose her heart.

This is the case with each of us. There is a dark side in our heart, but most of the time, reason will cover it. The only thing we can do is to try our best to choose the right path.

At the end of the film, Beren is sitting by the sea, staring at the sunset in a daze.

I hope she can go and rescue Fabienne, and don't let herself be blamed for a lifetime because of other people's mistakes.
