After watching the ending of the movie, I always feel that the ending makes the movie fake, like a high school writing essay forcing a noble theme to be a good essay. Let me talk about my unreasonable doubts about the ending of the movie, and I hope someone can explain it.
1. First of all, the whole film is showing how secret the identity of Erica 's agent is, and even leaking the secret is treason, but it was leaked from the mouth of the 3- or 4-year-old daughter? Doesn't an agent know that it's impossible to keep a child a secret? He deliberately told his daughter that he was a special agent, so that he could make her proud? If it was unintentionally leaked, then she is also responsible for lax confidentiality
2. The heroine's choice seems to be deliberately to make herself look noble and great. First of all, before publishing the report, she must have expected how much harm it would bring to the family of the little girl who revealed her mother's identity as a secret agent. Reporting in Erika 's real identity, shouldn't the focus of this report be to expose the government's shady side? How did it later become a damage to Erica? So look at the end, the heroine seems to stick to the principle to protect the little girl, but the culprit who caused the little girl's harm is herself
3. Since her source of information is Erica 's daughter, why did the heroine take a hostile attitude with Erica in the first place? The child is innocent and incapable of judgment, but if Rachel privately told the truth to the child's guardian Erica (Anyway, Erica was also responsible for leaking her identity to her daughter, so let her shared commitment is also reasonable), can a better solution be found? And the final ending seems to be to highlight the sublime and greatness of the heroine. Erica killed, the two families were broken, and the two young children lost their mothers. Obviously there can be a better plan, it seems that for the theme of the composition, it is forced to choose the worst way.
That's where the ending makes the whole movie feel unreal, unreasonable for a moment. I don't know if other people have such doubts?
