Some people say that the ending has no meaning and can be deleted. I think the dialogue at the end is the solution to the puzzle. The screenwriter indirectly tells everyone the real purpose of the male protagonist

This is a good film, especially the ending is the finishing touch. The ending is when the hero and heroine meet, the woman asks the man, will you not lie to me, and the man says, what if I would?

My understanding is that the male protagonist and the woman are planning this kidnapping together for a purpose that may not be simple. On the surface, it is for the sake of women and money, but in fact it is just to avenge his daughter. , it can be seen that the male protagonist is very fond of his daughter and his death. However, the cause of her daughter's death is drug allergy, and the woman's husband is the doctor who caused her daughter's death by wrong medication! During the period of amnesia, the male protagonist thinks of his own daughter for the first time, and does not remember everything until he finally sees the woman. It can be seen that in the male protagonist's heart, the status of the two is more important. The male protagonist's sentence "What if I would?" In fact, the screenwriter told everyone indirectly that the woman was also deceived, and the real purpose of the male protagonist and the woman planning this incident is self-evident!

And looking at the whole drama from the subconscious choices made by the male protagonist in the case of amnesia, it can be seen that what the male protagonist really cares about from his heart is not money and women! Women are deceived from beginning to end, echo the end!

This is not an open ending, the screenwriter tells you the answer from the end!
