The Spanish-French co-production "The Oxford Murders" tells the story of a math-loving American student, Martin, who comes to Oxford in pursuit of his idol, Professor Arthur.
At first, Martin and Arthur had a huge difference. Martin belongs to the school of logic and believes that everything has a law and can be explained by mathematics, while Arthur believes that there is no truth and truth in the world, and that everything happens irregularly. , what seems to be regular may actually apply to other laws, so in the end it is still chaotic and irregular.
Then the seemingly regular serial killer began a series of murders, with Arthur, Martin and the police speculating that the killer was someone who disagreed with Arthur's theory, premeditatedly killing people in order to prove the existence of the regularity, and every time the murder scene All provide a special symbol that forms a regular logical sequence. In order to prevent the next murder from happening, Martin and Arthur diligently study symbols for clues. Until the fourth murder, Martin found the pattern of symbols by consulting books, leading to a father he met in the hospital who was waiting for his daughter's organ transplant. The father would kill and ride in his car so that his daughter could be rescued. of children with Down syndrome. But it was too late and the police failed to save the children's lives in time. It is believed that the father created the illusion of a serial killer in order to conceal his ultimate motive, which triggered the series of murders.
Just when Martin and his lover were about to leave this place of right and wrong, he suddenly found out that this was not the case. The real mastermind behind it was Professor Arthur. Si fell deeply in love with Martin, but her mother, who had been suffering from cancer for many years, became a stumbling block to prevent her from chasing happiness freely. Beth then killed her mother and turned to her mother's friend Professor Arthur for help. Professor Arthur was on the way. Meeting Martin at the scene, in order to protect Beth, he had to make up some nonsense like a serial killer, and in order to prove the existence of this lie to divert the attention of the police, Arthur planned the second murder of a dying patient , The third deceased was a natural death and was also used by Arthur to form part of a serial murder. But what Arthur did not expect was that after the series of murders were published in the newspapers, the father of the transplanted child was inspired to use the existing series as a cover to carry out a fourth murder.
The truth finally came out. Martin saw countless contingency from several deaths, which seemed to prove Arthur's theory that everything is random. Unexpectedly, Arthur also saw the opposite of his theory, the butterfly effect, the real initiator It's Martin, if Beth hadn't fallen in love with Martin, she wouldn't have killed her mother, then nothing else would have happened, Martin is the butterfly that flapped its wings in the first place. . .
There are many dialogues between Arthur and Martin in the film, about whether the truth exists, whether what you think is the truth is the actual truth and other esoteric philosophical propositions. For example, at the scene of a murder, if a person holds a bloody knife in his hand, can it prove that he is the murderer? Don't all the truths that people think need to be reasoned and proved, and the truth that has been deduced must be the truth? A very impressive scene is the place where Arthur and Martin finally talked. It is a fake museum. Arthur said that this is his favorite place to come, because he knows that all the items are fake, so this is the closest to the truth. place. . .
There is no truth in the world~~~
