I have always liked logical detective and reasoning films, so the process of watching this one was very enjoyable. It is related to mathematics, and people follow the protagonist to reason all the way. The venerable Oxford professor, surrounded by characters with various motivations, is fascinating, and the interesting thing is that the audience feels like the hero at the end: being played!
The truth of the case, just like the hero Martin said: "The truth does not exist in the field of mathematics." Those seemingly related murders are actually the murderer's intentional series of accidents. Even I, a loyal fan of Agatha Christie, completely forgot the truth that she always emphasized in her works "the truth is always people's 'motivation'", and was led by the director step by step in the direction he arranged. It really feels like I was played once, but I was played very willingly, because the screenwriter and director used their hearts. For people who like reasoning movies like me, this movie is still worth two hours. of time.
Beth left Oxford, perhaps far from the French Open. This ending is really frustrating. Is the murderer on the loose? And Seldem killed Beth's father and his wife decades ago, and whether he can be brought to justice is not something the director feels compelled to explain to the audience. The director seems to be more willing to tell the audience: if You are led into those seemingly complicated traps like mathematical formulas, and you are likely to be like Martin and those cops, controlled to get the conclusions others want you to reach and miss the truth.
Jump out of the formula, see the reality clearly, the truth may be right in front of you!
