My first feeling after watching this movie was doubt. Since the hero's carefully planned murder failed, where did the name of this movie come from?
After recalling the details, I realized that this name is not only for the male protagonist, but not even for the female protagonist. He is not aiming at the final result of this movie, but the inner process of everyone.
Let's talk about the male protagonist first. His murder plan can be said to be the most meticulous, and it has been thoroughly analyzed step by step through the dialogue between the male protagonist and the little white-faced liar. As far as the plan is concerned, whether it is the time of the card game, the placement of the key, or the two mobile phones respectively calling different places, the excellent process of achieving alibi is obviously a perfect crime. If you proceed according to the plan, if the heroine can't get a sharp weapon, or the intruder is stronger, the chance of success is almost 100%, and the heroine's survival can be said to be a coincidence. So this can be called the perfect crime one.
Let’s talk about the deeper perfect crime of the female protagonist, that is, when she realizes that the male protagonist hires a murderer, she deliberately stimulates the male protagonist to kill the male protagonist with a gun, creating a legitimate defense to protect herself on the one hand. There will never be future troubles. One manifestation is that when the female lead learned that the male lead’s company was doing illegal business and was on the verge of bankruptcy, she realized that the male lead might kill her for money, so she found a detective and informed the situation as soon as possible. She is very alert. But when she discovered the recording, she could have borrowed to go out to buy something to call the police, but chose to dismantle it face to face and carry the pistol with her. So this is also a perfect murder for the heroine.
So the third point I want to say is that the liar painter is Xiao Bailian. If the plan is successful, then it will be a perfect murder for him. First of all, we learned from the content played on the tapes that follow: He recorded the first time the male lead talked to him, which means that regardless of whether it is successful or not, this murder plan will bring him half a million in revenue. Secondly, he clearly understood the intention of the male lead at every step and conveyed this to a third person. He not only guaranteed his wealth but also guaranteed not being involved in it, so this could be called a perfect murder.
The film can be said to end in the victory of the heroine, because she is the only survivor, but perfection does not necessarily depend on the result. The three notable characters in the film are all working hard to execute the perfect murder in their mind. I think this is the name of the film.
