It is better to remove all the scenes outside the room and leave only the expression of the drama

A movie adapted from a famous drama, but unfortunately trying to restore the scene in the drama from the mouths of the family, and lost the possibility of multiple interpretations.

As everyone's analysis (in fact, there is a consensus among the researchers of this drama), the detective came in on behalf of "God" or "Ghost", and he is carrying out a moral judgment on the entire capitalist family, so the crimes of the capitalist family are abstract. gender, but not very specific. The women he said were insulted and damaged by the whole family had different names, and they didn't see the photos together, so apart from the son's lover and the mother who refused to be rescued is undoubtedly one, are the others the same? People are inherently uncertain. However, judging from the reactions of family members, it is absolutely true that everyone participated in insulting and harming lower-class women.

Therefore, when the family members figured out that the insult and damage to one person may not necessarily lead to serious consequences that may destroy the honor of the entire family, they are relieved. Then I received a call "A woman committed suicide, the detective is on the way", and the whole situation came to an abrupt end. The woman who ended up killing herself could be one of several names mentioned in the show, or it could be another woman who was insulted or damaged by the family. At the end of this, the author has a kind of saying that he doesn't know his own guilt, "if you can escape the first day of the new year, you can't escape the fifteenth".

But once the scene is restored in the movie, the names of those women have to be played by one person as the "Detective" said, and the last "A woman commits suicide" also allows that person to reproduce "Detective". What he said in his mouth, and the "Detective" was portrayed as a character who witnessed the whole process. The "virtual" in the drama performance is replaced by "real" here, and the ingenious conception of the original drama becomes difficult to justify here.

Therefore, I think it is better to remove all the scenes outside the room and leave only the expression of the drama.

    I think this film does not contain too much logical reasoning. The "Inspector" stands on a moral high point and exerts coercion to promote the development of the plot. Five montages and "Five Sins" are connected through a round table trial. Different characters The changes in the lines at different stages are also very interesting. If there is no last 15 minutes, this might be an alternative "Murder on the Orient Express", and it is precisely because of these 15 minutes that the theme is: Treat people kindly and be with God.

    At the beginning, the capitalist father said that as long as you take care of your family and yourself, you will be fine. The inspector told him that everyone is a part of this society. Everyone is the murderer of this girl. I haven't read the original book and the drama, and I'm reversing and reversing. I'm curious. Everyone's acting is also very good. It's just that I thought at first that their brother and sister were going to incest, the younger sister was engaged, and the older brother was so jealous.
