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.

    The heart-wrenching death of an angel is heart-wrenching. This film is the old meme of To Kill the Mockingbird, but the 15 minutes at the end of the film makes this film very different. In fact, it is not abrupt but very natural. This film has always implemented such a theme. The cruel trial always comes when you feel that everything does not matter! Like their joy and consternation when they learned the truth! Just like the war that Germany will start as mentioned by the younger son in the opening film!

    The third act is a blast! Not only did it dispel the excessively coincidental blood of the previous plot, but it also further revealed that human nature still forgets to reflect on and whitewash the bad habits of peace after questioning, and pushed this trial to a more universal level.

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.
