The movie is good, but as far as this is concerned, the movie cannot become a classic. It is not an actor's business. Charlize Theron's dedicated acting skills saved the suspenseful and explosive films that were not yet popular.
"The Dark Place" narrated the family tragedy in 1985 with a prologue that resembles a vague image stored on a video tape over the years. The surviving daughter Libby reported that her brother Bann was the murderer, and the elder brother was imprisoned. The younger sister described the case by publishing it in her name. Book royalties, and collect good donations to survive. Time is a good medicine for pain, and it is also a cold current of indifferent enthusiasm. When the man told her that there were hundreds of dollars in the account, she was a little panicked. At this time, the murder club member Lyle approached her to investigate the childhood murder case, but she asked for water. Find out the real culprit.
The place where Libby and Lyle meet is not a café or bar hidden in the back streets of the city, but a laundromat with plenty of light. The woman walked hurriedly into the shop. The owner Lyle played the "House of the Dead" video game. He heard the sound of women's shoes on the floor. He looked back, put down the operating controller with both hands, and quickly reached forward. Say hello, Libby panicked at the man’s enthusiasm and told him not to touch her body with his hands, and told him to stay away! Libby didn’t believe in people, because she was used to donating money from enthusiastic but strangers when she was a child. Selling the [autobiography] book that earned people tears to win the sympathy of others to buy, she didn't need to attend the book press conference, and she sat upright and shook hands and signed the guests. She received the money at home to pay for daily expenses. She was numb. She is kind, doesn't know people's likes and dislikes, and lives in the gloomy and misty atmosphere of seeing her mother last time in her dreams. If the mountains and rivers are not exhausted, how could she be so quick to ask for her breath?
She received money from her employer Lyle, her mood was a little calm, and her livelihood was dawning. She treated Lyle with a mentality of earning money from intelligence. She was out of touch with society, because of her inaccessible personality and it was not easy to find a job. Her family tragedy in her heart was one-sided. Secrets, the public, like members of a murder club, are willing to buy Libby’s nightmare, who is not willing to return to billions, and are quite engaged in role-playing and members who want the truth. Of course, the sharp question and answer conference naturally cannot ask the question, the subject is not the object. Happy and scattered.
Libby closed the window of his heart for a long time, and opened it slightly when she met her brother in prison as a sister and a survivor. However, the elder brother's hidden, hesitant attitude made the younger sister fall into the puzzle group. The brother's answer to the younger sister was not what he asked, and his dialogue was really exciting!
In order to relieve the audience’s doubts, the character said something that made the other party very puzzled. He immediately confessed what happened to them in the year that the incident occurred. However, the character disclosed the fragments of the case based on their personal experience at the time. Those pieces of fragments did not affect the situation of my role as well. I am not nervous about what will happen to Libi. Those images of adults and children that are constantly shuttled just make me even more anxious and want to know the result earlier; furthermore, The movie mirror is too narrow. The indoor scene can be said to be a calm and calm surface gathering family members, but secretly, it is a wave of thoughts. However, the location is also so close that it is suppressed, and cannot liberate the compassionate theme of forgiving others.
