The original novel is called "Summer Desolation: Nazi Adept". The adaptation of the film does not fully show Todd and Dushande, an outstanding student’s self-degeneration and an elderly Nazi officer who regained his heart for decades. Of evil. At the beginning of the film, the encounter between Todd and Dushande restored the signs "No hawkers and salesmen are allowed" posted by the newspaper and the door. Du Shande wanted to call the police to scare away Todd's dialogue performance also showed his cowardice at that moment. The movie does not use the "moon" as the time node as in the novel to show that Todd is too obsessed with those dark histories and exacerbates his fall in the dark and Du Shande is gradually out of control of being stimulated by Todd, from killing cats to killing Drunkard. The psychological game between Todd and Dushande in the movie is relatively poor. Their threats to each other only create the impulse of losing control of each other's next step, and do not reflect the deeper psychological impact.
When Todd asked Dushand to put on the Nazi uniform again, Ian McLean’s performance was just like the resurrection of the Nazi commander who "saluted" and "stepped forward". The demon of erosion.
After Dushande was discovered, the FBI detective who was investigating Todd only went through the process without thinking about it. The loopholes in Todd's words were fixed. The ending is not as it should be. Todd threatens to leave Edward with the tone that Dushande once threatened. But from his basketball actions and the tone and manner of speech, he will not stop. He has fallen into depravity. At the end of the novel, Todd raised his shotgun and shouted at the blue sky: "I am the master of the world." In the end, Still be taken down.
The evil in a person's heart cannot defeat righteous thoughts after all.
