I haven't watched Instinct 1 and found many criticisms on the Internet. I can't compare the two films, but as far as Instinct 2 alone is concerned, it still gives me a touch of shock. The film tells the story of a middle-aged female writer (played by Sharon) who finds a psychologist for psychotherapy. The psychologist has always suspected that the woman writer is a murderer, but the psychologist gradually loses herself in constant contact and communication, and then has a complicated relationship with the doctor. The doctor who died one after another, wandering between reality and lies, missed and killed the policeman at the last moment, but he was exempted from prosecution because he was found to have a mental problem....
As a thriller film, Instinct 2 made a bold attempt: put aside the suspense. In fact, many suspense movies that I have watched recently did not break the suspense until the end of the film, such as the perfect stranger, and the missing baby that just watched, etc. The recent suspense films also succeeded in keeping the suspense until the end, but this Most of the movies have wonderful endings, and when you know the ending, you lose interest in the movie. But Instinct 2 solved this suspense at the beginning of the film: After the female writer drove into the water, she escaped in an elegant and calm state, leaving behind the black star who was found in danger but unable to return to the sky. At least for me, seeing this I conclude that the female writer is the killer. The ingenious thing about the film is that although you are sure that the female writer is the killer, as the plot develops you will continue to deny yourself, affirm this conclusion, and then negate this conclusion. ………………, so back and forth, in fact, the female writer is a murderer, there is no suspense, the movie has been reminding the audience throughout the film, but the audience will gradually fall into Sharon's fornication with the emotional and rational changes of the psychologist. Set in the trap. It seemed that I was the helpless psychiatrist, and it seemed that I was more sensible than the psychiatrist, and it seemed that I was more confused than the doctor. The film interprets a suspense-free story to the point that a sensible person gives up reason and chooses sensibility. The director cleverly loads all kinds of intricate and powerful relationships to the psychologist's side, letting him go and stay, and finally fall into The trap of Sharon's fornication, in my opinion, this movie is more like a tutorial: a hypnosis or tutorial.
Besides the actors, everyone on the Internet critics said that Sharon is very old in the film. I have not seen her instinct 1. I can't imagine her charming and sexy when she was young, but as far as this movie is concerned, I feel Sharon’s performance. It's the upper echelon. Sharon plays the role of a writer, a successful person with rich experience, evil, rational and temptation instinct. If this role is to find a female star in her early 20s and a devil-shaped angel-faced actress, it is a bit wrong. This female writer must be mature, experienced, and good at playing with men and stocks. Sharan has this potential. In spite of the wrinkles, Sharon shows her sexy to the fullest through her eyes and soft movements. If a young beauty is required to play this role, I am afraid that the psychologist will stay in the stage of one-night stand for the writer and will not be confused. The psychiatrist also performed very well. His hesitant eyes and incoherent words reflected the brilliance of the female writer.
At the end of the film, the female writer came to the psychiatric hospital to visit the doctor, and brought him her new book (based on the real experience of the psychologist, in the novel the psychologist is the murderer), everything is in her grasp, but in the end the doctor The smile on the corner of my mouth shocked me again, could it be...?
