Everyone has a dark side.

There are no classes at school recently, and I am the only one in the dormitory.
After early morning, I lay in bed and watched this movie.
First of all, thank you for the name I saw is "The Dark Side" instead of "Man in the Mirror".
The movie name spoiler or something is the most annoying.
Just as "Orphans Complaint" was translated into "The Girl Who Were Not Grown Up", it was completely lost.
This film has brought me a big surprise, even if it is not a suspense fan, I will applaud this film.



The front of the movie is a little bit of meat, and the rhythm of the plot in the back is quite well grasped. It is compact without losing the characteristics of the suspense film, and it is also interspersed with symphony and romance.
The atmosphere created in the bathroom is also just right. It didn't reveal that there was a third person in the room. Instead, I thought it was Fabiana's subjective mindset. The old suspense fan might think that this is a movie with a female protagonist.


"The dark side", every character in the play has a dark side.
First of all, the landlord’s wife. Popularized the Nazis. The landlord and his wife were former German Nazis. Later, they were sheltered by Colombia to live in this house. They built the secret room to avoid hunting, although neither of them used it in the end. That secret room, but there are a lot of relics from the Nazis of the past crimes, so the landlord’s wife said that she didn’t want to stay in that room because it reminded her of the many hurtful things she had done. She told Fabiana’s husband It is of course a fake that it is an engineer. This is the dark side of the landlord. In the end, I received a call saying that the landlord’s wife was dead. It should be that she was assassinated when she returned to Germany.
Fabiana, many people should like this beautiful woman. When she discovered the secret behind the mirror, I really squeezed my sweat. I really hope that she can save Belen, but I know very clearly that the plot will not Develop like you imagine. Do you want to say that she is just for love, for the exclusive use of Adrian? The detective said, Fabiana, you finally got your wish and found a rich man. Material needs also constitute her dark side. It was not until later that she saw pictures of Adrian and the fiddler that she decided to open the secret room, because she realized that even without Belem, she might not have really got Adrian.
Belen, how eager to be rescued, but Fabiana actually made her lose all hope at the last moment. She could only pretend to be dead and wait for the day when the secret room was opened. She could not easily forgive this woman, so she finally stunned Fabiana and locked her up.
Adrian is typically tall, handsome and rich. He loves Belem, but he has to look for a mistress outside. This kind of man is very typical. He can't hold his own intestines and loves a woman deeply, but he changes his heart too fast, I I think he was also in love with Fabiana afterwards.


Everyone has a dark side, but everyone also has good intentions.
Why does the landlord’s wife not stay in Colombia to return to Germany? On the one hand, she misses her hometown; on the other hand, she may want to go back and accept condemnation.
Fabiana also opened the secret room instead of turning it into an eternal secret.
Belen left the photo and the key when she left. If she really wanted to kill Fabiana, she could take the key, and she even left a photo for Adrian.
Adrian finally said goodbye to the fiddler, and didn't want to continue this kind of smuggling activities.


The ending is an open ending, and no one knows whether Fabiana will die in the end.
Maybe she is dead, because Adrian is far from being as smart as Fabiana to discover the secrets of the room, not to mention Fabiana moved the bedroom to another room, except for the dog, no one should know that she is behind the mirror. Adrian must not have a good life next, the detective said that if Fabiana disappears, he will definitely not be let go.
Or she didn't die, because Belem was already on the list of missing persons, she would definitely be discovered when she left the country, and all the truth would be revealed once asked. But this looks more like a bug in the movie.


No matter where the protagonists will go, I think that human nature can always defeat love and make love become ugly and sinful, but love can never defeat humanity.
