"End of the Tunnel" detailed inventory

Giles 2022-01-18 08:01:52

The whole film has a clear logic and a lot of foreshadowing, so what happens later is dramatic but reasonable, and I like it better. Unfortunately, there are fewer reversals, not enough suspense, and the degree of excitement is greatly reduced. It's quite satisfactory, it doesn't count in any aspect, and it makes people unable to fault.

Summary of the story:

A group of robbers conspired to steal the bank vault, so they chose the man’s house next door as the location of the crime, digging a tunnel directly to the bottom of the vault. In order not to expose before committing the crime, arrange for the female protagonist to stay in the man’s house (the house just happened to have a vacant room for rent) to monitor the man. The Lord’s behavior, everyone knows that the male lead is a technical house, and his psychological quality is surprisingly good. He soon discovered their plan and decided to take a share of it to improve his life. The love-hate entanglement between the Lords finally cracked down on crime and returned the beautiful woman he embraced.

The pre-laying is slightly procrastinated

The whole film took nearly an hour to do the preliminary laying, just to make the fight between the hero and the robbers more reasonable, the details of the control, to portray the characters, to bury a lot of foreshadowings, and to show the inside of the criminal gang. The disunity, from the beginning because of the cell phone killing an accomplice, the conversation between the two tunnels, the left-hander lost his watch, when stealing money, subconsciously aiming at the accomplice and some subtle camera expressions. These plots make the rhythm of the entire film become very slow, sacrifice the degree of excitement, and the logic is even more brilliant.

The conversations between mother and son at the beginning, scattered books, the male protagonist repairing machines, and the trophy in the basement were all set up for Joaquin’s academic masters, and also showed the male protagonist’s lonely life, which was made for the dependent female protagonist’s mother and daughter. Good foreshadowing. A lot of stories are also used to inform the audience about the love between the hero and the heroine and the rationality of the heroine's rebellion.

Overall relatively plain

The climax was mainly when I started stealing the bank. It felt very comfortable to watch the details I noticed in the early stage play a role here, but the plot itself was relatively plain. It’s as if the screenwriter had planned everything in the early stage, and the subsequent plots were taken for granted. The overall plot is too straightforward, there is no suspense, there is no reversal, and it affects the perception too.

The following is a detailed inventory of my own sorting out, including spoilers, it is recommended to discuss after watching the movie

The final ending is somewhat dramatic and heartwarming. The bad guys are all over, and the good guys live a happy life.
