Hidden clues

Ever since I was accidentally spoiled for "Very Suspect" in an episode of House, I have been a little bit repulsive of this film. I know the burden. Isn't it ridiculous to see the bad guy pretending to be innocent? However, the truth is that, like magic, suspenseful movies/novels can also be divided into upper, middle and lower. The worst thing is to cover up everything. The creator has all the information but does not let the audience know. At the end, a baggage is shaken out. This approach is despicable, but it can often be out of place. It makes people feel unexpectedly surprised. If this burden is unexpected and reasonable, it can be justified. Slightly better than this is the slamming. For example, in magic, various beauties and props are used to distract your attention, so that you don't pay attention to the cards drawn from the sleeve in the magician's other hand. The superior magic is to show everything in front of you, even to give you too many clues, let you get lost in the clues. So the first time I watched it, the film was definitely a tuberculosis film, and the context of the incident was too dependent on the main complaints of the characters in the play, making it difficult to keep up. But if you look at it more than once, you will find that there is a reason for the lens to be given.

Many film reviews have explained how Kint used clues on the wall to construct a story that convinced the police. But at the same time, the screenwriter and director are also playing a clue-finding game with the audience. Here are a few clues that the director left to the audience. The so-called information is always in front of you, you just don't know it.

At the beginning of the film, in the true plot of "last night", the faceless Caesar Susie walked up to Keaton, took out a lighter, lit a cigarette, and then took out a gun to kill Keaton-he used all It is left-handed, so Caesar is left-handed. The camera flashed to the point that Kint was interrogated by the customs police and handed him a lighter. He couldn't even open the lid with his right hand. He habitually helped with his left hand and the lighter fell off. In the end, Kint was released and walked out of the police station, letting go of his loosely squeezed left hand, and lightly lit the cigarette with this hand. The process of changing hands twice is a sign of Caesar's hidden identity. Of course there is the gold watch that has appeared several times.

Before Kint was interrogated by the customs police Kujan, there was a shot that lasted several seconds showing him observing the notice board in front of him. This notice board was later given close-ups several times-taken from the back of Kint's head.

When did Kint see the word "Xiao Lin" under the cup? You wouldn’t see the bottom of the cup even if you drink coffee. 25'59'', policeman Kujan stood in front of Kint drinking coffee, Kint stared at the bottom of the cup and gave a close-up.

When the group of four finally robbed the ship, the night was approaching the pier and heard the people on the ship whispering. When they asked what they were saying, Keaton said it was probably in Russian. The kid Kint couldn't help it, and said something in Hungarian. This group of people is his adversary, of course they know the origin of each other.

At 1:30:30, the police officer Kujan went crazy and forced Kint to tell the truth. Kint was anxious and leaked and said I did kill Keaton. It was just that Kujan was so emotional at the time that he didn't hear clearly, and Kint was fooled. (Let you roar! Let you roar!! You can't hear you if people confess it!!!) The

last one is from imdb: Kint is called Verbal, which means "talking a lot". And Keyser Söze's Söze is exactly the "speaking" in Turkish! In addition, the pronunciation of Keyser is similar to the pronunciation of "Kaiser" in German, and the pronunciation of Kint is similar to the pronunciation of "King" in English. So both names are "talkative kings"! When Kint talked about Keyser's background, he said that he is half Turkish and half German, so the name is also half and half.
