It turns out that the detective is the "pope"

Only at the end did I realize that Detective STAN was the Pope Innocent in the eyes of the criminals, who possessed authority, but was too cold and unapproachable. Even though the criminal had been shot and fell to the ground, when he saw the perfect Pope Innocent he had created in his mind, a smile appeared from the corner of his mouth.
Several killing scenes in the whole film are full of real violent aesthetics. I really don't understand why foreigners have such perverted killers.
In terms of the plot, I have to say that the director did not explain clearly in many places, so that people could not find clues. It can be said that the two detectives finally found the criminals by chance: STAN found the criminals in the photos occasionally, and then came to the final scene under the guidance of the criminals; while the other was occasionally discovered from the reflection of the metal teacup The clues...the so-called ANAMORPHOSIS in art (gradientism)

Anamorph quotes

  • Stan: [lecturing to class] Don't be seduced. Avoid psychological speculation related to the killer's intent. We may never know why he did what he did. He may never know. Treat the boundaries of the crime scene like a frame, and limit your analysis to what is presented within it. Sit with it, don't rush things, and above all, in your initial encounter with the crime scene, trust your own eye. Remember, all you really have is what the killer left behind - his work, his aesthetic, if you will.

  • Stan: I used to touch things all the time when I'm down.

    Sandy Strickland: That's why you're good at what you do.
