The London battlefield is the writer's battlefield

The plot is all the fantasy of the writer Mark, or the film describes the painful creative process of the writer. In order to write a book, I drove myself crazy, and my personality was split. After all, this is London, and the competition for cultural people is too fierce. London has always been a battlefield for writers.

There are many places where the whole play suggests that this is a fantasy. The writer goes in and out of the heroine's house at will, the writer understands every detail, the writer watches every process by the side, and the writer keeps taking drugs to control mental illness... Finally, Mark sees The calmness at the time of the corpse, this calmness is not in line with common sense, but a writer bids farewell to the characters in his book after finishing his work.

Especially at the end, it is more clear that this is the author's fantasy, not the truth: at the end, the author gives a TV interview to introduce the new book. As a murderer who has just discovered two bodies at home, in such a big news, one of them is a peerless beauty and the other is a writer. It is exactly the same as the ending of the novel. Would the reporter not mention this murder? Looking at the state of the reporter, we know that there is no murder case at all.

In addition, for the drugs that appear repeatedly in the movie, the last drug says "dead", which is not a poison, but a deadline. The deadline is the deadline. Used to describe a writer's state of repressed anxiety pushed by a deadline.

But it doesn't matter whether all of this is fantasy, because the "real" content of all novels or movies is the "fantasy" of the author, except for documentaries and other documentary genres. Finally, quoting the confession that appeared many times in the film: "After all, in this era, no one cares about the truth."
