The daughter and son-in-law who went on a trip were brutally murdered in their apartment in London, England. With the appearance of mysterious postcards, bizarre murders occurred one after another in Europe and the United States. As a New York police detective, the father pursued the murderer across the country and faced the complicated case. , the cunning and cruel murderer, can he stop this bloody killing?

Today, Doudou and everyone will take a look at the suspenseful crime film "Postcard Killing " adapted from the best-selling novel of the same name by James Patterson and Lisa Marklund. What kind of story is told? What is the criminal mind of the murderer?

Cannon, a New York police detective who has worked in the industry for more than 30 years, has regarded his daughter as his pride since he divorced his ex-wife. Recently, a piece of news from the London police broke him and his ex-wife. The newly married daughter and son-in-law were traveling in London on their honeymoon, but they did not expect to be brutally murdered in their London apartment.

The murderer's criminal methods were extremely cruel, the death of the son-in-law was horrific, and the severed arm of the daughter disappeared. There were neither fingerprints nor footprints of the murderer at the crime scene, and it seems that it is not easy to chase the murderer without clues.

Afterwards, local reporters in several European and American countries received a mysterious postcard with a sentence about love written on it. Every time the postcard appeared, bizarre murders would happen, and the deceased were young couples who were traveling.

In the face of many difficulties, police detective Kanon pursued the murderer across the country. He and Daisy, a female reporter from Stockholm, Sweden, found that the murderer was not alone but a couple. The murderer was imitating a famous art painting or artwork to commit crimes. of artwork.

In the end, with the cooperation of the police in various countries, the murderer was identified as a young couple in the United States, the girl's name is Marina and the boy's name is Mike. But by investigating their family backgrounds, it was found that their father Simon had been jailed for fraud, and the whistleblower was 15-year-old son Mike. What is even more surprising is that Marina and Mike are actually siblings.

This pair of siblings were unfortunately born in a special family. Their father, Simon, was paranoid and perverted. He taught them to pursue perfection, endless learning, and not give them any freedom to play. time.

This was originally a very common family education problem, but because of the existence of the father, the wife hanged herself, which distorted the psychology of the siblings. After Simon was imprisoned, they began to incest, and even murdered them in the form of so-called art, in order to take revenge on their father, take revenge on the society, and make the world recognize their sibling relationship.

The final ending of the movie is puzzling to the audience. In the ice and snow, Mike was shot and killed by Canon, while his sister Marina escaped and made a phone call to Simon, the father in prison. It seems that the director wants to make a sequel, but it is a bit far-fetched that this does not conform to the logic of reality.

In the first half of the whole film "Postcard Killing", the director used an interlude method to let us see the appearance of the two murderers in advance, thus confusing the audience, which made the audience think that the seemingly harmless Marina and Mike are Canon's daughter and son-in-law. The tattooed couples who travel together and play together are the murderers of the massacre.

It was not until the tragic death of the tattooed couple, the identity of the murderer and their family background were dug out, that the audience suddenly realized that the repeated reversals of the middle plot were very brilliant, but the ending made the film less points.

In the end, the director put the cause of this tragedy on the issue of family education. Although Canon divorced his ex-wife, his daughter did not lack fatherly and motherly love. After his daughter was killed, his father, Kanon, desperately pursued the murderer across the country and wanted to give an explanation to his dead daughter and son-in-law.

On the other hand, the Simon family, Simon pursues perfection too much for his children. He let the children attend art exhibitions and listen to lectures. As a result, the two children and the wife were out of breath, and the wife committed suicide and the two children's psychological distortion went astray.

Is it difficult to be a child? The answer is hard, but ruining a child is easy. Pampering will destroy a child, but too strict requirements, too much pursuit of perfection, and too much hope for a child to become a dragon and a daughter to become a phoenix will also destroy a child.

Talking about this topic can not help but remind people of last year's phenomenon-level hit drama "Little Joy". In the play, Song Qian played by Tao Hong is very good, a gold medal lecturer, an annual income of one million, and a very good cooking skills, but most children do not I would want such a mother, because she is too controlling, and living with her is too depressing.

In her eyes, her daughter Qiao Yingzi is only excellent if she gets the first place in the exam, and the best outcome is only when she gets admitted to Tsinghua University and Peking University. She was afraid that her daughter's grades would decline, and she was afraid that her daughter would be "broken" by her father. Her high pressure directly led to her daughter wanting to commit suicide by jumping into the sea.

In many cases, it is not the problem with the family education concept, but the parents themselves. They turn their anxiety into a little bit of life, infiltrating around the child until the child becomes as vulnerable and anxious as the parents, or more. very.

Parents should not use their children's people to make up for their regrets in life. Every child has their own life to go, and don't let their anxiety become a "life reminder" for their children.
