I have to say that the original French version has a deep connotation, and the deadly partner of the American remake is much simpler.
Look at the original French version, but you can taste a deeper connotation.
Has the heroine been kept in the dark? I don't think it's quite the case. On the train, the female protagonist took off her coat and borrowed the male protagonist's sweater as a pillow. Sweaters, in particular, absorb the smell, and it is difficult to hide from the people next to them. I think this has exposed most of the male protagonist, but the female protagonist is an undercover police officer, and her feelings for the male protagonist are complicated, so I will continue the show here.
The male protagonist also has doubts about the female protagonist's undercover identity, so he has been testing and slandering his original self. During dinner, he also said that his wife left him because the previous self was annoying. This can be said to be a test and a confession. .
In the end, when the male protagonist risked his own life to appear and reveal his true identity, he completely entrusted himself to the female protagonist and gave up the intriguing love game. But the heroine didn't show too much surprise, she was more moved and gave him two minutes to escape.
The male protagonist did not escape but handed over the black money, showing the attitude of a reformed and prodigal son, and the female protagonist did not report him.
Plastic surgery is done to the point where the lovers who have the predestined relationship do not know it. This setting is unreasonable, let alone plastic surgery. Even if the soul is attached to someone else, the closest person can detect it from some small details. So the French version is good because it doesn't try to force you to accept this setting. The connotation is actually using this setting to deduce a love story where two people are attracted to each other, but they don't trust each other, try each other, and finally give up everything and finally break the estrangement. .
So the French original is a love story, and the American remake is a spy film, with different connotations.
