Chasing the Murder in the White Night is the most neglected one of Nolan’s movies. Perhaps this movie does not fully reflect Nolan’s movie style, but when I watch this movie, when I follow When Al Pacino thinks together, pursues clues together, and looks for a murderer together, you will gradually be attracted by the plot of this movie. Perhaps compared to memory fragments and deadly magic, the plot of this movie is not that attractive. , But a movie is not only a storyline, watching this movie has a very important point, extreme day! Imagine that you live a life without night every day. At 12 o'clock in the night, outside is an empty town and bright sunshine. Extreme daylight will bring people a kind of fear. This fear is a sense of emptiness and loneliness. If it’s dark, no one on the street is useless. This seems normal. But imagine in broad daylight, if a person stands on the street of that empty city, for those who are not accustomed to life in extreme daylight, there will indeed be something. Kind of gloomy feeling. Like most crime movies, police detectives start with the dead body, follow various clues, and find the real murderer, but this is only one line in the movie. The other line in the movie begins with Al Pacino played by the Police Department of the Interior. The police detective’s investigation, when Al Pacino shot and killed his partner in the thick fog, the film has completely begun to form two main lines, whether Al Pacino in the movie really wanted to kill or was it because Unintentionally, he couldn't even tell him later. In my opinion, when he chose to shoot in the white fog, he might have already seen that the person might not be the murderer, because although the fog makes people invisible Clear each other’s face, but at least see a clear outline, that is, height and body shape. Al Pacino has worked with his partner for many years. He should be very familiar with the body shape of his partner. Moreover, as an excellent detective, Observation of details is indispensable. Under the circumstances at the time, by judging the silhouette of the figure, Al Pacino should be able to accurately determine that the person in the fog was his partner at the time, but he chose Shot. Killing his companion was not a well-planned conspiracy. It was just that he happened to meet his companion at that moment, so he chose to shoot. From the explanation of the movie's story, it can be seen that the policeman played by Al Pacino is a justice. A person with a sense of responsibility, a sense of responsibility, and a sense of professionalism, why did he choose to kill? It can be said that it is his temporary wrong consciousness, and it is the insomnia he committed in the daytime, the long day that interferes with his subconsciousness. The crimes hidden in the movie are not only the tortured teenager, but also Al Pacino’s shot. For patients with insomnia, they are usually listless during the day, and their judgment of things will be greatly affected. Al Pacino The police detective who played the role was stimulated by strong light, unable to fall asleep all day long, and was upset by the investigation from the Internal Affairs Bureau. With the pressure in the process of handling the case, it can be said that at that moment, his judgment had a problem. At that moment, he was not a policeman with a sense of justice, but a criminal. As he said, when he saw his partner dead, he was both nervous and relieved. What he did next was to cover it up. In fact, he even made the wrong decision again to help each other with the murderer to cover up the facts, but all this he did could not escape his conscience. After all, he was a policeman with a sense of justice, even if he lost himself for a while, But when he really sat down, controlled his emotions, and started to think, the smile of the murdered girl appeared in his mind, the calmness of the murderer after committing the crime, and the pride after he escaped the blame, he remembered that he was dead. The anger of the companions in his arms flashed in his mind one by one, daytime, bright light, insomnia, self-blame, repentance, and finally he chose to face his own mistakes. At the end, when Al Pacino was dying after the gun, she reminded the young female detective not to lose herself and not to forget her responsibilities. These two sentences are both a reminder of others and regret for what she has done. The film At the end of, the old detective was finally able to sleep in the daytime with his eyes, but this sleep was a permanent sleep. Although it is not a typical Nolan movie, Nolan still makes a thorough analysis of the psychology of the old detectives and murderers in the movie. There are a large number of psychological descriptions expressed through dialogues and actions, which can be regarded as a psychological thriller. . The film’s location was chosen in Alaska, which is rarely seen in Hollywood movies. Alaska in my mind is just a sanctuary for Indians, a barren land, but I did not expect that Alaska has beautiful scenery, peaceful towns, and all The infrastructure of the country seems to be very complete, completely different from the cold, poor, and desolate Alaska that psychologically thinks. From Batman to deadly magic, the memory fragments seen in the back and the recent white night chase, every Nolan movie is a surprise, even this atypical Nolan movie in front of me, next I All that can be done is to wait for the arrival of September 2 and go to the cinema to see the Inception Space that has been made by God in North America.
