I like the arrangement of the beginning and end of the film, very clever. At the beginning of the film, a strange man came to this town by train, but at the end he became another protagonist in the film-the old man took the train to leave this place, which really means a stranger. The Chinese name is well translated, which is a metaphor for the meaning of "Mo Lu Tonggui". The English name of the film "MAN ON THE TRAIN" actually means "man on the move". Although this film is a tragic ending, the two died almost at the same time, but the ending arranged by the director gave the audience unlimited imagination. (Although the body is dead, the soul is still there) the killer man held the key to the old teacher’s house and stayed in Live a comfortable life here, but the old teacher left here to take risks.
The layout of the film is clever, lamenting that life is full of helplessness, and the two protagonists have to realize their desire after death. Perhaps this is also a good ending.
I want to emphasize the director’s ingenious setting at the end of this article, which makes people feel that these two men are strangers. The old teacher threw the key to his house to the killer in the distance. The killer and the old teacher are facing each other. , Separated by a road, and then the two walked over to each other, passing by without looking at each other, the two were equal to swapping positions. I think the setting here is suggestive and metaphorical. It's amazing!
I like the actor who plays the killer. I heard that he is a famous French rock singer, but unfortunately he didn't pay attention to the name. He has a sense of vicissitudes and is full of masculine charm.
The narrative of this film is really simple and pure. Two men, one drama, one small town, only tells the story that happened in three days, but it completely changed their lives!
