Some things will stay in your memory

Warning: If you haven't watched this movie, if you are interested, don't watch any spoilers, you won't be disappointed.

I watched this movie more than ten years ago, and I was still in junior high school at that time. A teenage child usually comes into contact with things that are "politically correct" and "ideologically advanced". The American films shown on TV are either Western gunfights like "Red Dead Redemption" or musicals like "Furong on the Water". In short, they have simple plots and perfect endings. And a silent night, because of this film, has become an eternal trace in memory.
At that time, cable television services had just started, and domestically produced programs were far from meeting the demand for viewing. The imported movies, TV, cartoons and entertainment programs accounted for a considerable proportion, so there will always be some that are difficult to meet the current standards. The film that is shown will be played-such as "The Barber Todd", it is estimated that the film will not be able to pass the rule of the radio and television. That day was Saturday, and I was free to control the night time, so I met this film.
At the beginning, when I saw the heroine Marilyn meet her boyfriend, I thought it was a love movie, but my instinct told me that a romantic movie would never start like this. Soon, Marilyn stole the boss's money and ran away. Accompanied by the tense atmosphere, she has been driving the car nervously, worrying about every policeman who passes by, and I pretend to wonder if such a beautiful and kind girl has become a criminal in this way. Fortunately, after the battle between heaven and man, Marilyn finally decided to stay in a small hotel overnight and surrender. But that night, she was brutally stabbed to death by a dark figure who broke into the bathroom.
For the first time, I know that a movie can kill the heroine in one-third of the time, can let the savvy detective run the corpse, can play with the audience in
this way ... Such a movie, if you jump to watch , I am afraid it will be completely incomprehensible. The twists and turns of the plot are second. As far as I am concerned, when I am reading or watching a movie, I always make predictions about the future development of the story based on the known information, and I have expectations about what will be told in the next step, but the movie always It failed my guess, and the development of the situation is often unexpected.
I think the characteristic of an excellent suspense film is that the audience always seems to know a little bit more information than the people in the play, but it is only a little bit more, and even this more is often paradoxical, and often the audience only discovers the original in the end. I am the one who is kept in the dark.
A ten-year-old child was attracted by the confusing story and watched it all night. I had an unprecedented insomnia that night.
I can't forget the sober and sensitive Norman when I met Marilyn, the ambiguous peephole, the brutal murder in the bathroom, two cars slowly sinking into the swamp...
