Almost all suspense films follow a principle, and the most inconspicuous is often the murderer. At some point in the past few years, there were so many plots of movies and TV series that were similar to putting people together and then looking for the real murderer, so that as soon as you saw the relevant plot, you could judge the ending. Although this movie is also looking for the truth, it has a lot of technical skills. The movie uses intermittent narrative techniques. During the interrogation process, Kint played by Kevin Spacey, he narrates the plots of the past one by one. But what is the truth? When it seems to be inferred that Keat is Kelyser Soze based on Kint's narrative, it turns out that Kint's narrative is completely fabricated, Kobayashi on the bottom of the teacup, Quarted, Skokie, IL... Redfood, etc., all of these were completely fabricated by Kint during the interrogation process. He tells you, these are all for those simple-minded Cops to listen to. It's amazing. This is also the essence of this movie.

    Watching a movie, picking is very important to time! -2012.10.11 —— Sometimes, even if I pick the right time, it may not make me like a well-recognized masterpiece. Finally, with my own efforts, I learned about the ins and outs of the case. Nevertheless, the plot of the story still made me feel a little boring. Even if I made a special sleep in order to prevent sleepiness again while watching the movie, it did not stop me from taking a nap. -2013.12.06 @中国电影 Archive revisited
