Usual Suspects, Unusual Suspense

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.

Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you?
Keaton: What did you say?
Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus.

Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
