Prisoner trapped in a maze

The depressive scenes throughout, the slightly slow plot rhythm, the flaws are not concealed, the theme of the film is always the same: when the accident strikes, everyone is occupied by their own inner demons, and the anger cannot be vented. This is afraid. The biggest prisoner.

I personally think that this film does not involve any religious colors, but just reflects the faces of all beings who suddenly face the maze of dilemmas-prisoners.

The story should go like this: On
Thanksgiving Day, Dover and his son went out hunting. Before his son shot and hunted deer, Mr. Dover prayed and thanked God for giving them food and life. He believed in God, he followed the guidance his father gave him, and he was prepared.
After that, the family of four, he and his wife, eldest son and little daughter, took the hunted venison and went to friends Franklin's family as guests to spend Thanksgiving together. The Franklin family is also four people, mom, dad, elder sister and youngest daughter. Dover's youngest daughter and Franklin's youngest daughter wanted to go out to play, and Dover agreed to let them go out together with their brother and sister. On the way, they kicked the ice and saw an RV caravan. The two girls were curious. The little girl in Dover even climbed onto the rear ladder of the caravan, but was stopped in time by her brother and hugged it back. The brother and sister saw that the RV was not vacant, and there were people inside.
After the meal, the two little girls again proposed to go to Dover's house to play, looking for the red whistle that Dover's little girl had dropped. The adults joked to them that if you sing a Jinggo bell, let you go. The girls sang the song in a hurry and left without notifying the older brothers and sisters in the other room to accompany them. Then, the story really began.

Two little girls are missing. The two parents and family members searched together, but to no avail and mixed feelings, the little girl's brother remembered the strange RV, so Dover called the police. The lonely detective Loki heard the wireless call and answered the police. When multiple policemen blocked the RV at the same time, the person in the RV suddenly drove into the woods in an attempt to escape, and he became a key suspect of the police.

However, after interrogation, the key suspect Alex did not reveal any substantive clues, and the police regarded his drive to the woods as the direction of the disappearance of the two girls and tried their best to search. Dover believes that Alex has a major suspicion, because according to the clues given by his son, the person who finally came into contact with the two girls was the man who drove the RV. He asked the police to detain him for an extra day, but Loki refused. With the appearance of Alex, Loki discovered that he was just a mentally handicapped child whose IQ was only 10 years old, and there was no sign of fighting or two girls being kidnapped in the RV. So, after 48 hours, Alex was acquitted, and his guardian, the old woman, took him for a meeting. It is worth noting here that before the release, the old woman was teaching Alex to sign like a child, and when he wrote down the name, she said GOOD JOB. There was nothing suspicious at first. Alex's IQ was only that of a 10-year-old child, and his ability to write is already remarkable. But when the ending came out, I instantly felt that this old woman’s "good intentions" was really shuddering... When

Alex was released, Dover, who was looking for the two little girls in the bushes, received a call from his wife and said Alex After being acquitted and released from the police, he suddenly became angry, and went back in a racing car and confronted Alex, who was being released from the police station. In the chaos, only Dover and Alex were left. When the old woman was pushed away, Alex said to Dover: "They didn't cry until they left me." And that was the sentence, almost It established Dover's affirmation that Alex was the criminal who abducted his daughter. The commotion caused by Dover was quickly subdued, and the police did not think that Alex said this to Dover, or that he did not take Dover's words seriously, so Dover was dissatisfied with the police's inaction. The polygraph test started after reporting the case to their husband and wife, and the concentration broke out until now. He decided not to wait for the police's inaction and did it himself.

At the same time, Loki, who had no clue, began to investigate door-to-door, and found a long-dead corpse in the basement with a labyrinth necklace in the priest's house. However, it was impossible to determine the information about the corpse, and Loki did not connect the corpse to the disappearance of the two girls. And the priest kept saying: "He is declaring war on God." At this moment, it makes no sense to Loki.

Here, when Dover decided to act on his own, poor Alex was followed. When he was out walking the dog at night, Dover saw that he had done some abusive behavior to the dog and hummed Jingo happily. Bell’s melody—it’s the song that two little girls sang on Thanksgiving Day. In fact, seeing this, I thought Alex was the murderer for a while, and many suspicions were directed at him. So Dover did not kidnap Alex. Poor Alex. Throughout the whole show, I think the most innocent and most innocent person is Alex... When he was kidnapped and abused by an old woman, he was kidnapped and abused by Dover when he grew up. Its extremely. Nima, this is so unlucky...
It is worth mentioning that when Dover decided to lynch Alex, before driving, the content broadcast in the car was also part of the Bible. He was born guilty... just like that. Like the prayer before his son shot and hunted deer, Dover felt that his decision was right and he could not wait for the police to solve the case. What's more, the police released the most important suspect.

In the almost inhuman torture, Alex never said anything of value or meaning. Dover called Franklin who had the same experience, and the two tortured Alex together. Franklin did not agree with Dover's approach, but he could not refute Dover. On the other hand, he also hoped that his daughter could be found as soon as possible, so he became Dover's accomplice. But he didn't agree with this practice of using lynching in his heart, and finally after the heavy pressure, he confessed to his wife. So, the Franklins went to see the unrecognizable Alex who had been beaten together. In the meantime, Mrs. Franklin loosened Alex softly, but she did not expect that the latter broke the glass window and tried to escape. Of course, after being suppressed by Dover, it failed. This made the Franklins more or less believe that Alex was guilty. So, after they drove home, Mrs. Franklin said to her husband, we will not stop Dover or help him, let him do what he wants to do.

During Franklin's psychological struggle, he said to Dover: You are not sure that Alex is the murderer, you just look at what you want to see. Indeed, when Dover was faced with such a dilemma, he was occupied by his own inner demons, and his anger could not be vented, and he became the biggest prisoner. And the appearance of Alex has undoubtedly become the point of venting the anger caused by the fear, anger, ... and so on in Dover's heart.

Here I want to say, is it that Dover is the only prisoner trapped in the labyrinth because it is occupied by the heart demon and cannot vent the anger in his heart? Obviously not, all the characters in the play are more or less imprisoned, including the Franklins.

If Franklin really thinks Dover's approach is wrong, why doesn't he stop it? He acquiesced and became an accomplice. Isn't he a prisoner who was occupied by the inner demons and confused? His wife didn’t agree with Dover’s behavior, but she told her husband that we don’t know about such a thing. Let it go. It’s a wise way to protect ourselves...
Between good and evil, although the Franklins cannot be criticized for their behavior. , In fact, it is no different from Dover and the old woman and his wife. It is just an act of action, a venting of self-deception, and a self-deception of indulgence.

The society's attention to the missing girl case has caused the public to gather to pray for the two families. Loki found one of the strangers and followed him, but he finally escaped. Loki then pointed the suspect at the man and finally arrested him, Bob.

In Bob’s apartment, he was found Many black boxes. I would have thought I saw some horrible scenes of stumps, but what appeared was bloody clothing and snakes, as well as the maze picture in the black box at the end.

Obviously, this Bob is also a pervert, buying children's clothes, sprinkling pig blood, raising snakes, and obsessed with the maze. Of course, Loki didn't get any clues from his mouth, this pervert just kept drawing the maze, and finally committed suicide by drinking a gun under pressure. For this, Loki felt a deep frustration. The police leader persuaded Loki, the police are also human, let it go, give up...
Let it go...
But, just as Loki waved his temper away from the desk. It was accidentally discovered that the maze pattern that perverted Bob had been drawing was the same as the maze necklace on the corpse found in the basement of the priest’s house... On the

Dover side, after continuous no progress, Dover was about to be lost. patience. He knelt on his knees and prayed devoutly to God. After seeing this, everyone should have understood. After that, Mr. Dover will definitely make some extraordinary actions after he prayed. Yes, then, he began to torture poor Alex.
In the meantime, Alex said intermittently when praying in Dover that he was not Alex, and Maze. But Mr. Dover did not take it seriously. Dover's incomprehension of the labyrinth led him to the old woman, and he wanted to get more from the old woman about the labyrinth that Alex said.

Loki and Dover are actually very similar. What they see is what they want to see, but often, what they ignore and dramatize is the right direction to the exit of the maze.

After putting so many voltage lines, finally, the last clue came. Joy was found, and the daughter of the Franklins was found. Joy said to
Dover , you were there. In an instant, Dover understood that the old woman's house was the only answer. However, he did not tell the police or anyone that he went to the old woman's house alone. Loki, on the other hand, thought that Dover was doing things like injuring Alex or jumping over the wall. The two went on two different roads.

Dover is right, the old woman is the ultimate murderer, kidnapping, and abuse of children. But he failed to rescue Anna, instead he was imprisoned by the old woman. Loki rescued Alex, who was imprisoned and abused by Dover. When he reported to Alex's so-called aunt and the old woman, he discovered the evil deeds of the old woman, rescued Anna, and rushed to the hospital.

In fact, since Alex was kidnapped and disappeared in Dover, and the old woman as her only relative did not report to the police or report in time, the suspicion of the old woman is the greatest. This is unreasonable.

After the death of her own son, the old woman and her husband committed evil together, kidnapping children, infusing them with drugs, and imprisoning them. Among these children, there are Alex, Bob, Anna, Joy... The

old woman and his wife are the first maze. , And those who were forced into it by them were also trapped in a maze. When we were faced with a sudden predicament, our hearts were occupied by fearful demons, and our anger could not be vented, and we became the biggest prisoners ever since.
