I don’t understand, look at the human psychology analysis (serious spoilers)

Let me talk about the advantages and disadvantages of the movie first! Advantage 1: The main protagonists compete in acting skills, almost no fault, Hugh no longer has to carry the savage and action baggage of "Wolverine", and there is more a man's delicacy and perseverance to the family; Jack is also a big explosion, almost all Forget the shy-looking big boy in "Brokeback Mountain"; some people say that Terrence is a soy sauce in it, yes, but from the character shaping of the character, this soy sauce is absolutely successful; as a newcomer, Paul The performance in front of the big names is not inferior at all, because in the front of the film, almost many people will be taken away by his performance, and this is his success. Advantage 2: The logic of the story is basically no problem, the explanation is relatively clear, and people who understand it can basically connect together. Disadvantage 1: Some of the previous part is too long. It takes 2 and a half hours for a single step. Even if you don't consider the production cost and viewing time, from the compactness of the story, I personally think that it is 120 minutes at most.

In fact, the progress of the story has been around two clues, one is Keller's perseverance, and the other is Loki's own investigation. Both clues are meaningful, and both ultimately point to the murderer. There is no need to compare Keller and Rocky who is better, because they are completely different positions. Let's interpret it a little bit.
Keller saved people in a straight line: alex-aunt-joy-aunt, only to figure out the situation the second time. Because in the middle, he still has to face peek-a-boo with the police.
Rocky is a curve to ask for help: alex-uncle-taylor-aunt, and finally find the connection point through taylor's maze painting and the maze on Uncle's body. But there is a coincidence. Luo basically just wanted to inform Aunt, Alex found it, but accidentally discovered that the male corpse was an uncle, and everything was solved.

Let's analyze it from the characters.

Rocky made three preconceived mistakes based on the intuition of the police: 1. He believed that the priest was a sodomy, and he couldn't believe what he said. In fact, he said a very important clue: "He has a family." This family is an aunt, but even if Rocky traces this clue, he can't find anything, because the information feedback of the investigation said that the information about the corpse should be checked. Less than. 2. The sympathy for children with intellectual disabilities, of course, is out of the need for humanity and his logical reasoning (a ten-year-old child with IQ cannot achieve all this). But he did not continue to investigate why ALex would drive, starting from his family, but there is such a powerful Aunt, he really can't find anything. But he also followed the wrong person. 3. The stereotype of Keller. He thought he was Taylor's reckless and retaliatory character, and he might make up words that were not good for Alex. Therefore, when Alex disappeared, he didn't hesitate to suspect Keller. It is the characteristics of the person that Loki has: preconceivedness, stereotypes, and skepticism that enrich this character, all of which are reasonable. Some people wondered what Rocky would choose in the final choice between justice and love, and whether he would save Kyler. In fact, this is a self-evident answer. His principle, justice and kindness will definitely put Keller out of "prison". Even if he believes that Keller is not a bad person, he has seen it in the process of searching for his daughter. Everything this man is carrying. He may have also suspected that Keller would flee because of evading legal responsibility...

Is Keller a good person? Many people are arguing. Personally, there is no doubt. There are three reasons: 1. When he hurt Alex, he never used a hammer, because he couldn't be cruel so far; 2. When he boiled hot water to burn Alex, he left helpless and sad tears, and he was helpless. Kneeling on the ground and praying to God (this is a very interesting phenomenon, I will analyze it at the end); 3. Attitude to aunt. When I went to see her for the first time, I was very polite and cautious. In his eyes, she was just an innocent, poor old man, even if she came here with the purpose of testing the "maze". This is another preconception. Old people are always weak and the object of sympathy, but never thought that the dark heart is often hidden under the most imperceptible skin; the second time he went to Alex's house, he was already suspicious, but innocent. He put the pistol in his toolbox because he thought that his girl's kidnapping had nothing to do with the old man. It was all caused by "sympathy", so he could only be caught obediently in the end. Some people say that Keller is impulsive and brainless. This must be a misunderstanding. He knows that Alex’s behavior is not unreasonable, because Alex gave a lot of key information (the first sentence of dialogue, dog abuse, and the nursery rhyme after changing the word). He only He could start from him, but he couldn't predict that Alex was not only not a murderer, but also a poor victim.

Speaking of Alex, the word poor can't express the degree. He is the son of the interviewee who disappeared 26 years ago. He has been frightened and intimidated since he was a child. Although his IQ stays at ten years old, he has not forgotten who he is. So he was tortured. He said that I am not. Alex, I just wanted to play with him, but he never came back. who is he? He is the corpse! So it can be inferred that before Uncle died, he was not a bloodless person. He felt guilty. He wanted to turn his head back, so he went to the pastor to confess, and there was no return. But at least I can know that Uncle is at least better to Alex than Aunt, so he waited for him to come back to play with him. Alex originally wanted to save the two girls, so he said "I cried when I left them", but when aunt was there, he couldn't continue. Aunt should have heard this sentence, so she quickly Take Alex away. It was more obvious when Loki was to verify whether Alex had said this. Luo basically just wanted to use his aunt to threaten Alex so that he could tell the truth, but by mistake, he closed his mouth tightly. Because he wanted Aunt to be implicated. At the same time, the reason he didn't say was that when Aunt left, he emphasized that I was in the room! (I can hear what you say) Naked threats, but in the eyes of Rocky and the audience, they thought it was to comfort Alex and let him not be afraid. Back to the beginning, when the police chased Alex, why did he run away? When he can’t escape, he would rather commit suicide (driving against a tree). There are several possibilities: 1. He doesn’t know who is chasing him and will not hurt him; therefore, he dare not talk nonsense at the police station. Because he couldn't know that they were good people, especially their rude behavior towards him. 2. He wants to direct the police to his house so that the girl can be taken out. (If he dies, the police will definitely go to his home to investigate.) I personally think that the second possibility is very small because he has insufficient IQ. Always, a total tragedy!

Looking at another tragedy-Tyler, a perverted snake man, was frightened to the point that he could only draw endless mazes, just because he only thought about one thing in his mind and escaped the maze! As to why he locked up the snake and had children’s clothes, it should be his experience at the aunt’s house. He was imitating the couple’s behavior. If there is no blood, use pig blood instead. The novel that the police found from his house was just a cover, and it didn't matter. He should have nothing to do with the current aunt, not the aunt's instigation. His behavior was the result of childhood trauma. He should have seen a couple bury their bodies, so he followed suit and repeated the process, replacing the two girls with two fake dolls. And he didn't know if he was a murderer, he just did it like this.

Finally back to the priest, a typical cannon fodder! It's not that he doesn't want to say it, but he can't say that, in the professional ethics of a pastor, all he can say is just a few words, and Rocky still doesn't believe him. This is about God. In the whole film, what role does God play? I believe that it is not difficult for a discerning person to see it, and even makes me speculate on the religious beliefs of the director or screenwriter. At least in this film, it is demonstrated that God is a joke! Please look at the reasons:
1. In order to uphold the teachings of God, the pastor replaced the big evil with small evil (closed uncle) (go out and continue to kill), and the result was that he was imprisoned, and he couldn't argue with it;
2. Keller warned him repeatedly at the beginning Son, one can only rely on himself, and because of this, he is a real, safe and proactive person (the basement of his house). But when he had nothing to do, he knelt on the ground and prayed to God. People always believe in God with a lucky mentality when they are desperate. The result is that God can't do anything. In the end, he has to rely on himself and his perseverance.
3. When countless neighbors were praying for the girls in the open space, a suspect appeared. He thought it was God's manifestation and showed the direction, but it was in the opposite direction.
4. The source of all evil lies in "declaring war on God"! Because the couple’s children are gone, who can they hold accountable? It can only be God! In the name of challenging God, hurt other children, die abnormal!
Countless information shows that God is a joke! The tone of ridicule God in the play has to be humorous and witty, but not everyone understands it! I like.

Finally, there is a bright spot, lies in the whistle! I also guessed that it was the whistle (Joy helped her find the whistle when she was at Anna's house, she took it with her, and was left behind when trapped in the cave) that saved Kyler~~~

    Although the plot is dull and slow, but because the events reflected are more realistic, it can capture the hearts of the audience. I dare to say that without the participation of Jackman and Gyllenhaal, a considerable number of people would not be able to watch it. The film was supported by the superb acting skills of these two people, otherwise the audience would have lost patience. The gloomy and cold weather set off the atmosphere of the story very much. At the end, a hanging heart still couldn't let go, and it still felt heavy.

    It's been a long time since I saw this kind of hearty, dark imagery suspense film. The narrative is self-contained and has the temperament of a master storytelling, but in the end it is limited to business, and it almost became a master work. Hugh Jackman is the most from the film. Excellent work, without a doubt!
