Endless loop

It's been a long time since I saw a movie with such a strong logic, everything is an endless loop.

The murderer’s aunt’s child is gone, and the murderer behind has not been found. That’s why.
The murderer aunt and uncle began to abduct other children as revenge, killing a group of children, but two of them survived, both of them did not die after being drugged, but they couldn't remember anything. They were the mentally retarded boy and the maze boy.
During the period, the murderer's uncle received condemnation and went to the priest to pray. As a result, the priest couldn't accept him to continue to do evil, but he couldn't tell the outsider. So he had to trap him in his own cellar to fend for himself. Nearly breakdown.
The mentally handicapped boy and the murderer aunt developed a relationship, and the two began to live a life of mutual dependence.
The boy in the maze left when he grew up, but he always had the urge to find out the puzzle in his heart. With the surviving memory, he imitated himself as the kidnapper.
The mentally handicapped boy and the maze boy assisted the murderer aunt to complete the abduction, but neither of them knew what evil they had done. Both of them imitated the murderer’s aunt like a child.
Among them, the mentally handicapped boy even showed kindness to the two girls. The girl didn’t cry when he was there. But his cruelty to animals is a typical imitation of the murderer’s aunt’s abuse and abduction of children. He didn’t know the kindness. Evil, when he was abused by Uncle Wolf, he was also out of protection for his "mother", and he did not want to reveal the secrets.
The labyrinth boy is more inclined to have a relationship with the murderer. The pendant worn by the murderer is the puzzle that the boy always wants to solve. He tries his best to imitate the murderer's practice. Although he is afraid of snakes, he still raises snakes, and it is not for the victim. The collection of objects is also an attempt to turn oneself into a murderer.
Uncle Wolf’s wife is a typical good wife and mother, who needs to be cared for, loves her children extremely, and even has a mental breakdown.
Uncle Wolf is a calm and fanatical combination. On the one hand, he stayed calm and looking for a rescue method when his daughter was abducted. On the other hand, out of his love for his daughter and the urgent rescue time, he almost lost his mind and found a mentally handicapped boy in an attempt to abuse him. Obtaining clues, he didn't really try to understand the mentally handicapped boy, but deepened the injury step by step. Even the mentally handicapped boy finally told part of the truth, but was missed by Uncle Wolf.
Black couples don’t have to say much. Although the husband is outside, he is timid. The old wife actually controls the family power. Faced with the disappearance of their daughter and the special rescue method of Uncle Wolf, although they don’t want to participate in it, there is nothing else. The method represents the most ordinary person.
The inspector is somewhat self-contradictory and complicated. On the one hand, he is upright and kind, and on the other hand, he secretly uses some small methods. On the one hand, he loves his job and is dedicated to his job. The prisoner's background and continuous tracking and monitoring of the prisoner were not done well. The inefficient work of him and the police indirectly promoted the self-awakening and torture of Uncle Wolf, and it was the detective who rescued the girl and Uncle Wolf in the end.

Throughout the movie, everything is rooted in the murderer’s aunt and the uncle’s children being abducted and the murderer is at large. The two fell into the abyss of evil and the murderer died as a result;
the actions of the two directly led to the next two generations. The boys’ thoughts were perverted. One was brutally tortured and executed, and the other was killed because of it;
a group of abducting the girl caused the mental breakdown of Uncle Wolf and others, and a group of kind-hearted ordinary people also lost their lives in this extreme situation. Reason, especially Uncle Wolf committed the same cruel crime;
Fortunately, Uncle Wolf's unremitting efforts finally achieved certain results. Although his method of torture and extracting a confession itself did not obtain any useful information, his repeated turnover , Which caused the black girl to escape by chance, and as a result the white girl was rescued, and the truth of the case was solved.
But in the end, Uncle Wolf seems to have to pay for what he did. On the one hand, if he is saved, he will be punished by the law. On the other hand, if he is not saved, he will have one life for another. It is estimated that the director is also entangled in the ending of Uncle Wolf. It is difficult to choose whether to save or die, so he decided to give an open ending. Everyone has finished work, but the whistle is passed to the inspector, and there is a line in both cases. possible.

    Villeneuve is really a rare Hollywood director, who can expand a suspense story to 153 minutes while keeping the audience from losing interest. Complete control of the rhythm is essential. The role modeling is also very precise, and the content is rich enough to keep the audience from being bored every minute. Villeneuve combines commercial and art films so well, and at the same time is reused by Hollywood (won many top sci-fi IPs), it is the fortune of the audience.
