I don't want to talk about movies, I just want to talk about human nature

About the movie, too many people have said, and too much has been said.
I can't tell.

A movie that uses psychotic symptoms as the framework for the storyline's nine twists and turns is, really, too smart a decision.

There are a lot of movies with patients as props, even after this movie from ten years ago, but that's not even that.
But, I always say but, but, using a lie to make up a sick patient again becomes a director's little hoax.

Reminds me of Hard Candy. Certainly not the same thing.

Why is it called first-degree fear?
Because the truth is never feared, the fear is that you don't know the truth at all, is it true? !

How do you feel when you find out that the person you have always trusted has been lying to you all the time?

If it was me, I would not resent him, nor would I blame myself. I can only sigh with emotion about this matter, the unreliability, lack of initiative or randomness of surviving as a life.

What's the meaning?

If your life is full of lies, then your life has no real meaning.

It makes you panic, it makes you afraid, it makes you want to run away, it makes you deny yourself any judgment based on them, even yourself.

Did you ever exist? Is your existence a fiction of others?

This reminds me of The Matrix again. Of course there is no comparison.

When slowly watching yourself and the world fall together, you can only save yourself by learning to hurt others. Of course, I'm limited to mischief.

The film shows such a society.

Judges are alcoholics, prosecutors are smokers, and barristers are vain.
The purity of religion is subverted by the authority itself, the morality is lost, and the ugliness of human nature is displayed.


As a member of a gregarious species, the law is supreme and religion the most sacred and inviolable.

Law is an impartial balance; religion is another constraint on moral standards.

When both elements become straddling dogs! Only disguised as a devil to protect yourself? may be.
