I accidentally turned to my diary in 2016, and wrote about the aftermath of the movie, thanking myself for writing so many words at that time, and now I save it in another way——

2016.1.22 (Five)

I'm more certain than anyone else that if I don't record, I'll forget everything later. Just watched a movie called "the face of angle". I habitually search for movie reviews after watching it, and every time I feel it is very strange. I take my own feelings to seek the collision of other people, sometimes I see someone describe the thoughts in my heart more vividly, and sometimes I see completely different voices.

"Angel Face" tells the story of a director, his wife is divorced, and her career is booming, her daughter is with her mother. He accidentally saw a crime book on the plane, so he contacted the author to make such a movie to restore the truth of the matter. While digging into the facts of the case, I saw a director, mental state when writing the script - taking a small amount of drugs for inspiration; disagreeing with other people, etc.

The above are the superficial impressions I have read once. Maybe I will see this diary again later, and I may have different opinions when I see my own comments. At the end of the film, I said, this film commemorates Meredith Kercher, I don't know who he is, I'll check it out later.

There is a line in the film that I like better -

"A man who tells a lie to sleep will never wake up with a reputation. And his longing and life are like a dream away from him, and his memory trail slowly fades in time, like The smoke in the air, or the steam gradually dissipating."

It says in the film that this movie can be made into crime, documentary, or love, it doesn't matter what it is, what we want to make it into—maybe this is not what the movie says, maybe I made it up myself.

After a search, I found out that there is a real story behind this movie, "The Case of the Angel Killer". This is a story that happened back then. I won't repeat the case. I only know who killed who and has no way of knowing.

But after I saw the nationality of the director (British is the same country as the victim in the play, and the other people involved are the American roommate and the Italian police), I may be able to judge that the film may have a personal emotion. As for who is right and who is wrong, I don't care and don't want to know. Because if it were my compatriots, it might be difficult for me to maintain a neutral point of view.

  • Thomas: It's not about 'whodunnit'... there are so many angles, how to organize it in a meaningful way, it's important that its a story based on truth, but i want to do something that transcends that, that its not just a simple reconstruction...

  • Journalist: If you're gonna make a movie, make it a fiction. You cannot tell the truth unless you make it a fiction.
