Who is "brother"? This film uses this as the core "burden" and uses "narrative tricks". Before the final part of the film is completely decrypted, a lot of details have been paved:
1. ①At about 2m50s at the beginning, the neck of the elder brother when he was a child was smooth and clean without scars; ②From 5m37s until the end of the film, the skin on the neck of the elder brother after escaping from prison was a large area of irregular red. 2. 3m45s, there is the sound of a knife being drawn, the shadow of the murderer, but no face. After the brother told the sister to run quickly, the camera cut to the sister, looking horrified. Then there was the sound of a sharp weapon cutting flesh, followed by a long scream from my brother (more than 4 seconds). Obviously killed, what exactly happened? Who is this wicked murderer who murdered his parents and hurt his brother? have no idea.
3. 3m38s, the parents (the remains) were hanged upside down, and there were messy books in the pool of blood. What is the killer looking for? 4. From 33m22s onwards, my brother faced everyone and gave a memoir. Note that in this recall scene, there are many details worth scrutinizing: ① My brother is holding a book in his left hand; ②The younger sister passed out before her brother was killed; at the beginning of the movie, the younger sister passed out after witnessing the process of her brother's murder. ③The elder brother said that he "escaped with his sister in his arms". In the train chasing battle, we know that the wolf synthetic beast has excellent jumping ability and extremely fast movement. The speed of ordinary people can't escape the pursuit of synthetic beasts, let alone running with a person in his arms. Under such circumstances, he managed to escape, and even had spare time to find a suitable safe place to hide his sister?
5. At 45m47s, the wolf synthetic beast held Julia behind him with his right hand (between himself and the stone wall). As if holding (protecting) Julia? 6. 46m25s, when the boulder falls, the wolf can flash and leave. But he resisted, the obvious purpose was to protect Julia. 7. At 47m11s, Gangdouding said, "He said he came by smell." This shows that the wolf synthetic beast has an extremely keen sense of smell. Here again, it conflicts with my brother's self-reported memories. The wolf synthetic beast has such a keen sense of smell, how could the younger sister who was hid in a hurry not be able to find it? 8. At 48m28s, the man in the khaki military uniform said to the masked man, "But, when did that man learn the alchemy of the Claytons?"
At this point, it has been semi-publicly stated that "older brother" is not a real older brother. 9. From 50m12s, a series of nicknames for the Sage's Stone are introduced. The stone of immortality (Japanese immortality stone) = red stone = stone of sages The Milos people call it the "blood star". (Note, this is a hint) 10. The camera cuts to "brother" as the woman tells the history of her country. He was using a sharp knife to deeply cut his left hand and redraw the formation. But he looked calm and painless. It implies that he has an extreme personality and acts ruthlessly. Those who are cruel to themselves will not be gentle to others. 11. The first time you watch it, you will feel a little uncomfortable. The foreshadowing process is too long and you will be tired and impatient; but it is suitable for repeated tastes and gradually understand the mystery. Summary: A work of art film that is well-received and not well-received. In terms of viewing, it is relatively unsuccessful; in terms of artistry, it is relatively successful. I guess the creator of the script is a fan of Agatha Christie (grandma) hhhhhhh this is supposed to be a detective movie!
