The film adopts a two-line narrative, both of which are about love. The widowed husband Morales imprisoned the murderer privately for 25 years out of love for his wife, and the male protagonist Ace Bohito finally revealed his secret love for his female boss after 25 years, adding took the letter A in the Spanish word "scared" and turned it into a clear "I love you".
Morales's love surged in the open. He spent a year looking for the real murderer at the station, and at the end of the film, he revealed the truth of his imprisoned murderer through the eyes of Esposito: the montage flashback on the car leaves the reader as confused as Esposito. Suspicion, as the camera follows Ace Bohido from the distant view of Morales' house to the middle shot of the corridor, to the close-up view of the cage, and then to the close-up of the real murderer's face, the picture gradually becomes clearer and immersed in the situation. The audience was as shocked and speechless as Esposito. The last close-up shot of Morales's frontal view is almost hidden in the railings, his expression is cold and stern with a hint of depression, and he is also like a prisoner - imprisoned by the persistent love for his wife and the persistent hatred for the real murderer. for a lifetime.
Esposito's love surged in the dark. The film sets up all kinds of ingenuity to point out the hidden love. For example, the door that has not been closed twice implies that the female boss expects Esposito to express her love. In the end, when Esposito decides to express her love The door was closed; another example was that the old typewriter could not type the letter A, which seemed to symbolize the mental activity that Esposito never dared to turn love into action, until finally Esposito put A in person. Supplement; and the novel that runs through the entire film, the novel is the core element that connects the two lines, and also plays the role of time and space switching.
Two men who have been devoted to love for 25 years seem to be able to explain it with the words of Esposito's friend: "A man will never give up his hobby." But are these two kinds of love in the same dimension? Esposito was captivated by his own fears from start to finish, not as generous as Morales. Morales' love was intensified under the influence of tragedy, and finally turned love into a kind of faith, but as he said to Esposito: "This is my life, not yours", if you want to act, you don't have to Wait until 25 years later to be shocked by other people's stories to make amends. Although the director portrays this remedy as almost romantic and tender, it still appears powerless and impulsive under the constraints of reality.
