【Contains spoilers】Welcome to discuss and suggest watching the movie after watching the movie
I watched all the films directed by Director Nolan today, and I have watched the others many times, but this "Insomnia" (also known as "The Chase in the White Night") has never been arranged to watch before. Many people say that this movie is Nolan's first time entering Hollywood, and he didn't write the script himself. But I feel that the process and results, the discussion of morality and human nature in this film are no less than any of Nolan's works.
Insomnia is insomnia, and it is also what we often call insomnia. Officers Will and Hope arrive from Los Angeles to investigate the death of an underage girl. (The article explained a lot of foreshadowing in the early stage, such as the internal strife, the Ministry of Internal Affairs is looking for Will and Hope for interrogation, and a man who often appears is wiping his white clothes, and the white fibers are stained with blood. These clips are all fleeting. , we don't know why in the early stage, but the male protagonist explained it all in the final dialogue with the landlady.) The young Detective Avery received the two at the airport, and then through some laying, it mainly showed Will's steady and down-to-earth and strong ability to analyze the case. Will always sees clues and is a very good police officer. As the plot progresses, Will interrogates the girl's boyfriend and continues to reason about the whole case.
Before the interrogation of the murdered girl's boyfriend, Will checked into the hotel. The movie said that it was ten o'clock in the evening, the sky was still bright, and the first day was over. At this time, Will did not lose sleep.
The turning point appeared when the girl's backpack was left in the jungle cabin (we know that the backpack was neglected by the murderer). Will planned to capture the murderer, but in this operation, due to the unclear passage in the cabin and the terrain and weather, "accidentally" "(From the plot point of view, I personally think that he did not clearly see the manslaughter, it should not be intentional) He killed his partner Happ, and this setting also caused the discussion of all subsequent issues. Because the incident happened suddenly, Will chose what he thought was the right way to deal with it, and lied to the police, saying that the girl's killer killed Happ.
At the end of the second day, Will went back to the hotel to lose sleep.
I won't talk about the development of the later story here, you can watch it in the movie. In a nutshell, the killer saw Will in the fog shooting his comrade and threatened to approach him. Will has been handling this all by himself, choosing his own path. Things like swapping bullets, etc., trying to cover up the truth.
At the end of the third day, Will went back to the hotel to lose sleep.
He found clues by himself and found the murderer's home. In order to provide more evidence for the follow-up (Will hid the gun in the vent of the murderer's house, pay attention to this behavior), he hunted down the murderer, but because he was not familiar with it, he lost it. murderer. After returning to the murderer's house in embarrassment, he had a phone conversation with the murderer, and made an appointment to meet the murderer on the boat the next day.
At the end of the fourth day, Will loses sleep
The conversation between the killer and Will on the boat is fantastic. The murderer used his reputation and interests to coerce and lure Will to follow his plan, but Will agreed, and he still felt that he could solve all this. The murderer also had a conversation with Will after Will returned to the hotel, explaining the process and details of the murderer's killing of the girl (the murderer said that he was afraid and killed the girl, but he was very calm after the murder, and the murderer thought he did the right thing. , and there is no sense of shame or guilt at all) (When I watched this episode, I felt that the murderer was a psychopath, and his acting skills were really good.) At the same time, he was still tying Will with morals, saying that he and Will were the same manslaughter, and he sighed at the same time. of fragility.
At the end of the fifth day, Will went back to the hotel to lose sleep
The next day, the murderer was called by the police to the police station to record a statement, and framed it all to the girl's boyfriend Randy according to the plan. . (It's just that he doesn't want to admit that he killed Hope by mistake. The police went to Eddie's house with a warrant and found the .38 caliber pistol that the murderer had put in the gas tank of the car. It was all over, when the police thought the case At the end, Officer Avery searched the lake by himself and found something strange, that is, the shell of a 9mm caliber bullet. (The bullet will leave a shell after the bullet is fired, which means that the one that killed Hope was not 38 caliber at all, but it should be this strange 9mm pistol, which is only available to Will) Will met the murderer after the end and destroyed the recording of the murderer's conversation with him on the boat. But the resentment in his heart still couldn't pass. This dialogue is very good, the murderer said it A lot of words that hit Will's heart. He thought he could solve the problem, but found that he was tricked by the murderer in the end. It's the sixth day that Will hasn't slept.
Back at the hotel, Will's spirit is a little broken. The landlady found out and had a conversation with Will. Will said the previous foreshadowing. The fiber stained red with blood, and the one who wiped the blood was himself. A year and a half ago, Will and Hope's case against a 24-year-old murderer could not be settled due to insufficient evidence. So Will took some blood from the slain boy and dripped it on the murderer's clothes. (This is one of the rare times Will achieves what he believes is justice by his own means, because it will cause trouble) He knows that the 24-year-old boy is guilty, but he lacks some key evidence.
"Results Determine Process" So He Did It
At the end of the sixth day, Will went back to the hotel to lose sleep
The next day dawned, and Will looked at himself and realized that maybe everything was going wrong. But at this time, Officer Avery was also on his way to the murderer's house. Will went to find the murderer based on his own findings, but halfway through, due to insomnia, he had begun to have trance and hallucinations. In the end, under the intense and exciting plot, Will and the murderer perished together. Before she died, Avery wanted to destroy the evidence of the 9mm bullet because she knew Will did not do it on purpose, but was stopped by Will. Will tells her "don't go the wrong way", and the last line "Let me sleep" "just let me sleep" echoes the white night chase and insomnia.
video ends
It seems to me that the film is mainly about human nature, morality, personal choice and so on. The film adopts a positive sequence structure, which is not difficult to understand. But the discussion between result and process, truth and falsehood, truth and lie, struck me. An admirable big police detective who also produced evidence by himself, just to implement the justice he insisted on in his heart. A mistake made the detective unable to face up to his justice. There's nothing too esoteric about this movie, but it's the most authentic. I've been wondering what I'd do if Will was me. If it was you, what would you do? ? ?
I think Avery, who didn't drop the bullet in the movie, might be the standard answer.
