Instinct's Murderer and More

The director tends to make us think (not strictly following logical reasoning makes us think) that Sharon stone (the character played) is the murderer, there are three clear hints, both 1 and 3 are more obvious and mentally retarded: the mirror on the ceiling and the Finally, the awl at the bottom of the bed, the second place is a bit hidden, but the most powerful. Some people in the comments above have pointed out that it is in the printout of the shooter book. You can take a look at it, and then compare it to the cops when they checked Beth's house. Close-up of the two Sharon stone novels obtained (there is no shooter book, if it is not framed, it means that Beth has not got the book, if it is framed, it means that the shooter has not been published, in short, Beth has not seen the book) , I understand (the above two are close-ups, it can be seen that the director intends to emphasize).
After determining the murderer in the director's mind, let's try to understand the instinct. There are two possible understandings:
1. The writer has the instinct to turn the fictional plot of the novel into reality.
2. The sexual instinct is actually the violent attack instinct, or the sexual instinct and violence. The attack instinct is always combined.
Relatively speaking, 2 to 1 is in line with the film. There are at least three points of evidence. First, after seeing her nakedness in the first two meetings with Katherine and the disadvantage in her speech, Nick's confrontation with Katherine. Beth's sexual abuse is equivalent to transfer payment; the second is that Catherine is bisexual; the third is the metaphor of shooter.

But the film does not give us emphasis on either of 1 and 2 in effect (not to say logically), the effect of the film to us is actually porn + detective, so this is another film whose surface effect is inconsistent with the actual effect, or It is said that a film with split effects, from the title of the film and the seemingly open-ended plot and ending, the film should create a kind of advanced film effect, and must have a certain philosophical meaning or sense of philosophy, and the main effect of the film should be But it's porn and detective, obviously inconsistent. Although some movies are also advanced, although they also require analysis to understand, the thematic analysis of them is limited to the scope of ambiguity given by the effect (such as "No Country for Old Men", "The Mist"), which means that you can analyze it like this. , it can also be analyzed in that way, and it is in line with the effect. However, "Instinct" just has no philosophical effect or profound effect (again, not in logic, but in effect - reading experience, feeling), no matter how you analyze it, you can't analyze it.
To sum up, "Instinct" (1) is a pornographic + detective film in the guise of a sophisticated movie or an art movie.
