Human nature is evil

A thought-provoking good movie. But the title is mistranslated, it's "primitive" fear, not some empty "first-order" fear. The most primitive fear of human nature is the theory that "human nature is inherently evil".

From Martin's mentality and speech when he first took the case, he knew that he would never be as righteous as he confided to reporters after drinking. The truth was unimportant to him at the beginning, and he always did until the defendant Aeron/Roy appeared. With wonderful acting skills, Martin really believes that he is not a murderer. Martin began to go to great lengths to exonerate Aeron/Roy, one is to win the case as a matter of course, and the other is that he can easily get justice and preside over the truth (at least he thinks so). And in this way, he himself began to believe in his own justice, and there was a bar that vomited "sincere". It was definitely not a deception, but a description of the state he thought he had become, and even he might This has been on the path of justice. Later the truth came out, Aeron never existed, and did the righteous Martin ever exist? Martin was dumbfounded, and the cold wind must have penetrated his body. In addition to lamenting Roy's extreme evil, it is probably more difficult to face the gap in his own personality.

    Norton's debut is really bad

    I watched the film in the bean column with the unexpected ending, so I guessed that Allen might be pretending when I started watching the film, SO, there is no suspense ╮(╯_╰)╭ But Edward Norton's acting is too good to see the middle I have to believe again that he is not pretending! ! ~ In other words, Norton was really tender at that time. PS: I hate spoilers!
