It's actually quite a love story

Mysterious Eyes, Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film. It's actually a pretty pure love story.

The so-called foreshadowing, truth, answers, etc., are not what this story wants to shock the audience. But you will be shocked by the sudden burst of atmosphere and suspense, the information revealed in the eyes, and the character's obsession with things and the past.

This film will win an award. I think the director of the premiere is very good at creating a story. His stories are not told to let you know, but to build up the elements of the story step by step before you get back to your senses and let you feel it yourself.

It's just that I feel sorry for the super-long shot of the football field to hunt down the murderer.... That arrangement makes the tension, tightness, pursuit, and conflict of the picture just a little better than usual. In contrast, the scene in which Irene spoke out to stimulate the suspect was more interesting.

Some people say that this long shot is comparable to that of Son of Man. For me, Son of Man is much better than Mysterious Eyes in the use of tension in the long shot and the manipulation of music.
