The most shadow is not free

Ships, islands, and bad weather, "Shadow Writer" has a nearly identical opening to "Shutter Island", but after entering the story and unfolding the story, the two films are different. In addition to the meaningful ending, the intuitive pleasure of watching "The Shadow Writer" seems to be inferior to that of "Shutter Island". But this does not mean that "The Shadow Writer" will lack a sense of suspense. From the time the protagonist returns home with the manuscript, danger follows step by step. The hidden black hand has been controlling the whole incident, and the atmosphere of the film is also very clear and heavy.

Due to too much knowledge and a natural desire to find out, the protagonist has overstepped his role as a shadow writer, and he wants to unearth the secrets behind the former prime minister. Let's call him the brilliance of human nature, but the movie gives people a head-on, just like Polanski's "Chinatown" back then, just relying on one person's conscience and a few people's efforts, it is hopeless enough to break through the dark and dark scenes. Polanski has always been good at showing the dark side of human nature and the world, so "Shadow Writer" is actually a tragedy. It is not an idealistic Don Quixote vs a windmill, but a defeat following the rules of the game.

A famous person said that taking a politically deceitful attitude is a sign of weakness, and the British-American relationship in "The Shadow Writer" is a shocking hoax. Since more than ten years ago, the United Kingdom has followed the US ass and followed suit. Ordinary people have a lot of speculation about this, and "Shadow Writer" makes a fuss about this. When everyone intuitively thinks that there is something wrong with the former prime minister, the movie tells us that the truth is probably not so simple. This is a movie about conspiracy theories, and regardless of whether you seem resentful or helpless, it is indeed a good movie.
