side effects = dark side

In general, this movie is quite qualified to complete its task as a drama and thriller. In fact, the role of Rooney Mara in the movie is a black-bellied woman. Her acting skills are very good. Out. Not to mention other big names, the plot is also a dark line buried under the bright line. But after a night I felt that there was something lacking in this movie. After thinking about it and thinking about it, what I think is missing is a ruthlessness, a ruthlessness that wants to directly stab the dark side of human nature. In the final part, there is still a good victory over evil, but you do not have the kind of heroic film that insists on being the protagonist. Going down to find out the incisive pleasure and moving of the truth, there is no depression and despair that the darkness still overshadows the light, three words describe my feelings: "light and fluttering"
If I were the director, maybe I would reverse the final plot again. Now, for example, the doctor played by Qiuqiu is the ultimate big boss. He swallowed the money and made the pair miserable. Or a little bit bloody, Qiuqiu is also a good friend of Muscle Muscle, secretly avenging his girlfriend. , the truth came out, and the three views were shocked again.
In fact, what I want to say is that with the growth of age, my worldview is no longer a "black and white" like a stunned green through the input of various books and movies, and I no longer insist on looking back now. The seemingly naive and ridiculous human nature is inherently good. I think human nature is neither evil nor good. It is a complex synthesis of the two. It needs a chance to release one of them. The goodness inside, and the evil of human nature is often unleashed by personal encounters, such as Mara in the movie, who changed from a happy little woman to a prisoner's wife in an instant. Anyone who changes it will have a bit of hatred for her husband, and She will also become extremely insecure, and she will seize any opportunity in the future to help herself obtain more resources, without relying on anyone, without worrying about any changes, so her inner world should be completely without Feelings, extremely dark and incomplete, the movie seems to show this too, but the digging is very shallow, if a woman is willing to endure patiently for four years, carefully plotting to murder her husband who takes her to the top of the mountain and pushes herself down, she should She is an extremely smart, black-bellied, and calm woman, but the doctor's simple estrangement and electric shock therapy to scare her off the scale. You have to think this woman is so stupid, so stupid, or what the director wants to express is that the woman is playing tricks Chengfu will never be better than men? In the end, a better deal there is also a woman who is very easy to trust others. Hey! If you only have this level, please don't learn from others to play frame-up, thinking that you can get rid of the crime just by acting.
In fact, everyone here is stupid, including the doctor played by Qiuqiu, but just because the plot requires everyone to be scheming and set up in various ways, the more I say, the more I want to give this movie two stars, but, Forget it, I'm basically satisfied, and I can still watch it as a pastime, so I recommend it. Besides, the rich second-generation girls have all kinds of beauty in it, so it should be given a non-objective four-star rating.
Finally, in fact, the most unbelievable thing in this world is human nature.
