1 There is an old saying that all science fiction really wants to describe and discuss is the present. I haven't read the original, but the core of the movie is obviously family. Of course there are other subjects, such as aliens and their social structures, mental patients and their ideas.
2 Most of the suspense films have a closed loop, that is, they are obviously helping other people. In fact, he himself needs help from others, and is finally helped by others.
3 The story is told well, the rhythm is well grasped, and of course Spacey's second half is also well acted.
4 The script is very good, it may be related to the original novel. If you exclude the gimmicks such as aliens, split personalities, and mental patients, the story is actually very ordinary. But after adding some supporting materials, the story immediately came alive.
