Not very interesting

It feels normal. The key plot of this film is from the mouth of the lame. You can't tell whether what he said is true or false, so in the end, no matter what the truth is, it will not make people feel particularly surprised, and the director played various narrative techniques throughout the process. Trying to increase the suspense with this, it just makes me feel dizzy and tired, in fact, no matter what you do, everything is the lame in charge.
I think a good suspense film should leave a considerable amount of space for the audience to participate and judge. For classics such as "Rear Window", the audience has the same perspective as the hero in the film and can obtain the same amount of material. While the hero makes step-by-step inferences, the audience can also make their own judgments and remain suspenseful.

    I watched the section identifying the suspect more than 30 times and still laughed every time. I really didn't expect to see Kevin crying and grinning, and the uncle fried chicken when he was young! Coulson played the role of a surgeon, and never took off his mask once on his side. The music is so nice, so nice. I think of the soundtracks of "Polo" and "Derek" that I liked when I was a kid.

    72/100 If you regard the setting of the ending as the criminal's on-the-spot performance, then you will think that the criminal is really powerful, but in fact, from the perspective of script creation, it is completely possible to write the story first and then set the reversal elements. There are almost no elements. difficulty.

The Usual Suspects quotes

  • Kobayashi: Before you... do me in, Mr. McManus, you will let me finish my business with Ms. Finneran first, won't you?

    Keaton: What did you say?

    Kobayashi: Edie Finneran. She's upstairs in my office for an extradition deposition. I requested that she be put on the case personally. She flew in yesterday. No matter. Kill away, Mr. McManus.

  • Verbal: He lets the last Hungarian go. He waits until his wife and kids are in the ground and then he goes after the rest of the mob. He kills their kids, he kills their wives, he kills their parents and their parents' friends. He burns down the houses they live in and the stores they work in, he kills people that owe them money. And like that he was gone. Underground. Nobody has ever seen him since. He becomes a myth, a spook story that criminals tell their kids at night. "Rat on your pop, and Keyser Soze will get you." And no-one ever really believes.
