"Suspicious" is a suspense film directed by Stephen Hopkins in 2000. The film focuses on the psychological characteristics of the characters when they are questioned.
Henry, a wealthy and prestigious lawyer living on a small island, was caught in a case of rape and murder of a young girl. During the police detective's questioning, Henry tried to cover up the unknown secrets of his life, resulting in a lot of loopholes in his answers. The police detective found that the lawyer was very suspicious. In the subsequent series of investigations, the lawyer's secrets were dug up, and each of them seemed to prove that he was the murderer...
Doubt is the desert that devours everything
The film is based on the police detective's interrogation of the lawyer and his wife. The film's picture processing is very appropriate, and it will not make the viewers feel boring and monotonous.
Although the interrogation took place in the detective's office, the camera was switched at any time with the content of the interrogation. The police detective played by Morgan Freeman will also follow the incident and enter as a bystander for interrogation. Everything Henry does is exposed to the eyes of the police detective, which also indicates that Henry can no longer hide his life. any secret.
Everything in the movie is born out of doubt.
The police detective suspected the lawyer, and from the moment of the interrogation, he used the "inference of guilt" to seize all the clues to prove that the lawyer had sufficient motives for committing the crime.
Henry's nervousness during the interrogation is unimaginable, even as a tax lawyer, facing the police's investigation and questioning is so nervous that the contradictory testimony makes people even more suspicious of what kind of secrets he is hiding. The detective had identified Henry as the murderer from the very beginning. In his eyes, this tension was a sign that the case could soon be solved.
When people believe that he is the sinner and the murderer, all investigation and evidence collection will be biased, and every link of the investigation is deviating from the justice of justice.
When a person is directly locked as a murderer, everyone will rule out the word suspect and will not investigate other people and time. The judgment of the case is transformed from the case incident to the investigation and investigation of the person. In the process, tracing the case has turned into uncovering a person's full criminal motive.
This kind of situation is extremely terrifying. Using the established results to complete the solution process and bringing in counter-evidence not only makes the lawyer nowhere to escape, but also makes it impossible for anyone to hide.
The lawyer pointed to the police detective's mind: "It's a small thing for a villain or a lunatic to kill, but if the client is a well-respected lawyer who is involved in addition to witnessing the case, that's the headline news. That way you can also be the next police inspector. "
Even when the questioning was provoked, he yelled and asked the detective, "Is it because I was the first witness and the first person to call the police was the murderer." I have to say that this ordinary roar is thought-provoking.
Of course, the lawyer in the movie is not a gentleman. He recruits prostitutes, browses pornographic websites, likes young bodies, and is willing to shoot beautiful girls with cameras. It was all publicly exposed, and he had no choice but to get angry.
With the advancement of the movie, the stories of lawyers have been excavated more and more. The people who are envious of the talented and talented women have long been separated from each other. They are separated, suspicious and unfaithful...
The detective was keenly aware and with years of experience, began to question Henry's wife Chandel and their lives.
From concealment, to admitting separation, to revealing why. So far, in the film, Henry seems to have become the most pitiful person, suspected of being trapped in the police station by police detectives, and suspected by his wife that the relationship between husband and wife has broken down.
A joking picture with her niece is a symbol of infidelity in Shandel's eyes, and a look broke the relationship between the two for many years.
Henry has nowhere to explain, Shandel's determination remains the same, and the police detective is more and more confirmed. The evidence points to the obvious, and everything is ready, only a lawyer's confession.
The hug I missed because of love
Because of years of suspicion, Shandel finally agreed to bring the police into the house to search for evidence, and Henry was completely at a disadvantage. The detective took the photo found in the darkroom and learned that the moment his wife found it, Henry, who had been fighting all night, suddenly gave up. He began to admit to killing himself in accordance with the rape and murder process as described by the police.
The moment the wife heard it, she felt more resentment than disappointment, as if her suspicions had been confirmed. Not to mention the detective, so much so that when the real murderer was brought to justice, he couldn't believe it.
Henry finally pleaded guilty for his wife, he thought all this was done by his wife.
In the middle of the film, the police detective asks Henry why the husband and wife are no longer in love but not divorced. Henry answered indifferently, because dividing the property is not worth it. At the end, it was discovered that the fifty-six-year-old man truly loved his wife in his twenties. Perhaps because of money, status, age difference, etc., everyone thought that the couple had their own But in fact, they really loved each other, and even always loved each other.
A person's doubts are born out of love's possessiveness, and a person is willing to risk everything to confess.
When leaving, the wife walked quickly to Henry, wanting to give her husband a hug, but Henry avoided and walked to the other side, and the two ended up sitting on two benches with a sculpture in between.
People in love often go from loving each other to missing each other. Henry and Chandel are even more unfortunate. After missing once, they go wrong again. Everyone must experience the pain caused by love. Not to be broken.
The last hug was missed because of love. That corridor may still be a desert. Once the door is locked, no matter how bloody your fingers bleed, you can't open it!
In life, we are not perfect people, but no matter what kind of things we encounter, please don’t jump to conclusions, and don’t put labels at will. No matter how meticulous your logic is, or how skillful you are in using the law of rebuttal, don’t let yourself deduce conditions based on conclusions. , because most of those conditions come from your conjectures, don't let doubts and conjectures ruin everything that is unknown.
