Citizen X

1. Different from other reasoning movies

1⃣️The narrative method, using the direct narrative type, will pay more attention to the portrayal of the characters. The traditional reasoning movie circular narrative has a climax of exploring unknown things in the reasoning process. Sometimes it pays attention to the reasoning of the plot itself, but ignores human nature. This also leads to the lack of depth in the film. This film locks the protagonist from the beginning, which will expose human nature from the side and have a certain depth.

2⃣️ Grasp the rhythm of the film, the whole film has no obvious climax, it looks flat but it is worth tasting carefully.

2. Character image

1⃣️The male protagonist has melancholy and drooping brows and eyes, with a simple, honest and down-to-earth feeling. It is a contrast to the detective who usually chooses a shrewd face when handling cases. Besides, the male protagonist is a typical and cautious person who does big things in a low voice. In the face of praise from others, I am not arrogant or impetuous. I have been sitting on the same thing for 5 years. It seems that I am not very smart, but in fact, I am a person with great wisdom. The first time I handled a case, I caught the suspect with intuition. When no one recognizes him, he strengthens his inner thoughts, which is probably self-persistence, one of the elements of success. There will also be a counter-attack when this self-persistence conflicts with reality. His crying, including his dialogue with the colonel, was full of irony in the early stage, which is the impact of his self-worth and reality.

2⃣️ Colonel, a man with great wisdom and grace. In my words, he is a natural leader. He has always been a meticulous military uniform, and he took neat steps when arguing with the bureaucracy. The great wisdom is reflected in the use of people and their attitude towards things. The use of people is clear, they have their own set of methods, and they firmly believe in it. This is also a kind of self-persistence in disguise. In terms of attitude towards things, there is enough tolerance for the male protagonist's doubts in the early stage. , can be described as a person who has achieved great things, who is not arrogant or impetuous, the forbearance in the early stage and the outbreak in the later stage, here refers to the outbreak in the later stage, which means that the conflict with the bureaucrats happened at the right time. In summary, he is a person who knows how to watch words and looks, and a general who is good at employing people.

3⃣️It is worth mentioning the friendship between the male protagonist and the colonel. As the plot progresses, the initial misunderstanding between the male protagonist and the colon has turned into mutual respect and cherishing each other. Although it is not specifically stated in the film, it has been maintained since the colonel. The male protagonist, and when he said when will I let you down, can be said to light up the friendship of this movie. Of course, the friendship between the male protagonist and the colonel is mainly driven by two parts of the plot. The first is the intensification of the case, and the second is the The bureaucracy's denial of the male protagonist is conducive to the sublimation of friendship, which can be said to be true in adversity.

In addition, the male protagonist's final solution to the prisoner's interrogation problem is also ingenious. For those who are vying for fame and fortune, he has adopted both methods, which is also a manifestation of great wisdom.

Citizen X quotes

  • Burakov: Bondarchuck suspects a cop now. Someone who knows how to kill and get away with it.

    Mrs. Burakov: I suppose that's a possibility.

    Burakov: The one he suspects is me.

    Mrs. Burakov: That's absurd.

    Burakov: I'm afraid, though. You know what he's like. Someone could come in the night and take me away.

  • Fetisov: You have a telephone appointment tonight at midnight to speak with the head of the FBI's Serial Killer Task Force, Special Agent Bickworth. He told me late last night that he has been following your work on this case with great interest for about five years. I... didn't ask him how. He considers you a man of iron will. For what it's worth, I concur. And he al... he also told me that he rotates his people off serial murder cases every eighteen months whether they like it or not, to prevent the inevitable psychological consequences of too much frustration. I... I pretended that I had known that all along. He thinks that I pushed you in search of your limits until I realized that you didn't have any. Privately, I offer my deepest apologies to you and your wife. I hope that someday you can forgive me my ignorance. Anyway, he suggested I not tell you this next, but he said that he starts a new group of recruits through the program every sixteen weeks and the first lecture that he gives is always about you. He calls you the one man in the world that he would least like to have after him. An intelligent, methodical, painstaking, passionate detective who would rather die than give up. Again I concur.

    [Burakov is by now weeping]

    Fetisov: Colonel Burakov, I'm sorry. You may go.
