From the conversation between the male protagonist and the girl in the hotel, we can know that when his brother died when he was 11 years old, what he felt was not grief, but embarrassing... 11-year-old boy, it is reasonable to say that he has been out of chaos, and he should be sensible It makes sense, why is he not sad, but embarrassed and ashamed? Have a holiday with your brother? Is the male protagonist inherently selfish and cold-blooded? There are a lot of things hidden behind this, including the deep motivation of the male protagonist's many behaviors when he is an adult, which is worth thinking about. Then, the male protagonist also said that he lied to his classmates that his brother was not dead, but as time passed these lies became more and more unbelievable-why did he make up this lie? Wait, does this story sound familiar? Making up lies, and the lies are revealed over time, this is also what is happening in the current dilemma of the male protagonist's manslaughter partner. The male protagonist is repeating the same mistakes, and Vik played the role of the deceased in the story instead of the male protagonist's brother. After Vik's death, the male protagonist did not show grief, and he was most concerned about how to escape his guilt. Therefore, it is clear how the male protagonist's brother died in those days. The superficial plot of the film is just a repeat of the death of the male protagonist's brother. Accidental injury, manslaughter, youth and ignorance, past events, psychological shadows, do not want to mention it again, but now the brother's soul has come to the door in another way, but it was not exposed back then, and it is still not exposed now, always. Some people are willing to cover up the male protagonist and let the sin bury in their hearts.
In this theme of "Barriage between brothers and twins", "twin" is in a broad sense, and can be brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters. You love them as you love yourself, and you hate them as you hate yourself. You have the same Blood is essentially similar in temperament, and intimacy and estrangement are contradictory, such as the brother-sister relationship in the old version of scarface. Everyone has secrets and a disgraceful past, especially in the male protagonist line. These secrets are only allowed to be hidden in your own heart, and cannot be known by that partner/brother who seems to be another of your own. Vik knew about the scandal of the male protagonist in Sweden, it was nothing, the scandal had already spread. As a close partner, Vik knows more, and knows more that he shouldn't know, just like the female colleague who has a crush on him who can always grasp the flaws in the male protagonist's lies. Vik has started to lose memory, but is this a guarantee of complete safety? You don't know which part of his memory is fading, or whether it's still possible to recall it. The perverted writer in the film said: pay attention to those who you team up with. The more these people know you and the more you trust them, the more they threaten you. In this sense, human loneliness is doomed. Vik is the one who knows the male protagonist best, so he is both his favorite partner and a projection of his self-loathing, a potential threat to self-preservation. What is there to be sad about in disguised removal of a calamity? Guilt is enough.
2. Back to the male lead. There was an embarrassing blemish on the man's work history - he slept with witnesses while working on a case in Sweden, and was beaten in the face by heavily armed police officers. Fortunately, with outstanding professional ability, he was able to come to Northern Norway to handle cases and avoid the limelight, but he was still laughed at by his Norwegian colleagues behind his back because of this. That's one of the reasons why he's so intolerable for this new mistake. According to the setting in the film, the male protagonist is quite attractive. Female students, female colleagues, and girls at the front desk of the hotel take all. From this, we can see that he was more unruly and unruly when he was young, and he could not resist the temptation of beautiful women. , and those who come to the door do not refuse; they are quite individualistic in handling cases, like to follow their own way, and it is even possible to involve gray areas in order to take shortcuts. He slept with the witness, for what reason? Just seeing the right eye, or do you want to win over witnesses? Whatever the reason, he failed to live up to his high-sounding "separation of work and personal emotions." The erotic scene in the car with the schoolgirl witness once again showed his struggles. And this ominous entanglement, the shadow of fear of sex that brings doom seems to have penetrated into the realm of personal emotions that have nothing to do with the case - sex with the girl at the hotel front desk, his sudden roughness frightened and angered her. He hated his hesitation and cowardice, so he used violence to show his strength, and the result was another setback.
This erotic scene is the second half of a rivalry between the male protagonist and the girl at the front desk. The first half (the theme of cowardice & frustration) is that the girl calls the male protagonist over to see the kitten. I believe many people say the little thing to the male protagonist. Impressive cats are disgusting. Take a look at the context.
Woman: It can barely see you now.
Man: I think that's fine.
Woman: So you mean they still have some hope?
Man: No, I find them disgusting.
Woman: They're just a little helpless.
The male protagonist represents death, and the kitten represents new life, homogenous with the dazzling white light. This is the confrontation between death and life. What the male protagonist feels disgusting is not the kitten, but the new life. The new life makes his murderer feel ashamed. In the final analysis, he hates death and himself. When he sees the cat, he may also think of the dog he killed with forged evidence, the entrails and blood of the dog he saw when he took the bullet, and the corpse of the victim girl, after all, cats, dogs, people, It's just a lump of flesh, so weak, so easy to kill them. But once the killer is killed, panic and guilt are so unbearable, the male protagonist survives, but loses completely. The hotel girl believes that birth means hope, which is the way of thinking of ordinary people. As for the male protagonist, his mind has been occupied by the god of death and guilt, and all the thoughts and associations in a moment will focus on this inner demon.
3. The space scheduling of the film is not small. For example, in the chase scene, there are frequent occurrences of guest-to-subject-to-guest-the camera shakes from the main character to his subjective vision and then to the main character, which is used to express the character’s inner panic and confusion. Fear, uncertainty about the outside world, and caution. 1:28:30 The seamless change of time in the same space made possible by the fusion of surreal scenes and moving long shots: shots from the hallucinations of the male protagonist from a sense of guilt - the victim girl lying on the sofa and behind the window The male lead's dead partner Vik, who looked into the room like a child (another evidence of the correspondence between Vik and the male lead's untimely brother), followed three police officers who came and went, and then turned back to the male lead. Lord, finally turned back to the empty sofa and window, and the colleague who was shot in the leg walked to the sofa and completely pulled the male protagonist back to reality.
4. Shadows are used in many movies to express the dark side of the characters' hearts. Shadows are also used in this film, but what is more eye-catching is the dazzling daylight and the dazzling white light reflected by the white snow, which makes the male protagonist dizzy, flustered, Debilitated and sickened, they leave nowhere for shadows to hide, nowhere for sins to hide. This white light is supposed to be the incarnation of the ruthless justice judge, but because it is more ruthless and unpredictable than the male protagonist, this polar white light is stained with an almost supernatural evil.
