murder

From a poor student working in a bar to a wide wife who has a house, a car and a yacht. It's understandable to be beaten back to its original form overnight and become depressed, but to blame everything on her husband and concoct such a murderous farce is really incurable. After Dr. Banks finally brought Dr. Siebert to justice, he didn't let Emily go as agreed because, "The best prediction of the future is the behavior of the past." This woman who can betrayed by anyone is not worthy of help.
This woman has no friends, otherwise she wouldn't have no one to talk to her during the trough. Dr. Siebert easily bends her and becomes an accomplice effortlessly. It is also because of Emily's selfish mentality that she is a mother if she has milk and can save her life if she has straw.
But I still think that as a psychologist with professional knowledge, there is always a better way to manipulate stock prices by slandering antidepressants than killing people. Dr. Siebert’s plan is not so much just for commercial fraud, it is more important to get rid of Martin, and to take Emily as his own, and make some money just smoothly. At least her feelings for Emily are obviously stronger than Emily's for her. She really wanted to stay and stay together, but unfortunately, like Martin, she was not entrusted with it.
Emily suffers from depression. Her suicide may have been accidental or subconscious. So from wearing a seat belt during the crash and the company playing a video of a car crash test, it can be inferred that everything was a conspiracy, which is somewhat far-fetched.
More far-fetched is that the key to the success of this plan depends more on the IQ of the doctors they framed. Especially for Emily, this plan first needs to make sure that she is mentally ill, and secondly, that she is a murderer. And this doctor must be capable enough to acquit her and be cured and discharged from the hospital, but he can't detect clues and discover the conspiracy. Such requirements are too harsh. And if the conspiracy fails, whether it's being treated as a murderer or mentally ill, Emily will be imprisoned all his life. Such a plan, a woman so selfish would agree to implement it, it is somewhat whimsical.
Regarding Dierdre, whether it is the doubt when it comes to the Alison incident, or the obvious posing of Emily's photos, she will be irritated. At least it shows that she doesn't trust Doctor Banks that much. A woman with a child must have been hurt once, trusting a man again, and still trusting when a lot of evidence is not good for him. It takes a lot of courage and love.
So it seems that the kindest woman in this film is still Martin's mother. This mother who has great sympathy for the woman who killed her son by herself and will speak for her, slapped after learning the truth. , But also the anger of the viewers.
Catherine Zeta-Jones is indeed old, but if you are watching the film soon after watching "The Broken City", you still have some hope for it. For Rooney Mara, if you have only watched "Dragon Tattoo", wait to be amazing.
