Really, wow.
This movie was so well done that I didn't know where to start my review.
--At the beginning, the male protagonist Burakov, as a small forensic doctor, has no sense of humor. At 6 o'clock in the evening, he ordered others to go out to find clues, and he was forcibly brought into a serial murder case. It can be said that it is very strange, and I am used to seeing the Sherlock Holmes-style active search for cases. Burakov was hit by a case like this, and he seemed to be closer to life.
--Burakov's wife is really the best wife in the world. An Xin was at home with her husband and children, and her husband returned late, not only did he not complain, but he also served him soup with special care. Her husband in the most difficult moments, is her gentle guidance. The film does not introduce her life in detail, but from the one-sided view of the film, I think it promotes traditional male and female positions, but the film in 1995, so it is.
--The change of Burakov and the officer Fetisov is very prominent in this short film of more than an hour. Burakov learned how to deal with annoying bosses in the bureaucracy and how to get along with people, and Fetisov found his heart. From "I don't fight for anything" to "My heart is pounding, my collar feels tight", Burakov's reply, "Passion", perfectly encapsulates his changes.
--I don't want to analyze the psychology of serial killers, no matter what kind of injury I have suffered, it is not a reason to break up 52 families. The movie's depiction of the murder scene is not particularly graphic, but it is particularly heart-wrenching. Young boys and girls fell straight down, they were so beautiful, but they could only die in pain and humiliation.
--At any time, there will always be ordinary people like Burakov and Fetisov, and psychiatrist (forgot their name), willing to trade their comfort for a better world.
