Mirage: Wonderful, but not amazing enough

The first suspense thriller to watch on the big screen, the whole process is wonderful, but it does not feel as amazing as many people's perceptions. After thinking about it, I think the reason may be that although the details of the script are well laid out and completed, and the atmosphere is also very strong, the narrative technique is still too original and too well-established. In other words, if this kind of book is given to Nolan or Finch, you can imagine how it will be presented. However, today's Nolan and Finch no longer need such complicated script blessings. They have reached the stage of subtraction where the avenue is simple and the elephant is invisible. Therefore, "Mirage" is an excellent work directed by an excellent craftsman. Compared with "Inception" and "Gone Lover", it lacks a master director at a higher level.

    The director is about to become an "old friend of Chinese movie fans". The first half is a little boring, and after crossing the line, he starts to burn his brain, similar to "Black Hole Frequency".

    It is much more complicated than "The Invisible Guest". The writing difficulty is very high. There are many characters and clues, and the context and motives are always clear. Dialectical repeatedly in different time and space, it has a very realistic depiction of the "butterfly effect". The murder itself has become less and less important. Choosing a life that belongs to your own dimension is the most important thing. After all, the life you have experienced is your own life.
