Is the reversal at the end of the Indian version of "The Tuner" necessary?

When I first heard "The Tuner", I thought it was a European and American film, similar to a literary film like "The Pianist at Sea", but I didn't expect it to be an Indian film.

A lot of Indian films have been released in China in recent years, most of them are positive, inspirational, and very punctual, so I thought it was a story about a piano prodigy in a remote area of ​​India, but I guessed wrong again .

So this time, I watched "The Tuner" and was surprised by the many reversals of the story , and I was surprised to apply Gao Xiaosong's mantra here. In my impression, except for Aamir Khan's "Unknown Death" which borrowed from "Memento", I haven't seen too many so-called Indian suspense films.

According to the statistics of lovely netizens, there are as many as 50 reversals in "The Tuner", which can be called a reversal drama. Coupled with its translation of "Invisible Melody", it is not difficult to remind people of the recently released movie "Invisible Melody". Mirage director Oriol Paul's masterpiece "The Invisible Guest".

Speaking of which, the endings of these two films have the same effect, they are always reversed, and the last blow at the end makes the audience hooked . Personally, I think the script of "The Invisible Guest" is more elaborate, and the reversal at the end is stronger and more powerful.

The drama "The Tuner" is not an Indian original. It was originally adapted from a French short film of the same name in 2010. The short film is only less than 14 minutes. The story is about a frustrated pianist pretending to be a blind man to make a profit. Witness a homicide on a door-to-door tuning service.

I also read the script of the short film. It is well written, short and concise, and the story is reversed many times in less than ten minutes, which brings strong shock to people.

The Indian version of "The Tuner" expands the short film and adds a lot of localized things in India, especially in the second half of the film, where the tuner's work is transferred to the sale of human organs. As said in the lyrics, what is life, life is inseparable from the liver.

When the doctor was about to cut off the male lead's kidney, I also felt that my kidney was trembling and I didn't dare to open my eyes to see it. Fortunately, the mother and child were not cut because of the traffickers. This is also a reversal.

At the end of the film, after the male protagonist and his girlfriend talk about the whole story, the female protagonist said that the cornea of ​​the femme fatale should have been used. The cans are knocked flying.

This ending is the most unexpected reversal, because its appearance proves that the male protagonist is not blind, so the things mentioned above may not be true, and the audience needs to think about what is the truth.

When the focus is on human nature, it will make the film thicker . If that blow is removed, the whole movie story is actually complete, but what do we think of such a movie?

We may fall into the situation of holding one and stepping on one, the femme fatale woman deserves to die, the male lead is really kind!

In fact, the male protagonist in the film is not a good person. He does have the element of pursuing art by pretending to be blind, but he is more profiting from his blindness.

The house he rents is cheap, he can get more tips, he is a blood sucker of social resources.

And his reversal is very cool, but it reveals his nature, he is a liar, and he does not have such a lofty moral quality.

He also became an accomplice in this murder.
