After reading a few posts at the top, and taking a closer look at the plot, I feel that there are still a few details that have not been clicked through. As the old lady in the film said, details are the key to everything, whether it is a case or a story. movie.
Obviously, the old woman, her husband, and Doria and his lawyer had already gone through this serial case countless times. Therefore, before the two met, Doria had already figured out how to guide "Goodman", and the old woman was also confident about how to guide Doria and prepared accordingly, such as the newspaper clippings of Daniel's disappearance and the arrest of the male protagonist, and the latter one. The newspaper clipping is self-made, and the pictures in it are synthesized.
The old woman had already known all the incident through Laura before, including the witness and driver, because if there were no witnesses, they would just drive away, and there would be no subsequent destruction of the body. This is an important point. Precisely because she knew there were witnesses, the old woman played the role of Goodman when she first met with the male protagonist. She categorically stated that the witnesses were on the way to the court, in order to force the male protagonist to tell the truth. If she does not know whether there is an eyewitness, she will not risk making up, because the fabricated witness may not be able to trust the male protagonist.
The old woman also knew that the male protagonist was arrested and saw her before taking off in a helicopter, so she believed that the male protagonist should blame her husband for the crime of killing Laura. Facts have proved that the male protagonist did indeed intend to use this as the truth to prevaricate "Goodman." But he wanted to test the level of this "Goodman". Instead of telling her the so-called truth directly, he first fabricated a pretense of witnessing the blackmail of the driver, and wanted to see how "Goodman" entered and exited the hotel room without a trace. Loopholes. "Goodman" was prepared for this and took out the synthesized newspaper clipping of the male protagonist being caught, and deliberately covered the mirror, pointing out that Daniel's mother was on the scene, in order to launch the version of the truth that the male protagonist wanted.
At this time, "Goodman" pretended to answer a call and told the male lead that the witness was the driver. The male protagonist collapsed a bit, and "Goodman" took the opportunity to submit a acquittal version submitted to the court, that is, the male protagonist was not present, and it was Laura who completed the crime of destroying the body. She proposed this version with her own purpose, that is, to get the location of the sunken car. And this is precisely the version that the male protagonist wants "Goodman" to propose for him, because his lawyer later called him and said that he had found the witness driver and could buy him; indicating that they were planning this version a long time ago. But at this time, the male lead’s cell phone was turned off by "Goodman", thinking that the witness driver was on his way to the court. The driver would confirm that the male lead was also present at the time, so he heard "Goodman" saying that the witness was Some crashed when the driver was. He raised this question before "Goodman" confessed that he had fabricated an eyewitness. The male protagonist was a little dissatisfied at this time, but he had no choice but to point out the place where the car was sunk, and revealed the fact that Daniel was drowned, because if Laura destroyed the body, then the autopsy will find this, and he must first give the "Gu" Deman" to make it clear.
This time it was the old woman's turn to collapse. She didn't know that her son was drowned before, so she couldn't control it, and directly accused the male protagonist of being a scum. But the play still has to go on, and she immediately put forward the true version of the truth, that is, the male protagonist led the destruction of the body in a car accident and killed Laura. The basis is the mirror in the composite picture. The hero is forced to admit that he killed Laura. The truth has since come to light.
There is also a text message problem. In the final version of the old woman, she said that Laura set up a timed sending, and she was afraid that the male lead would not be able to come. This reason is obviously not persuasive. This text message was probably sent to himself by the male protagonist after he killed Laura, as evidence of her being framed, because Laura’s death time cannot be determined, and it is the male protagonist who decides whether to send the text message first or send the text message later. Although the old woman did not witness this process, she probably guessed that the text message was not sent by Laura. The reason why she did not tell the truth is that she deliberately left a little loophole to pretend that she knew the truth on the spot, so she was ill-considered to show that everything was not planned in advance, and to avoid showing off her feet. .
It can be seen that the old woman is thoughtful and working step by step. She pretends to accept the male protagonist's statement, and uses the composite picture in the newspaper clipping to help launch the truth version of Daniel's father as the murderer, and then proposes a solution for the male protagonist and obtains the information she needs (sun car Position), and finally try to find out and expose the male protagonist’s lies. The whole play was done in one go, without leaking. Although there was a small mistake in the middle (learning that Daniel was drowned), she still held it, without making the male lead suspicious, and smoothly walked out of the room. The male protagonist wanted to end it after she proposed a solution and continued to conceal the truth, but he did not expect to be fooled by a composite picture.
This also shows the two key elements of the film: witnessing the driver and the composite picture on the newspaper clippings. The old woman first used eyewitnesses to persecute the male protagonist, and then used the witness as the driver to make the protagonist confuse the protagonist, honestly explain the location of the sinking car, and finally used a lawyer to find and buy the witnessed driver as a response, exposing the original idea of the protagonist. Another key to this is that the male protagonist received a call from the lawyer and gave the call to the old woman, so that the old woman was able to turn off his mobile phone. This is a dangerous move. Give her the call, then it will be difficult to tell the rest; if there is no such thing, the old woman's scene will be full of loopholes, then why does she have to risk it, whether she has other strategies in advance, this is the only one in the movie Although true, it is too coincidental. The composite picture was first used by the old woman to deceive the male protagonist, as evidence to prove that Daniel's father was the murderer, and later used to expose the male protagonist's lies, but also used the props to the extreme.
