Comments on Mr. Brooks

Clearly, Mr. Brooks is a successful man, and his business success has made him Person of the Year. In order to succeed in the real world, in addition to having an extraordinary IQ, of course, you must have an extraordinary emotional intelligence, as well as the abundant energy that an extraordinary person has.


From another perspective, Mr. Brooks has to be a very successful killer. Countless murders, but also have to show their feet. The crime scene has to be carefully decorated, with thumb marks, all of which, of course, require the police to have no idea who the killer is. Such a successful killer has been impossible for the police to find out for many years. In addition to having an extraordinary IQ, of course, he must have an extraordinary emotional intelligence and the abundant energy that an extraordinary person has.



To sum up the two points, Mr. Brooks has been greatly admired by me. In the world of black and white, he can achieve such success. If he is compared to a computer, then his CPU, memory, hard disk, motherboard, etc., should be extremely powerful! At the same time, he can split another personality, Marshall, to help him calculate every detail and flaw in the crime. This split virtual machine is much more powerful than any ordinary computer.



Of course, the black and white life of this successful man was not all smooth sailing. In a normal life, his daughter also seems to have inherited his love of killing; in the life of a killer, he happened to meet a thief and took a scene of a crime. These two events almost changed the life of this Superman, but Superman is a Superman after all. Although he took a certain risk, his powerful computing brain could easily settle these two things. If possible, I would really like to dissect the brain of Mr. Brooks to see how it differs from that of Einstein?



Although the split personality is so important in this film that in order to reflect a positive side and a dark side, two actors are used to play Brooks and Marshall, but this film is obviously not about split personality, so please don't take it. Compare this film with "ID" or "Life is Beautiful"; in addition, this film is not a serious crime thriller, and murder is not the main scene. Personally, I think this film should be a film about the mental journey of a successful person and a successful killer. The protagonist of the film is only one person, Brooks, and his overt success is explained very clearly at the beginning of the film, and needs no elaboration. And the success of his killer identity is obviously a bit of a wave, and this film should spend 2/3 of the time telling how he dealt with this wave.



In addition, the shadow of overt success is also indispensable, that is, Brooks' daughter. This shadow is related to heredity. Although his daughter inherited the essence of murder, it seems that he did not inherit his smart brain. The daughter's scene throughout the film has been telling how stupid she is and how greedy she is at the same time. Although Brooks handled his daughter's case well, this greedy little idiot he loved so much may always be the biggest knot in his heart! The scene where his daughter kills him in the dream shows that Brooks' smart brain has been alerted that his daughter may be the stumbling block to his success. But as a father's love for his daughter, he may want to take a break and exercise his beloved daughter well. After all, no matter how successful a person is, it is not good to have no successor, right?



Although the policewoman has a lot of scenes, I personally think that this line seems too long. Maybe the director wants to talk about a woman who is very eager to succeed, but in fact, she has never really achieved success. Even the husband who has been entangled with her for a long time and has been unable to solve it, Brooks helped her solve it. It seems that this is a stark contrast. A successful man has always been very low-key; a policewoman who is eager to succeed has always been very unhappy.



Another point, it seems that in this film, killing is a very exciting thing. Brooks likes to kill. Smith, who likes to steal and shoot, also likes to kill. Brooks' daughter Jane also likes to kill. Maybe, killing is an impulse that has been lurking in everyone's heart for a long time. You and I both have the desire to kill. It just depends on whether you have enough ability to settle this matter. If you really have the brain and ability like Brooks, maybe you Will actually do murder.



Let me tell you one thing, an idea that has been lurking in my heart for a long time, in fact, I have also wanted to kill for a long time...

Mr. Brooks quotes

  • Mr. Earl Brooks: Finding someone you think would be fun to kill is a bit like, well it's a bit like falling in love. You meet a lot of candidates, and you like some of them, and they're nice. But they're not right. And that special one comes along, and your heart beats faster, and you know that's the one.

  • Marshall: She did it, didn't she?

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Yeah. It'll take the cops a week to ten days to put their case together, and then... and then they will come back and arrest her.

    Marshall: What are you going to do?

    [Earl breaks down and cries, while Marshall hugs him]

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Oh, God. Oh, God. I was afraid of this since before she was born. She has... she has what I have.

    Marshall: Yes, she does. But you were always smart about it. She was stupid. She did it because she got off - okay, I understand. She's in it for fun - okay, I understand. But why didn't she think it through? A hatchet? And she left it there.
