I accidentally clicked on the movie, but I was quite pleasantly surprised after watching it. Surprise comes from exceeding expectations. Maybe in our inherent thinking, Indian movies are always plug-ins, and they sing and dance whenever they disagree. There are many good works and good stories that people often overlook. Such as Aamir Khan's works, such as "Slumdog Millionaire", such as the recently watched "The Tuner".
First of all, you can catch people's attention at the beginning, escape and chase in rainy nights, stupid police, murder cases, and all of a sudden the suspense is suspended.
In the film, the sheriff said something, what is the truth? There are at least three kinds, the truth in Maya's mouth, the truth in the writer's mouth, and the truth that exists objectively. This line is a classic.
Three dead people, three cases, but all by coincidence, as the author said on the plane at the end, some people use the truth, some people use lies, and he uses coincidences.
The story is ingeniously designed and interlocking, and the filming technique is equally ingenious. It is spoken from the perspective of different people, and the direct recitation and flashbacks can be switched freely.
The first girl who committed suicide, because the writer leaked the truth, received too much attention from the media, and chose to commit suicide without the pressure of public opinion.
The second writer's wife, dissatisfied that the writer indirectly killed the girl, wanted to cancel the new book launch. The writer used his wife's congenital heart disease to create a coincidence of natural death from a heart attack.
The third lawyer took the initiative to call the police and ran away to the lawyer's house, framing the housewife Maya and her lover, creating a coincidence of love and murder.
The writer and Maya, as the two biggest suspects, have a mixture of lies and truth in their dialogues. They can't help but admire their ingenuity. A good story is more enjoyable than just focusing on big scenes, big actions, and special effects.
The phrase "you have no interest in the truth" inadvertently revealed the ruthless satire of the police and the media in the film. In addition to the sheriff, whether it is the leader of the police station who is under pressure to solve the case for three days, the police officer who is listless and resentful, or the media who are curious and impetuous. Like the line in "There will be no future", "Children can distinguish right from wrong, adults only see the pros and cons". After all, what is more important to the police than to find out the truth and punish criminals?
