We are usually accustomed to "abandoning it" "for it's sake" - abandoning faith for ideals, despising the law for the future, forgetting others for ourselves... and we are obliged to believe in our own wrong "belief" without reservation, immersed in The pleasure of sin is the fuse that breeds fanaticism. In the movie, in order to settle the fanatics, idealists are attracted. Brooklyn, which alternates between the old and the new, is just a bridge between the two. Through a series of detective fragments, the truth of the mystery case is thrown away one by one, and it is not only individuals who are drawn out. It is the corruption of the whole system. At the end of the movie, Lionel handed over a document. We saw that the evil was subdued, justice was done, urban civilization returned to harmony, and humanity reached a little balance. However, the core of the movie (humanity) has not been strengthened. , it is not as full of contradictions and extremely unified as "Shutter Island", nor does it have the philosophical thinking of the ultimate torture of the human soul like "Batman: The Dark Knight". Edward's self-directed "Brooklyn Secret" has done a good job of research and performance as a mystery film should. However, behind a good mystery film is not only meticulous ideas and perfect clues, it must also be like The light of humanity possessed by The Witness for the Prosecution—the negation of the negation of humanity.
