After watching the movie, many viewers feel that the title of the movie does not match the actual content. After all, this is the story of a husband who hired a murderer to think he planned a perfect murder but was killed by his wife.
But thinking about it carefully, I think that the seemingly legitimate defense of the heroine in the end echoes the name of the movie. This heroine's counterattack against the hero is a perfect murder.
The gun hidden in advance, just the right punch to anger the male protagonist, and the trajectory of escaping towards the door, all indicate that the female protagonist has a premeditated plan.
When did the heroine start to kill? In fact, she saw that there was nothing in the shoe box beside the safe by accident. She became suspicious and knew that the password to the safe was the wedding anniversary. When the male protagonist was taking a bath, he opened the safe and found the tape. He had listened to the tape. Killed afterward. So she pretended to go out to buy food, get dressed, hide her pistol, and use the suggestion of "change the lock" to lead the male protagonist to find the key and commit the murder.
Why do I think it's murder and not self-defense?
1. If the female protagonist simply wants the male protagonist and her lover to go to prison, after confirming that the male protagonist hired a murderer and mastering the evidence, she can call the police on the grounds of shopping instead of risking a showdown.
2. The heroine is definitely reluctant to call the police, because once the police call the police, the hero will be arrested. With the vigorous investigation by the police, the fact of her cheating will definitely be made public. This is a very serious scandal for people in the upper class, and this is also a lover The reason why so many rich women can be extorted successfully.
3. When you find out that there is someone around you who wants to kill you, your first reaction must be to leave him, such as divorce. However, because they have not signed a prenuptial agreement, the property and debts of the two are jointly owned. Once divorced, when the property is liquidated, the heroine needs to help her ex-husband repay the debt, and may lose most of her property, which is why she will never willing.
4. Use self-defense to kill the male protagonist and disclose the tape to the police, so that the fact of her derailment can be hidden, because the reason for money is enough as the motive for the male protagonist to kill. And because of the male protagonist's crime, it is very likely that the female protagonist does not need to bear the debt of the male protagonist (this is uncertain).
To sum up, the female protagonist has set up a bureau to kill the male protagonist using self-defense, so it can be called a super-perfect murder.
Of course, the heroine can live to the end and get rid of the big burden of the hero, which is also favored by the god of fate. After all, when the heroine killed the murderer for the first time, it was all luck; being able to find the shoebox and search for the safe along the shoebox was also a good sign of luck.
However, it is full of drama and contradictions, which is also the attraction of the film. As for why I gave it three stars, it's probably because I'm still looking forward to seeing a crime movie that really succeeds in premeditated murder.
