A bit of a perverted version of "American Beauty", yet another story of split personality. The middle-class Mr. Brooks, who is well-behaved in front of people, has a serial killer on the other side. Perhaps this shouldn't be attributed to split personality, it's just two voices and two conflicts in a person's heart, which are more vividly portrayed. From beginning to end, he calmly knew what he was doing.

There was a scene that was very profound. After he shot and killed someone, he closed his eyes and revolved around intoxicated, enjoying the fun of killing. It was extremely abnormal and pathological.

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.
