The movie "Dark Side" naturally also explores the dark side of human nature. In order to test the loyalty of the male protagonist Adrian, Allen hid in the secret room, but unexpectedly lost the key to the secret room. This key runs through the entire movie. clue.

After Fabienne learned the secret of the key, she made her first choice, which was her dark side. Because she and the male protagonist are people from two different worlds, and she wants to step into the male protagonist's world and social level and escape from her own world. But in society, it takes a lot of effort and other factors for people to transcend their own social level. With the help of her crush, she learned that Adrian was also dating members of the band, and she understood that Adrian's world couldn't fit in, and she couldn't transcend her social status. One day, there was no ripple in the water in the washing dish. She thought that Ellen had an accident in the secret room, and immediately opened the door of the secret room. This was her mission—to save Ellen.

Ellen also took advantage of her sympathy and pretended to do something to escape the secret room, but she hurt Fabiana, which was Ellen's dark side and used Fabiana to get her freedom. She wanted Fabiana to know how helpless and hopeless she was inside, and to see Adrian's dark side.

Perhaps the biggest dark side of this film is the male protagonist. Some people say that he knows that Alan is in the secret room, but he doesn't save him. Others say that he doesn't know. . At the same time, Allen also gave Fabiana's life to him at the end of the film. This is an open ending. Do you think he can save Fabiana? Or this is what the director wants to express, everyone has a dark side, including the audience themselves, everyone who has seen the movie has their own opinion, maybe you think the male protagonist is a horrible person, maybe you think he is just a A scumbag. Either way, it's worth thinking about, and the director makes us think about maybe not the dark side of the actors in the play, but the dark side of our audience.
