not related to schizophrenia

In fact, this film does not really discuss human nature and schizophrenia from beginning to end. The director just uses these elements as a gimmick.

At the beginning of the film, it is explained that the protagonist is actually a serial killer, and there is no hidden element. Just like the dedication of the suspect X of Keigo Higashino, the audience is told who the killer is at the beginning.

Therefore, this film belongs to the high-IQ crime theme, and see how the protagonist can get rid of the identity of the killer to whiten himself.

The second male is a photographer who accidentally discovered the protagonist committing a crime. At the same time, he also wants to kill, and actively participates in the murder of the protagonist.

The heroine is a wealthy police officer who seems to be brave and resourceful, but has never really been taken seriously by the protagonist.

This movie is watching how the male protagonist is handsome, how to play everyone in the palm of his hand, and how to carry out a perfect crime.

In the end, he succeeded, but at the same time left a suspense, his daughter may have inherited his gene and is also a murderer.

The protagonist will live in pain.

Everything is implied in the video, no narration, no lines, which is my favorite directing technique.

great?

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.
