I have always liked watching Oriol Paul's films. His films generally focus on the advancement of the plot, with rigorous logic and constant reversals. He can definitely be regarded as the forefront in the suspense world. From Invisible Guests to Mirages, to the Most Innocent, and back again for this prestigious female corpse mystery. Many people say that this film has many bugs, but in fact, after careful scrutiny, it is found that all the so-called bugs can be filled in by the foreshadowing buried in the plot.
The story of this film is not complicated, that is, the male protagonist and his girlfriend's wife accidentally killed the policeman's wife ten years ago, and then hit and run. The daughter, Ava, forged her identity and deliberately approached and seduced the male protagonist, inducing him to poison his wife. That night, the police stole the body out, and they made suspicions with her daughter, blaming the male protagonist, and made the male protagonist suspect that his wife was not dead. Leaked out, he took the initiative to confess that he had poisoned his wife. At the same time, the daughter gave the male lead the same TH-16. After 8 hours of detention in a high-pressure morgue, the male lead was poisoned and died of a heart attack. The police father and daughter have no interest in the husband and wife, so they were removed and closed the case, which is a perfect crime.
There are several "bugs" that netizens often mention:
1. It is impossible for the heroine to move the house within 8 hours
The focus of this film here is that the police investigated the female protagonist's fake identity and found that there was no such person, so there was not much writing on how to move. But in reality, it is definitely not unreasonable. Since the male protagonist did not go to the female protagonist's house with the police, it is possible that the police reported a false address, or the police and their daughter had already rehearsed how to evacuate the house as soon as possible, but these Neither is the point.
2. Why did the father and daughter steal the corpse after the heroine poisoned the hero
If there is no such part, it would be too bizarre for the couple to die of heart attack in succession. Combined with the identity of the male protagonist as a chemist, this is easy to arouse suspicion. In addition, the woman's family is rich and powerful, and careful investigation by the police may be involved. Out of the identity of the heroine, there are extra branches. On the one hand, stealing the corpse caused the male protagonist to suffer mental torture, and on the other hand made a reasonable explanation for the sudden sudden death of the male protagonist (the high pressure being shut down in the morgue for 8 hours may induce heart disease, especially if the male protagonist has a history of heart disease). Killing the male protagonist completely ends the possibility of the case being overturned.
3. Why does the female lead poison the male lead
The hero in this movie is sure to die. Because the purpose of the father and daughter is to kill the couple, through the conversation between the police and the forensic doctor, it can be seen that the police’s heart has been knotted for ten years. For him, letting the male lead die in front of him is the coolest act of revenge . And to prevent the male protagonist from wanting to understand and give out the female protagonist to create extravagant branches.
4. How can I ensure that only the police are present when the hero dies?
Both of the couple died of TH-16. This drug dissolves in blood and does not produce toxicological reactions. The cause of death was cardiac arrest, and no abnormality was found in the autopsy, so the male lead had nothing to do with how many people were at the scene when he died. .
5. How to ensure that the male protagonist falls in love with the female protagonist
The police father and daughter have been dormant for many years. This is just plan A. In case of failure, there is plan B. It is not so important to fall in love or not. The important thing is that the daughter has won the trust of the male protagonist.
6. Why shoot at the security guard
The policeman is the killer, just to frighten the security guard and ask him to call the police as soon as possible, so as to lead to the incident of the body being transferred, and lead the suspect to the male protagonist, so that the police reasonably suspect that the male protagonist did not want to do an autopsy because he murdered his wife and transferred the body. . In fact, the police fired a few shots, but they didn't chase after him, but the security guards were unlucky, and they were hit by a car when they went out.
7. Cell Phone
The male protagonist has been using his mobile phone for the first half of the year. Later, he was found by the police because he called the female protagonist (lover), and the mobile phone was confiscated. At this time, the police had put another mobile phone in the morgue that only had the male protagonist's wife. On the "Detective", at the same time, the daughter secretly put his wife's mobile phone into the toilet of the restaurant where the husband and wife often go, so when the male owner tried to use the "Detective"'s mobile phone to contact his wife, the restaurant waiter picked it up.
8. The hero and heroine are so openly in love at school, why no one recognizes the heroine
It has been a few years since the male protagonist became a university professor. Most of the students in that year have already graduated. In addition, the female protagonist is not a student of this school. She only came to his class to get close to the male protagonist, so this school should not have People know the heroine, and the heroine lives in Berlin for a long time. She only comes to Spain when she is with the hero, so it is normal that no one recognizes the heroine. However, once the heroine is included in the police suspect list, the chances of being found out will be greatly increased, after all, she is the daughter of the police.
9. Why didn't the police family get into a car accident?
First, the car was crashed, the father and daughter could not get out at all, and there were faint traces of fire behind the car; second, the mobile phone was still a luxury in 2000, the police family may not have a mobile phone, and the male protagonist in the film was a university professor back then. He didn't have a mobile phone. He knew his wife because the car had a flat tire. He waited for three hours before he came to his wife, borrowed a mobile phone from her (the wife is a rich man) and repaired the tire.
In my opinion, the only bug in this film is that since the male protagonist used TH-16 to poison his wife, why would he steal the corpse to avoid the autopsy? Since TH-16 and stealing corpses are the two keys to this film, there are bound to be loopholes in logic. However, the flaws do not hide the truth. The film has laid a lot of foreshadowing. When it was finally reversed, they were all recovered one by one, and the explanation was quite reasonable. On the surface, my thinking followed the male lead's inference, wondering whether the wife would not be dead, or whether the police would be the one who transported the corpse (after all, there are so many coincidences), but I didn't expect the police and the female lead to be father and daughter. Joint Bureau.
The double-line narrative in this film is cleverly used. The bright line is that the male protagonist thinks that his wife is not dead, the detective may be the accomplice who transferred the body, and the dark line is the layout of the police father and daughter. The invisible guest is also the same method, but even the open lines are interlaced with several open lines (because the male protagonist deliberately lied), so it looks a lot more complicated than this film. Mirage is a three-line narrative, and the female protagonist travels through three time and space to affect With the progress of events in various time and space, there is quite a taste of science fiction and suspense. The most innocence is the interlacing of group scenes, putting everyone's past at the forefront of each episode for retrospect, and interspersed with real-life case solving, but rather than reasoning, the director prefers to tell a complete span of more than ten years. The story is bigger.
In short, I like Oriol's style very much, and I hope he will make more new works!
