The plot is far less complicated than advertised. In fact, half or even less than half of it is seen. Children who have watched a lot of thrillers should be able to guess the truth, but this is irrelevant. The end of the film is just to explain its exquisite structure (actually Careful study, there are still bugs), and at the same time, anti-Griffith's last-second rescue (hehe, I spoiled it), use a set of flat clips to mobilize the atmosphere, sensational and at the same time let you really pay attention to the theme.
Speaking of which, this movie is a bit like The Brave One, which is a controversial story about a long-standing topic. On the surface, the protagonist is on one side, but as a director, you can clearly feel He himself is from an omniscient point of view and only tells you the story gently. Although he sympathizes with the protagonist in some aspects (such as Turandot, which runs through the whole film, he did not use this music casually), but on the issue, He just laid out the controversial topic, and did not clearly give you his point of view. The problem still requires you to think about it.
The question of whether the death penalty should survive or be abolished is an old topic. I don’t want to turn film reviews into philosophical or legal papers when I talk about this film, but it is somewhat inappropriate for the film to discuss the death penalty from an angle: the death penalty may lead to wrongful convictions. . Although this can give the defenders a lot of topics, but only one point can be pointed out - what if the death row prisoner is indeed guilty? After all, the film is a case. Therefore, just from the point of view, "Murder Short Film" is better than this film. But it is more ironic that Lao Ji, who filmed the "Murder Short Film", which indirectly contributed to the abolition of the death penalty in Poland, did not have such a strong appeal as Alan Parker - at least in terms of images, this is the case.
Any way, the movie is good, the rotating camera, the quick cuts of the close-up of the letters, I seem to see a little bit of Parker's influence on Stone (the two have a good relationship, Stone won an Oscar for writing the Midnight Express script, and served as the producer of Evita ). Of course, several actors are more eye-catching than the other, especially Kevin Spacy, I have nothing to say about this guy, he can turn any different role into himself - whether it is a failed middle-aged man or an up-and-coming campaign consultant, you see After watching his performances, I will feel that only by acting like him can it be like that. He's not like other movie stars who either became an instant hit (such as the satyr), popular (such as Paul Newman), or overwhelmed by titles (such as Jamie Foxx). But after he won the award, you haven't seen anyone for a few years. It's still amazing to come out and perform (Recount) by chance. There's no other way than to amaze you - What a fucking guy.
