The wonderful part of the film lies in the subversive ending of the plot and the excellent performance of the three protagonists who change their temperament before and after. The so-called drama, in terms of the above two aspects, this film provides a textbook-like rigorous template, so we can read it again and again, if we have not grasped the concept of drama. I read it two or three times, watched Cage's nerves in this film two or three times, and finally understood that the drama is "if life deceives you, please don't be sad, because we also deceive life." Therefore, the drama of the film Here you can rise to the drama of life. If you want to dig deeper, the life that is difficult to distinguish between true and false will definitely make some people add inexplicable sighs. This is no longer within the power of entertainment. In short, the purpose of choreographing and directing the audience has been successfully achieved. If we are deceived If you want to convince yourself that you are deceived, then review the practical significance of being deceived. Let’s leave such a grand event to a famous film critic in a famous film magazine. Don’t forget, the first 100 minutes of the movie are fun and enjoyable. The family atmosphere is very shocking!

To say that the ending of the great reversal in the film is really stunned, but it is not necessarily impeccable. Roy was suddenly knocked unconscious by a stick while cleaning up the corpse in the room. The audience with strong divergent thinking You should know what's going on. The lively and lovely Angela can't wait to show her "inherited" talent for cheating from her "father". It always makes people feel that things are not going well. Of course, we will never expect that it will be so bad that it will completely destroy the front. The warm family atmosphere that was finally established. From this point of view, the director is relatively ruthless. He deceived our feelings and seduced our surprise as pleasure. Of course, it should be admitted that we are also surprised at the same time. produced a strong sense of pleasure. Therefore, one of the criteria for testing a good movie must be to make both the creators and the audience feel happy.

Matchstick Men quotes

  • Roy: [while looking for his pills] Pygmies!

  • Frank Mercer: [narration from Frank's letter to Roy] Dear Roy, You're probably pretty upset. I don't blame you. You taught me most of what I know, so I suppose I owe you better than this. But you always told me if I ever got a shot at a big score, I should take it. And that's what I did. Sorry about the sap on the head, by the way, and for everything else. You always said guys like us can't afford to have regrets about what we do. That's gonna be a little harder for me, but I'll manage. If it makes any difference, you're the best I ever saw. I'd never find a better partner, and now I won't have to. I love you, man. Frank. P.S. Enjoy the gift.
