The film is based on real events and has a strong sense of documentary throughout. Soderbergh did not take the initiative to add too many meanings to the biography of this character, nor did he tell the audience Mark any plans, but only used the inner narration interspersed throughout the film to speculate on the psychology of a genius.
Most of the narration is that this genius used the knowledge he read in various books to interpret other mediocre life and the mediocre world. At the beginning, he was very relaxed and playful, and he casually commented on the unreasonable and acceptable behavior of other people. The use of it, as the film progresses, gradually more irritable and dissatisfied and more and more weak inner activities to control the facts, and finally when the flaw in the zip code is discovered, the narration and his language in reality intersect for the first time When they got together, it was also the moment when Mark finally surrendered.
In the first half of the film, it is easy to think that this is another typical Soderbergh-style conspiracy and show IQ film, but the final method is very interesting. Mark keeps setting up traps, revealing flaws and using bigger lies. Round, and finally when it all came to light he had become a felon.
The director did not put any labels on this incident. You can say that it is Skynet's sloppy and omission, or you can say that ambition is degenerate, and you can laugh at the bureaucracy of the FBI and various irregular operations of international companies. perverted people and things. I prefer to believe that this is a more real story of a genius liar. He despises mediocre people and takes risks to make a profit. In real stories, no one can tell a big lie, and in the end, he has to face the reality of being arrested.
Matt Damon's performance is the backbone of the entire film. No one can perform his dull but calculating look, and the lies that seem to be full of performance, making it difficult to tell whether they are genuine or not. . To be honest, I can't get enough of Matt Damon's performance in my life.
