Regarding Eva, some people think she is the most selfish and insidious, which is too much to say. People who really only think about themselves will not want to help others, and watching from the sidelines is the best way to protect themselves. So in my opinion, all of Eva's performances are just a series of mental breakdowns of an ordinary person in a certain environment. She is not someone who is very scheming from the beginning, like when she tries to save an old lady at the beginning of the movie; she goes to talk to a blonde woman out of concern after her child is stolen; Mickey cuts her finger on her Going up to grab a knife, the blonde woman was abused and she rescued her (although she didn't succeed), etc. There are other details that can tell what kind of person she is, but she is just a woman who is not as strong as a man, and she has more than her heart. Insufficient, under the rule of men (especially the two perverted ones), she is like an ant and may be killed by them at any time. Eva deeply realized this in the development of the situation step by step, until at last she was forced to chop up the body, and when she asked the injured man for help to no avail, she realized that no one could save her, she could only save herself. I think what the director wants to portray is the change in the mentality and quality of a person who is still kind-hearted in a desperate situation. The reason for such a change is that she is not strong enough, calm enough, smart enough, and uncertain.
The character Eva, I think she is a relatively calm and melancholy person, who doesn't like to talk, which has a lot to do with her unfortunate life experience, so she seems calm and calm compared to other people, but she is calm, so it's not so much to say She is calm, rather than melancholy. At the same time, she is also observant and relatively intelligent.
Regarding Eva's intelligence, it can be seen from the emotional aspect. I think she likes hurt men and has long disliked lawyers. From their conversations, it can be seen that she is indifferent and absent-minded towards lawyers because she used drugs before. She has always been sarcastic and contemptuous towards her, so their relationship should have broken down, and when she answered the question of the injured male brother, she answered "love" the lawyer, I think she should be saving the lawyer, if she answered no love, then it means If she is the injured man (the elder brother is very aware of the ambiguity between her and his younger brother), then the situation of the lawyer will be even worse, and it is very likely that he will be bullied even more by the perverted duo, in order to live in that harsh environment In order to avoid more conflicts, Eva has been restraining her feelings. I think she has considered this very carefully. As for the betrayal of Eva at the end, although disappointing, it is also the result of her collapse after a series of cruel events. After experiencing the failure of choosing to believe in the perverted duo, and after asking her lover for help to no avail, she She no longer believed anyone, so when she saw the fire getting out of control, she went from being overwhelmed to waking up suddenly, realizing the seriousness of the problem, and then resolutely decided to escape at her own expense. I think her selfish behavior is expected after experiencing so many horrible things.
In general, this film does not have a selfless, strong leader, a savior like in many movies! There is no such character setting in this film. All the people are ordinary people. Mickey is not a leader because he is really bad at communication. , clamoring for someone to guide them, but no one stood up. In a desperate situation, if there is no leader who can persuade others, the team will inevitably disperse quickly. Two ruffians, a lunatic, a coward, a woman with a depressed personality, a gunshot wounded man who is too docile and indifferent, an ordinary black man who goes his own way, and a basement owner who is distrusted by everyone. Combining these characteristics, the development of the main line of this film, in my opinion, is still very clear in rhythm and goes with the flow.
