——First of all, I want to say that "Mr. Brooks" is a wonderful and good movie. Even if you know the plot and even the ending, the process is still very interesting!

——Secondly, I want to say that this film is not just about split personality, we can’t just see it from the display of the image, that is, Michelle and Earl seem to be polar, but they are actually unified, because they are The paradox in the depths of human nature is the union within the body.

——If Earl kills because of addiction, then Michelle's liking to eat, zuo-ai, and killing are the subconscious driving force; why do voyeur + photography lovers like to kill? Thrill, conquer, cool! Women police officers are rich and powerful, why are they obsessed with chasing fingerprint serial killers? Because she wants to prove to her father through her own efforts that although she is not a boy, she can be as strong as a boy! what are these? These are desires. Driven by desire, people do what most satisfies their inner world, be a killer, or bring criminals to justice.

——The movie also shows the scene of quitting addiction. What is addiction? Addiction is a desire, and the realization of desire leads to addiction, so it needs to be controlled. Earl is constantly fighting with himself, but desire is a powerful beast, always breaking free, especially after experiencing the constant stimulation of reality. .

——I was expecting the policewoman and Earl to fight, but the film ends just right, the open ending just predicts countless possibilities, even the killer's daughter may do something to her dear father!

Mr. Brooks quotes

  • Mr. Earl Brooks: Finding someone you think would be fun to kill is a bit like, well it's a bit like falling in love. You meet a lot of candidates, and you like some of them, and they're nice. But they're not right. And that special one comes along, and your heart beats faster, and you know that's the one.

  • Marshall: She did it, didn't she?

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Yeah. It'll take the cops a week to ten days to put their case together, and then... and then they will come back and arrest her.

    Marshall: What are you going to do?

    [Earl breaks down and cries, while Marshall hugs him]

    Mr. Earl Brooks: Oh, God. Oh, God. I was afraid of this since before she was born. She has... she has what I have.

    Marshall: Yes, she does. But you were always smart about it. She was stupid. She did it because she got off - okay, I understand. She's in it for fun - okay, I understand. But why didn't she think it through? A hatchet? And she left it there.
