Famous detective writers reason about their own stories. Well, this idea has been deduced countless times by a large number of detective reasoning works, so what is the novelty of this film? If you don't read Edgar Allan Poe's novels, this film is a relatively inferior reasoning film for those who are not familiar with his works. What's more, the method of deducing the murderer in the end has nothing to do with all the previous clues. It was just a deliberate mistake of the murderer to expose himself. This is not called detective reasoning, but it is called a momentary intentional miss. As for the murderer's motives and strength, he can compete with Professor Moriarty (I feel it after reading a short comment by a bean friend).
The tone and picture of this film are quite good, the top hats, carriages and trench coats in the 19th century, as well as elegant ladies and girls, it seems that Hollywood has been shooting stories of this era, which is equivalent to our Qing Dynasty drama, and The modern age is not too far away, and it is far enough to grasp a large amount of historical data to reconstruct the conditions of the time.
The Edgar Allan Poe in this film is portrayed as a down-and-out writer. I did a quick search and found that this writer actually got along pretty well, and his love and career were both prosperous. You know, he was a pioneer in deduction based on clues several years earlier than Conan Doyle. In addition, the phrase "literati are light" may be especially suitable for the literati of that era, hehe. Verne was also a man of that era, what a golden age.
