The truth pulls the whole movie down

The whole rhythm of the film is very tense, and this sense of compactness without delay moved me to tears after watching a few domestic MVs.

The screenwriter's general direction is well written. The setting of a serial murder case that imitates the plot of the novel is full of interesting points. However, the screenwriter obviously didn't think about how to give the murderer a good motive for committing the crime, which made the final truth look a bit abrupt and hasty. , full of randomness and contrived surprises for the unexpected. This made me feel a little bit of a fool to guess who the murderer was countless times during the filming process. I even thought vulgarly that the murderer might be another character of Edgar Allan Poe, but the revealing of the truth seemed more foolish than this vulgar speculation. Much more, or rather sloppy. The whole reasoning process is basically used to restore Edgar Allan Poe's novels, there are no special highlights but it is quite satisfactory.

The picture of the movie is very good, it has a very cold and gloomy feeling with the theme, and the costumes of the protagonists are also very beautiful. The heroine is pretty, she seems to be the young Detective O in "Men in Black 3"? All in all, it's a decent film, you can watch it. PS: The soundtrack at the beginning of the movie is very similar to "Inception"; and the scene where the pendulum axe kills, it is too similar to "Chainsaw". I like the last verse very much: "This kiss is on your forehead, at this moment of separation from you, and let me speak to you bluntly: You are right, my life is but a dream; everything we see What I heard was just a dream within a dream."

    The subject matter is good, but the rhythm of the film is a bit of a problem, it loosens up in the tense parts, and there is a suspicion of conspiracy. Cusack's performance is quite satisfactory

    Doc Clements: I'm sorry, I don't. I have a few ideas... but as you know, he was brought in in a very deranged state.

    Detective Fields: I'm told he was ranting.

    Doc Clements: Yes,. He kept going on and on about telling you that your last name was 'Reynolds'. It that helpful or gibberish?

    Detective Fields: Maybe both.
