Rather than the protagonist chasing the criminal, I think it's more mutual tracking. That's right, not only the protagonist is tracking the criminal, but the criminal is also tracking the protagonist. The criminal spent several months observing the protagonist after the protagonist escaped for the first time. A kind of tracking?
First, the criminal is a perverted murderer.
In the car, there is a story in the dialogue between the criminal and the protagonist: "The daughter and her father live in the forest. Everything about the daughter is taught by the father, and no one finds them." In the protagonist's memory, she stabbed the criminal with a bone fragment. neck, run away. The combination of the two can be considered that the protagonist stabbed the criminal's daughter and killed her (the corpse in the second pit), and the criminal spent a lot of time and energy to understand the protagonist and set a trap to catch the protagonist again after discovering that the police did not believe the protagonist. Avenge her daughter, otherwise, if there is no deep hatred, the criminal should escape to another city to live after exposure. As for the daughter helping the criminals because she has been living in the forest, she does not have a correct view of good and evil. She does not consider murder as evil, but helps the criminal (father) as good.
I've found a lot of people complain about the bad ending, but I'm sure it's the way it should be. It should be that the criminal is just an ordinary perverted murderer, not an invulnerable superman. His body cannot resist bullets, so he lost his combat effectiveness under the two shots of the protagonist and was burned by the protagonist. This ending is the embodiment of the film's style, that is, reality. In reality, the police will not launch a large-scale campaign for a few words of mental illness, nor will normal people; in reality, the police will not pay attention to a dark cloud kidnapping case and get nervous. A mental patient with a gun is swaying on the street and this People have also used this gun (threatened the locksmith son); in reality everyone will cooperate at the police's request to trick the protagonist to go home without believing her "fantasy" including the protagonist's sister's boyfriend. As for the new policeman, rather than trusting the protagonist, he is more curious (fancy?) the protagonist himself.
The attitude of the police in the film has always been very negative, and some people doubt this. Let's take a look at the premise. The first kidnapping police dispatched all police forces to search the forest for a week, which is not negative at all. The results of it? There was not even a single hair, and the protagonist was found to be mentally ill at this time, so the police felt that they had been tricked, but there was no way to retaliate, who made people mentally ill? Therefore, when the police reported the crime for the second time, they were disgusted with the protagonist, and it was normal for them to have a negative attitude. Furthermore, there is time for disappearance, and evidence is required for kidnapping. If there is no time for kidnapping without evidence, the police will not pay attention to the report of a neurotic. Negative in normal reality however.
The new policeman, I suspected it was the male protagonist several times. I wanted to see the protagonist always support her when no one believed her, and finally defeat the villain boss and the younger sister together. In the end, both career and love have been harvested. How perfect! But it's still because of reality, reality is not a fairy tale, and a promising new police officer won't ruin his future for a pretty lunatic. His role is just to add suspense. The first concern about the protagonist can make people misunderstand that it is a temptation. At the end, he sends soup to my mother to make me think that he is a criminal. The soup is an excuse to ask for leave, but it is actually to murder the protagonist. It turns out that I think too much, and it is estimated that many people think too much as I do.
There are many dead bones in the pit that the criminals have killed before, and the photos in the tent prove this, so why no one reported it before? The protagonist reported the crime, no one doubted? From the identity of the protagonist, the protagonist's parents are dead, the sisters are separated (don't be locked in a mental hospital after being found out of a mental illness, and live together after being picked up by the sister), no boyfriend, no contact with the neighbors, which means that the protagonist is missing. No one cares about death, and no one reports the crime (in the eyes of the criminal, the criminal does not know that the protagonist has a sister). Therefore, the people the criminals killed in the past are the same as the protagonist, and no one knows that, which makes the police think that there is no criminal.
In the end, the protagonist and his sister hugged and the sister's eyes changed instantly. It was the protagonist who quietly told the sister of the murder. The two were safe, and they didn't want to turn themselves into a murderer, so they admitted that they were fantasy criminals, and no one kidnapped them at all. After passing her, the same sister will also say that she was not kidnapped and stuffed under the house, but ran away from home, etc.
The secret name email to the police chief at the end is to prove that he is right or that the protagonist's conscience finds that he wants to find a burial opportunity for other girls who died tragically.
