The script is good, but the plot needs to be rethought

First of all, this is a film that takes time to think about. It is not just as described in the film. It will be dazzling at first (excluding some places that are not strictly prohibited in the film), and then it takes time to savor a well-received film.
The heroine of this film is the main thread. After escaping from the scene of the murder and sobering up, she finds that the world she is familiar with has changed beyond recognition. The kind of psychological panic after sobering up, the trembling fear of being followed by the murderer, Mira played the role very well, showing the inner activities of the heroine through the appearance of the performance. In fact, her inner hero has been constantly changing. The detective at the beginning did not change the heroine’s psychology even if the environment changed. It was all because of the male lead’s beard (this is a place for thinking, paving the way for the psychiatrist to explain that everyone has their own characteristics without changing), and then After having sex with the heroine, the hero shaves off his beard (this is a bright spot in the hero's psychological activity), and the heroine finds out that the hero she thinks is the only hero after shaving his beard is the same as everyone else. The transformation is stopped. When the hero went to rescue the heroine, the blood on the hero's chin made the heroine recognize the detective she was familiar with. (Affirmation of the psychiatrist's explanation of the special situation) When the male protagonist died in the rain, and the rain washed the blood off his face, he miraculously changed N faces. The female protagonist's condition has not changed, she needs strong confidence to face it, so she follows the male protagonist's previous guidance to live on an island with a small population. As she explained herself, everyone even in a small social circle, they are changing every day, when a little girl calls her mother, she can quickly recognize her own child (there is room for imagination) ) at the end (imaginative). The director wants to use this method to explain the emotions between people, which is also a topic of in-depth discussion in the original script. Putting the emotions between people in this storyline and cooking it slowly, those who can withstand all kinds of tests are also good. It's a mother's relationship with her child. This is also revealed at the end of the movie. It is worth watching to let the viewers reposition the emotions between people through the heroine's special and magical experience.

    I did not fully recognize the female protagonist husband, the police, and the murderer. I have to constantly change and interweave in this "facial blindness" scene. It turns out that the audience is the real "facial blindness" patients.

    In addition to this murderer, the other designs are quite good, and the suspenseful atmosphere is also very good.

Faces in the Crowd quotes

  • Dr. Langenkamp: Everyone always goes on about sight, hearing, smelling. But there's another sense. A hidden one. The Japanese call it mooka. It's the sense that allows you to walk without having to thinking about putting one foot in front of the other. You loose this sense and you will become like some of my other patients. Socially paralyzed, withdrawing from the world into the safety of isolation. That's a tempting option.

    Anna Marchant: I don't want that. I want to live normally.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Every day people are going to resent you for not recognizing who they are. They'll call you rude, forgetful, stupid, liar. Now, are you willing to fight back? With all your might?

    Anna Marchant: Yeah.

    Dr. Langenkamp: To try and try again without loosing heart. Without giving an inch!

    Anna Marchant: Yes.

    Dr. Langenkamp: Good. then lets get to work.

  • Dr. Langenkamp: What's the first thing you look at in a man after his face?

    Anna Marchant: My friends and I look at his butt.

    Dr. Langenkamp: [laughs] Well what else is there to look at.
