The label of the movie is scary and suspenseful, but I was shocked and moved and saw love.
After witnessing a brutal murder, anna was attacked by the murderer and fell into the river. Although she was lucky to be rescued, she suffered from facial agnosia, "Accurately speaking, this is not a disease, but a loss of a function". Without this function, Anna's life is in chaos, she can't recognize her father, lover, friend, student. Besides, there is a deep fear, because she does not know when the prisoner will threaten her . At this time, the female doctor taught her to learn to use other methods to replace it. Although the result was still unsatisfactory, it was at least helpful to Anna. If the female doctor opened a crack for Anna's dark life, then the policeman Carters is for Anna's dark life. anna opened a window. Because unexpectedly, Anna remembered the face of the policeman Carters, (this is also set for the emotional development of the two of them), how to say, it should be Carters' sincerity that moved Anna and made her feel the beauty of life again Well, at the end of the story, anna says "Just when I felt like I lost everything, I saw a face, and in this face, I saw love." Alas, it's always like this in movies, it's sad , Carters stayed away from her in the end, but it didn't matter, because Anna said she would always see him again in the next second, so she wouldn't forget him. Perhaps this is her greatest luck after not having the ability to recognize faces, and she can always see the person she loves.
Speaking of this movie, although the tone is a bit scary, I think it may reflect Anna's true heart. Just imagine, if one day, you lose a function that you are accustomed to, you will feel that nothing is right, the world does not seem to be Your world should be that kind of gloomy, dark, terrifying, hopeless feeling. But so what, it's just a function, life can go on, as long as there is love.
I don't know if anna's facial agnosia is cured or not, but it doesn't matter because she has found another way to live a better life.
