Everything you see is what I want you to see

The film is actually very simple and complex, the story of a perverted killer encountering a perverted policewoman.

The perverted killer played a long play and thought it was all under his control; the perverted policewoman played a longer play and was still under his control.

From an evolutionary point of view, the policewoman's childhood experience is much more profound than the killer's growth history, just as Lecter's insight was so superhuman after witnessing his sister being killed and boiled. If you think so, then you really don't understand. Let me give you some more hints. The policewoman is talking about her childhood memories. Please don't take it seriously. She is lying to the killer.

At the beginning of the appearance of the policewoman and the tentative dialogue, she has fully demonstrated her observation and analysis ability. If you want to play, I will play with you, and play slowly like this. Finally, she calmly made a phone call to collect the corpse. This is the horror and fun of this film.

"Everything you see is what I want you to see." This sentence doesn't refer to the killer's escape, but to the entire process from the killer's appearance to the end.

    The crux of the problem is that as a suspense film, all the stories are within the expectations of the audience, and there are no surprises or surprises. No, Paul Dano's performance was particularly dazzling and surprising. The rhythm and atmosphere of the whole film are weird.

    The beautiful police detective fell in love with the suspect. The dark scene at the beginning and the rainy weather reminded me of the "Seven Deadly Sins", but it's not like this after watching it, it's far worse! But as a commercial movie , is still good, that kind of horror feeling, at least two times scared me, and the last scene of the murder in the elevator. Ethan Hawke is not good enough to play the bad guy, although those eyes are still good.
