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.
