In fact, the structure of the whole movie is also very simple, like a large piece of chocolate, numbered: 1, 2, 3, 4. Eat 1, 2, 4 first, and then take 3 out as the end, as the answer. The entire dark emotions and conflicts are slowly advancing. The director's control of emotions is very good. For example, when Simon and Roben explored the unmanned house, the first scene was the scene of a dark room and corridor without lights, which immediately brought me into a tense atmosphere. The slow panning advance of the camera is chilling.
The ending is an open ending. I appreciate a certain movie reviewer, saying that at the end the director raised a question for everyone: the question of whether it is inherently good or inherently evil, and the open ending is a torture of human nature. Exquisite, cleverly conceived, and emotionally well-placed, it doesn't fall into the stereotype of "complex structure is necessary to constitute suspense". I love it very much. But I can't let myself become lazy, and only discuss simple things, and my own ideas must be deeper.
