To love or not to love. . . . . "Before I Sleep"

The original intention of the film should be to take the suspense line, but in fact, for me personally, the suspense is not enough. Haven't seen the original, so I don't know if that's how it was designed. The film begins with Christine suspecting Ben, and in the end the murderer is also Ben. We are just following Christine along the way to restore history and find evidence. The scene and the music didn't make me feel nervous. Nicole Kidman and Colin Firth are also old actors, but I have to say that they did not perform well in this film.

On the contrary, as the second male doctor, Xiao Qi felt that she acted somewhat. Mark Strong grasped the delicate relationship of being Christine's attending physician just right.

Every morning, Dr. Nash would make a phone call to explain to Christine, who had a blank memory, that he was her primary doctor, guide her to find her video diary in a closet drawer, and then drive to pick her up to her clinic. For such patients, Nash admitted that he is interested. However, Nash later confessed to Christine that he would introduce his good friend to Christine as the attending physician. Although he tried to speak in the tone of a doctor, he seemed to stop talking. At the end of the film review, Dr. Nash said "Im here" in front of Christine's bed, and silently brought Christine's real husband in. This kind of subtle emotion that hesitant to say, under Mark Strong's dignified appearance as a doctor, was revealed by each subtle movement and each helpless look in his eyes. Xiao Qi believes that this is the only point of interest in this film. Um, wouldn't that be a bit harsh to say?

Christine's real husband, Ben, is a man who claims to really love Christine, but has to leave her for the sake of the child's growth. I just don't understand, even if the love is not so deep, have you really never thought of this sick ex-wife with amnesia every day for four years? He also kept saying that it was for the growth of the child. If it was really for the growth of the child, would it be possible to completely obliterate the existence of the mother? ! Moreover, in the last appearance of Ben, the face of Ben, the camera stopped for so long, I thought, what is the turn of the plot, because his face feels more Mike than the real Mike's face, and it turned out to be overestimated. screenwriter.

Finally, Christine's fake husband, Mike, is a morbid love. But to be able to endure such a person for four years, let her know herself again every morning, day after day, repeat, repeat, repeat. . . It also requires a lot of perseverance. Wouldn't it be better if the heroine kept walking under Mike's care if she didn't find the truth. . . .

In a word, it is a pity for three good actors. . . .
