Simple motives drive behind all complex human behavior. All of this was designed by his patients to destroy him with remorse. The whole plan, in a nutshell, is to use memory gaps to switch identities and allow the perpetrators to self-destruct. The whole plan is based on the precise control of the heart. In the process, we witness an experience where the perpetrator becomes the victim looking for himself. Thanks to the screenwriter's narrative tricks, the audience is deprived of God's perspective, and can only be blinded like Zeff from beginning to end, and at the end, together with Zeff, are told the truth. Fortunately, we can still live to reflect on what we and Zeev have experienced - the perpetrator has completely stood on the opposite side of himself, become a victim, and bear the pain he caused others in the first place. The shot the husband gave to the guard and the shot to ourselves made us understand that, compared with being deprived of the dignity of life, the psychological transformation of the victim into the perpetrator has truly destructive energy.
The ending of the film review named the theme, and the film took the middle part, that is, the process of Zev's search for the target character, as the key part of the film, which made sufficient preparations for the final theme. Zeev saw past Nazi atrocities on the wrong target, and he let painful memories iron through his heart over and over again on his journeys. If there is no such foreshadowing, Zev will continue to identify himself as a victim, let the flames of revenge ignite, and let the audience find the real goal and what will happen after it is found. It doesn't push Zeff to the breaking point, and it doesn't make for a stunning artistic effect. In terms of narrative skills, the film successfully created a suspense from the audience's perspective, subverting this suspense at the end, overturning all the assumptions, inferences and even emotional cognition that the audience had accumulated before, so that the audience had to re-understand the story and have a negative impact on the whole story. Sorting out the story is equivalent to letting the audience take the initiative to interpret and dig deeper, rather than just appreciate a suspenseful story. From that perspective, it's a pretty successful story frame.
