What was supposed to be the theme "don't trust anyone" became please trust anyone except your love.

The structure of the story begins one morning when the heroine wakes up, constantly turning around and throwing questions, from "Ben" concealing the truth of the heroine's accident, to concealing Claire, and even concealing the existence of his son Adam, and then the truth of divorce, until revealing himself. The husband is the perpetrator. The above layers can't be said to be amazing, but the sense of suspense has not been lost, and it has done better than most suspense thriller movies in China.

But, why is it unfinished? First, the ambiguous scene from the opening makes the heroine flash the memory of a man with scars. It appears three times in the whole movie, which can be said to give the audience a psychological hint. At the end, he turned out to be a warm existence and had no role in the scene. (I don't listen, I don't listen, I don't listen, I think he is the real perpetrator)

Second, many people are wondering why they immediately believe what a psychiatrist says, but doubt their so-called husband. Although she knew that it was the heroine's hint in the video recording, she did not fully establish her trust in the doctor. Besides, the doctor had only known her for a few weeks, and she received free treatment. The heroine is really not afraid of the sky. The pie will kill himself! !

The scene between the doctor and the heroine can be said to be the focus of the whole article. His image has also appeared in the memory of the heroine as a perpetrator, including giving the heroine a tranquilizer in the back. The director gave so many details without extending, let me There is a little devil in my heart.
