He is the merciful death, he is the cruel God, he is the judge of human nature!

I watched the 80th (time) movie of this year in the early hours of this year - this year's popular British movie "Sin House". It feels like one of the best movies I've seen this year! ! So exciting! ! !

This less than 90-minute film is full of a classical, yet wildly, dramatic charm, and the aggression that goes to the bottom of my soul makes me want to stop! The work is adapted from a play that is often performed in the West End of London. As the birthplace of modern western drama, the amazing talents of the playwrights of this country are undoubtedly revealed in this film! 86 minutes, less than ten scenes, 7 characters, no dazzling special effects, no superfluous nonsense, some are just intense conflicts and endless dramatic tension that will take your breath away, all settings are full of well-conceived coincidences , but it makes people have to be convinced; and when you think that everything is settled and waiting for you, it is not the end you imagined

. The sins of the novel are undoubtedly exposed, and the fate of countless people at the bottom is exactly the same as that mysterious, beautiful, and poor girl.

This is a superb work full of classic drama charm, and it is all the ugliness of human nature - hypocrisy, cowardice, greed, cruelty The ultimate questioning, the sheriff played by David Thewlis is the existence above each of us, he is the benevolent god of death, he is the cruel God, and he is the judge of human nature! The phone ringing at the end was his final judgment.

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.

    The Inspector: They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Birling: [hanging up the phone] A girl has died. Suicide. A police inspector is on his way to ask us some questions.
