I ask the screenwriter to be more attentive when designing the mechanism, otherwise it will be easy to play.

As a science student, I am not as sensitive to the various delicate psychological activities in the movie as a liberal arts student. On the contrary, it is the mechanism where this person is placed on the bed by two handcuffs, which makes people very dramatic. After all, this is not a cell dedicated to prisoners, and if you think about it, there are actually many ways to unlock the chain. The original scene is as follows

The easiest way to consider the following solutions:

Judging from the situation where the female protagonist moves the bed after her right hand is released from the handcuffs, the whole bed is not heavy, and it is not fixed on the ground or wall. It can be dragged away even when the female protagonist is dehydrated. The method can easily create a gap between the bed and the wall, as long as both feet are on the ground, dragging the bed indoors is basically free of movement.
Many people may say that the protagonist is also a normal human being, and he will definitely panic in a crisis situation, and it is normal to fail to make full use of the environment to resolve the crisis. I don't think this view is valid. The protagonist in this kind of movie theme must be able to make full use of all the resources available in the environment to help him get out of trouble. This is the focus of this kind of movie. The test of this kind of movie is whether the screenwriter and director have ingenious design. Watching such a movie It's like watching two masters play chess. One of the two players is the protagonist who is trying to survive, and the other is the harsh living environment and various unexpected and unexpected crises (sometimes including the same in the Chainsaw Horror). The perverts behind the scenes). In order for the movie to look good, the two sides playing chess have to rack their brains to come up with clever tricks and fight each other's wits and courage. Otherwise, it just shows the real panic of normal people in the face of a crisis. You can directly find a useless character as the protagonist and do nothing. You will faint or just hang up in the first three minutes, and the movie will end within five minutes of the beginning, like this What's the point of the movie? I always feel that good movies and novels are of this type, and they all watch the struggle between smart and smart people, and how to write the process of fighting between smart and smart people is a very test of screenwriters and authors. IQ, to do this, the author needs to be smarter than all the smart people in the plot.
When I watched the Chainsaw series before, I often played with this kind of problem. The various organs made by the villain in the play seem to be ingenious, but in fact, there are flaws everywhere, such as the "ramen machine" that twists the victim into a twist. In order to realize the mechanical transmission of twisting twist, a lot of mechanical equipment is used. It seems powerful, but in fact, as long as you drop a shoe in the pile of gears, the whole machine will be stuck and useless. (Of course, it is not excluded that the film deliberately exposes all machine parts to increase the visual effect here, but it cannot be at the cost of losing rationality), or the woman who was headshot by a round of shotgun bullets around her neck, that one. The way the shotgun bullet is fired is actually a ram similar to a revolver. This kind of mechanism can be lifted by simply removing a piece of cloth from the clothes and cushioning the ram. Again, adding visuals can't come at the cost of losing plot rationale.
It has to be said that it is very difficult to design such scenes that involve organs, but in the type of movies that focus on organs, it is even more worthy of scrutiny, otherwise this core will not stand, and other places will be designed again and again. It's good to take the drag.
