Everything is designed to be impeccable

From the beginning of the movie to the end I think Oliver designed it. The following points can be proved:
1. From the very beginning, the back of the child's hand was injured. I think it was designed. How can a normal child have such a strong willpower? Eyes firm, strong-willed, not cowardly. I didn't cry until I met Mike. The Oliver couple didn't behave like a normal family. The loss of their child's hand seemed to be an inconspicuous little thing. It just explained the reason. Another point was that when Mike came to borrow the phone, the two girls His eyes are also very similar to those of terrorists, which means that the child is also a member of terrorists.

2. The first half of the film is almost all about Mike's character and his values. He is skeptical about everything, and he is skeptical about terrorist incidents and cases that have already ended in teaching, and conveys an idea to the students that the government just finds a ghoul to reassure the people. We don't know the truth. From a simple letter, he began to doubt the identity of his neighbor, and then he investigated the neighbor. It is conceivable how much his suspicion was. The entire movie is Oliver's full use of Mike's suspicions. (It is estimated that his wife's death hit her too hard, which caused Mike to begin to doubt the government, and he himself was a government employee)

3. The death of Mike's girlfriend was also designed, because Mike was always passing on his thoughts, Tell her girlfriend: "The neighbors are bad people and terrorists!" From their quarrel until the girlfriend drove away, it is estimated that they were under surveillance. So there's that scene in the parking lot. The girlfriend's phone message was not received and it was dealt with in advance. The death of his girlfriend must have hit him very hard, plus his son was not around. The spirit can be said to be very tense.

4. Mike's son was actually a hostage from beginning to end. He took advantage of the child's loneliness and playfulness to make him become one with Oliver and his family, and easily took him to the summer camp as a hostage. But because his son was a hostage, he did not dare to call the police. Even if he called the police, there was no evidence to prove it, because his son was playing happily from beginning to end. The ignorance, playfulness and loneliness of children who make full use of here. . .
There are many, many places and details where traces of the design can be seen. .
Invulnerability means that those who know the truth are dead, and the dead cannot speak.
