Routine digging

The doubts are buried relatively steadily. Although there are routines, the rhythm of the plot is still OK.

Personally, if the Anna segment of the burning letter at the end is the real version, then Joyce's death is the content of the male protagonist's confession. The details are: Anna whispered "iloveyou" in her ear when she was in the car with him, and then the male protagonist lost control, subconsciously conditioned reflex to hurt Anna, but she woke up later; and after the male protagonist confessed to the police It can be seen that Joyce also said "iloveyou" in the ear of the male protagonist. The reason for Joyce's escape is gone, and the picture is directly of her running away.

The male protagonist of the film is a little bit selective in amnesia, and because of the pressure of work and the obsession with female students all day long, he often makes up his own mind about the process of the case.

It was obvious that the policeman was trying to deceive him from the beginning, breaking his psychological defense line so that he could tell the truth.

After writing the above, I feel that the director and editor just dug a seemingly open pit for me to jump in. In fact, nothing happened, evoking family scandals and conflicts.

Off topic, it is said that once the trust between husband and wife breaks down, it is very difficult to rebuild. I suddenly remembered a Japanese drama "My Family's Problem" that I just watched. In the third episode, my mother said to her daughter: Don't lie to your lover, because there is no blood relationship between husband and wife, and a little thing can end this relationship.

    Interestingly, the protagonist is a questionable storyteller, and it gets more questionable the further you go, so that you can't tell if his memories are memories or his imagination; it's kind of like how a novel is written. Maybe because of this, after watching the whole film, most viewers will be a little angry and feel fooled. I find it quite interesting. Also, the screenwriter wrote great lines for the professor's wife, which is also readable at the level of examining the nature of marriage.

    Maybe the reason for such a low score is that the audience feels teased? The ending wasn't what they expected? As a film whose script is from a best-selling book, the screenwriter is basically more assured. Compared with the investigation plot of a suspense film, in fact, the paradox of language, the compilation of memory, the truth of marriage, and the libido of middle-aged men are the contents of this film. Something worth having fun. Are the facts that are self-evident in front of you the truth? Or the truth exists only in individuals and differs between individuals. Just like language itself, it is inherently limited.
