"Girl in the Fog": A twisting story meets a reality-reflecting theme

I have to say, the story is wonderful

The ambience is well rendered from the start

Especially the use of color makes the whole film cast a strange and mysterious color

Sheriff's whole body in the car is shrouded in a ghostly green

The town where the story takes place is a strong blue color when the scene changes many times at night.

These cool applications give the film a terrifying tone

There is also the way of storytelling, also in the form of memory

Begins with a conversation between the sheriff and the psychiatrist

A story involving the disappearance of a girl and the sheriff's investigation

Although the plot was a bit difficult for me at first

because there are more questions

But really into the plot, really can not stop

Want to find out what the truth is

Moreover, in the reversal, I really admire the brain circuit of the screenwriter

When we viewers judge professors wronged from God's perspective

but it actually killed the girl

However, the end of the story provides us with the possibility of another explanation

A psychiatrist is a possible "fog man"

So far I've been completely shocked

twists and turns, twists and turns, reversal and reversal

This is the epitome of the film's strong story.

But the story is just the shell of the film

The reality it embodies and exposes is the most important core

As the sheriff pursues the truth of the incident

It uses the power of the media to create a lot of "inconsistent" public opinion

Isn't this the true portrayal of our present society?

And the professor's motive "money"

and finally exposed because of a letter on the arm

both and the lines in the film

"Evil is the driving force of the story, but in real life the motivation is usually money"

"The most foolish sin of the devil is vanity"

Human weakness exposed

    The rhythm is too slow, and it is difficult to understand...The detectives are innocent and not innocent, a group of fools...The psychologist is a fog person, and the teacher takes the opportunity to imitate and frame the blame...

    Really surprised: the director is the original author of the novel. The degree of completion is quite high, especially when the real murderer is arrested and brought to justice, there is still an open ending. The first half is highly literary, but it also highlights the problems in the conversion from text to images, and the transition to a climax is not smooth in the middle. The chasing media and the police eager to solve crimes have blurred the boundaries between evil and are no less inferior to the crime of homicide. It is a pity that too many levels have been rushed through due to the limitation of pace and space.
