For most of the film, you will follow the male protagonist to search for evidence and reason at a fast pace. However, the biggest attraction of this film is not the reasoning, but the carrier of the narrative:
All characters live in social media. From facebook, ins to live broadcast websites, the camera switches back and forth between computers, mobile phones, cameras and other screens to tell stories. The movie itself is a kind of "second exposure" to the story. " .
This not only gives the audience a real sense of substitution, but also makes each character look virtual and suspicious, enhancing the suspenseful color.
The second point of view is American social life : in order to verify, the male protagonist ran all over the social system of young Americans, from the three major (fb, ins, tweeter) to the transfer app Venmo, as well as email gmail, live broadcast website YouCast and gossip Center Tumbler.
After the incident, many enthusiastic "netizens" appeared on the Internet, but none of them were real friends in the heroine's life.
In the end, it's just family who want to stay the course (although there's a generational gap between the two generations: David's on a PC, Margot's on Apple).
In short, the film is a masterpiece with low cost and high box office. Although the narrative style is a little green, the way of expression is innovative and the ending is appropriate - even if you can guess the murderer, you can't guess the murderer. ending .
