A cop who kills someone but asks a friend to give false testimony gets demoted and becomes an operator. Accidentally received a call from a woman who claimed to have been kidnapped, and he began to stage a remote investigation against time in a small office.
As the clues became clearer, the truth of the matter slowly emerged, and the protagonist gradually completed his self-redemption.
More than 80 minutes / a main character / a phone / an office, this is the whole of this small-budget movie, but it uses sound to show the audience what a movie should have. Come to Minglai to express the heart of the protagonist.
I especially liked one of the shots:
The male operator, Ben, was off duty, but he was concerned about the progress of the case and locked himself in a separate office. Outside this office, there are what he considers to be people who "mediocrely take other people's help as a joke". He pulled down the curtains one by one, trying to isolate him from the people outside, but he plunged into darkness.
After reading it, I just feel that everyone actually lives between good and evil, and no one is born with two extremes. It's just that on the scale of good and evil, some people are more biased towards good, and some people will go towards evil, but the total will not change. Just like Zhang Zifeng's mysterious smile in "Detective Chinatown 1".
The truth you think is not necessarily the truth, and the good you think is not necessarily good; there is no pure truth without impurities, and there is no good without evil.
It sounds like a mouthful, but it's not contradictory at all.
