I will tell the story directly, the protagonist Reiner And after his wife was attacked by robbers at home, her wife recovered quickly, but Reiner suffered from memory impairment, only 10 minutes of memory, and his wife wanted to cure him by letting him remember when she injected insulin. Well he was ill (his wife was diabetic), but Reiner accidentally killed his wife because he failed to remember her wife's medication time and frequently injected her with insulin, Reiner was sent to a nursing home because of this. Only 10 minutes of memory, so in the days of the nursing home, Reiner had to re-accept the fact that he killed his wife by mistake every 10 minutes. Under the burden, he had to erase his record of killing his wife by mistake at the police station, and let himself It is believed that his wife died after the previous attack, and because he could not remember the time of his medication, the one who mistakenly killed his wife was a previous client with a similar case to him, namely Zhansen, in order to convince himself of this fabricated story , Reiner, with the help of his police officer friend Tyler, keeps looking for his imaginary gangster who killed his wife (but in fact the real gangster has been killed by him, and Chanson doesn't have a wife), and everyone needs Note that it was Tyler who continuously provided Reiner with an imaginary gangster through his identity as a police officer and led Reiner to kill the gangster (Reiner's phone call with Taylor in the hotel was the process of Tyler guiding Reiner to find the criminal), Reiner By taking the thrill of revenge every time he kills an imaginary gangster (as can be seen in the final scene of the film when Reiner is about to kill Crowder's wife), Taylor can also get a little profit. Originally, if this relationship continued, it would not only allow Reiner to immerse himself in his fantasy world, but also allow Taylor to solve the case and make money from it. This is still a very good choice for both of them.
But when he killed Kuoder, Taylor finally couldn't stand Reiner's distrust of him every time (as he was still calm when Reiner pointed a gun at his head) after killing people. The fact that Reiner killed his wife by mistake, in order to escape from reality, Reiner first remarked Taylor as an untrustworthy person and chose to change his identity, so he burned the photo of Kuode's body and put on Kuode's clothes, Drove off Calder's sports car and tattooed his new imaginary gangster at the tattoo parlor. Tyler knew that Crowder was not easy to mess with. If his comrades saw Reiner driving Cade's sports car and wearing Cade's clothes, it would be very bad. He hurriedly wanted to persuade Reiner to leave the local area, but this At the time, Taylor had been noted by Reiner as an untrustworthy person, so whatever Taylor said would be suspected by Reiner (note that this is a very crucial plot to pave the way for the future), but Reiner was still induced by Taylor. Arrived at the beer shop of Broad's girlfriend Natalia (Natalia's identity can be seen from the photo she showed Reiner with her and the story she told Reiner about herself) ), Natalia knew that something had happened to him as soon as she saw that Taylor was wearing Cade's clothes and driving Cade's sports car. see), but learn that Reiner is a memory patient (and after passing the beer test to verify, and then meet Reiner at the restaurant without stopping Reiner at the beginning is also to test the authenticity of his pure memory defect again), then Even more fearless. She took Reiner home first, and decided to get rid of Reiner first after figuring out what happened, so she first won Reiner's sympathy by telling her similar experience with Reiner, and then tricked Reiner to teach her a lesson The hired killer didn't expect that the killer was repelled by Reiner; so Natalia decided to change the way, first use Reiner to get rid of Tyler, and then come to clean up Reiner (but this is a later thing) , So just like the beginning of the movie, because Reiner had no trust in Taylor, he shot and killed the most important partner who had helped him over the years under the inducement of Natalia, and Reiner had Nazai lost Tyler, an important partner who has been guiding him in his life, even without Natalia's pursuit of killing results can be imagined (as can be seen from his easy use by Natalia). It can be said that the ending is very tragic
Through the analysis of the above plots, I personally think that this film is mainly to let us know that no matter how painful our memories are, we need to face him bravely, if we just avoid him by making mistakes one after another, and thus fall into The virtual world he imagined could not extricate himself, but he was finally awakened by the cruel facts.
(After reading this film review, friends who want to watch it again can judge the sequence of events through the wound on Reiner's face and the text changes in the photo, and combine the film review with the details of the characters' behavior and connotation. For a more in-depth understanding, I will not analyze it here.) This is
the first time I write a film review, and I may be a bit rigid in terms of expression, please bear with me
