The way of using soldiers: show it with softness and meet it with rigidity, show it with weakness and multiply it with strength; the same is true of being a man.
My name is Roger, I'm a cripple, and my left hand is also injured, but I consider myself a very smart person. People who know me call me "Mr. Slobber", maybe they think I'm a talker.
Today I want to tell you a bizarre story. I am the only survivor in the story. For the convenience of understanding, I will mark the main characters in the story in the picture below.
Six weeks ago, I and four other people were taken to the police station on suspicion of robbery, which we had never done, so it didn't take long for the police to let us go without evidence.
I'm a small character and the other four are big guys in my eyes, but I'm sure they can use me because I've always been a resourceful person.
Mike and Fest were good brothers, they decided to do a case to get revenge on the police, got me and Harkenny to join, and most importantly, I persuaded Keaton to join.
When I met Keaton, he was a police officer who was later fired for corruption. This man is very affectionate and one of the few friends of mine.
We robbed the jeweller escorted by the corrupt cops under my plan, and it was very successful, but it was obviously not enough for the five of us.
While selling off the stolen goods, we got another robbery from a jeweler, but this time we had some trouble.
The three guys who were robbed resisted stubbornly and were shot and killed by us. The worst part was that we were tricked. The car was not jewelry at all, but drugs.
After we found the person who gave us the fake news at the time, he said he was entrusted by a lawyer named Xiaolin.
What kind of thing is lawyer Xiaolin who dares to deceive us. We are not good men and women. Just when we were trying to find a way to find him, he came to the door himself.
Attorney Xiaolin claimed that his boss behind the scenes was called Caesar Susie, who was a man of great powers. We didn't believe it at first, but when he threw us a document, we believed it.
Caesar Susie knows everything about us, and if these materials get into the hands of the police, we will suffer, unless a mission is completed.
Lawyer Xiaolin wants us to blow up a ship, and then the money on the ship will be ours, a full $91 million, but are we the kind of people who do things under threat?
Until Fest was killed and Keaton's girlfriend's life was threatened, we had to compromise, we had to do this case and owe nothing to Caesar Susie.
Unexpectedly, we failed miserably, my companions died one after another, and I was the only one left.
My name is Roger, I'm a cripple, and my left hand is also injured. People don't know I'm a very smart person. People who know me call me "Mr. Saliva", maybe they think I'm just a talker...
The story of the film is complex, with strong logic and dramatic tension. The plot is gripping. The presentation of the climax is almost perfect. It is a very "smart" work.
Many people will say, I guessed who the murderer is from the beginning, is it difficult? The movie has such a magic power, even if you know the ending, you still have the fun of exploring, and you can still find the pleasure of decryption in the process of watching the movie. The so-called reversal is not a reversal of the plot, but a filling for the audience's heart. , to satisfy and enrich them.
The film adopts a two-line narrative. The rhythm of this line of memory is very fast, the story is complete, and the character settings are also very distinctive. The viewing process is still very smooth.
The most impressive part of the film should be the acting of Kevin Spacey, who also won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor for his wonderful performance in the film.
A good performance should be that the audience will look forward to his every appearance, no matter what the plot is, they will watch it with relish, and when you mention the actor's name later, your impression is that he interprets each role, not him. himself.
Many people think that "The Usual Suspects" does not live up to its name. In fact, I don't think so. It can be said to be the first of this kind of suspenseful crime films. The so-called classic should be many, many years later. You will think of it when you appreciate other new works. , because its shadow can be seen in it.
In "God of Cookery" and "Youth Bao Qingtian", there is a paragraph that completely imitates the classic clips of the five people in the film when they entered the police station for the first time, including the later "Wu Shuang", and the main plot settings also imitate "The Very Suspects" .
So I think to evaluate the quality of a movie, it should not be just "I guessed the ending in twenty minutes" or "This plot is bad", but the film created a new kind of model and imitated by later generations. After many years, there are still people who will take it out from the museum and compare it with other works. Today, it is because they are standing on the shoulders of their predecessors.
A truly treacherous person may not have a ferocious appearance, so don't be blinded by the appearance of the illusion.
