Unreliable narration, this method is often seen in literary works, misleading the audience through the protagonist's false narrative, thereby manipulating the audience's psychology, making the audience think that what they think is their own judgment, in fact, it has been given by the director. Take it elsewhere.
I like Spacey very much. His "American Beauty" and "House of Cards" are all very good-looking. I think the highlight of him is that he can play that kind of cowardly trash, or he can Act like a cold-blooded boss.
But I have to say that the director's unconventional and disordered narrative method is indeed easy to confuse the audience, so if you find a relatively easy and simple way to understand, you will involuntarily ignore many details, because even mastering these is very difficult. Difficult.
Personally, I thought this film was boring at the beginning, I thought it was a general crime and black eating theme, and there was no intense drama. It was all narrated by a cripple, but I didn't expect that the narrator had a hidden mystery. It turned out that the audience was actually a lame. In wrestling with the audience and deceiving the audience, we involuntarily become a part of the movie. This sense of substitution, especially after being deceived, is very profound.
It is hidden in the city. Those legendary big men are likely to be inconspicuous little guys around you. Their inconspicuousness is completely carefully packaged, and their intention is to mislead. After that, there was a Korean movie called "Memories of a Murderer". It tells a similar story. It is a different style, with a bit of suspense, and the story is also strongly emotional. But "The Very Suspects" is different. The story is extremely bland. Perhaps, when we listen to his story, we should find out why he was charged with a misdemeanor in the first place, and why the top police officers would make a deal with him, if he was as He was a fool as he stated himself, and what virtue could a fool allow the police to compromise with him. Moreover, when narrating the story, he was so bland, and he explained every key detail very clearly. Logically, people's memory would not be so precise. If he could say so much precise content, wouldn't he? It also shows that he is misleading us.
This also shows the director's skill and the actor's acting skills. In short, this work is very worth watching.
