The first time I saw it, it was cloudy and foggy, and I didn't know what to say. I don't know if it's because of the rejection of Chinese and Western languages or because of my own interspersed with the director's narrative at the beginning, I don't know what these people did before and after. With these questions in mind, I brushed it for the second time after 2 months.
The biggest gain from watching this time is that I patiently looked at the meaning of each shot. To be concise, these five people, only one person is the leader of the whole thing, leading them to go to the boat, kill people, do drugs Taken by Gint alone. The so-called Caesar is the lame man. With this main line, many things can be solved easily.
When Gint entered the police station, he didn't know how to make up names of people who were not present. He looked at Gint's eyes, stared at the wall for a few seconds, and then his bullshit story began, half-truths began to narrate, about Caesar I think the story is true, that is, it really killed everyone who knew him, except for the man who followed his housekeeper, the rest only knew his second name, Jint.
On the night when the 5 people in the prison were together, they met, and then fooled the other 4 people to robbery together. This is the main line. Most of the plots are also made up by him. I think it is true. If the truth is mixed with lies, and you use your seemingly harmless eyes and mutilated limbs to hide the truth, it will undoubtedly be the most difficult truth in this play.
As for why the camera closes up the rope and the background on the other side of the boat at the beginning, it is actually because someone saw the scene behind, which paved the way for the lies he made up later. Gint said that he saw the truth of Caesar's murder in that position. In the hospital, a half-dead man who had been caught by Gint was found there by Gint, and then he was killed and silenced. It is best that the portrait is enough to explain the process. It's just the biggest surprise that the man didn't die. Otherwise, the police would not be able to verify all his guesses even if he chased them out.
The score of this drama is not as high as I imagined, because many times of recall, verification, and combination of time points can be used to make a very ordinary plot in this suspense drama so bizarre. It's the stories that are both true and false that make it so hard to see through, and if you commit a crime that no one knows about, you must be a perfect liar. But if you can keep compiling it, the real part of your heart will gradually be brought into the infinite lies by you.
