The flashbacks are full of beauty, sadness, and even more deliberate traps. The scary part of the story is that Nick and Amy are still going on in this estranged marriage. Nick escaped the visible cage, but could not escape the invisible shackles. Amy will continue to live as an undefeated winner in her celebrity garb forever. The theme of Lynch's performance this time is male cowardice, female femininity and the duality of marriage. The first half is suspenseful. With the appearance of Nick's lover, it seems that the truth has been found on the surface, but the real truth is still behind. , the results are jaw-dropping. Marriage here is like a war, and whoever is stronger will have the last laugh. Nick appeared here as a weak man. He was not as good as his wife in terms of career and economy. Maybe he was looking for a lover just to find a little man's rigidity and self-esteem outside. He turned out to be a weakling, and the whole thing was unachieving and masculine right up to the end. Amy was a victim at first, suffering from her husband's cold war and cheating, so she deliberately played and disappeared. The ultimate goal of disappearing is to kill Nick, and the hatred here can be imagined. The traps she set up one after another are really impressive. They are well-conceived and step-by-step. When they are really vicious, they are not relentless, and they are extremely weak in the face of the media. To them, marriage seems to be a marriage of the media, a marriage of the public, and in order to maintain a good public image, they may live such a life of semblance of beauty forever. Amy changed her suicide plan and planned a murder drama, the reason is nothing more than want to give the public a better word of mouth, and perhaps nostalgia for Nick's past relationship. Love and hate are mixed in it, and the goal of the action can only be one, that is, to return to the vicious circle of their marriage, love, let go of the old hatred, and continue to live happily. Hate, torment the other party for a lifetime, let him live in pain, because in the walls of this marriage, she is the biggest winner.

    The original book is a third-rate novel, and it won't make any difference if it is put on the screen. The great thing about marriage lies in the intangible killings, such as "Road to Revolution". In contrast, it is really low-level when you really use a knife and a gun.
