Why the more similar the setting and reality are, the more scary

Despite being warned in advance, I shudder at the director's excellent ability to tell a story. When you see those familiar street signs, gas stations, single-family houses, and sparsely populated living environments (it still happens in Pennsylvania!), you realize that it's not an anecdote that has nothing to do with you. It's a real possibility in life right now. You don't know what's hidden in your friend's closet, what's behind your next-door neighbor's cramped basement door, or the identity of the postman who knocks on your door when you're home alone. Not to mention that in this country, there are various unbroken Lan Keer Zodiacs and the like. On sale, a pistol is only $150, the price of a cell phone. Also, real demons don't care about tools.

It is this hazy and specious feeling, coupled with suspense and unknown, that makes people terrified. Superman monster alien invasion and Doctor Evil? We can handle this. But the most undetectable. It's the same kind, it's survival anxiety. Roosevelt said that the only thing we have to fear is fear itself. Perhaps only the perpetual hope of the protesters, as implied by the whistle at the end of the film, can lead us to a breakthrough.

    In fact, it's still full of the plot of catching horses, and deliberately buried a lot of foreshadowing, but the narrative is still smooth, and the performance is also powerful, especially the long legs. Only the depth is not enough, the ending is too satisfactory, the desolation of "memory of murder" and "nothing to rely on", the human torture of the "seven deadly sins" and the "12th house" are not as good as the human torture. Two and a half hours is a waste of performance and plot. It is, but fortunately the tension is very strong, and it doesn’t feel long.

    "Zodiac" has the length, depth and depth? Jackman’s performance is not as layered as Jean Valjean, and the protagonist is simply picking up guests! (What's wrong with the detective "Loki")

Prisoners quotes

  • Keller Dover: Why aren't you sending someone out to go arrest this guy?

    Captain Richard O'Malley: Tell Detective Loki what you just told me, and he'll definitely look into it. Go ahead.

    Keller Dover: [sighs and turns to Loki] That asshole you promised me you'd keep in custody... Right? And you didn't... And right now, when I grabbed him in the parking lot, he said right to my fucking face, "They didn't cry until I left them." Right to my fucking face!

    Detective Loki: He said that to you in the parking lot just now?

    Keller Dover: Right now! Yeah! What did I just say? In the parking lot! Before you grabbed me off him.

    Detective Loki: Did anyone else hear him besides you?

    Keller Dover: I don't know... He was quiet. He-he said it to me. He wanted me to know.

    Detective Loki: Are you sure he said that?

    Keller Dover: What?

    Detective Loki: Are you sure that's what he said?

    Keller Dover: Jesus Christ, you think I'm making this up?

    Detective Loki: No, I don't think that, I just...

    Keller Dover: Why would I make this up? No, no think about! Why would I make this up?

    Detective Loki: I'm not saying that to you. I'm just asking you a couple questions. I will talk to him, okay?

    Keller Dover: No, don't talk to him! Arrest him!

    [Storms out]

    Detective Loki: [Turns to Captain O'Malley] What'd I fucking tell you? What'd I tell you? One more day.

  • Keller Dover: I just wanna talk. I'm a free man. I'm a free man!
