"Prisoners"

Freida 2022-04-21 09:01:08

As a suspense film, the film makes the audience feel the deep despair and helplessness in the heart of the characters through the detailed and slightly lengthy narrative and the wonderful performances of the actors. Although it is lengthy, but in the plot design, there is a feature of "the mountains and rivers are full of doubts, and the willows are dark and flowers are bright." It always mobilizes the emotions of the audience. It's a pity that the ending of the story lacks enough of a poignant plot twist to match the repressed emotions that preceded it.
Compared with the plot, the film is actually more successful in the characterization of the characters. The film shows the inner world of several different characters through a bizarre disappearance case. They are also "imprisoned" by life and become "prisoners" of life. Unhappy work imprisoned the police officer, unhappy fate imprisoned the old lady, and concern for her daughter imprisoned the hero. Many people in the movie became prisoners due to various unhappiness. These people became desperate and impulsive because of their captivity, and eventually some people broke down, some became paranoid, and some even lost their humanity.
This film seems to be about a suspenseful case, but in fact it is about the choice of human nature.

    Too wordy, the biggest problem. . Obviously one and a half hours can tell the story clearly. .

    3 and a half stars. The ending is slightly procrastinated, and the actor's final move is illogical and slightly far-fetched. Photography is at the textbook level.
