Analysis of the movie "Prisoner"

The prisoner is known as a suspense movie. The plot of the whole movie is very compact, and the director successfully drives the audience's perspective, and all kinds of surprises and reversals are very successful. But there are also some hard injuries, such as the ending when the sheriff went to the murderer's house and happened to bump into the murderer who was committing murder. In this way, the case is solved, the child is rescued, and the imprisoned man is also found in the last scene. The director used a sharp and happy ending, which seems to be reasonable, but the result of such a variety of coincidences feels a bit sloppy. And what is the relationship between the snake-raising man's maze and these two children, I didn't see it too clearly, of course, he also successfully diverted his eyes. The whole suspense drama has some too many coincidences in the plot that do not form a strong chain of clues. That's the downside, but it can't be denied that he's still a great book. In the depth of discussion of human nature, this drama will give people more inspiration. The most touching thing is how Keller treated Alex. The victim became the perpetrator, but used love and the Bible as an excuse. And this kind of thing happens all the time in our life. The director used a lot of pen and ink to describe the inhuman torture that Alex suffered, but when people don't know the truth, and when people sympathize with Keller's tragic experience of losing his beloved daughter, everyone's heart may be surging. Different emotions, uncertain suspects became kidnappers under Keller's obsession, and everyone who knew about this matter struggled with humanity in the sway, they all became perpetrators and complicit, this The topic really needs to be discussed. It was only later that the director shifted his perspective and moved the film closer to suspense, and finally found an unexpected ending without too many surprises. Actually I didn't like the ending, I thought after watching it, if the murderer stopped at the perverted snake breeder, if Alex had no connection at all, if Keller wasn't imprisoned, if Alex's aunt was Be kind, if the kids die, if Alex dies too. So how do all people face this ending... After all, life is not that complicated, but human nature is complicated.
