Although I didn't see the expected 007 battle against the US team, the layout is exquisitely interlocking, with the US team playing as the boundary, every puzzle solving in the second half can find the corresponding picture or lines in the first half, digging holes and digging It's good to fill the hole and fill it better. It's really a conscience and a good screenwriter in the industry. I've been looking forward to it for a long time and I can't bear to watch the movie review spoilers. The movie viewing experience is very good~

The film takes place in a country mansion far from the city where no one believes in serial murders. The backbone of a big family, a walking ATM machine, a winner in life with children and grandchildren, an old rich man with insight into the world died in his room on the night of his 85th birthday Inside, the forensic identification is that the old man cut the carotid artery by himself.

However, a week after the funeral, 007 received an anonymous entrustment to investigate the cause of the father's death. As the investigation deepened, the true face of this wealthy family was gradually revealed: the eldest daughter, Se Li Neiyan, was most afraid of people knowing that she started her business by relying on her father. The gentle and polite eldest son-in-law has long been unable to endure his wife's strong cheating, the mistress, and the widowed second daughter-in-law's mouthful of family tolerance and forgiveness actually just wants to stay in the father-in-law's house as a parasite. The little grandson thinks that he doesn't care about things that have nothing to do with his own interests. The little granddaughter who seems to be the most humane will also betray friends for his own interests. The background and character setting of the story are quite similar to the common disputes between wealthy families in Grandma's Poirot series. Except for the detective played by 007, Poirot is more like Philip Marlowe, which is a bit inconsistent. What's down is that the little nurse is not 007, otherwise the US team has a new CP after the Black Panther.

Going back to the book, there are such a group of unworthy descendants, which may be one of the reasons why the old man chose to leave his property to the little nurse. In addition to wanting to thank the little nurse for his company, there are also those who want to break their selfishness towards the children and grandchildren so that they can truly become self-improving and independent. Thought, so he did not hesitate to use his own life to play the biggest and last game of chess in his life. Although it is not reflected in the film, I feel that as a well-known overseas mystery novelist, it is impossible not to know what kind of physiological reaction will be after an overdose of morphine, not to mention that the old man's 85-year-old physical fitness may not be enough to support, if he dies within 10 minutes , he should not have enough time to explain to the little nurse to make an alibi, and the director intentionally gave a close-up of the portrait of the old man at the end, as if to imply who the winner of the last chess game is. Therefore, setting up a suicide plan should be his own choice. He believes that the sincere little nurse will follow her heart and make the right choice. He also believes that the real culprit will eventually be brought to justice. Retribution will always come, and the last words of the housekeeper emphasized this point again, which is amazing for the screenwriter.

If you chew it carefully, you will find that this film is not only trying to show a delicate and meticulous reasoning story, it is not limited to paying homage to the detective story of grandma's wealthy family inheritance dispute, or conveying the idea of ​​good and evil to be a sincere, kind and good person. The capitalist social values ​​such as good returns also seem to imply reflections on the current political ecology and immigration in the United States: as a wealthy white family with deep roots in the local area, the Sloumby family is a symbol of the orthodox white class in American society. Kochi, has the right to speak, seems to respect immigrants, believes in fairness and justice, but is actually hypocritical, uses any means to achieve goals, looks down on immigrants / despises the American South; as a symbol of immigrants, the little nurse finally won the fortune because of her unpretentious sincerity and friendliness, Eh, looking at this film like this, is it a new bridge for immigrants to realize the American dream? But I think the little nurse is probably the last person in the family who doesn't want to get this inheritance. After all, it was obtained on the premise of the death of the old man. Will the little nurse who inherited the old man's huge fortune embark on a lonely road similar to that of the old man? This may be another story.

A handful of remnants: as a natural reasoning story, the film is a good foreshadowing, the unusual way of communication between the old man and the eldest daughter, baseball as a metaphor for the transmission time of the truth, the blood on the little nurse's sneakers, and the chatter of the female housekeeper's broken thoughts. The great grandmother misses her eldest grandson without knowing anyone. The eldest grandson's contempt for the servants, the placement of the props and knives, and the good habit of the little policeman's diligent and conscientious recording have all been perfectly echoed at the end. The puzzles and answers are distributed symmetrically. Great; Team America with thick eyebrows and big eyes actually betrayed you. You are not the captain who leads the team and also pays attention to the quality of the team... but eating small biscuits and smiling at my uncle, aunt, little cousin and little cousin eating shit She looks really good-looking, with the serious look of the little nurse when investigating the case, she almost believed that he was innocent, but Qingben Jiaren is a thief, as a smart person in the family second only to the old man, if you can put your mind to On the right path, the old man will not struggle and give him opportunities again and again. In the end, he has to endure the pain and force him to be independent. It can only be said that the difference between his thoughts and the little nurse decides his fate. This film also proves that CE is a good actor. Framed by the logo of the US team, happy to sprinkle flowers~

    No reasoning fan would look at this case, right? Its mass, volume, and energy are not even enough to support a movie. Ryan added the number of characters and side plots for narrative water injection. The functional lifeless characters reduced to props are basically superfluous except for distracting and providing blunt jokes. They really participate in the help of suspense and mystery. Has it spoiled? The casting characteristics of the actors and the layout of the people’s appearance have diluted the fog before the truth and turned against grandma, but they have not broken out of tradition. From "Detective Colombo" to "Furuhata Rensaburo", too many predecessors have done it countless times. Finally, surrender to the old-school reasoning. You might say that this film is not only about crime detection, but you also want to see its social side. I'm sorry. As a third-rate movie fan, I didn't watch it.

    For the love of grandma lovers, detectives, crimes, manors and heritages, group portrait exhibitions, gather together to solve puzzles, meticulous reasoning, and complex intertwined characters. It has the expression of grandma and is well versed in grandma's thinking, not forgetting to insight into the social fabric. It’s just that the cyanide and gun killings in the grandma’s time have become Ryan Johnson’s reflection of the current social dilemmas in the United States. Solving the crime has become a routine. Murder is not murder. Every character is based on a standpoint. New Brazilian immigrants, race, and white people. The split is like a sharp male voice that sings together under the inference of piano performance. When the position design transcends human nature, "vomiting" can no longer make science the fixed point of the reasoning compass, and the circle drawn in the film also loses the basis of the two traditional detective stories of human nature and science, and it is a rebellion against Christie. It replaces the psychological conflict with reversal, as if it is full of fun and lacks the aftertaste, so that I cannot enjoy the charm of grandma-like teachings. It is a manifestation of Hollywood routines going to the twilight. So the huge difference between the two is that Christie is not a judge but more like a legislator, while Knife Out of the Sheath can only be an accuser.
