War will change a person more or less. From the inside to the outside, the killer in this film is an extreme. Thinking about why a soldier who served in the Vietnam War would do anything to get a PR person to recognize the real ugly self, especially when it comes to emotional sex, there may be a reason that makes sense - the soldier came back and found him His wife ran away with someone else. So he wanted to vent his anger, but the principles of the military prevented him from using violence to take revenge without reason. Then he thought of a way to correct those he hated in his own way. Stu is the One of them, fortunately, his final decision changed his fate. If he had been honest sooner, maybe Fatty wouldn't have died. A good script does not necessarily require many scenes to realize. Like "Perfect Stranger", the screenwriting effort and effort of this film are all spent on dialogue, and the beginnings and turns of the plot are completed through dialogue. This is an excellent low-cost masterpiece. After reading it, I can't help but lament the level of domestic screenwriters as usual. At least for now, there is still a long way to go.
