Just imagine when a criminal holds a gun to your head and forces you to confess your sins, trading with you with the lives of you and the people around you, will you also collapse? The brilliance of the movie is that it only goes through one main scene - the phone booth tells such a tight story, without dragging, the atmosphere is tense, and the key to the plot setting is that the hero's opponent is a criminal with a high IQ, and he doesn't know where he is. The development of the story is all within his plan, which is the most terrifying, and the strong contrast between light and dark succeeds in attracting the audience. And the ending is also very exciting. When everyone thought that the story ended with the successful escape of the male protagonist and the death of the "murderer" who delivered the pizza, the real murderer surfaced and ended with a monologue. The murderer mingled with the police and left as if nothing had happened. , giving the audience room for reverie. The whole movie wants to tell about the ugliness of human nature, and uses extreme means to force the male protagonist to confess his sins, uncover the ugliness, and tell the audience: Be honest, maybe the punishment for you will be waiting for you not far away. . But we also have to admit that human nature always has weaknesses. Each of us lives between good and evil, finding a balance and not crossing the bottom line of morality and law, which can also be said to have a clear conscience. After all, "the water is so clear that there are no fish".
