Fascinating, penetrating, opening multi-perspective interrogation, sorting out the clue while disrupting the audio-visual effect, but also allowing the audience to participate and discuss immersively, it is simply a good way to bring in and block.

Let all the characters be symbolized, and the details serve the plot, and as time goes by, the truth is about to come out, and the conflict becomes more intense, compact and efficient, and there are many reversals.

Although it is bland in content, it is logical in terms of form, suspense design and trickery layout, deconstructing real issues into virtual cases, and letting you know that the darkness of human nature can make you chill at any time.

Each foreshadowing gives the inducement of rationalization and uses and reverses unexpectedly in a timely manner, and there is also a political symbolism behind it, undisguised mockery and ridicule, and the big ups and downs can also make everything return to humanistic care, and finally make up for the beautiful human nature.

The scenery, color matching, composition and soundtrack are all very exquisite, and they are excellent cases of extreme genre. This is a contemporary fable with black humor, and it is also a politically charged current commentary, a trial of human nature, and exquisite!

……

The contest of the writer is a role of a reasoner set up as if he is going to oppose the detective, and his death is about the decentralization of everything he writes, and he allows others to fight on the end of the pen, especially the real murderer and the maid write different truths from different standpoints.

is inseparable from letters everywhere, a letter of entrustment to the detective, a threatening letter to the real murderer, a hidden text to the daughter, and a suicide note to the character on the stage......

The detective is not the writer, he waits for the coin of memories to fall, for the misplaced baseball to return, just as he does when he appears: he hears the sound of the piano first, reproduces the person, the sound of the piano prevents them from writing wantonly, and the detective only appears to make the curtain come down on the work.

……

The whole movie is always permeated with a retro atmosphere, and the strangely decorated old mansion with this detective story reminds people of the golden age of Sherlock Holmes and Poirot.

All kinds of details are reminiscent of Conan Doyle's classic stories, and the story structure is highly imitating the Blizzard Hill model and "Roger's Mystery", which is emotionally full of Agatha's warmth.

It can be seen that the director is a fanatic of Golden Age reasoning, and the structure of the film is a complete tribute to the three heroes of the Golden Age - Agatha Christie's Blizzard Lodge, Carl's Death Chamber, and before the decryption, Ellery Quinn's signature challenge to the reader's link, that is, the key evidence film is all presented, and the key is to see the audience's reasoning!

The reasoning path is a well-structured, complete closed-loop story in which the details are polished in place. The content extends and integrates issues such as human nature, morality, immigration, and discrimination, both inside and outside, exquisite and unique.

……

It's so exciting!

I can't guess the ending at all, reversed and reversed, looking back and thinking about it, but the foreshadowing is everywhere, the ending is a matter of course, there is a brain-burning pleasure, but I don't feel abrupt. The plot is very well designed, the characters are also well interpreted, everyone is suspicious, but there is only one real murderer, thinking that the truth is revealed, who knows that there is no hole. Layer by layer, what is revealed is human nature, and no matter how precise the layout is, it can't match the simple human heart.

……

The ingredients of a good suspense film: an intricate plot, a mysterious suspect, and plausible truth and reversal.

We will happily spend two full hours, following in the footsteps of the protagonist to restore the pieces of the puzzle piece by piece, and when the ending comes to an abrupt end, we will recall all the foreshadowing and feel unfinished.

……

A total triumph of cinematic technique and narrative technique!

There is a very old-style narrative angle of traditional Agatha Christie, but it still follows Hitchcock's suspenseful gameplay with a time bomb offstage.

In today's detective reasoning and suspense movies are broken, the director's focus is no longer to present the process of reasoning, but to try to use the virtual and real perspective and superb narrative to shape the audience's emotional identity with the character's motives while retaining some necessary reasoning details, and to obfuscate the audience's audio-visual judgment ability to create a reversed sense of suspense.

In order to prevent the audience from getting tired of this slightly old-fashioned Rashomon murder case with a large number of investigative and questioning tones, it also adds cliché cold humor to enliven the overall atmosphere of the movie, which is sometimes serious and tense, sometimes humorous and cute, and sometimes exaggerated and nonsensical, so that the confrontation of the characters in the film is both ironic and ridiculous, which can be described as full of entertainment.

Of course, this movie is not perfect, without shortcomings, the biggest problem is that the reduction of the reasoning process leads to the fact that the case solving at the end is too logical, and there is a lack of frustration with the deduction being blocked, like a Chekhov's gun lying horizontally, we are just anxiously waiting for its final gunshot and who pulled the trigger?

……

When Ding Cheng plays the famous detective Blanco with a perceptive look, walks around and sits on the empty chair in front of the sword array, the doughnut is finally filled. And the audience, who has always been jokingly called to have God's perspective, was driven by the plot of the first hundred or so minutes, and an unprecedented flame of curiosity ignited in their hearts.

It was as if the werewolves were taking turns to speak during the first day, and with the help of this form, the ornate veil covering the surface of the upper class family was lightly lifted by the members of the Slumby family in front of the police.

And below is the sludge and muddy water of the exclusive celebrity family, the specific situation of the old man's birthday dinner is like this, and it is gradually clear under everyone's memories, if you follow the rhythm set by the director at this moment and solve the case with Ding Cheng, then you can only be a third-rate agent at most.

The brilliance of the film lies in the clever rearrangement and combination of the structure of traditional detective films, making the otherwise unremarkable story particularly eye-catching, and leading to a new truth when the detectives think they have the key to it.

And the more wonderful design is the memory shot narrated by the family members, pay more attention, and it is not difficult to see some hidden contradictions in the accidental overlap:

It's the camera that's lying!

……

Seriously agree with what was said upstairs!

It simply subverts the image of rigorous and reliable detective movies in the past, since the lens is unreliable, how can the audience, as an audience who can only receive clue information through the screen, continue to solve the case?

In the past 100 years, it has rarely appeared in the form of initiative, and the enthusiasm of the audience has been mobilized, and the brain waves, which have always appeared in flat waves, suddenly have strong ups and downs.

In front of this movie, the empathy effect is infinitely magnified, everyone is a detective, and it is our ultimate goal to get to the bottom of the mystery first. Vomiting, pill bottles, tennis balls, and mail ......

Smoke bombs may lead you to a fork in the road to solving crimes, and take time out of the suspenseful atmosphere of suspicion to bring you a humorous and witty respite.

Putting aside the above formal coats, and looking at this film from the technical aspect, the director has a deep meaning about the composition, camera movement, and set arrangement.

After the will was announced, the granddaughter, who had called the nurse Marta, paced from the darkness to the camera, and finally left alone in the bright spot with a pair of slightly panicked eyes that flashed incessantly for ulterior motives.

The eldest son-in-law, who had been reserved for the elegance of the rich man before, learned that Marta did not know her attitude, and the close-up of the scepter movement in his hand and the clasped drum beat under the pressure of each step knocked off the last layer of his disguise.

The group scene of fighting for the inheritance is very stage-effective, the shaking camera closely follows Marta who rushes out of the villa, and the members of the Slumby family who are sandwiched back and forth hit their emotions to a high point, and the masters are facing off, and the explosive acting skills are blowing, and the tight rhythm does not allow for a second to be missed.

Although this year has just begun,

But the best of the year is already booked!
