This is where the script pays attention to the literary nature, and also uses the writing technique of Chekhov's gun.

A common narrative strategy, used by playwrights and screenwriters, is to tie the pieces together, so that characters, props, and environments are closely related across different scenes.

To put it simply, what appears at the beginning must be used later, otherwise it should not appear. From Chekhov's exact words: If you say in the first chapter that there is a rifle hanging on the wall, then in the second or third chapter, the gun must go off. If the gun didn't go off, then it shouldn't have hung there.

Many knives on the shooting scene are like this, and there have been many times, especially in the flashback passages arranged by the director, whether it is hinting at the plot or reversing several times, which is amazing.

The arrogant and conceited eldest daughter, the cheating son-in-law, the useless son who cooks and reasoning copyrights, the daughter-in-law who cheats money by making fake accounts, the ** little grandson who swipes his mobile phone all the time, and the liberal Snow White granddaughter......

The eldest grandson played by the American team, a prodigal child with a greasy smell all over his body.

Through lines and performances, the image comes to life.

The director seems to open the perspective of God for the audience, as if becoming a god in a werewolf killing game. But in fact, it only has a partial perspective and everyone's statements and testimony, but it can't be concluded from which is the real hidden wolf?

So in the continuous suspicion and overthrow, even the truth itself has become less important, and the huge ups and downs in the movie-watching psychology caused by the process are the parts that really want to be highlighted.

What makes Ding Cheng the most interesting is a large number of insinuations about Trump, first of all, the American team sneered at himself when he said that his mother was self-made, because he borrowed a million dollars from the old man at the beginning of the business.

When Trump started his business, he also borrowed a million dollars from his father, which is obviously ironic that today's achievements are inseparable from the strong support of his local tyrant father.

Then about the immigration policy, the little nurse is a Paraguayan, she is a legal immigrant, but her mother is not a legal immigrant, in fact, because of the change in the immigration policy, and the so-called legality is just that the interest groups led by Trump change according to their own interests, and there is no effective and tenable legal basis at all.

Combined with the practice of several children devouring the old man's bones and marrow, the director wants to express that the government's anti-immigration is just a forced reduction of competition for his own uncompetitive children, which will not become a climate, and can only be like the third child in charge of the publishing company.

Even the nationality of the little nurse, the family members actually have three theories, some people say that they are Colombian, the eldest son-in-law says that they are Paraguayan, and the American team is said to be Brazilians after being exposed......

keeps saying that he is his own family, but he doesn't even know where he comes from?

The ultimate hypocrisy!

Isn't their indifference to immigrants like the little nurse a reflection of white supremacy?

In his own opinion, the camouflaged window on the third floor of the old man is also a metaphor for Trump's strict immigration policy, so that they cannot enter the United States openly, but can only enter through the path.

But the most ironic thing is that the American team also climbed once to kill their own grandfather, and the founding of the United States was just a group of white people who did not belong to the American continent, and they came to ride the wind and waves as the Mayflower, and they did not get the consent of the indigenous Indians, so they were just a group of thieves who entered the house!

"Why should a South American occupy the ancestral home where our Slumby family has lived for generations!"

Facing the American team who were still obsessed with death and did not regret it, Ding Cheng said heavily: "This house was bought by your grandfather from a Pakistani in the 80s of the last century!"

The so-called Shang** British claims to be the master of the American continent, but this land is only snatched by your ancestors from the Indians, and you don't belong here.

Under the camera, the iron throne-like knife array, looking imposing, not angry and self-assured, in fact, pulling out and stabbing people is all fake.

It's a menacing look to everyone, but in fact, the outside is strong and the middle is dry, there is no real guy, maybe the only real knife in that house is the one that the old man used to commit suicide.

Only truly capable people deserve to have real power, and all the next generation who are strong and middle-class, and eat the old roots, have no real guys in their hands, and sooner or later they will lose the foundation of their ancestors.

The murderer is caught, all the truth is revealed, and the last shot is meaningful.

An immigrant, standing on the balcony on the second floor with a mug of sovereignty, condescendingly looking at a group of white people who have been kicked out of the house, is both a hint and a spur.

If the white stalwarts who claim to be masters do not work hard to create their own achievements, they will eventually be replaced by immigrants, and one day, they will be expelled from the land, just as they slaughtered the Indians!

A good script has a magical power, and even if it is finished, it can make people have endless memories.

In Ding Cheng's view, is it really a loser behind the scenes?

One of the most obvious directions of the story, or it can also be said to be the most obvious loophole according to the logic on the surface, is that the old man is very likely to find that the medicine injected by the little nurse is not wrong!

Because when he learned that there were only ten minutes left for the wrong medicine, he mentioned several times that there were still a few minutes left, first 8 minutes, and finally 6 minutes, and then he never mentioned it, and when he mentioned six minutes, he still hadn't explained how to clear the suspicion, and even his daughter-in-law didn't knock on the door.

In other words, when the old man explained everything, five minutes had already passed, and his body should have already reacted to the overdose of morphine, compared to the performance of the housekeeper when she was injected with an overdose of morphine in the second half, he did not look like a seizure at all!

What does it mean to be a well-known detective and master all kinds of murder techniques?

So after explaining everything, I already knew that the little nurse didn't take the wrong medicine, and since she knew that she didn't take the wrong medicine, why did she commit suicide?

The answer is actually very simple, it is a description that the American team and her daughter said twice in the film - dramatic.

As a famous detective, what is he waiting for to expect his life to end dramatically, not to die in obscurity, and to have a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to make his death a grand puzzle and finally achieve the arrangement and edification of his children?

is 85 years old, fame and fortune, there are no regrets about personal career, and the only thing that can't be let go is the family, looking at the family, which is gradually deviating from the right track, heartbroken, and hopes to change the will, not to leave a piece of property to the family, to let everyone get back on the right track.

In the case of his grandson, who is most similar to himself, but the most idle, a young man as smart and talented as himself, because he can constantly suck blood from his home, is so indulgent and industrious that he has no achievements, and in the long run his life will be wasted, and the family will no longer be in its former glory.

deliberately told his grandson all about the revision of the will, said that the little nurse would play chess and medicine with him, and then looked at his grandson's choice, because he was similar to himself, he probably thought that he would harm himself.

If his grandson, who is calculating and familiar with the murder methods, chooses to return to the bag of medicines, he will kill himself to frustrate his plan to rob the inheritance, and at the same time will not bear the charge of murder, which is the last tenderness of the old man to him.

If he didn't kill him, he might even continue to amend the will, leaving a copy, deliberately knocking over the chessboard, and the chess pieces and medicine fell together, so as to ensure that the little nurse would not confirm whether the medicine and its bottle corresponded in a panic.

And it also made the little nurse completely believe that she really made the wrong medicine bottle in a panic, not that the medicine had been dropped, so the old man asked: Are you sure there is no XX ketone (antidote)?

On the surface, the old man is determining whether he can be saved, but in fact, he is confirming another question:

Is my own grandson going to kill me?
