      It's not just the police who watch justice

      Although the general perception is all based on this film, to be honest, I don't like the hypocrisy of the killer repeatedly confessing to the police, but from another perspective, this film is worth thinking about.
      Chigago has a population of 50 million. People come and go in a hurry every day, but we have never noticed that there are so many invisible people around us. The lone woman who prints photos in the photo shop, the street woman who is begging on the street... In addition to...

      Justice and evil

      This film is very in-depth and worthy of reflection. I only have a superficial understanding of this:
             from the cat and mouse game in this film, Keanu Reeves plays a serial killer, which represents evil, and the detective James Si. Paide represents justice and reflects the relationship between justice and evil. The two follow each other, reinforce each other, and rely on each other. Justice must not be underestimated or even despised evil, just as the police detective in the film...

      Brain damage






      James Spader plays a detective and Keanu Reeves plays a perverted killer. Both characters failed very well.



      The killer is an inexplicable guy. He likes to take pictures of his victims first, and he likes to look for nerds and vagrant women... But he will not sexually assault them, which shows that he has no male roots. He was lonely, so he fell in love with the


      detective who was chasing him...The detective was even more of a...

      2014.8.19 The film in 2000, when Uncle Zhan was only 40 years old, neither bald nor fat. Looking a little more handsome than when he was younger ("Sex, Lies, Videotape"). Keanu's role is rather strange, and it is difficult to become a classic.

    Movie quotes

    • David Allen Griffin: [to Dr. Polly Beilman] Do you think... some of your patients might pay to come see you because... you're very pretty.

    • David Allen Griffin: Why did you turn away from me? Why was it so hard for you to accept? Cos you know I did it for you. You came so close to me that night. I remember clearly what I felt when I heard your footsteps falling behind me. Pride. I thought it would keep us together forever. For me it was our finest moment. I can still see the flames.
