2. In the end, she said "it's complicated", he said "I don't care", and then showed a beautiful smile that moved people. The ending is so beautiful.
3. The details pave the way. The "A" key of the old typewriter is damaged, and the letter A needs to be handwritten; finally, the male protagonist adds an "A" to the "TEMO" written in his sleep to become "TEAMO", and "fear" becomes "I" Love you".
4. The translated name of "Mysterious Eyes" is really great, and the love that cannot be hidden in the eyes.
5, Spanish roll tongue, very cute, nice pronunciation.
6. The friendship of alcoholic friends is also very moving, knowing that there is danger ahead, or not turning back.
7. The suspenseful appearance is actually about love, "Who can live a life with nothing?", whatever, when I see the hero and heroine finally break through the world and want to be together, I believe in love again!

Missing A
in his life The actor who is an investigator has retired, and in order to avoid a boring retirement life, he decided to write a book about the cases he experienced 25 years ago. Started several times but couldn't continue. He put pen and paper at the bedside, ready to jot down fleeting inspirations. One night I wrote "TEMO" (scared) on a piece of paper in the middle of my sleep. The next day, I went to the place where I used to work, visited my female boss, and talked about writing a book. The boss gave him an old typewriter, the one he had used that lacked the A.
This missing A starts to appear in the film as just an obscure passage. The story below crosses reality and memory. From the conversation between the two in reality and the content of the memories, we can know the ambiguous feelings between the male protagonist and the female boss. They love each other, but cannot be together for various reasons. Maybe it's because the male protagonist didn't have the courage to confess at the beginning, maybe it was because the female boss didn't have the courage to wait and got engaged in a hurry, or maybe it was because the two finally had the courage to confess, but they were separated from each other. 25 Five years later, the female boss has long been married and a mother of two children. The male protagonist is single after a failed marriage. At this time, it seemed that he could no longer pursue this relationship that he had been unable to let go of.
The "TEMO" written in the half-sleep and half-awake, the subconscious fear, what are you afraid of? Are you afraid to face the case from 25 years ago? Or are you afraid of spending your life alone? He finally faced the case of 25 years ago, when the murderer who had gone unpunished because of the miscarriage of justice was punished, and the husband who raped and murdered the woman had lynched him for 25 years. It was no longer important whether the guilt brought about by his inability to do anything had been eliminated. What he saw in it was the uninterrupted love of a husband for his deceased wife that spanned 25 years. He finally realized what he was afraid of. He was afraid that he would never have the opportunity to express his love to her again. He was afraid that he would never be able to have the person he loved the most in his life. He picked up the pen and added an A in the middle of TEMO, "TEAMO" - "I love you". His life is like that old printer, missing A, that A is the courage to pursue love. And he's got that A back now.
The door that closed three times and finally closed
There are three closings in the movie. This door represents the relationship between the male protagonist and the female boss. If the door is closed, the two are together. The first time it appears at the beginning of the film, the male protagonist goes to meet the female protagonist who is his boss. She asks him what to talk about and whether to close the door? The door didn't close that time. The second time in the memory, the male protagonist walked into the female boss's office solemnly, and the female protagonist was about to close the door full of expectations, only to find that he did not come to confess, but to talk to her about the case that had been a year old. Perhaps this is also the reason why the heroine is in a hurry to get engaged and married? The door that could not be closed in this memory may explain that the heroine asked if she wanted to close the door at the beginning. She had been waiting for his show of love. Every time he stepped into her office, she hoped that the door would be closed. Hope he can confess to her. That is her heart door, always open for him, waiting for him to close. At the end of the film, the actor who found the A in his life finally walked into the office, and the door that had been open for 25 years was finally closed.
The power of detail
This is a slow-burning movie. Most of the front part is a bit boring, lacking the excitement of the usual suspense film. However, at the end, when the climax of the film came, I found out that the so-called "boring" above is actually accumulating strength all the time, only waiting for the last moment to explode. This explosive force comes from the extremely rich details and a lot of foreshadowing in the front. It will make people marvel in the climactic paragraph and bring back to life many of the seemingly meaningless paragraphs that have appeared before. For example, the missing A on the typewriter cannot be understood until the last moment. For example, the picture frame that was flipped on the table that appeared in the front, but led to a great friendship in the back, such as the door that was closed three times and finally closed, etc. Wait. This kind of back-to-back bridge, these small details that fill the whole film, make the whole story unforgettable.
emotional focus
The mantle of the film is suspense, but the story is unmistakably emotion. The tension in the story is created through details, and the gradual development of feelings is driven by the story. Emotions are the only constant theme from beginning to end. Everything else is just a shallow taste. Whether it’s a big era background or judicial injustice, it doesn’t go deep enough. Even the lynching that occurs at the climax is almost impossible. No sign of criticism or approval in the slightest. This avoids the thankless potential of being deviated from the pursuit of a certain depth. Everything about this film is in the service of telling emotions. So I really like the Chinese translation of this movie "Mysterious Eyes", the mysterious story, after all, is to tell the love that can't be hidden in the eyes.
If the suspense in the movie is a tree, then this tree undoubtedly grows on the vast land of emotion, absorbs its nutrients, and bears some fruits of love and hate. Over 25 years, the husband's love for his deceased wife, and his hatred for the enemy who killed his wife; the friendship of the scholar who died for the confidant; and even the love for the unreachable childhood sweetheart. The fruit of evil that bears on a tree; and the 25-year-old flower of love between the male protagonist and his female boss has finally come to fruition after being watered by her husband's persistent love for his deceased wife.
