Don't ask, Don't tell

The knife catcher finally solved the mystery and figured out the secret behind the manuscript. But for him, everything came to an abrupt end with the crashing sound of "bang". The beginning and end of the film echo each other. The two caught deaths are filled with irrelevant people. No one knows what happened, and no one knows the story behind it. It was also on the same street where the murderer died. The first time he got into the car, he was followed to the downstairs of the apartment and stole the draft. He didn't know anything at all. He just promised to complete the work with heart. Only suffered a little skin trauma. The second time, the knife catcher was not so lucky. He stopped the car on the side of the street and tried to escape right and wrong. Unfortunately, he knew too much and could not escape. The Prime Minister's wife looked uneasy after seeing the note passed by everyone and was eager to find the knifeman, but was stopped. I don't know if the prime minister's lover, Amelia, is also a member of the CIA. And the Prime Minister's wife is just cooperating with the show. Not fate, but conspiracy, everything is under control. It’s hard to be confused if you don’t ask, don’t say, and don’t have insurance.


This is the first Polanski movie I've ever seen, and I can't tell you anything about him other than the prison incident. As far as the movie "Shadow Writer" is concerned, the plot is well-knit and attractive, and it can definitely be called this year's suspenseful blockbuster. There is not a single sunny day in the whole film, it seems that there is a lot of haze everywhere. The prime minister's empty villa, the metallic decoration, the cold tones and the strange Asian servants at home all created a sense of alienation and made everything more confusing. If it were placed in other movies, BMW's implanted advertisements would definitely make me sick, but here, in the car as a knife catcher, the occasional strange radar prompts fit the suspenseful and gloomy atmosphere at that time.

PS. The cast is completely strong, and the uniform British team can also reflect the director's dedication.

    I was sleepy when I watched it in the middle of the night

    It's been a long time since I watched a conspiracy movie, so enjoyable! I think it is very interesting for writers, painters, and musicians to hide passwords in their works. I thought Ivan was cute at first, but then I found out that the real highlight was the professor! The performance is just perfect! In addition, Brosnan also liked the part on the plane (both body language and level are good)

The Ghost Writer quotes

  • The Ghost: It's my first time in a private jet.

    Amelia Bly: Let's hope it's not your last.

  • Paul Emmett: I doubt it very much. The gate will open automatically. Be sure to make a right at the bottom of the drive. If you turn left, the road will take you deeper into the woods and you may never be seen again.
