How It Should Have Ended

First of all, let's ignore the question of who Ben is. The heroine had an accident and her memory was damaged, that's it.


Then, in fact, the story should be like this:


Mike (fake Ben) played by Uncle Face and Mike played by Ma Qiang are actually a gay couple. Uncle Face's wife/lover, Nicole, discovered their relationship and ran to the hotel to catch the rape in bed, but was beaten to death and left outside.

After sister Nicole was rescued, her memory was impaired. Uncle Face and Ma Qiang were afraid of being exposed, so they designed to blind her. One person pretends to be her husband to ensure that she does not contact the outside world; the other pretends to be her psychiatrist to gain her trust to monitor her memory recovery.



↑This is the correct way to open it!

When Ma Qiang took out the needle and ran after Nicole, my heart was boiling with this plot! He turned out to be no villain! This is as unscientific as making Uncle Dou play Wolverine!


Sister Nicole let go of Ma Qiang as soon as she woke up. You are too easy to trust others. Not only doctors, but also girlfriends, they believe everything... What if she is also a liar... Her husband, Zhan Yimei, can play Trance's [Don't think about it].


And oh, in what year was this movie filmed? Why are the people in it still using such an old-fashioned Nokia... It's so exciting.

    Boring, but better than the novel, the novel is more boring

    Isn't this the female version of Memento?
