There are a lot of films shot in Oxford. There are "Harry Porter", "The Golden Compass", and Edison Chen's "7 Hours of Jet", but this one is the most enjoyable for me, I don't know why the filmmaker just picked mine College, so at the beginning of the film the protagonist Martin was brought to the front yard of the st edmund hall where I was about to leave the place where the geek Russian guy who was a bit geek explained his theory was stolen for the first time before and after his study. . . What's more irritating is that the protagonist is reckless, and the extras are walking back and forth on the lawn of the front quad in pairs. . . Students in this college don't usually get this kind of treatment. It seems that the college can bear any "grievance" in front of outsiders for a little money. . .

Of course, when I saw those buildings in the film, I was still happy and proud. The filming location in Oxford was quite concentrated, the Bridge of Sighs, radcliffe camera, sheldonian theater, blackwell's on broad street, just that one. . . However, although the interspersed and connected shots are smooth, it seems quite jumpy to those who are familiar with the land: the Russians deliberately avoided Arthur Seldom when they came out of blackwell's, Arthur threw a paper ball into the trash can at the door of blackwell's, and the camera turned By the time his footsteps turned back to his upper body, he seemed to be striding in front of the Bridge of Sighs, 100 meters away; at this time, Martin rode his bike past, was blocked by a blue car, and arrived at an unknown residence. . . Personally, I think it's not easy to do photography and editing if it's smooth enough to look like the real thing. . .

As for the film, imdb only gave 6.3 points. . . I think it's good. On the one hand, there are scenes of familiar scenes, and on the other hand, there are some truths and terminology. . . Many maths terms, occasionally a physical one, for example, Arthur compares Beth to an electron and uses Heisenberg's uncertainty principle to explain the uncertainty of its physical position, which is wonderful. . . Many seemingly profound terms cover up the truth, but the wonderful thing about this film is that it did not make a series of murders a perfect murder, but Arthur's genius on the spot, and finally "attributes credit" to the motive of the killing with the explanation of the butterfly effect. The protagonist Martin, who is so obsessed with solving the case, is wonderful. . .

So, comrades in Oxford and reading theory, take a look. . . . . .

The Oxford Murders quotes

  • Arthur Seldom: There is no way of finding a single absolute truth, an irrefutable argument which might help answer the questions of mankind. Philosophy, therefore, is dead, because whereof we cannot speak, thereof we must be silent.

  • Arthur Seldom: Since man is incapable of reconciling mind and matter, he tends to confer some sort of entity on ideas because he cannot bear the notion that the purely abstract only exists in our brain. "The beauty and harmony of a snowflake" - how sweet. "The butterfly that flutters his wings and causes a hurricane on the other side of the world" - we've been hearing about that damn butterfly for decades, but who has been able to predict a single hurricane? Nobody! Tell me something. Where is the beauty and harmony in cancer? What makes a cell suddenly decide to turn itself into a killer, metastasis and destroy the rest of the cells in a healthy body? Does anybody know? No! Because we'd rather think of snowflakes and butterflies than of pain, war, or that book. Why? Because we need to think that life has meaning, that everything is governed by logic and not by mere chance. If I write 2 then 4 then 6, then we feel good because we know that next comes 8. We can foresee it. We are not in the hands of destiny. Unfortunately, however, this has nothing to do with truth. Don't you agree? This is only fear. Sad... but there you go.
