The director's narrative technique of first effect and second cause enhances the suspense of the plot, and the way of breaking the timeline also highlights the influence of time on psychology. The murderer's evil thoughts seem to arise in an instant, but it is a reflection of unwillingness to accumulate in a dull family life. The specific implementation has also gone through a long period of exercise, and the thought has become more and more irresistible during the exercise. The man who lost his girlfriend changed from worrying about finding to knowing the truth of what happened. Time has faded away from emotions and increased his sense of curiosity. This curious obsession has become stronger and unable to extricate himself with the passage of time, and finally Make him drink the chronic poison of time and dig his grave. At the end, the couple who had also dreamed of the golden egg became missing persons. Their heads faded out of our sight with an oval egg-shaped outline. The once buried coin that symbolized the unswerving love became a tragic fate. Martyred goods, this ending makes people sigh in vain.
In fact, we are all wondering what happened to the missing people? The director uses natural recordings to normalize the implementation process of the murderer’s psychological perversion. When the murderer is repeatedly frustrated, he is more comical. There is no violent psychological struggle, no strong sense of guilt, just like the occurrence of evil. Common and taken for granted, thinking about this is scary. Kubrick said this was the scariest movie he had ever seen, and I agree with most of this.
