East and West understanding and plot questions

Klopka (Perfectly Trapped) is a story about being forced to commit a murder.

Men and women can't afford their son's medical and surgical expenses with all their might, and his son's life is at stake... The loan was rejected, and there was no effective response to seeking help from the media. The father was forced to take risks and kill for commission. ....actually the employer is bankrupt, and completing the killer's mission doesn't mean getting life-saving money. But the desperate father didn't know it, and he even acted privately without telling his wife. At the same time, the underworld who was shot by him also left behind a pair of orphans and widows...

The "feature" of this story is that it happened in Eastern Europe.

If you don't know this background, the plot will show great loopholes.

In reality, in most countries in Western Europe, it is almost inconceivable that public health care does not cover the cost of children's surgery (especially for low-income families)? Even if medical insurance has restrictions on different surgical expenses, I believe that parents' application for loans will not be rejected. In the most clichéd case, we will see a warm and grateful story of rescue and rescue, a family being reborn with the help of a charity or religious institution...etc.

The ideal Eastern version of this story is probably like this : The parents raised the operation fee for the child and sold the property, with nothing left, the child's life was in critical condition, the arrears of the treatment fee was more than 5 figures, the hospital was in a hurry... So well-wishers sought help in the media, newspapers, news and TV programs paid great attention, Enthusiastic people in the society donate their money to help one after another....
A child touches the hearts of thousands of people. After learning about it, the local well-known entrepreneur XX expressed his sponsorship of all medical expenses, so major media reprinted it one after another, and the news continued to track and report, The final result, of course, was that the operation was successful, and everyone was happy.

Walking between the normative system and interpersonal power, if the plot of "Perfect Trap" is born in Western Europe and China, it is almost an extreme attitude.

Showing the living conditions of people in a specific environment, specific national conditions, and an unsound system is the inevitable reason why audiences who are accustomed to the typical Eastern and Western perspectives have doubts about the plot.

===================================================== =============



Some other things I think the plot can be flexible are: the

hero can't get the money, feels cheated, and decides to "settlement" with his employer. It turned out that the "employer" had gone bankrupt, and the murder was actually just for self-protection. In this scene, you can notice that the bankrupt villain also owns a villa and a BMW E39 that can be "pretend"...
Since the male protagonist is eager to save his son, he has already tried every means, so why not continue to force this bastard to sell real estate for money? It shouldn't be a problem to force him to go to the bank for a mortgage loan, or force him to sell a car and a house in the second-hand market for 30,000 euros... This bankrupt murderer actually died, and watching the performance fully expresses his desperation, and now he is most afraid The creditor has been wiped out, and it seems worthless to just guard the car and the dilapidated old house... When there is a threat to life, it is likely to sacrifice money to save life... The hero should take advantage of this. Therefore, I wonder what kind of psychology the male protagonist can't choose in this scene.

-------------------------------------------------- ---------------
In another place, the male protagonist has confessed in the police station. Although he is not accepted, I believe that he has left an impression on the psychology of the police handling the case. As the police continue to investigate the case, they will also investigate the victim's family, including those who are in contact with the victim's family.... And the next step is the murder of the male protagonist. The police will definitely think of him when filing a case for this murder. confession. By comparing the time of the crime and the traces at the scene (all possible), it should be able to confirm that he is the murderer. Then, when investigating the murder of the male protagonist, I am afraid that all clues will point to the wife of the victim of the underworld... It's a bit chilling.
From the logic of the police, there is a possibility that the woman hired a murderer to get rid of her husband, and then quietly killed her, and the killer's son received a "commission" as the operation fee at this time. ... which seems like a possible reasoning. What's more, the murder weapon is still in the hands of the woman... The police will be faced with a motive and insufficient evidence...

------------------------- ------------------------------------------
So, I actually want to say that if we start this story from the perspective of a policeman handling a case.... also assume that the policeman is a young and promising young man (hot-blooded Zhengtai) who wants to make great progress. His goal is to "scan the He wanted to dig out the inside story of the gangs involved in the city... According to his own inertial reasoning (watching too many conspiracy theory movies), he would infer the above conclusion and position the underworld wife as the ultimate murderer.

If the story unfolded in flashbacks from the end of the film, and uncovered the truth bit by bit through investigation and misunderstanding...

Maybe the story would be stronger and more interesting. The collusion between the police and the underworld will also be an important aspect of showing society.
