The beginning of the article is a bit slow, but fortunately, a few life-like scenes naturally clarify the characteristics of each character.Before Thanksgiving dinner, the rainstorm is coming outside the window, which indicates the next suffering and test of these families. The two are naughty. After retrieving the small whistle, I went around to play in the car and was taken for a drive by the well-intentioned Alex. Later, the old woman saw that she had a bad idea. Killing children in order to show dissatisfaction and confrontation, and he, this hunter, carpenter, devout and faithful, is always ready to deal with and bear everything, thanks to his father's status as a prison guard, a lifetime and some wicked people. When dealing with, it is inevitable that he has a bit of excessive defensiveness. This mentality continues to him. Look at the gas masks and various reserves in the basement. They are almost typical of survival madness like us. From his teaching children's attitude towards "compassion" , You can see the difference between him and the black couple.At the critical moment, he was a wolf who came up fiercely. In order to save his daughter, he could play with no matter how hard he was, especially after listening to the passage of the bible on the radio. He strengthened his idea of ​​using private []-"There is always suffering in human life, especially those who fall into sin, they will have to suffer hardship and sanctions."

On the other hand, one of the main reasons why Dover chose the punishment of [] is Out of the inaction of the police outside of Loki, first they tried their best to go in the wrong direction. When interrogating Alex, the same question would be repeated: Did you kill her, did you kill her, did you kill her, did you kill her? Where is the night? Did you kill her?...and so on. Questions like "no" can be sent for ten hours, but when the protagonist is tried, he is very witty, and he is very good at playing side by side,

especially after the suspect is released. According to common sense, the first priority after the release of the true culprit due to insufficient evidence is to clear the evidence. At this time, the hidden guard can dig up the whereabouts of the girls sooner or later, but the police have done nothing in this regard, and even if there is no suspicion, there is no need to continue to monitor them. Protect him from being attacked again, right?

The inaction of the police in the film made the father do what they should have done. While monitoring in the car, Alex made obvious abuses to the dogs, and even hummed the girls missing. The song sung before, followed by the protagonist's most misguided move. After having clear evidence, he did not lurch behind him, but directly exposed himself, and he was so pitiful that he was so obsessed with medicine that he couldn't even understand the problem. The insect was half dead, and forced him to answer a question that he couldn't even understand for several days. Too much energy was spent on this delirious person to make the girl's chance of surviving less and less. Fortunately, the love of a madman is infinite, and in the end, it is a girl. Therefore, he was able to escape because of all his extreme actions, forcing the police to continue to keep their attention on the "non-suspicious" family, making the process of solving the case messy but always on the right path. If Alex, Loki is not kidnapped. How can I just happen to run into an old woman who is about to kill a girl?

================================== ================== The

description of several characters in the film is not very clear, so that several film reviews have mistakenly identified their identity.

A total of 18 people were kidnapped, 14 After being filled with medicine and buried in the soil (this is probably the reason why the old woman wanted to be cremated in the end), Alex was able to survive all because of being filled with XX ketones, leaving only ten years of IQ and forgetting everything. He doesn't have the threat of leaking secrets. The old woman who can stand alone can hardly stop loneliness and simply keeps him as a pet by her side. (Note that the old woman raises a dog to relieve boredom. The girls let them out to accompany themselves, which seems to indicate that the couple was determined to avenge God by abducting other people's children because of the loss of their children.)

For Alex, the old woman who took care of him after being imbued with amnesia was like the first person he saw when the duckling came out of its shell. It developed dependence and emotion, and the two simply cuddled together, which is why he I am willing to stay, and the scene of the film abusing the dog is purely a smoke bomb placed by the director for the subsequent reversal. In order to make the audience suspicious and divert the attention of the old lady, by the way, this kind of dog abuse is very simple for Alex. Like a child holding a goldfish in a fish tank, he was just imitating what the couple did to other children, rather than indicating that he was an accomplice or pervert. In fact, his friendliness even made the tied girls not even before he left. Will cry (the remarks in the parking lot are not provocative, but the truth) When

Alex was irrigated by boiling water, he confided the intermittent truth that he was not alex, but he was not understood by Dover, he was just another one who was not rescued Nothing, an empty shell with no memory, just like the plot in Torment: The victim’s family mistakenly abused another victim by day-to-day cruelty and cannot extricate themselves. Who knows that the real murderer is still at large. All this makes a few paragraphs right. The scene of alex's torture is quite anxious. In the

film, the snake-keeper who committed suicide was the second surviving victim. Although he escaped by luck, his mind had been destroyed by an overdose of drugs, and a large amount of XX ketones caused brain damage. It made him unable to remember any details of those three weeks, and the case has not been solved yet. Even if young people who have been abused go out of that gray experience and bury them, they will always have a special impression on one or two things. He is also with amnesia. The absence of anything in the home shows that he has spent his entire life trying to find the person who abused him. He has nothing but a slight impression of certain symbols and fear of snakes.
In order to clarify his mind. The meaning of that lingering symbol, to find the connection between these fragmentary clues, he began to read books on such kidnapping crimes, and even personally imitated the method of committing the crime inside, playing himself as the person who had hurt him, just to be able to From the perspective of an abductor, put yourself in and think, "If I am a pervert who specializes in kidnapping a child and killing him with drugs, how would I think about it and how to do it?" This is why he buys children's clothes all the time. , Even sprinkled pig blood on the dummy and buried it in the soil.


After the two girls in the film disappeared, he knew that he had finally waited until the man committed another crime. This was a great opportunity to catch him. In order to restore the case as much as possible, he sneaked into the protagonist’s home and stole the children’s clothes. Put yourself into a state, use the psychology of an abductor to understand the other party's behavior pattern, and then pursue it, but he was chased by loki repeatedly until
he was arrested. There are more than a dozen black boxes in his home that are locked, which symbolizes his three weeks of being arrested. The imprisoned memories are filled with objects such as poisonous snakes, maze pictures, blood-stained children's clothing and other items that represent related clues, and these are all locked in a small black box. I guess all his efforts are to pry. Unlocking the lock that filled his heart with the past, only by knowing the truth of the year can he escape from the maze. It can be said that it is a very sad but not deeply portrayed or even not understood by the audience.

As for the character This couple, I think the truth should be that the husband could not bear to continue to kill for no reason. After a big quarrel with his wife, he sought confession from the pastor, but he was hesitant to continue the murder. The latter pastor could hardly resist blaming himself for being drunk all day long and even falling asleep on the ground. Loki, who was interviewing from house to house, saw this and broke the door decisively. Then

she discovered that the corpse in the cellar was on the other side. She was alone after her husband left. She had limited abilities and couldn't deal with the overall situation. Xiang Zheng left Dover, but only the black girl was able to escape. Later, "you were there" in the ward explained the above

The tone of the film is always very depressing. At first, I was also worried that the carpenter’s sanity would completely fall as the plot progressed, and eventually developed into a tragic ending in which the identities of the abuser and the perpetrator exchanged in Death Penalty, and the jade was burned, especially his A few words "I will never be wrong, it must be him, and we can't treat him as a human." This is just as the black man fears. What he sees is what he wants to see, and then he is controlled by these thoughts, just like the poisonous woman said. In that way, "the pain of losing a child turned you into a demon", paranoia was very angry and forced him to hurt an innocent person who he believed was a criminal. Even at the end of the film, he did not choose to call the police after he knew where his daughter was. Instead, he carried the gun in his bag and insisted on handling it by himself,

leaving hope in the end. The innocent Alex was rescued in time, and the two girls were also out of danger. The woman’s body excavated the stiff body of her daughter from the mud, the feeling that day and night prayers were betrayed and ignored by God, would it ignite the idea of ​​wanting to fight against it, to quote, "When an accident comes Everyone is occupied by their own inner demons. There is no way to vent their anger, and they can only do extreme things. This is the biggest prisoner."

As for the ending of the film, contrary to the fog, a small red whistle is accompanied by a wave Tough fatherly love, under the damp crypt is hope that will not be obliterated. The timing of the end of the picture is very appropriate. May Loki be attracted by the whistle in the end, what do you say
