"Manhattan Nocturne"
and "The Pianist" starring Adrien Brody, the actor, was adapted from the novel of the same name by The New York Times. I thought it was a romantic love story about Manhattan, but it was a suspense film. He is a newspaper columnist with a happy family. One day, he ran into a strange woman at a party and asked her to investigate the case of her husband's disappearance. During the contact, the two had sex, but the truth was far from what they saw. Simple, through contact, the video shot by the woman and her husband advances step by step towards the truth. The director handles such a delicate novel layout, and the presentation of the film seems to be indifferent to the other, reluctantly. Because of the video, the male protagonist was also involved in a life crisis and the family suffered. One of the videos recorded the truth of the rich man. Fortunately, the video was found and the crisis was solved. What is the truth, the protagonist is curious, and the mysterious woman is still a mystery, so she goes to find the truth. It turns out that the so-called missing husband was killed by the woman herself and was hidden in the secret room. The rhythm of the film, which the director is not complimented by, confuses the audience and makes it difficult for the audience to calm down and move forward step by step. The good actors didn't show their acting skills either. The heroine was tall and beautiful, with some intimate and nude scenes, all for the purpose of attracting audiences and sensationalizing. The film is connected with the novel, and it is the dark experience of various characters. The heroine reveals her scars, and was sexually assaulted by her stepfather when she was a teenager. The stepfather promised her to give her a horse, and when he gave the horse, in front of her, Shot and killed the horse, her heart was cold, and she lost something of growing up. The rich man regained the video. Because of his shadow, he was accidentally injured in the lower body when he was 20 years old and lost his sexual ability. The male protagonist carries his wife and children behind his back, is empathetic, has no self-control, destroys the original happiness, and becomes a completely lonely individual. In life, everyone is a fresh child. Thinking of growing up is actually just paralysis. Everyone is buried deep with dark seeds that sprout at any time and make life fragmented.
