"I think "Mr. Brooks" is an alternative work in Hollywood. It is not pure suspense or horror, but focuses on the discussion of the psychology of the characters, leaving room for the audience to think." As the film's starring and producer, Kevin Costner made no secret of his admiration for "Mr. Brooks", but unfortunately, "Mr. Brooks"'s box office performance in the United States was as weak as Kevin's 52-year-old age! In today's United States, young people in their 20s dominate the movie box office market. Actors over 40 have no appeal to them, even if they have acted in "Dancing With Wolves", "Bodyguard", "Robin Hood" Kevin Costner, must also admit this fact.

The protagonist of the film, Earl Brooks (Kevin "Cosner), is a polyhedron with a dual personality. In the eyes of outsiders, he is a successful entrepreneur, mingling in the upper class, well-dressed in various social places, and quite famous in the place. ; For the family, Brooks is a responsible father and caring husband, a standard family man. Everything looks so perfect. However, under all the gorgeous halo, Brooks is always surging deep inside. Uneasy desire - murder. Brooks is aware of this evil tendency in his own psychology, and vigorously resists this dangerous desire, in an attempt to redeem his soul surrounded by darkness. But at the same time, this uneasy and panic mood has And great satisfaction with Brooks' alter ego, Marshall (William "Hurt).
Marshall lives in Brooks' subconscious, dominates Brooks' behavior and thoughts, and enjoys his own existence and unknown "work". Whenever Marshall takes over Brooks' mind, the sanctimonious entrepreneur turns into a cold-blooded killer who tramples on innocent lives. Every killing is as capable as a task, concise, and never sloppy, and this modern bloodthirsty fills Brooks' nerves with pleasure all the time... The

    There are two sides to people, and that's the message the movie is trying to convey to the audience, and Mr. Brooks may be more extreme, given his frequent role reversals between angels and demons. While the story is great, the film falls short, with a mix of elements, but with a great sense of separation. Kevin Costner's performance is still commendable, and the soundtrack is also very particular

    People who study genetics will probably frown. Also, William Hurt is old, and has completely lost his sharpness, and I don't even recognize him. In addition, recently, I really feel that collage can be used to complete works of a certain basic level, which means that I have begun to understand collage as an art.
