Grace! The combination of music and plot makes the mood of this film very delicate, neither slow nor urgent, and relaxed. You will definitely feel unconsciously that whenever a tense plot ends, there will be a set of montages that match the music, allowing the emotions to delay for a moment, and then start to advance. Moreover, completely driven by the male protagonist's action line and emotional line, after reading the complete story of this double-faced demon, his calmness, his fragility, his hesitation, his...elegance!

It can only be elegant. The elegance of this film is the same as the appearance of the male protagonist. The setting of this character, as well as the setting of all other characters, is just right in the proportion of plot and emotions, and the existence of all characters is In the service of shaping the male protagonist, let’s take an example. The relationship between the female police officer and the father who prefers sons to women is designed. She is a rich second generation. Why did she come to be a police officer? This suspense is thrown at the beginning of the relationship between the male protagonist and her. The audience also moved the male protagonist uneasy, this kind of police who don't care about money, "too close"! It is still to shape the character of the male protagonist. And this suspense, at the end of the film, is revealed. This revealing plot is designed to be the curiosity of the male protagonist. After he has everything done, and after he decides not to wash his hands, he sees the small red mobile phone and can't help telling the policewoman. I made a phone call and provocatively and calmly asked for this answer. It turned out that the policewoman's father prioritized sons over women. On the one hand, this answer enriched the character of the female policeman, and at the same time, it also three-dimensionalized the character of the male protagonist. This reminds me of the so-called villain who looks like Tong Liya in "Crowded Crowd". When she talks about her rough love in the car, it will make people feel divided emotionally. After all, she is just a villain. It's still the emotions of the killer and the actor. Her tragic experience has no direct relationship with the two protagonists, only the so-called relationship at the level of film critic analysis, so in the process of watching the film, it is very abrupt, as if a separate emotional field has been opened up. Useless.

Foreshadowing, about the policewoman's father, about the nightmare of her daughter, the director gave the foreshadowing as soon as possible, consciously digging the hole, consciously filling the hole, really a responsible director/screenwriter.

This is a movie worth watching again and again, simply because of this mr.brooks!

Mr. Brooks quotes

  • Detective Tracy Atwood: Jesse, you know what would make me feel really safe right now? If you got hit by a truck and died!

  • Mr. Earl Brooks: [after scaring Smith] Don't worry. If I were here to kill you, you would already be dead. After you left today, I realized that our friendship was a little one-sided. So tomorrow night when we meet, if you'd be so kind as to bring all the pictures and the memory card from your camera. That way we could like each other simply for who we are. If you don't show up, I will presume that you've gone to the police, and I will kill you. Even if I go to jail because of you, Mr. Smith, someone will find you, wherever you are, and they will kill you.
