Pseudo screenwriter watching "Blood Maze"

Fade in, the monologue of a private detective, sets the tone of the film. From the structure, my understanding of the film is three scenes: 1. The first scene of the film is about 10 minutes long. I call it the beginning of the story. It explains that the heroine cheated with her husband's subordinates, and was discovered by the private detective hired by her husband, and told the story. husband. Several main characters appear in the beginning, and the characters of the main characters are preliminarily described, which makes the unfolding of the story more reasonable. 2. The second act is the unfolding of the story, which leads the husband to implement the murder plan through events one by one, and reaches the midpoint of the story at 40 minutes of the film, that is, the private detective shoots and kills the husband. This is a new development. Through the incident, the employee discovered the fake photo. In about 80 minutes, the third act was introduced, and the third act was the murder of a private detective who was counter-killed. And the biggest success of this film I think is that the structure is the character, and the character is the story. That is, the characters created by the film promote the development of the whole story. The husband's pent-up anger, the employee's reticence and concern, the killer's daring, greedy, and cold-blooded all push the story forward naturally. All unexpected and reasonable. Still a masterpiece

    The cost is low, the story twists and turns, and the atmosphere is tense. The Coen Brothers' debut novel has such a level. On the other hand, the imitation of the script is too high.

    It's bloody simple! Why don't you people just talk! The stubborn Texas red neck is almost unreasonable. In the maze, you can't see the whole situation and can't find the exit. Can't Americans install a security door? The debut is so mature, it is no wonder that it will become the Palme d'Or + Oscar giant in the future.
