Cockroach score: 8.2

Mirage is a suspense film based on science fiction. The movie uses twin storms as time signals of the past and present, specific video recorders and video tapes as signal receivers, and televisions used as switches to show the upturning effects of the butterfly effect. The film uses suspense, ethics, maternal love and love to express the director's dissatisfaction and helplessness with the current social derailment (but the dark line of the film will be explained below), and criticizes the current society for adults who are too self-conscious and neglect children.

This movie is rated for the following points:

1. In the film twice, adults use the way of sacrificing children to achieve their own goals

2. Analyze the reason why Angel (burying his wife and planning) surrendered after 3 days and the possibility that the captain was an illegitimate child of Angel

3. Discuss the possibility that David is another murderer in the movie

4. The content of Laila's (adult Nick) dialogue with Nick and the simple way for the heroine to finally have memories

5. Summary

one

1. The scene of using a child for the first time in the movie was in the first timeline. David and Vera invited the captain and the captain’s mother to have dinner at home. The captain’s mother was telling the story of Nick. Repeatedly asked the captain to shut up, and finally the captain's mother got out of control and said: Enough. At the time, the captain's mother used Gloria (the heroine's daughter) to be scared to cover up her loss of control. At that time, when we saw Gloria heard this sentence, he lifted his head back and up (psychologically, this kind of action is very serious in listening to the story), the expression is a bit puzzled plus appropriate embarrassment , And then Gloria turned her head to Vera. It can be seen from Gloria’s eyes that she wanted to confirm from Vera if Vera also thought she was scared. Gloria was not The story is scared, and the plot behind in the room before going to bed can also be confirmed from Vera's mouth that Gloria was scared by lightning and thunder instead of the story.

2. After the story happened, Nick reported and exposed that Angel killed and dismembered and hid the body, the police had no evidence that Nick was lying. Prior to this, Angel got the insider's watch from the lover's phone at Angel's house. The smart Angel thought that Nick had taken the watch. Angel used the reason that the watch was stolen and asked the police to ask Nick to return the watch to Angel. On the one hand, this can make the police believe that Nick lied to the police because he wanted to conceal the fact of stealing the watch. The credibility of what everyone says to Nick in the future will greatly reduce the indirectness and reduce the threat to themselves. The second aspect can warn Nick: I can kill my wife and I can kill you someday. Angel's last sentence: If you can guarantee that you will not do such a thing in the future, we will treat it as if it has never happened. In fact, it means to make Nick shut up from today.

Angel's reasons for surrendering after 3 days are more complicated. First of all, everyone will think that Angel was surrendering himself to prevent his lover from being discovered by the police, and to sacrifice himself for love. However, the news said that Angel surrendered only 3 days later, which refuted Angel's point that the police would easily find loopholes. So because love is possible, but not the main reason. Let me continue to analyze

First of all, we can see from Angel's expression after Nick was killed. The expression at the beginning was full of regret and helplessness. Until the moment when we met the little captain, Angel's mood changed upside down. First, a huge sense of fear appeared on Angel's face, and then the knife in his hand fell involuntarily. Angel collapsed on the ground, his body leaning on the car, and his mind was thinking about unacceptable possibilities for the future. What is this possibility? We looked for information from the captain and Angel.

First, let’s look at the clues that can be found in a few movies

1. The captain’s father was a pilot and died in an exercise. The captain said that he almost never remembered his father.

2. There are a lot of photos that have appeared in the movie, and most of them have become foreshadowing, but I did not see any photos of the captain’s father in the captain’s home. Not only is there no family portrait of the captain, but there is also no separate photo of the captain's mother and father. So Cockroach wondered if this father existed.

3 In the scene where the heroine and the captain are at the airport, when the heroine says that Angel is a murderer. The captain's response was particularly resistant and aggressive, indicating that Angel was really good to the captain, and the love beyond stepdad would make the captain protect stepdad like this.

4 Angel in 1989 looked middle to middle age but had no children

5 The captain and Angel are a bit like

Let us analyze Angel’s personal settings. From the photos of the two wives in Angel’s family, we can see that Angel does not love his first wife, but is absolutely true to her lover. (For this, you can look at the sense of violation and intimacy of the two photos taken together.) From the phone call between Angel and his lover, I learned that Angel wants to confess to his lover with his wife when his wife comes back. Angel said to the lover: Don’t worry. OK. It is affirmation of the determination to live with the lover, which shows that Angel and the lover have been cheating on for a long time.

Angel saw that the car was about to hit Nick and asked Nick to stop, but Nick was still hit. Angel's performance showed that Angel was a good man with faith in his heart. When a normal person or a bad person sees a witness being killed, the evil side in their heart is secret joy, but Angell shows regret and regret.

Angel’s wife’s body was found, and the police constantly proved Angel at the police station. Angel only said one sentence that I would not say a word before the lawyer arrived. The evidence was conclusive. When transporting the corpse was about to go out, Angel discovered the abnormality of the dog and found that the door was broken and outsiders entered the room. Normal people would be distracted and cared about other things when transporting the corpse? It shows that Angel is thoughtful.

Based on the evidence presented in the above movies, the reason why Angel surrendered was absolutely spontaneous, not from outside pressure.

The first point is that Nick was killed in an accident because of Angel. Angel couldn’t get past his own level. What was in Angel’s mind was the devastating disaster for Nick’s family, so this directly led Angel to surrender spontaneously. Suicide in prison shows that Angel regards this as his own salvation. (Suicide is irresponsibility to the lover, this kind of salvation goes beyond love)

The second point is that Angel is not the real murderer, and the lover is also an accident caused by legitimate defense. If you hide the body or go to court after the body is found, you can also find evidence of legitimate defense (wife is the one who went upstairs after drinking. , Proving that the wife is emotionally unstable and murdering after drinking too much) can save the lover and him from prison. But, but, but, the important thing is said three times.

If Angel and lover are judged to be legitimate defenses, what will the captain do? Angel and lover indirectly led to the death of good friend Nick. In the future life of the captain, how to face his mother, how to face Nick's mother, how to face classmates, how to face everyone, the captain will always be imprinted with indelible discrimination on his head. This is the force that led Angel to surrender.

The third point is that we can suspect that the captain is Angel’s illegitimate child from the 5 points of evidence that the cockroaches provided in the above movie. (The huge number of derailments in Spanish real society has led to a flood of illegitimate children)

three

Another scumbag in the movie is David. There are also many murders that David may be involved in, as well as many similarities between David and Angel.

1 The screen appeared when David was sorting his belongings, and the hostess found that David still had pictures of his ex-girlfriend. The following point is: The photo is in a book, and that book is actually a book about criminal hiding corpses. Imagine who would put a picture of his girlfriend in this kind of book, indicating that his ex-girlfriend has a link with this book.

2 Then David changed the subject and said that Vera was jealous, and then added a meaningful sentence: I might call her again. Everyone will think that this sentence implies that David is a scumbag and a foreshadowing of the derailment. I think you are correct but the analysis is too shallow. The secret meaning of this sentence is: I might call her for certain things. Explain that they will contact for some unavoidable reason.

3 David was very interested in Angel, so he found the murder case on the Internet and discussed the suspicious points of Angel's confession to Vera: Who would take the initiative to say that it did not happen but planned in his mind to hide the body? David has a very good understanding of the prisoner's psychology and can discover the irrationality. Moreover, David is a banker, not a psychologist. It shows that David has an inseparable connection with the crime of hiding corpses.

4 On the blackboard in Laila's office, it was clearly written that David was suspected to be related to a girl who was missing from Utrera. First of all, it is impossible for the police to suspect a person for no reason, and David's position on the blackboard belongs to the first and largest suspect. And it can be known from the conversation between David and his daughter that David's family moved from the city to the villa in the country, and this city is Utrera.

5 When Laila and Vera were recording their statements at the police station, when Vera talked about David, Laila said: If you want me to help you, help me figure out the smallest details. But Vera thinks that these questions about David's problems are a waste of time, and Layla pays special attention to the details of David's life.

6 In the second timeline, Rivera provided clues to find the body. When Angel, lover, and lover’s brother were taken away by the police, David’s wife Ursula called David. She was flustered and scared, and the woman was afraid and worried. It's normal, but David's performance is incomprehensible. At that time, David was in a private meeting, and the true love he learned from David’s mouth was lying on the bed. David said he would be home in 5 minutes. First of all, David will not go home immediately because Ursula is afraid. Second, is it necessary for David to be very nervous and flustered when a neighbor is taken away? So David is going back to discuss similar things with Ursula.

Based on the above points, it can be concluded that David is the dark line in the movie, another murderer who has no evidence and is at large. I guess this homicide was caused by an accident. The director used similar characters to prove the possible accident.

1 David's persona is similar to Angel's persona, the same derailment, the same carefulness, and the same true love for the lover.

2 Ursula’s persona is similar to Angel's lover, and she panics as much as she encounters problems.

It is probably because of catching the rape and then dying accidentally. David is responsible for planning the hiding of the body. Everyone can have their own ideas.

Four

The most discussed is that Laila finally turned on the TV switch after Vera died, so it should be that Laila has the last memory and not Vera. The method is actually very simple and easy to understand.

The first thing to make sure is that if Laila has no memory, she will not let Laila press the TV switch last.

Secondly, Vera was the last person to press the switch.

OK, let's let Laila say to Nick: (Let Nick take the story back to when Vera first found Laila and recorded her confession at the police station) 25 years from now, Vera will come to you because of amnesia, you just turn the TV To Vera, let Vera tell Nick: Don’t go to Angel’s house, don’t prove Angel, don’t find Vera, be a policeman. Why does Nick listen to Vera, because Vera is romantic: I will come to you in 25 years and wait for me. (Later Vera said: He kept his promise. In this case, he is two people, one is Laila and the other is Nick. Only when they have fulfilled the promise can they succeed.)

PS: Yes, let the story repeat. When Vera arrives at the police station and sees Laila, then Laila directly gives Vera the TV and asks Vera to talk to Nick. Vera presses the switch at the end. People. So Vera will have all the memories, and then Vera will go to Nick to tell Nick not to find herself, and tell Nick that I will come to you in 25 years. So Nick will not have previous memories.

five

Summary: This is a movie worth watching (my scoring criteria: 8 points = worth watching, 8.5 points = very worth watching, 9 points = must watch, 9.5 points = regretting a lifetime if you don't watch it)

The director used the film to criticize the serious trend of derailment in society and explained that the derailment will not end well.

The many reversals and crossings of the film give the film a lot of points.

In the whole movie, only Vera and Nick’s mother embody the attitudes and responsibilities that adults should have towards children. The police and people around them distrusted Nick's words without evidence and thought he was crazy. This is really sad, you have to know that children are the future.

Finally, remind the masses not to derail first. Second, if you find that your spouse has cheated, please don't catch the rape.

    The director spent two hours and used a suspenseful case with a dark reversal to tell a love story of love at first sight, wonderful~

  • Else 2022-03-25 09:01:14

    If Vera finds two bodies in the box at the end, one of them is Nico. . . , how difficult the situation Vera faced, how shocking the torture was.
