In no particular order: details to be explained

3 points: 14. Bullet holes in the shape of a man in the bed, and a portrait in a shattered glass frame.

Eve's dialogue: i'v been looking for him since yesterday.

------This is very interesting. Yesterday here can refer to yesterday according to the plot, or it can echo the yesterday in the soundtrack. In fact, this film is about yesterday. Use this word to refer to the past or the passing away.

According to the plot, the contradiction is that in the subsequent plot, the male protagonist called the police station on the day he said goodbye to Eve. And he was hunted down as a traitor, but it was the next day. So what happened after he finished the phone call? Why wasn't he there himself? Where has he gone? An opium den? Why did his friends die but he escaped? Isn't it weird? If Noodles originally thought, he called the police to save Max's life by putting himself and his friends in jail. This is a doubt.


5 points: 18. How could Mo know that the male protagonist is in a Chinese theater?

Underworld Dialogue 1: Who are you protecting? Is that the scumbag who betrayed his friends? Those people are also your friends. (Explain why the male protagonist was hunted down, betrayed and betrayed)

Underworld Dialogue 2: I get it, you want to end up with that bitch. (Foreshadowing for the later plot, don't speculate from this sentence that Eve has been killed)

    It's so stuffy that I can't breathe. Value and time, growth and betrayal. It's still such a powerful film.

    The accumulation of too many life-like details makes the film more realistic, but the more content that has little connection with the plot also makes the whole story look lengthy; in addition, some of the shots of the film are designed, although the diversity of the shots is increased, The slightly deliberate connection also makes the editing of this film look unnatural! Coupled with the cruel and terrifying bloody pictures, I can only say that I don't like such a movie with a good reputation!
