A few days ago, I watched the thriller movie "White Night" directed by Christopher Nolan. The plot is roughly as follows: Will Dormer (Al Pacino) is a seasoned LAPD detective. He was ordered to go to a remote Alaskan town with his partner Hap to investigate a case about the murder of a 17-year-old girl.
This is an area with a very special geographical environment. Here it is always day, the sun never sets, and there is no night. Dormer and Hap found the first suspect in the case-reclusive novelist Walter Fintz (played by Robin Williams). They followed Finz to a rocky, foggy beach, but Finz suddenly disappeared into the mist. Just as Fintz escaped Dormer's sight, a gunshot fired, and Hap fell in a pool of blood.
With guilt for the murder of his companion and a sense of responsibility for the case, Domo was forced to join the psychological game of cat and mouse with the wily Finz... (From Baidu Encyclopedia)
After watching this film, my feeling is that there is no perfect human nature in the world. Human beings will have shortcomings, and if they have shortcomings, they will inevitably be exploited by others. For example, the shrewd and capable Inspector Domo in the film was tricked by Finz because of his selfishness. Gotta go around. Having said that, we are all inevitably pessimistic by the dark side of human nature. But people will reflect. But as Mr. Fu Lei said, "The real light is never without darkness, but never covered by darkness. The real hero is never without humble sentiment, but never succumbed to humble sentiment", When reason and sense of responsibility returned to Detective Domo, things began to get on the right track. Knowing the two sides of human nature, maybe we will not be too pessimistic and disappointed about the dark side of human nature, and at the same time, we will be more tolerant of human shortcomings.
Watching this kind of film, I often sigh at the profundity of human nature revealed by foreign films, while domestic films are rarely comparable. One of the scenes in the film that impressed me is: Inspector Domo was looking for something in the hotel room to block the windows tightly. When the hotel attendant who heard the sound complained that he was disturbing the people, Domo confide in her His own experience, this plot reveals that Duomo is in a fierce conflict and struggle at this time. On the one hand, he wants to cover up the matter; Urgently find someone to talk to.
There is one part of the film that I don't quite understand. It was Dormer who heard a message from the victim girl's girlfriend named Brody, and then found the novelist Walter Fintz through this. How did Brody get in touch with Fintz? I looked through the plot and couldn't find a direct clue. I suspect that Brody is a character in a novel written by Fintz.
