At the end, we will find that we are the people in the maze! Still, we can get out of the labyrinth, if we can stay awake!
The great thing about the story is that it keeps taking us around, making us like we are in a maze, unable to determine the direction of the plot. Moreover, the two-line structure at the beginning of the film is playing with us, it looks like a parallel double line, but in fact, there is not much intersection, it is completely two lines that can be connected into a line.
Of course, to clarify the truth of the story, it is necessary to establish a "frame of reference", that is, to first clarify what is true! Like we explore the world of science. And what can be used as a "frame of reference" must comply with "systematic self-consistency" and the fact that "mutual confirmation" can be found!
At the end of the film, the female policewoman is imprisoned in the maze during the pursuit, and even injected with a large number of psychotropic drugs. The policewoman accidentally receives a call from the pizzeria outside and quietly follows the main villain (Dustin Hoffman) as she leaves, while the main villain is happily listening to the recording of the conversation with herself, recording her own game, ignoring that she is in the room. She also found herself in a maze, saw the news (about the police catching the real culprit – the man in the rabbit mask), and knew the map of the maze. Knowing that she is not the little girl who has been rescued (the villain misleads her, plus drugs, at first makes her think that she is a little girl who has been missing for more than a decade and then accidentally rescued, and he is sent by the police to carry out psychological profiles, trying to catch the criminal's psychologist and play games with her). So, take advantage of the fact that the villain is not paying attention, knock him down, and then take the map, walk out of the maze, and seal the entrance. This fragment is real because there are multiple aspects:
A We have also seen a female doctor on the one hand comforting her to sleep, but in fact, to the side, that hand is a pair of old man's hands, that is, the hands of the big villain.
B The television that the policewoman saw was consistent with the interview we saw earlier.
The policewoman C finally thought of her own scar from the scar of her broken abdomen, remembered the photo of herself in a police uniform with her daughter, and also thought of her desk, and the nameplate on the table: Mira Vaques (previously, the main villain also deliberately borrowed the title to play, giving her input "I was kidnapped for fifteen years, I gave birth to a child in the process, and now the police try to catch the real murderer through her mouth, and maybe even the daughter is still in the maze)."
The kidnapped little girl, Samantha, is not the same person as her at all.
E most importantly, her colleagues, who had been missing for 24 hours, expressed concern.
So, the big villain is finally caught by the female police! As for the end of the film, it is a conversation between the private detective and the villain who inadvertently met in the bar, suggesting the characteristics of the villain: good at influencing the thoughts of others, silently controlling others.
Because the plot of this accident (the policewoman caught the villain because she was kidnapped) and not the accident (the policewoman was supposed to go after the missing person) is real. Then the other main line can be stripped away without disturbing the line of sight (to put it bluntly, the movie is trying to fake a parallel two-line structure, which is actually two things and a line).
After stripping, it is the private detective who searched for the kidnapped little girl for fifteen years without success, but the little girl was accidentally found, and the discoverer called the police in time, so he was sent to the hospital by the police for treatment, and although there are also relevant psychological experts, they are helpless! Because of years of imprisonment and torture, irreparable psychological damage has been caused. However, the private investigator is slightly more persistent than the police, and he is also more whimsical and does not miss a single piece of evidence. So, along with the various testimonies, step by step: "rabbit" watching from the side, "rabbit" may be the real kidnapper, "rabbit" may have a scar on his face so put on a hood, when the scar on his face has, "rabbit" is a mask so it may be another person with a scar. "Rabbit" was injured by a strong counterattack while trying to hurt the private investigator's adopted daughter early on, and fell into the hands of the private investigator, but he was cunning and hired a friend with a scar on his face to try to divert his attention. Therefore, the little boy who was rescued three days after the first kidnapping was found- "Rabbit". A normal person who now seems to have no problems and has a wife and daughter, but is actually the real murderer who kidnapped the little girl. In other words, more than a decade ago, the villain kidnapped the little boy, just trying to use him as his own experiment, the object of his own psychological control, and successfully shaped a demon. And when this little boy grew up, he kidnapped the little girl, and even when the little girl was accidentally rescued (because the little girl did not enter the labyrinth); through self-harm, he entered the little girl's ward and tried to kidnap the little girl again (after all, he did not have a maze, and he had no psychological control ability, only a dark psychology, and was likely to hurt the little girl. When understanding this, once again emphasize the plot stripping of the fight with the female policewoman and the main villain). Because of the insistence of the private investigator, the truth was discovered before his death, and the police set up an ambush in time to catch him based on these truths.
Of course, there may be another possibility that psychiatrists are still involved in the kidnapping of the little girl, but this requires the fact that the little boy who was later controlled for a long time was also controlled to participate in it. However, the main villain is more likely to get relevant information from television and newspapers.
It's much simpler to explain: a psychiatrist, retired, has nothing to do, and loves to play games. What game? Even if he kidnaps a little boy or a girl, of course, he will kidnap a policewoman when needed! What's more, he's good at influencing other people's ideas and silently controlling others. The main means is to kidnap the little boy, and after three days in the dark, let him be rescued by the police. He also gave the little boy a copy of the "Little Rabbit" comic (in fact, it was a comic that hid the image of the demon through the mirror), and also guided him to look at it with a mirror, so that the little boy was replaced by the "demon" because of the "darkness that changed his mind". Kidnapping the female policeman, he first took a large dose of drugs to make the female police officer fall into a "sense of time loss", and then deliberately used a large number of psychological hints "there is no mirror in the maze, you did not notice the time", and then used some of her previous role plays, so that she seemed to see the memory of the police rescue herself and the female doctor treating herself in the confusion. Using the scars left by her previous caesarean section, it is implied that she once had a child to "collide" with the cat's memories. Repeated attempts were made to recreate the memories of the policewoman. However, in the end, she was recognized by the female police. Therefore, the story is finally a happy ending, the big bad guy suffers his own consequences, is imprisoned in the maze, not only the map is taken away by the female police, the exit of the maze is also locked.
The movie, its practical use of a lot of tricks to mislead us, the key is the two-line mode, let us always think that the female policewoman is the rescued little girl, so naturally in the psychological expectation that she as soon as possible with the help of experts to "profile" the appearance of the bad guy, to provide clues. It's actually another thing that's slightly related. In addition, it is used to repeatedly disrupt our thinking, and we follow the protagonist, the private detective, to hunt down the bad guys. But when we hear "Rabbit" and see "Devil Comics," we are quickly misled into the "Horror Movie: The Devil is on Earth" routine. Then, it is the common "name does not match" (which one does the name correspond to?). ) routines that make us miss out on real criminals time and time again. But movies are always self-explanatory and in line with the rules. And there's the central idea: the enormous harm that kidnapping does to people. And a large number of disappearance cases have not been closed, give us vigilance! 2021/6/27
