It is not an exaggeration to say that "The Lost Tide" has a lineup of immortals. The two main protagonists of the film are Oscar-winning Matthew McConaughey and Oscar Best Supporting Actress Anne Hathaway, which is also another collaboration between the two after "Interstellar". In "Interstellar", the two play astronauts and scientists respectively. In "The Wave Mystery", the two became a former couple; Jason Clarke has starred in many masterpieces such as "Terminator: Genesis" and "Rise of the Apes: Dawn", and is also a typical power faction. Frank, the ex-husband who played the heroine in "The Wonder of the Waves", is also a fierce character; Diane Lane is an old hollywood goddess, and her early starring role in "Cotton Club" and the recent "Tully" have performed well. And she has played Superman's mother many times in DC superhero blockbusters, and she has ushered in the second spring of her screen career. In addition, the film also brings together the black actor Jerman Hansu, who has performed well in Hollywood in recent years... Such a strong acting school is full of acting fighting strength, and "The Puzzle of the Waves" is worth watching only from this immortal lineup.
As the name suggests, "The Mystery of the Waves" is a suspenseful crime movie. The brain-opening plot and the high-strength reversal make the film burn the brain at the same time as the suspense. In the movie, Karen, the heroine played by Anne Hathaway, gives her ex-husband Baker (played by Matthew McConaughey) a difficult task - to kill her current husband. And why and how to kill, is the truth after killing a husband as simple as domestic violence? As the plot continues to deepen, the truth of "The Puzzle of the Waves" is becoming more and more fascinating. The point is that the truth presented in the film is not necessarily the real truth. The truth is what the truth is, only by being deeply involved in this "puzzle" can we find the real answer.
The ex-wife found her ex-husband to kill her current husband, especially the heroine Karen actually asked her ex-husband Baker to feed her current husband Frank to sharks... I have to say that the plot of "The Mystery of the Waves" is not only a pure suspense film, but also deeply presents one of the hot topics in society - domestic violence. In fact, at the recent International Anti-Domestic Violence Day, the media also exposed many domestic domestic violence incidents. For example, Jiang Jinfu once again abused his foreign girlfriend, and for example, Tuotuo's current wife was pushed into the hot search because of domestic violence. However, after domestic women encounter domestic violence, the way they choose is still more rational and legal, that is, to call the police or seek legal help. But the heroine in "The Mystery of the Waves" is different, and fighting violence with violence is not only Karen's choice, but also the way many American women choose after encountering domestic violence. Therefore, when such a story is put on the big screen, after artistic processing, coupled with the creation of a suspenseful and thriller atmosphere, to a large extent, it has improved the watchability of "The Puzzle of the Waves".
Matthew McConaughey's ex-husband Baker, who originally made a living fishing, lived freely and quietly. But the arrival of his ex-wife Karen breaks everything about Baker, and the other side of his inner weirdness, paranoia, and madness is activated. In line with this is the violent, noisy, resentful, and even somewhat morbidity of his ex-wife Karen. When the emotions of the two are intertwined, it not only accelerates the enigma and innings of the plot of "The Puzzle of the Waves", but also plays an immediate role in shaping the character and promoting emotions. Matthew McConaughey and Anne Hathaway are also the kind that are weak and stronger in their performances, and the confrontation between the two people, to be honest, is more dramatic than "Interstellar".
Although "The Mystery of the Waves" seems to be a story of hard work, its deeper level reveals the realities of local society. This problem is not only limited to the domestic violence of scumbags against women, but also due to the contradictions and conflicts of the original family. Wife and husband, wife and ex-husband, son and mother, son and stepfather, and even the trauma of war, the shadow of childhood, how to solve this hemp-ridden family problems, parent-child relationship, social contradictions, force and killing is a last resort. But this kind of means can never solve the root cause of the problem and the essence of the event. Because, dead one Frank, there will be more Franks coming forward. From this point of view, "The Puzzle of the Waves" is not only a puzzle in the movie story, but perhaps also a puzzle in the world we live in.
