This movie, recommended by a reader friend, has been several days in the past, because the time is too tight, it has been delayed until today to watch it, sorry!
To be honest, I regretted it after reading it...
Because it's so wonderful, I regret not pushing it to you a day earlier: "The Dark Side"
Bogota, Colombia.
Dark night, inside the bar, soft music, red men and green women, some people buy drunk, some people are sad.
The beautiful waitress Fabiana was busy delivering drinks while her eyes wandered over the male customers in the store...
At this time, a neatly dressed male guest with melancholy eyes attracted her attention.
She did not understand why such an elegant man would drink cocktails and cry frequently.
A man's tears are poisonous and can most touch a woman's soft heart.
The male guest stayed until the bar closed.
Fabiana also packed up her things and went home, only to go outside the store when an accident occurred - the elegant male guest was beaten at the door!
The kind Fabiana, so she lifted the drunken him up and drove him home in the man's luxury car.
A beautiful encounter seems to have begun.
Along the way, the male passengers kept crossing and swinging their hands to the music in the car.
He said to Fabiana: "I am the conductor of a symphony regiment, from distant Spain.
Saying so much and telling it so truthfully, the male guest has never been able to say his own address.
The enthusiastic Fabiana had to take him back to her home.
Only, this night... Nothing happened!
The next morning, when the male guest woke up and saw the strange, sexy Fabiana around him, he had lost the enthusiasm of last night.
Gloomy, he picked up the car keys and dropped only one sentence: I'm leaving!
He left coldly...
The lost Fabiana, standing in front of the window, watched him open the car door, and the luxury car slowly left...
She thought to herself: What is this man doing, why is he so melancholy?
"The Dark Side" is a classic film co-produced by Spain and Colombia, although it is classified as suspenseful and thriller in Douban, but the rating is as high as 8.2 points.
Director Andrés Bais can be said to be a god-like director, with few works, but the departments are classics.
One of the most famous is Narcos and the self-written and directed Devil: The Killer Files.

A strong sense of storytelling, a well-structured plot, and a profound analysis of human nature are Andrés's killer skills.
The whole film is composed of three parts, interspersed with flashbacks, and the layers are distinct.
The first part is the encounter between the waitress Fabiana and the male guest.
After the male guest leaves, he returns to the bar that night to look for Fabiana, and then has a relationship.
When she begins to live together, Fabiana inadvertently discovers the secret in a mirror in the male guest's house...
Because of this secret, we can see the psychological changes of Fabi anna, how the dark side of her heart defeats the white side little by little in the face of love (interest).
The second part, a flashback, explains the secret.
The plot shifts to Spain, beginning with the male guest being hired as the chief conductor by bogotá's famous symphony orchestra.
At the heart of this section is the creation of secrets, the man's ex-girlfriend gave up his career for love and went to Bogotá with his boyfriend...
Love seems great, but in some delicate relationships, she easily tested out the dark side of her boyfriend's psychology.
The third part still returns to the secret, but the protagonist of the story has quietly changed.
The ex-girlfriend did not test love, but suffered a lot of torture. At this time, love has died, and it seems that life has become more important.
Compared with the boyfriend's unsteady will to love, the dark psychological transformation of the ex-girlfriend after encountering mutations is the focus of this section.
It is worth mentioning that the waitress Fabiana, who I am interested in, can only be regarded as the number two in the film.
But because of her beauty and superb acting skills, many film critics have ignored the other two leading actors.
Some netizens commented that the biggest attraction of this film is the vacillation of the male protagonist, the mirror of the female number one, and the third is the appearance and heart of the female number two...
Although Martina Garcia, who came from a model background, is not from a cobain background, she has come from the bottom of this life and desperately tried to fight for a "good life".
Martina Garcia
Her heart is revealed before and after the development of the relationship with the male guest.
For example, when a male customer realizes his impoliteness and goes to the bar to apologize to her, her first reaction is not the usual polite routine of human beings, but directly saying: Indeed...
Hammer and finish!
When the male guest invited her, Fabiana refused: Do I still have to go to work?
In fact, was she upset by the indifference of the male guest in the morning? It seems more appropriate to say that missing out on the loss of a quality man.
To say this is nothing more than to deepen the guilt of the male customer and thus increase his own chips.
In the music hall, when the male guest who was empty inside, couldn't help but be aroused by her emotions, and tried to kiss her, she asked appropriately: Do you have a wife and a girlfriend?
After hearing a clear answer, I immediately seized the opportunity to take the initiative to dedicate myself...
I'm not a casual woman, I'm principled!
In addition, when the male guest talks to the head of the symphony group, whenever the key points are involved (the hidden ex-girlfriend, the departure, the house is rented, and the potential love enemy), her face will change with the weight of the benefit...
In addition to her heart, Fabiana's determination is reflected in the fact that after she met the male guest, she dumped her boyfriend with one kick.
In a conversation with the ex-boyfriend policeman at the bar, the boyfriend said: "You finally found an upper-class character without having to follow the poor cop."
In this regard, she did not shy away from it in the slightest, and her thoughts were debunked, and she also looked noncommittal.
However, it is such a superficial and realistic woman that the audience cannot produce the slightest boredom with her.
The scum of the male protagonist is naturally on the one hand, more because of her beauty, because she deserves it, and because this is human nature...
However, after getting it, the male guest has only a physical relationship with her from beginning to end, and it cannot withstand the slightest test.
The title of the film is "The Dark Side", and the theme is undoubtedly to illustrate a certain dark side of human psychology.
Three characters, three different positions, three different dark sides.
Many people think that Fabiana's dark side is mercenary, bent on marrying an upper-class elite.
Brother Monkey thinks that this is not enough to say that darkness is completely enough, at best, it is a very normal pursuit of a person, and I do not refute this.
The real dark side of Fabiana, as just said, is that after discovering the secret of her ex-girlfriend in the mirror, the white side of her psychology is swallowed up in the face of life.
On the normal human side, when we see a living person trapped in a secret room, the first thing to do is to rescue her.
Fabi anna's reaction was the same, only when she inserted the key, but gave up...
At this moment, she thought of the male guest who had climbed up the mountain with great difficulty.
She knows that compared to her ex-girlfriend, who is a designer and has deep feelings, her passion for a few days with male guests is simply insignificant and cannot withstand the slightest test...
For the sake of profit, she threw off the normal side and revealed the dark side.
The dark side of the male guest is direct and pure, and after the girlfriend disappears, his pain, his loss, is the normal side.
Including, developing the next relationship very quickly, can be understood.
You can say he's unsympathetic, but it doesn't constitute darkness yet.
His dark side is when the police find a body and ask him to identify it.
Of course, as the audience, we all clearly see that this corpse is not a girlfriend, but the male protagonist in the play does not know.
When confronted with a charred corpse, he didn't even look at it, and immediately denied: No!
In fact, at this moment, in his heart, he has decided that his girlfriend is dead (the heart is dead), and it does not matter whether this corpse is anymore.
From the time he got home, hugged Fabiana, and said the words: Belen has disappeared from my life, okay?
His dark side is only revealed, and by this time, he has forgotten that his girlfriend abandoned everything for him to come to a strange country.
Don't talk about feelings, from a moral point of view alone, a normal person should also collect her body...
The dark side of the boyfriend's girlfriend is after luring Fabiana into the chamber.
Before that, his tests on male guests, as well as psychological changes in the chamber of secrets, were not contrary to human nature.
It is normal for a person to have psychological changes in despair and face death.
Even, she seduced Fabiana and knocked her unconscious and locked her in the secret room, which was a normal venting psychology.
Her abnormality lies in the fact that she has been out of trouble, and her love heart is dead, so why she also pasted the picture of the male guest cheating on the mirror, continuing to create a scene of "sad running away".
This behavior has transcended the normal side of human nature... Reduced to a mad beast.
Some people say that the only person in this film who does not have a dark side is the dog named Hans, and when he saw this, Monkey Brother laughed.
Dogs are loyal, perhaps, but Hans in the film changes hands three times and is still "loyal".
Hans was raised by the landlady, who quickly got tired of being with the new owner after the old lady left.
When Fabiana arrives, after the owner is trapped in the secret room, it does show a loyal side, will lie in front of the mirror from time to time, it knows that the master is inside...
However, when Fabiana was imprisoned in the chamber of secrets again, the old master left, and he still barked "loyalty".
To put it bluntly, the dog's "loyalty" is based on "dog food", and feelings are a fart for it!
In the end, even the animals are not spared, which is the biggest feature of this film.
Of course, not all dogs in reality are like this, and not all people in reality are like this!
Another name of the film is "Man in the Mirror", which means whether people in reality can still maintain a person's posture under the refraction of a mirror...
The difference between man and beast is that man understands the concept of the bottom line, and once he transcends this bottom line and enters the dark mode, man becomes a beast!
