Talking about "instinct" always reminds people of a lot of stories, as well as many characters and objects, such as beauties, writers, detectives, sex scenes, etc.
In fact, before the release of "instinct", a similar film also attracted a lot of attention, and based on the actor's acting skills and status, the film still got a lot of attention, but weaker than "instinct".
I have seen this movie today, and it is really not much worse than "instinct" in terms of self-feeling. coupled with the blessing of Alpacino, this is definitely a good movie.
Never mind, the name of the movie is "Midnight shock", a film co-starring Al Pacino and Alan Ba Jin, the plot is still quite good.
Unlike the open ending of instinct, the ending of Midnight shock is more closed-loop and does not leave the audience much room for reverie, which may be the gap between the two films.
The story is also based on the murder case as the introduction, the difference is that the male lead Frank played by Al Pacino has some special character settings, saying that he has no hope of promotion in the police station, his family is in a mess, he has been dumped by his wife, he has started drinking, broken cans and the like, which are some characteristics of men of that era.
This kind of mournful culture seems to be popular in the United States for a while, such as Nicholas Cage's "leaving Las Vegas" style, for which Cage won an Oscar. But then Cage really depraved, and people really didn't like him.
Back to the subject, Frank began to drink and get drunk, and often harassed his ex-wife. He looked like a scoundrel and was not a good policeman anywhere. Until a murder occurred in his precinct, a man was killed in bed, naked.
Romantic music was playing in the room, which made people feel a little strange.
Although Frank seemed ignorant, he had his own unique opinion in the face of the case. He quickly told the leader his inference that the man was killed by his lover, who had just met him. The reason is that if he is an old lover, he will not play music so romantically.
The leader assigned Sherman to be Frank's partner, and when they didn't have much to go on, a second murder occurred, the same M. O., the same music, and Frank Sherman felt the pressure.
But they soon discovered what the two dead had in common, that is, they both published dating information in the newspaper, and the message was very poetic. Frank thought this was the trigger for their murder, so they found another person on the Internet who wrote a similar dating message.
But surprisingly, the man had a happy family. When Frank and Sherman explained why they were here, the man refused their request and invited them out on the grounds that they had invaded their privacy.
As Frank expected, the man was killed soon. Now all the clues seem to have been interrupted, but in desperation, the two men decided to use the final trick, that is to let Frank publish similar dating messages to attract the arrival of the killer.
So Frank began to date women frequently, but these people did not enter Frank's eyes, until Frank met Helen, the same name as the queen who led to the slaughter of Troy, is also a great beauty.
Helen's appearance let Frank see a glimmer of dawn, the emotional tug-of-war between the two began, interesting twists and turns I will not repeat here, but it is said that some people were very angry after seeing the sex scene between Helen and Frank, saying that Helen was not worthy of Frank at all. after all, Alpacino was already a top star, while Ellen Ba Jin, who starred in Helen, was not so famous.
It is said that at the peak of Alpacino, many female movie stars wanted to play with him and were proud to be in bed with him. I have to say that Alpacino is quite charming.
As for whether Helen is a killer or not, I'm not a spoiler. Let's find a movie and watch it. If you can't find it, you can contact me and I'll figure it out.
In addition, recently Shunzi also began to sell some things, although I do not like this way, but after all, we still have to live a good life. I post a lot of free resources among fans, and those resources are charged and valuable in many groups.
