Press 1 to 4 to log an answerDeliver the Verdict Case Closed Verdict Your Mystery Movie Is 🕯 Clue Jonathan Lynn · 1985 You are the most fun thing in the room, and you are not remotely in control of it. Clue is a murder mystery built from a board game, played at farce speed by one of the best comic ensembles ever assembled, and it refuses to commit to a single answer. That is you: loud, quick, impossible to plan around, and the reason anybody had a good time. Case Notes You keep the energy up and the plan loose, and people have a much better evening because of it. Three different endings were sent to different cinemas in 1985, so the answer depended on which screen you walked into. It flopped completely, found its audience on video, and went back into cinemas for its fortieth anniversary with the endings randomised again. Your flaw is that chaos is excellent company and a terrible plan. Chaotic Quick Sociable Unserious 🪟 Rear Window Alfred Hitchcock · 1954 You watch, and you notice the thing everybody else walks past. Hitchcock trapped James Stewart in one room with a broken leg and a view of his neighbours, and built an entire thriller out of a man looking out of a window and being right. You are the one who clocks the detail nobody announced, and you are usually correct before you can prove it. Case Notes You are quietly the most observant person in your circle and you notice changes before anybody mentions them. The courtyard was one of the largest sets ever built at Paramount, with thirty-one apartments and working plumbing. It was nominated for four Academy Awards including Best Director and is still taught as the cleanest thriller ever constructed. Your risk is that watching and doing something about it are not the same, and you know it. Observant Patient Curious Detached 📦 Se7en David Fincher · 1995 You take things on, and you do not put them down. Fincher made a serial killer film where the detectives are losing the entire time, shot it so dark the studio complained, and refused to change an ending that everybody told him would sink the film. You have that same refusal in you, and it has cost you more than you let on. Case Notes You are the one who keeps going after everybody else has accepted it cannot be solved. New Line wanted a different ending and Brad Pitt reportedly refused to make the film without the one they shot. It turned Fincher from the director who had a bad time on Alien 3 into the defining thriller director of his generation. Your weakness is that carrying something this long does real damage, and you are usually the last to notice. Relentless Serious Principled Haunted 📸 Memento Christopher Nolan · 2000 Nobody can quite follow your thinking, and you get there anyway. Nolan told the story backwards, so the audience knows as little as the man at the centre of it does, and the whole film becomes an argument about how much of what you believe you simply decided to believe. You arrive at the right answer by a route nobody else would have taken. Case Notes You work things out sideways, and explaining the route takes longer than the answer did. It was nominated for Best Original Screenplay and Best Film Editing in 2002 and won neither, which still annoys people. It cost around nine million dollars, made over five times that, and built the career that led to everything after. Your flaw is trusting your own version of events slightly more than the evidence supports.
