About a few years ago, there were two wonderful suspense and reasoning movies that were highly respected, one was Italy's "Perfect Stranger", the other was Spain's "Invisible Guest", the story of both films, both of which were typical of the Nth power of "Inception", in the process of plot advancement, fell into layers of mysteries, the truth was repeatedly reversed, making people want to watch.
Nowadays, the Italian film "Perfect Stranger" has been remade into different versions by countless countries, and Italy has also remade Spain's "Invisible Guest", which is the "Dead No Proof" released in China, this remake, on the surface, is a reproduction of the original script recognition, but inside how can you feel a kind of competition caused by disobedience.
If you have not seen the Spanish version of "The Invisible Guest", you can go directly to the theater to see "Dead No Proof", you will definitely be able to harvest a continuous, layered surprise and joy, if you have seen the Spanish version, then it is really a very interesting thing to compare the two works, not only happy at the entertainment level of fans, but also can rise to a more professional story background, character settings, costumes and other categories of comparison. "Dead No Proof" is first of all a very perfect preservation of the essence of the original work, so that this nearly perfect story can be reproduced from a foreign country, but if you look closely, you can find that "Dead No Proof" does have a very obvious design, intended to be better than the original.
"Dead No Proof" as a remake of the classic, in terms of the current quality, is not lost to the original, the film's shooting and production, the film's rhythm and atmosphere, the film's fluency and suspense, etc., have maintained a high standard, at the same time, "Dead No Proof" in many "indicators", there are transcendence of the original work, such as the main creative lineup, have been favored by the three major European film festivals, the director's grasp of quality, the actors in the performance of the superb and wonderful, leaving a particularly deep impression on the viewer. As a result, a Spanish niche literary and artistic film has become an Italian commercial film without compromise, and it is very lamentable that the dimensionality reduction blow of Italian filmmakers is quite open-minded.
In line with the creative concept of "blue out of blue and better than blue", "Dead No Proof" dances more agility and brilliance under the almost perfect story setting of the original work. For example, the beginning of the film, is the male protagonist Doria deeply involved in the murder suspense, the process of meeting with the barrister Ferrara at home, throughout the film, the relationship between the two, compared to the more stable Spanish version, "Dead No Proof" more dramatic conflict and emotional confrontation, such as when the two just met, the male protagonist Doria showed intuitive resistance and distrust to the visiting strange lawyer, and his distrust was gradually dissolved with the continuous direct and in-depth dialogue between the two.
Then, when the lawyer learned that the other party really had a murderous act, the barrister Ferrara suddenly broke out of control and angrily accused the other party, which really made people worry that their conversation would collapse. However, friends who have watched "The Invisible Guest" will feel that there is no such bridge in the original version, and many of the finishing touches of the Italian team this time are arranged realistically and cleverly, which is to give more reminders and hints to the audience in front of the big screen. There are many more situations like this, which undoubtedly help the audience's understanding of the context of this brain-burning film.
In "Dead No Proof", there are many detailed settings, you can see the creator's intentions, such as the hotel where the male protagonist and the photographer's lover last met, in the previous version, it is a hotel located under the mountain, and the hotel in this version is built on the top of the mountain, which invisibly adds too much inner insecurity to people, and for example, the concept of masks and performances embedded in this version is not only a very turning and dramatic soul pen of the whole film, but also increases the watchability of the film.
There are "good things" fans have counted, "Dead No Proof" is a god work with 44 reversals, such a meticulous setting, almost can make programmers unemployed. Compared with the "Creed" of the Nolan God who is currently being screened, although everyone has complained about the brain, in fact, it is just a pincer structure, telling a story that saves the present through time retrograde in the future, in fact, it is still straight to give, in contrast, "Dead No Proof" such a few minutes as a reversed movie, is really to see the atmosphere of people dare not come out of one, of course, "Dead No Proof" does burn the brain, but the burning is the brain of the screenwriter, for the audience, as long as the middle is not distracted, it can be fully understood, this is not to worry.
