Subject to the censorship system, the domestic film and television industry is more sensitive to some social reality themes.
The "Hidden Corner" of the previous fire, in order to pass the review, hid a lot of important information in the details. The audience must analyze carefully to truly understand the series.
While we lament the high IQ of the crew, we can't help but envy the south korean next door that can make works such as "Suyuan" and "Melting Pot", without having to hide the ugliness in reality.
There are not many domestic film and television works that are willing to touch the theme of child sexual abuse, and the "Carnival" in 2017 is counted as one.
The 2018 series of online movies "The Way of Sin" is also one.
There are three films in this series, namely "Sin Way 1: Death Train", "Sin Way 2: The Price of Redemption" and "Sin Way 3: The Rules of Justice".
In fact, rather than a series of movies, it is better to say that "The Way of Sin" is a three-episode web mini-series.
Three episodes must be watched together, and if you watch only one of them, then the story is incomplete.
In the film, during the K35 train, it suddenly encounters a landslide and the tunnel in front of it is blocked.
In the dead of night, the train, carrying only eight passengers, had to stop moving.
There are only eight passengers nominally, but at the beginning of the film, in addition to the police officer Lao Ho (Han Parkjun), the flight attendant Xiao Wang, the flight attendant Xiao Li and the food truck waiter, there are two people who do not know who (?). ）。
After the train stopped, the two men sneaked into the sleeper car and noticed something strange, and they quickly called for the crew.
The eight passengers who had been in the carriage were all unconscious and lying down together.
One of them is a journalist named Liang Xia (Han Qiuchi), who has been in contact with him at work in the past.
Just as Lao He woke everyone up one by one, he found that one of the middle-aged men had turned into a corpse.
There were no obvious traumas on the deceased's body, but for the time being, it cannot be ruled out that he was suspected of killing.
At this time, Liang Xia took the initiative to stand up and tell Lao He that there were unclean things on the car, and also claimed that there would be people who would die later.
As one of the eight people who have been in the carriage of the incident, Liang Xia introduced the basic situation of everyone in the carriage to Lao He, and he already had a preliminary speculation about the incident.
According to Mr. Liang, he took the train because he received an anonymous phone call.
The person on the phone told him he had important clues about a case a decade earlier.
It was an accidental death caused by violence on campus.
The victim, Xu Yuanyuan, who was studying at the Third Middle School, was severely injured and sent to the hospital after being beaten by a classmate once, but died of anesthesia allergy during surgery.
At that time, Liang Xia had participated in the reporting of this case, but it was frequently blocked, and the investigation and interview was extremely difficult.
This time, after many years, there were new clues, and Liang Xia naturally would not let go of this opportunity.
But when he got in the car, he realized that things didn't seem to be simple.
The deceased in the carriage opened a commissary in the third middle school ten years ago, and everyone called him Old Zhao (Jing Minqiang).
The remaining six people are also related to the Xu Yuanyuan incident.
Zhou Xinxue (Zhu Yanmanzi), a migrant sister, is Xu Yuanyuan's best friend in the three.
Retired teacher Wu Jian (Li Xinmin), when Xu Yuanyuan had an accident, was the director of the third middle school.
When Liang Xia first reported on this incident, most of the resistance he encountered came from this old gentleman.
Liu Xizhi (Yin Hang), a medical representative, is a forensic doctor who performed an autopsy for Xu Yuanyuan ten years ago.
Liang Xia pointed out in a report that year that she accepted bribes to revise the autopsy report, causing her to lose her job as a forensic doctor.
Nurse Qiu Hong (Honghua), who once worked as a school medical assistant in the Third Middle School, was the one who sent Xu Yuanyuan to the hospital.
Wang Chao (Liu Peng), the owner of the online shop, is the campus bully who took the lead in beating Xu Yuanyuan.
Han Jiabin (He Suo), a graduate student in the Crime Department, was a small gangster around Wang Chao ten years ago, and he also participated in the bullying of Xu Yuanyuan in school.
Curiously, these people didn't seem to know each other after getting in the car.
In particular, the three young people, it is reasonable to say that as classmates, such a major thing has happened, they should be very impressed with each other.
Since there were not many passengers in the car, the eight people quickly sat together and began to talk.
In order to investigate the truth of Xu Yuanyuan's death, Liang Xia has been intentionally or unintentionally introducing the topic to ten years ago.
Here Lao He Zheng and Liang Xia understood the situation, and on the other side, Wang Chao, the owner of the online shop, suddenly hallucinated and screamed.
After the mood calmed down, Wang Chao told everyone that he saw Xu Yuanyuan chasing him and beating him, and wherever he hit Xu Yuanyuan, Xu Yuanyuan beat him.
When he said this, everyone came forward to admit that they had also seen Xu Yuanyuan.
Of all the people, only the graduate student Han Jiabin did not hallucinate.
Because this carriage is still at the scene of the murder, Lao He needs to search for evidence, so he splits the others apart.
However, Han Jiabin introduced himself at this time, saying that he was a professional counterpart and could help Lao He.
There was only one police officer on the whole train, Lao He, and there was not enough manpower, so Lao He accepted Han Jiabin's kindness, but only agreed to let him help make records.
The two searched for evidence while chatting about the murder.
From Han Jiabin, Lao He learned that his ticket was also booked with the help of others.
Someone called him in the name of the teacher of the Academic Affairs Office and said that there was something wrong with his file and that he needed to deal with it.
The deceased Old Zhao was originally going to the provincial city to see the goods, and it was also a car ordered for him by others.
Wu Jian, the director of teaching, was invited by former students to hang out.
Wang Chao will take this train every week on this day.
Zhou Xinxue's ticket was not bought by herself.
As for Qiu Hong and Liu Xizhi, in their backpacks, Lao He found an invitation letter for the activities of the pharmaceutical industry.
In the murder of the secret room on the train, everyone is invited to come, and the protagonist is convinced that there will be more deaths after that.
Seeing this, I believe you will definitely feel that this movie is played in "Murder on the Orient Express" and "No One Survives".
However, as the investigation deepened, Liu Xizhi admitted that the content he deleted in the autopsy report that year pointed to sexual assault.
Xu experienced violent sexual acts within 24 hours of her death.
Wang Chao watched Lao He get closer to Han Jiabin and began to accuse Han Jiabin of pushing everything onto himself.
And told Lao He that Han Jiabin had different feelings for Xu Yuanyuan.
In the face of Lao He's cross-examination, Han Jiabin also had to admit that he had used his hands and feet on this girl ten years ago before beating Xu Yuanyuan.
But he said he had such evil thoughts because he witnessed what the commissary owner Lao Zhao did to her.
In Lao Zhao's mobile phone, Lao He also saw a lot of text messages, which frequently mentioned numbers, and all the numbers were in the range of 8-12.
Old Zhao went to the provincial city to see the so-called goods, and his "goods" were a little girl between the ages of 8 and 12.
Before hurting Xu Yuanyuan, he also sexually abused her good friend Zhou Xinxue for a long time.
Such a tragic experience made Zhou Xinxue mix with society after graduating from school and was also addicted to drugs.
Later, in the drug rehabilitation center, she met the nurse "Qiu Hong".
In fact, the nurse on the train was not the school medical assistant of the third middle school at all.
Her real identity is Xu Yuanyuan's mother.
In fact, judging from the relationship between the characters and the story that happened to each character, this movie could have produced quite good results, and there were several plot reversals.
But I don't know if it is for the sake of review, the director added a lot of preaching elements to it.
Let this trilogy seem suspenseful and preachy.
Especially at the end of the third film, Lao He said
"On this train, I have no right to judge indifference, I just hope that you will never forget Xu Yuanyuan"
This line is really quite dramatic.
The director wanted to use the bottle of "Melting Pot" wine from "Murder on the Orient Express", and as a result, "Sin Road" was made into a four-unlike, which became a failed attempt.
Do you have any wonderful domestic suspense film recommendations?
