The cooperation between Fang Li and Li Yu, ma Sichun + Wang Junkai's "sister-brother love", plus the bones in the "broken bridge", the buried grievances, the unknown truth... When the trailer first appeared, it was already full of anticipation.
After watching the whole film, Fang Li and Li Yu were relieved, this shot is still quite stable!
Their previous collaborations have had both successful cases like "Guanyin Mountain" and failed attempts like "Sunshine Robber".
And this time, "Broken Bridge", while maintaining its own unique style, the story is also very complete.
At the story level, it is actually not complicated: the collapse of the Zhongnan Bridge has brought the bones buried in the piers to the light of day, which has triggered a "murder" incident 8 years ago. Meng Chao, an eyewitness at that time, told the truth to xiaoyu, the daughter of the deceased, and under the pursuit of Xiaoyu and Meng Chao, the truth gradually surfaced, and while locking the murderer, it also exposed the local corruption and evil forces.
Although the story is simple, the emotional relationship between people is very complicated.
For example, although the witness Meng Chao knew the truth of the matter, he did not dare to call the police, because he himself was a murderer who had been on the run for 8 years.
There are also many emotional ties between Xiaoyu and the father-killer: Zhu Fangzheng, played by Fan Wei, is not only a "dry father" who has raised him for many years, but also has a father-killing vendetta that does not share the same heaven.
This complex character relationship increases the dramatic conflict, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in the various dilemmas faced by the characters in the play from beginning to end, and has a strong sense of substitution.
Moreover, like Xiao Yu played by Ma Sichun and Meng Chao played by Wang Junkai, these two characters have many similarities, they both have tragic experiences, they have been desperate to avenge their loved ones, and their thoughts of their loved ones support their lives in the world, so when the two people get closer and closer, comfort each other, and warm each other, it will be particularly touching; Especially in the later period, the little cute "blueberry" was added, making this "broken" family of three seem so harmonious and so precious.
Finally, I have to say that the actors of this film are really a top power, and their excellent acting skills add a lot to this movie.
For example, Fan Wei has always been a representative of kindness and kindness in the minds of the audience, in this play, he portrays a corrupt official who is loyal and honest in front of a person, and conspires and calculates after the person, especially his several times of crying, the performance is too great!
When I saw the bones of the deceased for the first time, I cried so emotionally and sincerely, but with a little guilt and did not dare to look at it directly;
Finally, when Xiaoyu gave him a birthday and begged in front of his daughter to "spare me", he cried so wronged and pitiful, but how much hypocrisy and viciousness were hidden in it.
There is also the end at the explosion scene, his sarcastic insult to Meng Chao, but also with its own comedic effect, the interpretation of a clown-style "bad guy" who is evil but desperate, fragile but hard-mouthed.
With this work, Fan Wei deserves a "best actor"!
Not only the main actor, but also some supporting roles, such as the female forensic doctor played by Huang Lu, the xiaoyu mother played by Liu Lin, the father's first love played by Wan Qian, the lover of Ju Huaiyi played by Zeng Meihuizi, and the "big brother" behind Zhu Fangzheng played by the producer Fang Li, the performances are all outstanding.
Huang Lu's performance is natural and simple, and the fluent dialect sounds very comfortable; Liu Lin played that strand of broken energy into the magic, and the sentence "elegant fart, beautiful hammer" is memorable; There is also Zeng Meihuizi, her silhouette in red in the dark night, full of charm; Producer Fang Li's acting skills are also leveraged, the whole person is very relaxed, playing this kind of "big brother" character can be said to be handy.
Although the completion of the whole film is very high, it is also very enjoyable to watch.
But there are still some minor problems:
1, Wang Junkai played by Meng Chao, some problems in age design: Wang Junkai himself is in his early 20s, in the play he should also be smaller than Xiaoyu played by Ma Sichun, Xiaoyu is a college student in the play, that is, under 22 years old, then Meng Chao is the oldest is about 21 years old, if he saw Zhu Fangzheng and others arguing at the construction site 8 years ago, then he was 13 years old at that time; That is to say, Meng Chao has already killed people at the age of 13, become a fugitive, and work in hiding at the construction site... It's not entirely impossible, but it's still a bit unbelievable.
2. When Xiaoyu got the conclusive video evidence, why didn't he call the police, but continued to stay with Meng Chao and Blueberry? That's dangerous, too! If she went to the police at the first time and let Meng Chao leave with a blueberry, I personally feel that the police may not be able to catch Meng Chao, and the final outcome is not necessarily so tragic.
Although I also understand that this is a deliberately designed dramatic conflict, this conflict is too uncomfortable!
3. Finally, this scene at the explosion scene, although quite shocking, is also somewhat unrealistic. So dangerous places, the construction party should have checked several times, how can it be allowed to let outsiders in and out at will?
A final joke:
See some netizens mentioned that this film is very similar to "Young You", careful thinking is really a bit like, are tragic teenagers' stories, are related to criminal cases, and Ma Sichun benchmarked Zhou Dongyu (the two have won the honor of film queen at the same time), Wang Junkai benchmarked Yi Qianxi (both are popular idols of TFBOYS, and the character images are sloppy and unruly), a bit interesting Ha!
