Abandoning the mainland market and not doing subtraction, "The Corridor of Justice" deserves a high score of 8.0?

With Weng Ziguang's golden signboard, "The Corridor of Justice" attracted much attention at the beginning of its release.

Now, resources have finally flowed out, and in contrast to reality, there has been another case of Cai Tianfeng's dismemberment and shredding in Hong Kong, which is much the same as the real case involved in "The Corridor of Justice".

This casts a layer of mystery on "The Corridor of Justice", how does Weng Ziguang's new director interpret it, and only by removing the veil can you see the real mask.

As his debut, He Juetian stuffed a lot of things into "The Corridor of Justice", disrupting the continuous flashbacks of the timeline, forming a double helix structure of a fragmented narrative.

The positive spiral set up a mystery, who killed Zhang Xianzong and Tang Wenqi? Was Tang Wenqi used or innocent? Why did Zhang Xianzong kill his biological parents?

The anti-spiral reveals the secret, saying that Tang Wenqi's low IQ, easy to trust others and be deceived, Zhang Xianzong is good at disguising lies and has no blood affection for his family.

Then the director used montage and the design of breaking the fourth wall to make the case a play of twelve angry men + Rashomon, trying to piece together how Zhang Xianzong's antisocial personality was formed.

This is the main purpose of "The Corridor of Justice", justice is in the hearts of the people, and the law is nothing more than reason.

But justice should not wander back and forth in the winding cloister of the loop, never returning to the right place, because the court is not a performance set, but a just and selfless church, and if the fundamental problem is not solved, justice will still be in the corridor.

There are three reasons for the Tai Kok Tsui massacre.

The first is the influence of the original family, Zhang Xianzong never felt the love of his parents when he was a child.

The father beat his mother at every turn, and then hit his brother and himself, and his childhood days were not happy and carefree, but fists and feet and tears.

This almost desperate and nowhere to escape dilemma trapped Zhang Xianzong's opportunity to communicate with the outside world, causing him to become more and more withdrawn, and his performative personality prevailed.

In order to get the attention of others, and for the so-called sense of existence, he will play different roles and constantly paralyze himself and escape from real life, but the huge gap between reality and dreams gradually sinks him.

Second, the three views are not yet sound and are discriminated against.

When studying in Australia, Zhang Xianzong was seen and beaten by black people once.

Being in a foreign country, he thought that he would be free without his parents, but this situation made him psychologically distorted, and he jumped from one cell to another.

The isolation of no one to appeal to and no one to rely on caused Zhang Xianzong to distrust anyone.

In his cognition, there is only himself, and everyone else is a supporting role or dragon set that he performs with him when performing, which does not cure childhood, but makes the condition worse, directly worsening the tragedy.

The third is the unbearable state of real society.

A house is an extremely important living condition for both the mainland and Hong Kong, and Hong Kong is particularly important, and caged people and coffin houses are the norm in Hong Kong.

Even Weng Ziguang, the producer of "The Corridor of Justice", who has been famous for a long time, cannot afford a relatively large house in Hong Kong.

I can only use my savings for many years to buy a nano building (a small house of more than ten square meters), no longer need to squeeze with my parents, even Weng Ziguang is compared, not to mention the ordinary person Zhang Xianzong in the film.

Even if he has a house and lives with dignity, without this sustenance, then his life is meaningless.

Since childhood, he has never had a peaceful birthday, and when he becomes an adult, he has a certain degree of self-defense and survivability, but he still has not been able to obtain dignity, legal constraints and morality have become decorations for him, and revenge follows.

However, on these real themes, the director did not go too deep, which made the core of the film lose a lot of color.

Many stage performances are filled, dense dialogue is added, and every character and every plot wants to unfold.

But the length of more than two hours cannot accommodate so many elements, but the director wants to keep them all, stuffed them all, so that the audience has no room to breathe and think, and can only follow the director's rhythm.

After reading it, I seem to see a lot of things, but I don't seem to remember anything, only a stunned feeling keeps wandering in my brain.

"The Corridor of Justice" itself is an excellent play.

The bells and whistles of the narrative are not as good as the honest order, the tricks of the tricks are not as good as the down-to-earth storytelling, and the bloated main line is not as good as the simplification.

The movie is finally Abbas, but He Jueguang did not learn Godard's simplicity, Hou Xiaoxian emphasized the deletion, which is also reluctant, that does not give up, picked up sesame seeds and lost watermelons

Although "The Corridor of Justice" does not do subtraction, compared with the general environment, "Positive" is still a masterpiece, and it does not live up to the original difficulties.

"The Corridor of Justice" is a Hong Kong strange case film, which means that if you want to take realism as the core, you must abandon the mainland market and not release it in the mainland, and the pressure to return to the book has increased sharply.

After all, even the 6.3-point "When the Wind Rises Again" can win 48.69 million box office with the blessing of Hong Kong film feelings, and "The Wandering Earth 2", "Manjiang Red" and "Black Panther 2", not to mention the better reputation of "Justice Corridor".

Therefore, investors are not very optimistic about the "money" scene of "The Corridor of Justice", and Weng Ziguang went around during the filming, exhausted his connections, and gambled on his quality of life.

He used his savings to buy nano buildings, and Li Guoxing, the owner of Meiya Entertainment, invested part of it.

The Hong Kong Film Development Foundation approved 2.5 million yuan, and two anonymous white warriors provided some funds, but there is still a shortfall of 1 million.

So, Weng Ziguang called Mr. K, who had always loved him wrongly, and Mr. K promised to assist, and said that he didn't need to thank me or mention me, and tried to make a good show for Hong Kong.

Many people speculate that Mr. K is Kwok Fucheng, who won the first golden image actor with "Finding Plum in the Snow".

However, Kwok denied in an interview that he was a film investor and would support the new director as an actor.

After Kwok Fucheng was excluded, Mr. K fell on Koo Tianle, who loved Hong Kong movies and helped realize his dreams, and Weng Ziguang responded with his own enthusiasm for investing in filmmaking, indirectly proving that Mr. K should be Koo Tianle.

In the end, the budget of "The Corridor of Justice" reached 10 million.

After its release, with the fermentation of word-of-mouth, the box office rose and broke the box office of Hong Kong restricted films one after another, and finally became the limited box office champion in Hong Kong film history with 43 million, living up to the trust.

In the list of nominees for the Hong Kong Film Awards announced this year, "The Corridor of Justice" also gained a lot.

Shortlisted for sixteen nominations, including Best Picture, Screenwriter, Director, Actor and Actress, the quality of the films competing with it is uneven, and it is no surprise that "The Corridor of Justice" should be the biggest winner.

I just hope that the next work of Weng Ziguang and He Jueguang will not repeat the mistakes of "When the Wind Rises Again", nor will it repeat the cumbersomeness of "The Corridor of Justice".
