Tou Ki-feng and his galactic image definitely represent the pinnacle of Hong Kong police films.
In particular, several films directed by Du Qifeng, including "Gunfire", "Dark War", "PTU", etc., can be seen at any time to take it out and watch it, you can see the different taste.
However, to be honest, the real representative of Du Qifeng's personal film career is the highest peak, and what can really show the level of Du Qifeng's master film is the "Detective" he made in 2007.
After 14 years of watching "Divine Detective", from these details, I finally understood why Du Qifeng would be a god!
1, why should Liu Qingyun help An Zhijie?
In fact, at the beginning, When An Zhijie came to Liu Qingyun, a detective, to help.
The personality of the wife beside Liu Qingyun was one hundred against.
But why did Liu Qingyun, who was reluctant to help at first, help An Zhijie so hard later?
In fact, we must start from such a detail, that is, when she was in a convenience store, Liu Qingyun saw a teenage little sister teaching another little girl to steal.
At that time, Liu Qingyun stood up and scolded the little sister that she should not do this.
At this time, his wife, who was beside him, came out to persuade him that there was no need to do this, after all, others would only think that he was a neurotic.
At this time, Liu Qingyun said a particularly interesting sentence: "She is only a teenager, and she is still saved!" ”
Remember this detail, and then go back to An Zhijie, the police officer, asked Liu Qingyun for the first time, did he see any ghosts on his body?
At that time, Liu Qingyun did not say a word.
But later, Liu Qingyun suddenly saw a cowardly teenager appear on An Zhijie.
In fact, by linking this line, we can understand why Liu Qingyun wants to help An Zhijie, at the beginning, he saw the cowardly teenager on An Zhijie.
It is precisely because the ghost on An Zhijie's body is still very small and very saved, so this is why Liu Qingyun was obviously unwilling to help at first, but finally tried his best to save An Zhijie.
And this is also the reason why An Zhijie asked Liu Qingyun what ghost he had, and Liu Qingyun did not speak.
2, why did Liu Qingyun finally shoot and kill Lin Jiadong?
To understand this problem, in fact, we must start from whether Liu Qingyun is a real psychopath.
In the eyes of outsiders, at least in the eyes of his ex-wife, Liu Qingyun is a mental illness, a mental illness that can see ghosts in others.
But seriously, maybe psychosis was just a protective color for him.
For example, the ex-wife who had been with him all along.
Almost everyone can't see it, almost everyone feels that it doesn't exist at all.
But he just identified existence, that he was always around.
It was again to take her to dinner, and it was to take her to drag racing again.
It is also based on this that everyone thinks that Liu Qingyun is a mental illness.
But the actual situation is that Liu Qingyun himself knows that this ex-wife around him is what he imagined.
Especially in that scene where his ex-wife came to look for him, his imaginary ex-wife personality chased out of the car to quarrel with his ex-wife, Liu Qingyun suddenly came to a sentence: "Don't chase, he can't see you!" ”
Just this sentence, in fact, instantly exposed Liu Qingyun's true psychological state.
He was by no means a neurotic, all the ghosts he saw, all the things that others could not see, and what he could see.
In fact, he understands.
That is to say, in fact, he can distinguish between people in reality and personality in them.
So is such a person really a neurotic? I don't think so.
And understanding this layer, in fact, you can understand why at the end of the end, Liu Qingyun can obviously not kill Lin Jiadong, why he suddenly jumped out of a sentence: "I am also a person!" ”
Then he shot and killed Lin Jiadong.
One is of course because of lin jiadong's seven-fold personality, so that he must kill, and another reason is that in fact, he also has ghosts in his heart, and he can't be alone in this world.
Therefore, the shot that Liu Qingyun fired in the end was actually a big reversal that Du Qifeng suddenly came.
After all, Lin Jiadong was in the dense forest, suddenly evolved 7 personalities, and also put his conscience in the dense forest.
And Liu Qingyun, this detective, after recognizing the reality, under high pressure, after seeing that everyone had ghosts on their bodies, he also completely fell into madness, completely fell into madness.
That's why Liu Qingyun would shoot.
And it is precisely because of the preparation of Liu Qingyun's shooting, the next blackening of An Zhijie, the little ghost in his heart, derived the scheming woman.
It's much more reasonable.
All people have good personalities when they are at peace with each other.
But under pressure, in complex situations, in the end, like Lin Jiadong, An Zhijie, and Liu Qingyun, other personalities will be derived.
That's the best thing about this movie.
In the secular world, it is actually possible for ghosts to be derived from everyone's heart.
3. The deleted gun change process!
Seriously, the highest moment of this "Detective" should be after the deaths of Liu Qingyun and Lin Jiadong.
The only one alive is An Zhijie, who wants to tell a lie by changing guns at the scene.
After all, there were a total of four guns on the scene, each with a different owner, and each gun in whose hand had a different story.
And the process of An Zhijie changing guns every time is actually a round lie, that is, a process of deriving ghosts in his heart.
But unfortunately, in the mainland version, this most wonderful gun change process was actually deleted.
Seriously, it's a bit of a pity.
But it doesn't matter anymore.
By the time An Zhijie changed guns, the essence of this movie had been fully expressed.
After all, at the beginning, An Zhijie that Liu Qingyun looked at was a cowardly, simple little boy.
And when everyone dies, he's the only one left to write the story.
The cowardly little boy in his heart became the most scheming and scheming female ghost in Lin Jiadong's heart.
Based on this, in fact, Du Qifeng has reached his own filming intention through this movie.
Finally, I would like to say that Liu Qingyun won the film emperor with this movie is indeed a matter of course.
But what I want to praise more is the director of this film, Du Qifeng.
This movie is actually very different from Du Qifeng's previous "fatalistic" style. It can even be said that this movie is not like a Police Film by Du Qifeng at all, but more like a philosophy film, more like a human nature exploration film.
Through Liu Qingyun's eyes, Du Qifeng saw those ghosts, and through Liu Qingyun's hand, he caught those ghosts.
It is actually the evil in the hearts of each of us.
It's just that the time has not come, all of them have not come out, like Lin Jiadong and An Zhijie, it is really difficult to distinguish whether they are a good person or a bad person.
Therefore, after watching this film, I really think that Du Qifeng should be enshrined!
