The 10 obscure details of "Wading through the Sea of Anger" are extremely scary when you think about it, Li Miaomiao's water is poisonous

Good guys, it's been a long time since there has been such a polarizing work in the theater.

A recent new theatrical film has opened Qingshi's eyes.

The movie "Wading Through the Sea of Anger" starring Zhou Xun and Huang Bo made the audience consciously stand in two teams.

ON THIS SIDE, MANY NETIZENS CALLED ONLINE AND GAVE PRAISE AT THE "BEST OF THE YEAR" LEVEL:

This year's domestic film is the best, "Dog Thirteen" X "Scorching Sun" = ethical nuclear bomb.

This year's most shocking Chinese film opens and closes the strange feelings, and the core is too sad.

Tear off the last fig leaf of Chinese fatherhood.

It's hard to find 5 such mainland movies every year!

But on the other hand, many netizens feel outrageous about the settings in the film, such as "the protagonist is too crazy" and "catching a flight on a typhoon day", thinking that the work can't make up a normal person:

Physiological nausea was seen for the first time in a movie theater

The narrative is a mess, a group of crazy women!

So who should believe the views of netizens on both sides?

Before we jump to conclusions, let's review the storyline.

The plot framework of the film is clear.

It tells the story of a Chinese father who crosses the sea to take revenge.

The protagonist Lao Jin (played by Huang Bo) died tragically with 17 knives in his daughter (played by Zhou Yiyi) studying in Japan, and his boyfriend Li Miaomiao (played by Zhang Youhao) is suspected of committing a major crime.

Lao Jin, who rushed to Japan after hearing the news, vowed to seize the other party and avenge his daughter.

And in this process, he was also stopped by Li Miaomiao's mother Jing Lan (played by Zhou Xun) and father Li Lie (played by Gu Feng), and the two sides fought to the death around the child...

In Qingshi's view, this is a work that needs to convince the audience to "self-substitution".

Once the character hunter is set in the audience, the viewing experience of this film will definitely not be high.

But once you can integrate into the play, you will have a 360-degree panoramic view of chasing the murderer, and you will have a lot of stamina to watch the movie...

Below, Qingshi will try to integrate the 10 hidden details of this film, and see if you can be brought into the plot and have the stamina to think carefully and be extremely afraid.

Detail 1: The bear child Li Miaomiao handed water to Lao Jin

Hidden message: This water is "poisonous".

In the film, Li Miaomiao, a bear child played by Zhang Youhao, is a very hated character.

Not only is he suspected of killing his girlfriend, but he also puts on all kinds of indifferent attitudes.

But in the early plot, this bear child has an anti-human plot.

Facing Lao Jin, the male protagonist who came to Japan to find his daughter, Li Miaomiao put away her usual arrogance, and even gave the other party a bottle of water.

On the surface, this seems to be Li Miaomiao's heartless move in the face of his girlfriend's father.

But this so-called goodwill action instead confirms the stubborn nature of the character.

In fact, he wanted to use this bottle of water to harm people

Combined with the follow-up plot, Li Miaomiao once had a habit of pretending to help, but actually playing tricks on others.

On the surface, he cooks for his roommate, but in fact he puts the other party's pet turtle into the pot to cook.

Ostensibly giving the beggar a burger, but in fact he put a glass in the food in a mischievous way.

For the homeless who has no grievances, he will still choose to assassinate,

Faced with the father of his girlfriend who is going to hunt down and kill him, how can this bear child let go?

Although Lao Jin did not drink water because he was in a hurry, it can be basically concluded that the bottle of water given by Li Miaomiao is very likely to be "poisonous".

Detail 2: Lao Jin's daughter loves to throw shoes

Hidden information: Lack of love since childhood, throwing shoes just to try love.

It is not only the bear child who has quirks in this film, but also the old Kim daughter Xiao Na, who died tragically in Japan.

Her fetishes are also unique.

In a word, it is very "shoe-expensive" to fall in love with her.

Living with each of her boyfriends, Cortana will excitedly throw away each other's shoes every time.

Once the other person picks up the shoes, she will scream frantically to express her dissatisfaction.

This extremely emotional quirk actually has a sad reason.

She has experienced the divorce of her parents since she was a child and has been neglected by her father for a long time, in fact, she has always lacked love.

During her study abroad, she not only craved love more than her peers, but also chose to go to extremes when love came.

The operation of throwing shoes every time they meet is actually an "emotional math problem" for her.

If her boyfriend acquiesces in throwing shoes, in Cortana's eyes, it means that the other party's love can tolerate her shortcomings.

At this time, she will reveal her infinite attachment to her boyfriend.

But if the other party resists, it will make her feel that she is not surrounded by love, so she will show a disappointed look.

This crazy shoe-throwing operation and polarized emotional management also reflect how much this poor girl is afraid of losing love.

Detail 3: The policeman who released Lao Jin was punished

Hidden information: The reason why he was punished was not simple.

The hidden plot in "Wading the Sea of Wrath" is not only presented through the plot, but also sometimes through the easily overlooked subtitles.

The most typical hidden information is the ending of the policeman Dai Zhen.

From the audience's main point of view, this Chinese policeman is very humane.

Although he has stopped the irrational behavior of the male protagonist Lao Jin many times, he sympathizes with the other party and is willing to release Lao Jin under the condition of "regulations permitting".

But after the subtitles were played at the end of the film, Dai Zhen was put on the ending of "being punished by the police force".

And this also leads the interpretation of Dai Zhen's character design to a new direction.

It is not difficult to see from a closer look at the character's lines that the reason for the character's punishment is basically related to the bear child's family.

There are all kinds of signs that Jing Lan, the mother of the bear child, has a lot of power.

After Lao Jin was detained, Jing Lan, who was only a citizen, proposed to "interrogate" the other party alone, but Dai Zhen acquiesced.

When Jing Lan asked for release, although Dai Zhen refused on the grounds that "there is an arrest warrant, I have no right to release people", Jing Lan's follow-up sentence "I can not approve" directly relieved the other party.

The word "criticism" also basically implies that she has a relationship with the public procuratorate and law.

Another support for this view is Dai Zhen's attitude when he went to Xiong Zi's house.

After catching the troublesome Lao Jin, the policeman did not go back immediately, but said to the rich wife Jinglan:

I went upstairs to see the old man.

The troublemaker had been apprehended, and as a police officer, he had no reason to do so.

And this also made many netizens suspect that the "old man upstairs" has a special identity.

Detail 4: The low emotional intelligence of the bear child's mother

Hidden information: deliberately provoked Lao Jin, just wanted to make him messy.

In the film, the bear child's mother played by Zhou Xun interprets what the ultimate maternal love is.

Facing Lao Jin, who was frantically chasing the murderer, she went crazy to protect her calves.

But it's worth mentioning that the character's first appearance is actually not that crazy, and it's even a bit of a "pit".

In the plot, when Jing Lan first saw the deceased's father, Lao Jin, she begged the other party to let her son go.

But the way she "pleaded" touched the other party's sore spots everywhere.

first joked, "If (the girl) hadn't died, maybe we would have been in-laws." It caused Lao Jin to look displeased.

After many sentences of low emotional intelligence speeches, her last sentence "You can't find him, people are the most angry when they are incompetent" successfully aroused Lao Jin's anger, making Lao Jin knock him out of the car.

So, is she really so low in emotional intelligence?

In fact, she probably did it on purpose.

After analyzing it earlier, the Jing family's forces have connections with the police station, and she probably did this to provoke Lao Jin and detain him through Dai Zhen.

The three-day detention period was enough for Jing Lan to apply for a visa to send the child away.

Under the scrutiny, this "she-wolf who protects her son" is indeed very powerful.

Detail 5: Lao Jin's one of the floor wiping actions

Hidden message: This father loves face more than his daughter.

In the film, Lao Jin Shihai, played by Huang Bo, frantically avenges his daughter, and his emotions are also brought to the extreme by the incident of "his daughter was killed".

But his "extreme anger" means that he loves his daughter deeply?

At least in Qingshi's opinion, this old Jin doesn't love his daughter as much as he thought.

This can be reflected in one of his mopping movements.

In the film, after Lao Jin saw his daughter's body in the morgue, he was frightened by her tragic situation and turned to his stomach.

Compared with his ex-wife's wailing and retching regardless of her image, Lao Jin's "personality baggage" is very heavy.

In addition to running out of the door and vomiting, he wiped the floor several times on the floor after vomiting, and then ran back to the morgue until he was done.

This subconscious action also exposes Lao Jin's good-looking nature.

In essence, Lao Jin's fatherly love is indeed there.

But at the moment of his daughter's tragic death, he was still "taking care of his own image" in addition to grief, and his father's love couldn't help but be discounted.

Detail 6: Lao Jin's sentence "I was ruined by him"

Hidden message: Revenge is for yourself.

In fact, Lao Jin's shortcomings are not only good face.

Combined with some remarks, he seems to care about his daughter, but he actually doesn't love her deeply.

This can be seen in a series of remarks by Lao Jin from the disappearance of his daughter to the confirmation of her death.

After the news of his daughter's disappearance came, according to common sense, as a father, he should have been very anxious, but his first emotion was annoyance.

Faced with his ex-wife who called him to Japan, he came up with a complaint:

I threw 30 boats at sea, and I came with you to this place.

At this time, he was still thinking about his fishing boat, and this kind of father was really speechless.

When his daughter's body was found, his first emotion turned to anger.

At this time, the emotions are right, but the anger is in the wrong direction...

Faced with the dissuasion of the police, he was furious and left behind, "My daughter of the golden meteorite was killed, how can I live face?" "I have lived such a daughter for half my life, and I was ruined by him." Such words.

The final foothold of each sentence is on "me", and it seems that he is more concerned about "someone dares to kill my daughter" than his daughter being killed.

The most obvious thing that shows Lao Jin's purpose of revenge is not pure, but also in the following sentence.

When talking to the Japanese police about his daughter's past, Lao Jin talked about how her daughter experienced her parents' divorce when she was a child.

As an outsider, the policeman would say "her heart must be hurt", but Lao Jin brought it with a simple sentence of "that child is solid".

In just 5 words, the harm to the child will be easily brought over, Lao Jin, the father, is not good, and even a little "scum".

And this also makes the deep fatherly love that runs through the theme of the whole film very ironic at this moment.

Detail 7: Black carp streamers and upside-down hanging corpses

Hidden Message: Symbolizes Cortana's despair of "fatherly love".

In this film, there are also some details of the imagery angle.

For example, the connection between her daughter Cortana and the black carp streamer.

While studying in Japan, Cortana once fell into deep thought in front of a black carp streamer.

In this plot, director Cao Baoping obviously used imagery to vaguely point out her thoughts on the relationship between father and daughter.

In local Japanese culture, the black carp streamer refers to the role of the father in a family, and the hanging of the carp streamer high represents the child's blessing to the father.

Refracted to Xiao Na, the black carp streamer not only has the meaning of a father, but also represents the father Lao Jin, who is a fisherman.

But judging by Cortana's reaction to seeing Carp Streamers, she seems to have despaired of her father's love.

In the follow-up scene, the camera shows a black carp streamer sunk into a water tank.

At this time, Cortana did not make any moves, but watched coldly as the flag, which symbolized her father, slowly sank.

If the metaphor of the black carp streamer is still vague, the following set of imagery expressions directly points out the disillusionment of "father's love" in Cortana's heart.

In the follow-up plot, there was such a set of dazzling pictures.

The director used imagery to shoot the dreams recorded in the diary of 12-year-old Cortana.

In the dream, she was seen meditating on a long-distance boat, and in the distance was the upside-down body of her father, Lao Jin, hanging upside down.

Obviously, after experiencing disappointment again and again, Cortana subconsciously completed the operation of "dream killing her father".

Detail 8: Lao Jin doesn't know his daughter's best friend

Hidden message: The father-daughter relationship is very "plastic".

In the film, Lao Jin's painting style of avenging the woman is very impactful.

But frankly speaking, Qingshi can't sympathize with Lao Jin.

In addition to Lao Jin being very selfish, the more important reason behind this is that his father's love itself is very "plastic".

How "plastic" is it?

The most intuitive point is that he doesn't know the people around his daughter at all.

For his best friend roommate who has been good with his daughter for many years, he can only understand through the other party's self-introduction.

He didn't know his daughter's boyfriend Li Miaomiao at all, so he could only slap his swollen face and say that he had heard his daughter's introduction.

If Lao Jin doesn't know these people, he can barely explain it with the "father-daughter generation gap",

Then, the following detail completely exposes Lao Jin's love for his daughter too fake.

Through the mouth of his daughter's boyfriend, Lao Jin learned that his daughter "likes to eat peaches, vomits when she drinks soy milk, and can't see the sea Xi".

At this time, the stunned look in his eyes was too ironic.

In fact, Cortana's Xi of not seeing the sea comes from the devil's training that Lao Jin has been training since he was a child, but Lao Jin has never realized it.

What's even more outrageous is the matter of "holding peaches".

After her daughter's boyfriend said this, Lao Jin, who didn't realize it in the early stage, began to "affectionately" hold a peach in his mouth to commemorate his daughter in the second half of the plot.

This kind of afterthought ritual sense of fatherly love, it is better to have it than not.

Just like director Cao Baoping commented, Lao Jin doesn't love his daughter so much, he just likes to be a father.

Detail 9: The bear child's prank on his sister

Hidden message: He wants to get his parents to pay attention by "doing bad things".

The portrayal of the original family in "Angry Sea" is not only Lao Jin's family.

The emergence of the sick psychology of the bear child Li Miaomiao also originated from her own family.

One of the most distinctive details is that Li Miaomiao had to abuse her sister on the way to escape.

In the plot, Li Miaomiao, who was frantically chased by Lao Jin, was hiding at home.

According to conventional logic, he should have concentrated on escaping for his life at this time.

But at this moment, he divided his energy and sent a threatening gift to his half-sister, intimidating the other party from the wheelchair.

Such a plot setting, in addition to reflecting the character's stubbornness, also exposes the character's desire for father's love and mother's love through the chain reaction generated by the character's pranks.

In the plot setting, Li Miaomiao has experienced the divorce of her parents since she was a child, and she has lived with her grandfather since she was 12 years old, and there is neither father's nor mother's love around her.

The only thing that can make divorced parents pay attention to themselves at the same time seems to be his nonsense.

From the first time she brutally fried a frog to attract the attention of her parents, Li Miaomiao began to do bad things.

Including unplugging the grandmother's ventilator, disabling the younger sister and even killing the girlfriend, in essence, it all led to the fact that the father was resentful and the mother was protective.

And after returning to China, after bullying his disabled sister again, his playful "crying and repentance" also proves that he has long been Xi to similar situations.

Just as Lao Jin's daughter Xiao Na relied on "throwing shoes" to confirm whether love existed, Li Miaomiao confirmed whether she was loved by "messing around".

In terms of personality, the hateful Li Miaomiao is also a pitiful person.

Detail 10: The wounds on Cortana's corpse

Hidden information: The so-called "violated by multiple people" may not be the truth.

The scene that ignites the audience's anger the most in this film is definitely the moment when Lao Jin learned that his daughter was violently violated by many people and recorded the video.

In the follow-up plot, Lao Jin found the violent beating of the three suspects, which really looked very relieving.

But is the truth that simple?

Many sharp-eyed netizens reversed the truth of this "humiliation case" through three details of the plot:

Lao Jin's "daughter was violated by many people" is probably not a fact.

First, there are the "confessions" of the three suspects;

After being found by Lao Jin, although the three admitted to having sex with Cortana, they insisted that the woman was voluntary.

Among them, another person said that Cortana had proposed in the process that "it can be a little more excessive." ”

Even if he was served by Lao Jin's iron fist, he still didn't change his words.

Judging from the end of the film, the director did not explain whether the three were accused of sexual assault, which also leaves a huge space for interpretation of the plot.

secondly, it is Lao Jin's attitude of beating people;

After beating the three suspects, Lao Jin returned to the car and watched the video for a while and was silent.

Looking back at the video clip, he suddenly said in confusion and pain, "Cortana, why is this?"

This question is obviously asked by the dead daughter, which also faintly implies that Lao Jin feels that the video is strange.

Third, and most crucial, is direct evidence from the police;

If there is still room for interpretation of Lao Jin's attitude and the suspect's confession, the autopsy report of the Japanese police has made the nature of the case clearer.

"Multiple assaults" are often accompanied by violence, but the autopsy report clearly states that "the deceased did not suffer any injuries other than stab wounds on his body." ”

Combined with the follow-up plot, these 17 knife wounds were clearly pierced by Xiao Na herself.

In other words, that night, Cortana left no traces of being violently coerced.

Since director Cao Baoping did not shoot "that night's plot", we can't make a conclusion about what happened.

But combined with the above details, as well as Cortana's usual sadistic relationship with her boyfriend and self-harm behaviors such as blood-stained earrings and self-suffocation with towels, the woman who despairs of love has a certain tendency to "self-destruct".

This kind of interpretation also makes the work go in the direction of careful thinking and extreme fear.

The above are the 10 details of "Wading through the Sea of Wrath".

Only by understanding these details can we judge the "merits" of the work from the depths of the core.

As for whether this "crazy over-the-top" work deserves the current score of 7.7 points, Qingshi feels that it is a matter of opinion.

But I have to say that it is a very promising work.

Every time you think about it, you will always have a new perception of what you are thinking about.

So the question is, which of the above subtle details suggests that you are most "heartbroken"?
