Criminal investigation film and television dramas have always been easy to produce high-quality films, because their plots are often interlocking and extremely exciting, and "The Third Suspect", which was just released on iQiyi and Youku on March 24, is a good example. The film is directed by Yan Guoxi and Dong Haizhan, and starring actors such as Li Chengfeng, Song Ning, Yao Wu and Shi Zhaoqi.
The beginning of this movie is actually similar to most criminal investigation films: the case is here - the real estate developer Zhang Dong has disappeared. But don't worry, the highlights of "The Third Suspect" came one after another, and these highlights are also the reason why this movie has a good reputation and is worth recommending.
Highlight 1: The novel conflict design is thought-provoking
First of all, it designs the clash of positive images. Criminal investigation films are indispensable to capable policemen, and they are often based on reflecting the righteous image of the police and the brave spirit of not fearing evil forces, so some people may think that this is something to look at, and it is the same. But the image of the police created by this drama is different, mixed with more novel conflicts and more realistic contradictions.
As an apprentice, Guo Ming is a staunch technology-oriented policeman, and he believes that technology is the only means to solve crimes, while Li Hui, as a master, is an experience-oriented policeman, and he believes that the key to solving cases is to put people first. There will definitely be friction if the concept is different, but one of the highlights of this movie comes from this novel conflict setting, is experience more important or technology, technology?
Highlight 2: The multi-layered plot is fascinating
In the saturated state of the film and television drama market, a particularly exciting plot is always a trump card. Just by looking at the name of the movie "The Third Suspect", you know that this is a story of multi-person disputes, and the plot level is definitely not single. Take a closer look, and sure enough, the design of the case and the presentation of the plot are indeed constantly reversed.
Zhang Dong's disappearance, after investigation, it was found that the person was dead. Guo Ming and Li Hui first found Zhang Dong's wife Liu Yu and Liu Yu's sister Liu Xinxin to understand the situation. The case seems to have been solved somewhat smoothly, Liu Yu's cheating partners Zou Guojun and Zhang Dong have business conflicts, could it be that Zou Guojun is the murderer? Villager Niu Jinzhong is the real murderer because he has the tools and motives to commit the crime?
But in fact, the person who really kills people and the person who plans all this are not the same, love and hate, resentment and revenge, everyone is not simple, and there is a sense of déjà vu for all the evildoers. That's why this movie is rich in content, the rhythm of the plot is very good, and the viewing is very exciting.
Highlight 3: The idea of positive energy is deeply rooted in the hearts of the people
Criminal investigation films still can't get around its core idea, and similarly, "The Third Suspect" also focuses on promoting positive energy, exposing and criticizing the ugliness of human nature. Liu Xinxin's inner ugliness comes from her original family, she used the desires and evils of others to weave such a criminal network that she thought was seamless, but in the end she was defeated in the hands of two conscientious and serious criminal police apprentices.
Although it is very simple, it is still a celebration of the dedication, professional excellence, and justice intelligence of the conscientious police officers, but these virtues are indeed worth preaching, and the social significance of film and television dramas lies here, and "The Third Suspect" has such a good plot, I am not afraid that the theme is not prominent enough.
Some viewers who have already watched this movie have expressed their love, but there is no need to say much about a good movie, and you can understand it after watching it.
