Every holiday, there are always various safety reminders on the hot search.
Personal and property safety incidents occur frequently during the journey.
Some time ago, there was also a tragedy of tourists accidentally falling to their deaths while taking pictures at the scenic spot.
The movie that Uncle Yu wants to recommend today is about another situation of careful thinking and fear-
Murder on the go.
This film has a strong lineup and is adapted from Wang Shuo's novel.
Director Li Ziyu once won the Golden Rooster Award for Best Screenplay for "People, Ghosts, Love".
starring Jiang Wenli and Jia Hongsheng, both of whom have just debuted and are at the peak of their appearance.
The case in the film is bizarre and the scale is violent.
Looking at it after 33 years, it still doesn't feel outdated.
It's definitely an underrated masterpiece-
"The Mystic Couple"
As soon as the film opens, it is a beautiful journey scenery.
A newlywed couple is enjoying their honeymoon.
They took a cruise to enjoy the Three Gorges, laughing and laughing all the way, so happy.
In the evening, they found a small hotel on the spot.
I wanted to rest early to save energy for the next day.
Unexpectedly, that night, an accident happened......
In the middle of the night, there was a terrible scream in the hallway of the hotel.
The male protagonist (played by Jia Hongsheng) woke up from his sleep, he realized that it was his wife's voice, and immediately ran out of the room to see what was going on.
The wife (played by Jiang Wenli) told the truth of the matter.
It turned out that because the hotel only had public restrooms, the woman went out to the toilet at night.
When she returned, it was dark in the house, and she was so tired that she fell asleep.
By the time she realized something was wrong, she had been violated by a strange man.
She realized that she had entered the wrong room.
The husband claimed to have slept too deeply and was completely unaware.
After listening to his wife's words, he was naturally angry.
He assumed that the man in the room on the left was the rapist, as there was only one room at the end of the hallway.
angrily knocked on the door, and beat him violently without saying a word.
After that, the police arrived to find out what was going on.
They immediately took their wife and the man next door to the hospital for testing.
It turns out that the rapist is not the tenant of the room on the left.
On the contrary, the tenant in the room on the right is more suspicious.
On the night of the accident, the tenant left.
The police also found the heroine's hair on his bed.
But the strange thing is that according to the heroine's recollection, when she ran out after the accident, her husband came out of her right side.
It seemed that she could only go to the left room by mistake......
The more the police investigated, the more they felt that things were not simple.
What's more, what is puzzling is that when the police were still actively looking for clues, the husband asked the police not to continue the investigation.
The next day, the two went home without saying a word.
What's going on?
The truth makes people shudder -
The husband hired someone to rape his wife.
The purpose is divorce.
How can it be done to this point?
The root is money.
The male protagonist has a new love outside, and he is rushing to get married.
His family is not well-off, and now he is financially dependent on his wife's family, and he still needs money if he wants to remarry.
Moreover, the wife is the daughter of a well-known geology professor and inherits a large inheritance from her father.
The male protagonist wanted to put the responsibility of the divorce on his wife, and he shared a large amount of family property with peace of mind, so he designed this play.
People thought that the wife was too careless and went to the wrong door and caused the tragedy.
But in reality, she didn't go to the wrong door at all.
It was after she went out that her husband and the hired rapist changed rooms.
Fake the illusion of going to the wrong room.
After returning home from the honeymoon early, the male protagonist pretended to be angry about it.
He deliberately coldly violently violently his wife.
When eating, I couldn't call the table for a long time, and I was full of disgust when I was picked up with vegetables, and I kept a calm face all day long.
He always said that he cared too much about the incident and tried to force his wife to take the initiative to break up.
However, wishful thinking did not work well.
His wife has been putting up with him, and she has no intention of divorce at all.
She thought that after a long time, she would always forget.
Still busy with housework as usual.
It wasn't until later that she received a mysterious phone call.
Because the husband did not cheat the property, he has been in arrears with the rapist's commission.
The rapist couldn't get the money, so he retaliated and called the heroine anonymously.
"Your husband is cheating on you and wants to divorce you. 」
"Do you want to know what happened that night?"
After learning the truth, the heroine completely collapsed and fell seriously ill.
After gradually waking up, she decisively divorced.
And, a revenge was planned.
first found out the identity of the third party, and then deliberately acted to break the relationship between the two.
After that, she disguised herself as a third party and asked her husband to be in the Three Gorges.
While calling the police and telling them the name of the rapist.
When he revisited his old place with his husband, he kicked him off the cliff while he was unprepared......
If you watch this film 33 years later, you will feel that it is not only outdated, but very current.
The spectacle crime story of "hiring someone to rape his wife" and "killing a scumbag".
A plot full of reversals and suspense.
Countering violence with violence, lynching is the measure of revenge.
Today, it also has the potential to be a hit.
The character development is particularly avant-garde.
Especially the image of a vengeful evil woman who kills her husband.
In the film, after the heroine is blackened, she has changed her previous weakness.
In turn, rapists are used to help them gather information.
Calmly approach the third party and carefully lay out the traps.
is always domineering, and there is no hesitation or uneasiness.
In the film, not only is there no female competition between the heroine and the third party, but an alliance of women helping each other is formed.
When the heroine approaches her, she discovers that she is an elegant and kind dance teacher.
She was actually deceived and mistakenly thought that the other party was single.
After learning the truth, she also broke up without any nostalgia.
The heroine helped her jump out of the fire pit, and she also indirectly helped the heroine complete the revenge plan.
The male protagonist in the film can be said to be a typical "phoenix man" image.
He was originally a poor boy from the countryside.
Later, he worked in an advertising agency in the city and became a white-collar worker.
married the daughter of a well-known professor again, lived in his wife's house, and completely flew up to the branches.
After tasting the benefits, he also became more greedy.
He later cheated and insisted on divorce, not because he really empathized.
It's because the economic conditions of the cheating partner are more favorable, and there is a job performing in a theater troupe abroad.
He delusionally hoped that he could get married again, follow the other party abroad, and further achieve a class jump.
This also reminds me of Lin Shengbin's news some time ago.
After the arson case of the nanny in Hangzhou, Lin Shengbin told the media that he was flying from Guangzhou to Hangzhou at the time of the incident.
But later, director Liu Xinda made his flight record public and alluded to him lying, triggering a wife-killing conspiracy theory.
Now, Liu Xinda's conviction in the first instance for invasion of privacy, rather than defamation, has made more netizens more inclined to believe conspiracy theories.
If you think about it, many people are willing to believe in conspiracy theories, which is also related to the impression of the "Phoenix Man".
In reality, there are indeed many similar cases.
For example, the case of Hong Kong socialite Cai Tianfeng's corpse was exposed last year.
The woman once helped the man's family, but was brutally murdered by her ex-husband's family after the divorce.
There is also the 2010 Jiangsu mother-in-law murder case.
A female doctor from a wealthy family insisted on marrying a man from a poor background, but after marriage, due to different living habits, there were constant frictions, and finally her mother-in-law stabbed her several times, and her husband took away the property and married a new love.
These can be seen that the frightening evil of human nature in the film is by no means conjecture.
However, when this movie was released that year, it did not have much response, and until today, more than 1,000 people on Douban have marked it.
It is not difficult to understand the reason why the film is cold.
First, the domestic film market in the 90s was more inclined to comedy, love, and action genres.
Although Wang Shuo once called for wind and rain in the film and television industry, his adaptation of detective novels has not been smooth.
Like "Angels and Demons" and "Gone Woman", which are also crime themes, have not received a good response, and satirical comedies such as "The Stubborn Master" are more popular.
Second, femininity is not widely accepted.
Director Li Ziyu once participated in the screenwriting of "People, Ghosts, Love", which is recognized as the most feminine film in China.
In this film, she also highlights the female perspective, showing the dark side of marriage and the unfair situation of women.
But the image of the "evil girl" who killed her husband may not meet the expectations of the audience back then.
In addition, the issue of actors cannot be ignored.
When filming this film, Jiang Wenli and Jia Hongsheng were still in school, although they were beautiful, their acting skills were still jerky.
For example, in the climax scene where the heroine collapses out of control, the emotional processing is too violent, not natural and delicate enough.
I'm afraid it was hard for people to imagine their later explosion at the time.
Jiang Wenli is a movie and drama two flowers.
Two years later, in the movie "Farewell My Concubine", she played the role of Xiaodouzi's mother, and her 7-minute performance was rumored to have been written into the Beiying textbook.
starred in popular TV series one after another, including almost all domestic performance awards such as Feitian, Magnolia, and Golden Eagle, and became a national-level actor.
The movie "Lichun" starring in the later stage, and "See You in Heaven" directed and written by the screenwriter are also good word-of-mouth films.
Jia Hongsheng has also become a new hope in the film industry and a rebellious idol of an era with literary films such as "Weekend Lover" and "Suzhou River".
Looking back today, it is inevitable that people will regret it.
Especially Jia Hongsheng, who should have a promising future, took drugs, committed suicide, and died young.
Now, Jiang Wenli has also faded out of the screen.
In recent years, there have not been many works, and there has been little attention.
The last time it was hotly discussed, it was ridiculed for partnering with Ming Dao in an idol drama.
Looking back at this movie, it also has an amber meaning.
The groping of the suspense genre, the germination of female consciousness, and two rising stars.
are all left in such light and shadow.
At that time, everything seemed to be hopeful......
