The recent hot searches are all about it, and I feel that I can't do it if I don't watch it, and I rushed to the night scene after work, I thought it would be a hearty drama, but there were no elements I wanted to watch at all, no suspense, no crime, only plasma flying around, startled, I used to think that Chen Sicheng's "Manslaughter" and "Tang Detective Online Drama" were made because of Ke Wenli, but now it seems that it is not!
Large-scale plasma flying
I vaguely remember the first version of the trailer, Wang Chuanjun's hideous expression, as well as the scene of him carrying a sledgehammer, made Xiao Tao deeply impressed, the hammer by hammer, accompanied by the splash of plasma, did achieve a large scale. And that's just the tip of the iceberg in the movie, there are many more exciting and terrifying images.
For example, the hammer smashed the head, the glass pierced the face, the blade cut the throat, the nail poked the hand and the wooden stick inserted into the flesh, the director not only did the plasma fly, but also caused the audience to have physiological pain, you count a complete person, from head to toe almost used "torture", not an inch of skin can escape, it is not terrible.
Such a large-scale scale is comparable to early Hong Kong movies, and there are more than these, in addition to these pains, there are many "wonders", such as glue sticking to the mouth, real people pasting the wall, wearing thorns on the head and drinking hair water, etc., this kind of direct stimulation will indeed make the audience feel curious, after all, in the past, such a large scale has never been on the big screen of theaters.
But what is the purpose of the large scale? To make the audience angry at the abuser on campus? In order to vent his anger on his father, who has nowhere to redress? For audiences who have never been exposed to "bloody violence" on the big screen, this visual stimulation experience is indeed worth praising and boasting about, but the director should not be violent for the sake of violence, this is lazy behavior.
To give a simple example, some time ago, "Removing the Three Evils Around the World" is also a large-scale cinema movie, regardless of the bloodiness of the two of them, let's talk about the characters in it, the reason why Guilinzai kills people is because he is an underworld, and the background is there, and even if it is a murderous person like Guilinzai, there will be a psychological burden if he kills too much.
But you look at Lin Zaifu in this movie, he is a school repairman, usually silent, although he was induced to kill, but will a person really suddenly change from an ordinary person to a murderer? And it's still the kind of juvenile who smashes them everywhere with a hammer?
The big brawl of all the wicked people
In addition to the visual spectacle, the director also stuffed too many villain settings, I feel that there is no good guy in this movie, it can be summarized as all the villains, as if any bad guy can appear in this movie, the stepfather who sexually assaulted young children, the biological mother who cheated and abused her daughter, the student who bullied her classmates, and the black policeman who collected money to do things.
I feel that an ordinary child can't live at all when she appears in this movie, her stepfather is not right, her biological mother is not right, she thought she would be better when she went to school, but her classmates bullied her, what should I do? So the little girl blackened, first killed her stepfather, then used her biological mother to grow up, and finally designed her classmates to bully, and asked Lin Zaifu to knock them all to death for herself.
Finally, there was another evil smile, it seemed that she was going to join the Tang Tan universe in the next second, isn't this a copy of Sinuo? This is not school violence at all, isn't it the story of a little girl who is blackened? Not only is this family a bad person, but the neighbors are not good people, and Xu's mother played by Cai Ming obviously knows something, but she doesn't say it, and she still has fun.
Wu Wang, played by Huang Minghao, seems to really have no hope for him, he can secretly shoot for so long with a DV, let's just say, this is simply perverted behavior, right? This character always gives information randomly, the key is what he says, and the audience doesn't believe it, if you pick him out and arrange the clues of the case elsewhere, it makes sense.
What Xiao Tao can't stand the most is that the overturning scene on the highway, the car turned over and over, turned over and over, and anyone with a discerning eye could see that the car was "broken", and the people inside should not be good, but Li Han climbed out like a nobody, are we fast and furious? Can you ignore the laws of physics like Donald?
The murderer is written on his face
If the above are all "small flaws" and can be accepted, then the suspense setting that is the fundamental of the movie is the most unbearable. At the beginning, Xiaotong was bullied, and her biological mother Li Han was very distressed, and the director deliberately confused everyone, feeling that she cared about her daughter very much, and then the four classmates who bullied her daughter died one after another, and she was a poncho killer.
In the next second, Li Han appeared wearing the same poncho as the killer, and deliberately turned her head to let the audience see her face, and the director wanted to confuse everyone, feeling that she was the murderer of her classmates. But this kind of confusing means, just like there are no three hundred taels of silver here, and everyone in the audience knows that the murderer cannot be Li Han.
Immediately afterwards, Lin Zaifu appeared, three key clues, first, his daughter was bullied to death; Second, the police did not care about this matter; Third, he looks very fierce and has a murderous face; The three clues are connected in series, the murderer must be him, his daughter has been wronged, no one has given him justice, as a father, he will definitely do something.
You don't have to reason about this story, the murderer is written directly on the surface, what kind of suspense is this? Even in order to increase the sense of suspense, the director can't wait to use BGM, startled "scare you to death", accompanied by the stuck point of BGM, the bulb must be a sensor light, the color must be red, there must be a mirror, and it must be able to climb under the bed.
Rushed in all respects
We can't write a good script and polish the characters well, it is undeniable that except for Cai Ming and Huang Minghao, there are all very good actors in the movie, Wu Zhenyu, Zhang Junning, Wang Chuanjun, Jin Shijie and Wang Shengdi, these Wang Bang are very resistant to acting skills when they are taken out casually, but they "missed" in this movie.
Especially Lin Zaifu played by Wang Chuanjun, obviously he just felt the ceiling of his acting skills in "All or Nothing", why did he "drop" so quickly, his hideous expression, he only saw "acting", but there was really no "skill", let alone Wu Zhenyu, what did he play? Brother, why don't we go to variety show guidance, isn't it good to film seriously?
The only acting thing that said about the past was Wang Shengdi, but it was only because the filter added to her in the hidden corner was still there, and if it wasn't for the blessing of that filter, she might be half a pound. To be honest, I have high expectations for this movie, and I really hope that it can blow up the previous "Manslaughter" and create another classic.
Watching "Manslaughter" back then was really brain-burning and moving, time has passed, has Ke Wenli regressed?
