May 1st, Uncle Meat originally had a movie with high expectations.
Chen Zhengdao directed the suspense film "Secret Visitor".
Ben walked into the theater with high expectations, and the result...
All kinds of jump scare at first, the partial story is also sparse, and the final decryption part can't hold back the curiosity of the front bunk.
5.7, pity the whole idea and the card division.
The domestic suspense overturning rate remains high, which is nothing more than one reason -
Disrespect for audience INTELLIGENCE.
Let's take a look at how Xueba does it:
Recently, there was a high-scoring suspense drama, which was amazing.
The opening score soared to 9.2 and is still stable at 8.7 points.
The original team of Spanish suspense and word-of-mouth "The Invisible Guest" returned.
This reversal, you absolutely can't guess —
The most innocent
The Innocent
Speaking of director Oreo Paul, you may not be familiar with it.
But he directed "The Invisible Guest" and "Mirage" and other suspense masterpieces, you must have heard about it.
Some people commented:
Paul single-handedly brought the Spanish suspense genre to the international level.
In particular, "The Invisible Guest", due to the clever plot, reversed up to 43 times, and is still ranked 67th in the Douban Movie TOP250 list.
This time there is also a look -
The eight episodes of the Spanish suspense drama produced by Netflix are still written by Paul.
It can be described as two major quality assurances.
The story begins with an accidental murder.
Matt was a high-caliber legal student.
At a bar party, he accidentally gets involved in a sudden fight.
The reason is simple, it is just that the other party is not used to Matt talking to the girl he likes.
The two sides were caught in a firefight, and whoever hit could not tell who was going to be, matt grabbed the person and pushed it out—
Impartially, the young man's head hit the stone, his head was crooked, and he died.
Matt killed.
The deceased's name was Danny, and he had no vendetta, and the two did not even know each other at all.
Despite an accident, although he had no intention of hurting the other person at all.
The court sentenced Matt to four years in prison.
At his last glance before going to prison, he saw the deceased's parents with anger in their eyes, as if they were going to burn him to ashes.
Little did he know at the time that this was the beginning of all his doom.
Four years later, Matt was released from prison.
He entered his brother's law firm as an assistant, and his career gradually improved.
I also met again the girl I met when I was serving my sentence two years ago, Olivia.
The two soon fell in love.
The storm of manslaughter in the original file, after several years, should it be calmed down, right?
It seems, it seems so.
Matt, who has a double harvest of career love, soon marries Olivia.
After conceiving a child, they also planned to buy a small villa.
but.
Under the seemingly calm life, there are turbulent currents hidden——
This "loving" couple, each with a ghost fetus.
Olivia received a phone call for an urgent business trip to Germany.
The day before the business trip, Matt received a text message from a woman:
Can we meet tomorrow?
In our old place, I need to see you
After dropping his wife off at the airport, he sneaked to a place.
It was The mother of Danny, the deceased of the manslaughter, who met Matte.
But the woman in front of her didn't seem to be here to seek revenge.
You taste this conversation:
-Do you want to go back to Berlin, Mom?
- Do you want to do that, son?
They also talked about "Matt" like a normal mother and son.
...... And the enemy who killed his own children, as a mother and child?
With a spooky environment, like ghostly music, the thriller effect is more than a little.
The bizarre things about Matt don't stop there.
He was being followed by a strange bald man driving.
Finding out that something was wrong, Matt just wanted to go up and find out, but the bald man slammed on the accelerator and crashed straight into him.
Matt, who was knocked out, had no power to fight back, and he also used a gun to intimidate him.
Inexplicable personal threats, normal people should think of finding the police, right?
If you look at Matt's reaction, there's obviously a big problem:
When the police tried to help him, he was unusual, claiming that he didn't remember anything.
And his wife Olivia's side is even more confusing.
On her business trip, she sent Matt a picture on her phone.
Ma Feature opened a look and was a selfie of a strange man.
Not long after, the mobile phone jingled, and the "wife" sent a small video:
The woman in the blonde wig lay on the bed wearing only her underwear, allowing the camera to look at her recklessly.
As soon as the picture turns, a man with a big belly takes a selfie naked in the mirror, as if to show off.
The person in the picture is not his wife, and the wild man who sent him a selfie???
Is the wife blatantly cheating?
Matt commissions a private investigator to help monitor Olivia's credit card, and something even stranger happens:
Olivia didn't travel at all and stayed in the area.
Without informing Matt, she took all of their savings of £50,000 and withdrew them all at once.
Seeing this, you may think that it is a story of a wife who secretly plotted to elope and was discovered by her husband?
Then you may think of the director too simply -
In an intricate web, this strangely moving couple is just one of the puzzles.
It's like a butterfly flapping its wings in the Amazon jungle.
No one knew at the time that it was secretly roaring with a tornado.
At the same time, there was a fall from the building at that end of the city:
A nun is suspected of committing suicide by jumping off a building and dying in a tragic state.
Eh? Matt was still talking about it earlier, how did he suddenly jump to another story?
The director also buried a foreshadowing here:
Five days before the nun's death, she made a six-minute call to Matt's house.
What does Matt have to do with this case?
In the case of the nun's suicide, the female police officer Ortiz was responsible.
In her death, there are also many doubts:
Emma was clean in character, and the headmaster of the monastery called her "Holy Virgin."
As a result, the forensic doctor performed an autopsy and found that something was wrong:
This woman is almost sacred in the eyes of everyone...
There are a large number of tattoos, not to mention, but also did silicone breast augmentation, chastity has long been lost.
The female police officer wants to find out her true identity through the prosthetic breast number taken out of her body.
But this normal way to solve the case has been interfered with by the above:
This case cannot be touched.
At the same time, one piece of evidence points directly to her death in another way:
The medical examiner found cotton fibers in her trachea.
The deceased was suffocated during her death, and her room happened to be missing a pillowcase.
Why did the death of the nun alarm the above?
What exactly is her true identity?
As a suspense drama, "The Best of Innocence" is eye-catching because of its exquisite narrative structure.
At first glance, each episode unfolds from the perspective of one of the people in the case, and each story seems to be unrelated.
But everyone's story is a fragment of the truth scattered.
What the audience has to do is to restore these puzzles to their original positions.
The process of puzzle solving is like solving a math problem.
It is impossible to see through the answer at a glance, and it must go through a step-by-step and tight reasoning to get a glimpse of the whole picture of the event.
Every character in the play has a secret that they try to hide.
When they tried to hold the secret tighter—
Under the tension, it is bound to expose the horse's feet.
Just like Matt's wife, Olivia.
On that non-existent business trip, she performed normally when she answered the phone, just like usual.
But a small detail revealed the forcible composure within her.
When she used to go to the bathroom, she never locked the bathroom door.
But that time, she locked up.
A small action contrary to her behavior habits made her reveal flaws.
And what exactly is Olivia trying to hide?
Her origins.
Before meeting Matt, she was a stripper who sold her body.
As the store's gold signboard, she is the "sexual tool" for the owner Aniwal to expand his network.
In order to expand its business footprint, Aniwal offers a special sexual service for the powerful:
Each person is assigned a mask, which appears anonymously in the form of a number.
The object of the play is a group of threatened underage girls.
And the identity of Olivia and others has changed from being a toy to a superior:
Responsible for supervising the poor girls and making sure their "service" satisfies the guests.
Status seems to leap to a higher level, but it has changed from victim to perpetrator.
Those innocent girls, aren't they the same people of the past?
In order to escape the control of their boss Anivar, they decided to fight back.
How?
Anivar extorted and extorted anonymously by carving videotapes of anonymous play on girls.
And the most powerful weapon that threatened him was these videotapes.
So Olivia and the others stole the videotape in exchange for a passport to leave.
But once this hot potato falls into their hands...
The Shang Fang Sword has also become a catalyst for sending people on the road.
From Olivia's lies, to the death of Sister Emma, to the involvement of the Special Crimes Group in the death of the Nun...
All are closely related to the owner behind this videotape.
Who the hell is he?
"The Best of Innocence" constantly overturns our cognition with an intensive degree of reversal.
This second, you think you guessed the murderer.
The next second, a person who seems to be more suspicious will be pushed forward.
Until the dozen seconds before the ending, it has made a blindfold for you.
Uncle Meat said that "The Best of Innocence" can be regarded as a suspense masterpiece.
But it is not entirely free of flaws.
The atmosphere of the first few episodes was too much, and in the end it seemed a bit top-heavy.
Put too much, but in the end, it is not all taken back.
So much so that from the seventh episode onwards, it showed fatigue, and also greatly reduced the strength of the reversal at the end.
Although the ending is not very elaborate.
But if you look at it from another angle.
It elevates the entire work to a black humor that is extremely ironic.
The title is "Innocence", but in the end we can find that everyone is guilty.
Especially Matt, who is in the center of the whirlpool—
From an unintentional perpetrator to an innocent victim.
However, he who seems to be the most "innocent" is the person who hides the most in the whole play.
What is the measure of human nature?
Is there an ambiguous dividing line between good and evil?
Every seemingly tiny "evil."
Together, it is also a destructive force that cannot be underestimated.
After all, the depth of human nature cannot withstand temptation.
Despite the fact that such a complex topic was discussed.
But the final landing point of "The Best of Innocence" is unusually light and pure.
The exquisite structure, the depth of human nature, just to hold out that one word:
love.
Because of love is sorrow, because of love is born of fear.
Some people bury the past at all costs.
There are also people who go crazy to retaliate and fill in the inner wounds.
Someone had ripped open the old scar just to remove the bullet that had long been sealed in flesh and blood.
Like Matt's confession at the end:
You never thought a person could be born again twice
Thanks to the forgiveness of a woman whose soul was broken by you
Thanks to the love of a woman who has experienced hell
Despite the terrible darkness of reality.
But precisely because there is a light that is enough to illuminate the depths of human nature—
The lonely night is not long.
