In 2014, a crime suspense movie starring Liao Fan, Gui Lunmeng and Wang Xuebing was released, but after its release, it was controversial, some people think it is a rare good film, some people think it is a bad film cloaked in suspense, and some people even think that it does not deserve the Golden Bear Award!
Although there are many loopholes in this movie, I think this film will not be as simple as it seems! I believe that to this day, there are still many people who fall into the scam created by the director, but if you analyze it carefully, you will find that the director has played a big game of chess with the audience!
How strong is the film? Today we will talk about this movie, "Daytime Fireworks"!
The plot mainly revolves around a corpse splitting case discovered in 1999, when the criminal police captain in charge of the case was Zhang Zili (Liao Fan) and his subordinate was Xiao Wang (Yu Haolei).
The name of the deceased investigated was Liang Zhijun (Wang Xuebing),
The relevant personnel are: Liang Zhijun's wife, laundry employee Wu Zhizhen (gui lunmeng),
The owner of the laundry (Wang Jingchun).
The whole movie revolves around these people, and it's actually very simple to understand it, you only need to figure out one thing, who is the murderer?
There are three story lines about the murderer in total!
The first is the conclusion reached through the route of the coal truck.
Each coal truck has a fixed route, and if the body fragments are transported to all parts of the province, either a collective crime or the route of the coal truck is abnormal.
Through the investigation, it was found that there was a problem with the route of the coal truck of two people, and they had been to all the places where the bodies were found, so the two people were identified as the murderers.
During the arrest, the murderer opened fire, sacrificed two policemen, Zhang Team was injured, and the murderer was killed on the spot.
The case ended like this.
The second is that it happened five years later, Liang Zhijun was "resurrected"!
At this time, the Zhang team became a security guard, Xiao Wang became the captain of the criminal police, responsible for investigating two other murders, the deceased were all workers who left their jobs to go to the sea to do business, they all wore skates before they died, and most importantly, the deceased had contacts with Wu Zhizhen.
Through this clue, Zhang Zili personally went out on the horse, using feelings as an inducement, and finally let Wu Zhizhen confess.
This is Wu Zhizhen's first confession, she said, Liang Zhijun killed people in the first robbery, and later did not know how to come up with a substitute method, became a "living dead", has been monitoring her life, killed the pursuit of her she also liked the people, she wanted to escape, but could not escape.
Here Liang Zhijun is the murderer, and the police also launched an arrest of Liang Zhijun based on this clue.
With the cooperation of Wu Zhizhen, Liang Zhijun was finally killed on the street.
Third, after Liang Zhijun died, Zhang Zili betrayed Wu Zhizhen!
There is an important story line provided by the boss: when the laundromat first opened in 1999, Wu Zhizhen washed a piece of leather, and the other party opened his mouth to ask for 28,000, and the result was two days, and the other party never came again.
Wu Zhizhen finally confessed: At the beginning, she could not afford to lose money, so she opened a room with the other party, and the result was that she had to do it twice, and later when she let the other party come to the house to get the money, the other party wanted to rape her, and took a kitchen knife and killed him when she resisted! Liang Zhijun disposed of the body after learning about it, and volunteered to be a "living dead" to accompany her, and it was she who betrayed Liang Zhijun.
At this point, the matter got the final ending, and the case was solved with Wu Zhizhen as the murderer.
This is the three murderer story lines told in the movie, many viewers will follow the director when they watch it, and finally determine that Wu Zhizhen is the real murderer.
If so, then you've been deceived by the director!
Who is the real murderer? Liang Zhijun!
Thinking about this, if we push the whole movie backwards, we will find that many of the previously seemingly unreasonable places have become reasonable.
The information provided by Liang Zhijun's co-workers is the most trustworthy, eight years of weighing, no friends, and no love to talk to others. This is the performance of an honest person, and it is also the performance of a person deliberately hiding himself!
Who can put the corpse on the coal truck like a scattered flower without being found? There are only overweights, that is, Liang Zhijun!
But in the first clue, the two brothers' coal trucks appeared in various places, which seemed very unreasonable, although the two brothers had guns at the time of arrest, not a good person, but why help Liang Zhijun destroy the body?
There is only one reason, the three of them conspired to commit the crime!
Wu Zhizhen said in the first confession that it was the first time Liang Zhijun robbed and killed people by mistake. This sentence can be extended to a variety of results, and it is this sentence that makes this film full of infinite possibilities!
Liang Zhijun had known the two brothers before, and the three of them had committed crimes together very early, and the weigher was just a self-concealed identity of Liang Zhijun.
Here, through two shots, it can be concluded that the open shot, the two brothers carry guns with them, shooting and killing the police at a critical moment, shows that these two are gangsters, and it is definitely not the first time to do such a thing.
The second shot is relatively hidden, that is, at the scene of the first crime, the security guard said: I have never seen such a body thrown, like a goddess scattering flowers, thrown everywhere in the province, many factories heard that there were dead people under the coal pile, and they were too scared to start work.
When the workers found the body, they called the police at the first time, and Zhang Zili also arrived at the scene at the first time, so how did the security guard know that the whole province had thrown it? It shows that this has happened not once or twice.
If it can spread among the workers, and reach the point where panic does not dare to start work, it means that this kind of thing has reached a very serious point, and this scene is only one of them!
From these few words, we can conclude that Liang Zhijun is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface, or even like Wu Zhizhen said, it is the first time to rob and kill people, he is a habitual criminal!
The identity of the deceased was eventually found out, and it was the owner of Pi Ji and the owner of the "Daytime Fireworks" nightclub! Liang Zhijun is likely to rob him and then kill him, for the simple reason, to make money and vent his anger!
Here we must clarify what the relationship between Wu Zhizhen and the deceased is.
When Wu Zhizhen got the ashes of the deceased, he was buried under a tree in front of the laundromat. Wu Zhizhen thought that Zhang Zili did not know this, but he did not know that Zhang Zili happened to see all this in the car at that time. It is precisely because of this that Zhang Zili betrayed Wu Zhizhen later.
Later, when the police questioned the ashes of the deceased five years ago, Wu Zhizhen said that it had been sprinkled in the river, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to look at!
This inconsistency is very unreasonable.
If the deceased really raped her and she killed her by mistake, it would have been to throw the ashes into the river and never want to see it again, rather than carefully buried under her own eyes.
This kind of burial is more like nostalgia, more like guardianship!
From this point, it can be seen that the relationship between the two is not unusual!
Another point is the scene of Wu Zhizhen crying in the movie, and you will find that every cry is related to the mention of the deceased! But when Liang Zhijun died and the police handed her ashes, she acted very calm, in stark contrast to the crying outside the house!
From the side, it was reflected that the previous cries were not because of Liang Zhijun, but because of the deceased!
The relationship between the two can also be analyzed from the words of the deceased's wife, who has always thought that the deceased was Hidden by Jinya, and saw Wu Zhizhen come to the nightclub to find the deceased, saying that even if he couldn't see it, he could smell it, which was a manifestation of hatred, and it also implied that Wu Zhizhen's relationship with the deceased was unusual!
At this point, we can start to pinch the relationship between the two, when Wu Zhizhen washed the skin, the deceased used this as an excuse to start pursuing Wu Zhizhen, one after another, the two developed into a lover's relationship, maybe Wu Zhizhen also liked each other.
Later, this matter was discovered by Liang Zhijun, who joined two brothers to rob and kill, and finally split the body!
The relationship between Wu Zhizhen and Liang Zhijun is a bit difficult to say, the two are husband and wife, it is true, but from the meeting between the two, it can be seen that the two people have no feelings.
Wu Zhizhen's attitude was very cold, and Liang Zhijun was a little hesitant to touch her, like two familiar strangers.
But there is one thing Liang Zhijun did is still quite good, that is, when the police are pursuing, he knows that Wu Zhizhen betrayed himself, but when he passed by her, his head was not tilted, and Wu Zhizhen's suspicion was minimized!
Is Wu Zhizhen not wrong at all? Of course not, not to mention the concealment of the murderer, the next two cases are definitely related to her. In the back two cases were the dead wearing skates.
There is a scene in the movie where Zhang Zili approaches Wu Zhizhen, and when Wu Zhizhen is at the station, he has a smile on his face and says don't follow me anymore. But when Zhang Zili asked her to skate, Wu Zhizhen's face immediately became cold, and she was silent for a while before she made up her mind to say yes.
At this time, Wu Zhizhen already knew that Zhang Zili was close to her purpose, and she said well, in fact, she wanted to kill Zhang Zili.
This is also why Wu Zhizhen's cold expression at the skating rink has not said a word, and finally he took Zhang Zili to the dark place, because this road is the route for Liang Zhijun to escape, and it is also the route that the two of them agreed to kill before!
The two previous dead people were wearing skates, and it was likely that this route was taken by Wu Zhizhen, and Liang Zhijun was hidden in the shadows!
Wu Zhizhen said that Liang Zhijun killed the people who pursued her and she also liked, not the two dead in the back, but the nightclub owner! The identities of the two deceased in the back are from the workers to the businessman, it is likely to covet Wu Zhizhen's beauty, which is targeted by Liang Zhijun, so that Wu Zhizhen is lured, Liang Zhijun robbed and killed, otherwise how did he live over the years?
Liang Zhijun's gun is a very key clue! If our analysis is wrong, how did an honest man get a gun? Could it be that just one split has completely changed? Do you have the ability to do that? It can only show that Liang Zhijun's previous identity is not simple!
Why did Wu Zhizhen finally admit that he killed himself? It's because of the dead heart!
After Liang Zhijun was killed, Wu Zhizhen's mentality changed, and she began to wear bright-colored clothes, began to dress up, and put on lipstick, indicating that she was relieved and probably accepted Zhang Zili.
Pay attention to the timing of her confession, even if the police find the ashes, Wu Zhizhen still did not speak, until she saw the leather, she painfully admitted that she killed herself.
And this leather was just taken away by Zhang Zili under her eyes.
At this time, Wu Zhizhen understood everything, and all her hopes were shattered by Zhang Zili! This is why I made up my own killing.
At that time, there was no evidence, physical evidence, and even the scene could not be found, and the police could not determine that Wu Zhizhen had killed someone, as long as Wu Zhizhen did not admit it, it was impossible to determine that it was the person she killed. But Wu Zhizhen still said it, and when identifying the scene, he also pointed at it casually, which shows that Wu Zhizhen is not the real murderer, but does not want to live.
"Daytime Fireworks" refers to both the name of the nightclub inside and the life of the characters in the film. Why did nightclubs have this key name? Explain that the line of nightclubs is the most important line, which directly determines everything about Wu Zhizhen!
At the same time, daytime fireworks also represent false beauty, the meaning of vanishing. Zhang Zili finally set off a daytime fireworks for Wu Zhizhen on the rooftop, can you see any fireworks? You can't see anything, you can only deceive yourself, and even in the end, you will disappear without leaving a trace!
This is just like Zhang Zili's last dance, the case that changed his life in 1999 was finally solved, and he completely gave up his life!
Did Zhang Zili ever love Wu Zhizhen? I think there is no, even if you end up with a firework for her, it doesn't mean love! Zhang Zili, from beginning to end, is a selfish person, a person who only wants to achieve his own goals!
Today we only know who the real murderer is, there are still many details in the movie, you can explore for yourself, if anyone still wants to see, the comment area tells me, I will publish another article specifically to analyze the small details.
