The first time he heard about the "Lu Rongyu Massacre" was in 2013, a year after the release of Ang Lee's "The Fantasy Drifting of the Young Pi". At that time, after reading the news of the details of the case, I got goosebumps on my back and did not dissipate for a long time.
The background of this tragedy is the same as that of "The Fantasy Drift of young pi", which is in the inaccessible sea. Without the hustle and bustle of the city and the inability to receive information from the outside world in time, a group of people rode on fishing boats and drifted with the sea. In depths that law and morality cannot touch, the ugliness of human nature appears like a demon. As soon as the case broke out, it set off an uproar on the Internet, and all netizens could not believe that there was such a horrific killing incident in this era of technologically developed civilization.
Soon, rumors that some directors will adapt this matter into a movie are rampant on the Internet, until a few years ago, Weng Ziguang, the director who directed "Treading Snow and Looking for Plums", took over the shooting and named the film "Sea Festival", and the discussion of the tragedy among netizens subsided. In addition to "Sea Festival", there are actually quite a few thriller crime movies at home and abroad that are adapted from real tragedies.
Today, the film jun takes you to see how appalling the real events behind the movie are.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Horrors</h1>
I believe that anyone who has seen Hitchcock's film will be unforgettable for the scene in which the heroine is killed while bathing. Without a hint of bloodshed or violent body movements, it became the scariest clip on the screen with just a few technical shots.
Many people do not know that the male protagonist norman in the movie actually has a prototype, named Edward Gain. Although he has only killed three people, he is one of the famous serial killers in the United States.
The main reason he became a murderer was because of his highly controlling mother. His mother never allowed him to go out alone or communicate with the outside world. Therefore, he was a lonely and silent child from an early age. It was also because of his mother's strong personality that Edward had a serious mental illness.
In the film, Norman has a necrophilia, digging his dead mother out of the grave, dressing her every day, and often wandering around in her mother's clothes. This plot is a real-life one that happened, but the reality is more terrifying than the movie.
The real Edward not only has a necrophilia, he also likes to dissect corpses very pervertedly, often wandering around in the dark in a skinned "human skin coat", imagining himself as a woman. Before he was arrested, the police officers who arrested him broke into his empty home and searched and found hair, bones, human organs and human skin scattered around the house, as well as many leg bones and furniture made of human skin.
Eventually, because of his mental disorder, he was acquitted and later spent the rest of his life in a mental hospital and died naturally. But his story did not stop with his death, and both his spirit and his actions provided considerable fodder for later American thriller films. Not only "Horror", but also the famous "Silence of the Lambs" and "Texas Chainsaw Killer" are adapted from his experience.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Blind Well</h1>
"Blind Well" is Wang Baoqiang's first award-winning film, which could not be released because of the theme, but it could not erase its brilliance. The film is based on Liu Qingbang's novel Shenmu, which is based on the 1998 case of three large mining fraud and murder gangs.
The three mining tunnel fraud and murder cases are Zheng Jikuan's gang killing 110 people in two years, killing and injuring 3 people, Pan Shenbao's gang forging mining accidents to kill people, resulting in a total of 28 deaths, and Guiyin gang forging mining accident homicide fraud, committing 27 crimes and killing a total of 38 people.
Most of the perpetrators of the three mine incidents were family members, who bought and sold, accommodated intellectually handicapped people or deceived fellow villagers, acquaintances, and even relatives, took them to the mine to work and then killed them, and then faked the ore-forming disaster to demand huge compensation from the mine owner.
Although "Blind Well" came out early, similar social news is still common to this day.
Jun Once read an undercover reporter pretending to be mentally retarded at the train station and deliberately targeting it, and then being sold to work in the mine, and finally escaping to expose the social news. After reading it once, I dare not watch it a second time, because things are too real and too suffocating, and I can only say that human nature cannot withstand the test.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > Black Dahlia</h1>
Although the movie "Noir Dahlia" does not have a high score on the domestic Douban, the tragic case that really happened sounds particularly shocking.
On January 15, 1947, a beheaded corpse was found on the lawn of a park in Los Angeles. The deceased, named Elizabeth Ann Short, was a lonely and nameless actor.
Short's death was tragic, and the police judged her to be tortured to death. Because of the many binding marks and scars on her body, the right chest was cut off, the mouth was deliberately torn into the shape of a clown, and the police also found a lot of human feces in her stomach.
Judging by the wounds, she was tortured for at least 20 hours before she died. Because there were too many wounds, the police could not judge whether she was beheaded after death or when she was alive. Tortured before death, humiliated after death. It is reported that after her death, the intestines and other organs were flushed and re-inserted into the abdominal cavity, and many organs were lost in the lower abdomen, including the uterus.
The brutal case attracted much attention at the time, but her killer has not been found. Even more frightening is the last time Short was seen at the Cecil Hotel in Los Angeles, which was also the site of the death of Theronal Blue in previous years.
<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Meat Char Siu Bun"</h1>
In 1993, as soon as the release of "Eight Immortals Hotel's Human Meat Char Siu Bun", which was based on true events, many Hong Kong residents lined up to go to the hospital to wash their stomachs, and the business of all the bun shops in the following years was very sluggish. Although the matter of making human flesh into buns is doubtful, the massacre and the bun shop depicted in the movie are real and genuine, making people who have eaten the restaurant sweat.
Back 35 years ago, in August 1985, the Macau police received a report that someone had found cut off people on the beach. So the police rushed to the case and fished out ten human limbs at the same location. But because the stumps were rotten, no valid information was obtained.
A few months later, the younger brother of Zheng Lin, the owner of the Eight Immortals Hotel, reported to the police that his brother's family had not contacted them since August, and that his brother's restaurant had been taken over by huang Zhiheng, a clerk. Coupled with the beach mutilation incident last August, he suspected that his brother's family had been killed by Huang Zhiheng.
So the police launched an investigation, and all kinds of evidence pointed to Huang Zhiheng, but he would rather commit suicide than admit it. Finally, with his death, there was no follow-up to the case.
Although the case was put on hold, the news that "char siu buns are made of human flesh" did not go away. Because in the hottest month of August, no one who went to the restaurant to eat had smelled of corpses, many people suspected that Huang Zhiheng had made human flesh into char siu buns and sold them to customers.
Don't say that those customers who may eat human flesh buns, just look at similar news, the stomach of the film jun is a little unbearable.
<h1 class= "pgc-h-arrow-right" > "Sin in the American Countryside."</h1>
The prototype event of "Crime in the American Countryside", which the American media called "the most terrible crime incident in Indiana", its terrible feature is not only from the beating and insult of children by an adult in a host family, but also from the disregard and even promotion of the matter by the people around them.
If the movie is a glorification of the tragedy, then the real situation is too tragic to witness.
In 1965, the police received a call to find the female deceased, and after arriving at the scene of the crime described in the call, the police found the wounds on the body of the deceased Sylvia. The cause of Sylvia's death was eventually forensically determined to be cerebral edema, severe cranial hemorrhage, and shock due to prolonged limb injury.
Sylvia's death begins with her parents, who were workers of the carnival parade, who, because of their long absence, placed them in a host family with a single mother of seven children for the sake of the physical and mental health of their two daughters, paying $20 a month.
At first, everyone got along very well, but it got worse after one of the parents' late boarding fees that led to Sylvia being beaten. The single mother of the host family often beats her for no reason. With her mother's example, her seven children began to imitate, and even took their classmates home to beat Sylvia. The neighbors knew of the situation, but never stopped it, nor did they call the police until Slyvia was tortured to death...
This movie is particularly heart-wrenching, not only the violence in it, but also the indifference of other people.
The last single mother who beat Sylvia to death defended herself as mentally disturbed, and although convicted of first-degree murder, she was given a suspended sentence, and soon her sentence was commuted for her good performance in prison. He was released from prison and changed his name, moved to another state to start a new life, and died of lung cancer at the age of 60. Hey, good people don't live long, bad people live for a thousand years.
<h1 class = "pgc-h-arrow-right" > Night and Fog in Tin Shui Wai</h1>
Tin Shui Wai, the name of a low-rent house in Hong Kong, is one of the poorest areas in Hong Kong, and it is here that a massacre caused by domestic violence occurred.
In 2003, Hong Kong resident Li Baisen and his wife, Sichuan wife Kim Shu-ying, were reunited in an apartment in Tin Shui Wai, and the unemployed Lee Lived on welfare benefits. Because of the arrival of his wife, the government cut Lee's relief payments on the grounds that "mothers can take good care of children". The lives of families who had no source of income became more strained.
Later, because of her husband's cheating behavior, Kim Shu-young applied for another public housing in the community, but because she was not a Hong Kong resident, she was rejected. Her husband knew that Kim Sook-young was leaving and beat her, threatened her with a knife, and finally threw her out of the house.
After the social worker came to the door to coordinate, Kim So-young told the social worker that her husband threatened her with a knife, but the social worker did not care. Because Jin Shuying also beat people in order to protect herself, the social worker did not treat the case as "domestic violence", but as a "family dispute". It was this sloppy approach that led to the tragedy.
In the end, The three mothers and daughters of Kim Sook-young were hacked to death by their husbands with a knife, and after the husband mutilated himself, he called the police to say that his wife hacked his daughter to death and cut him, and was taken to the hospital and died.
Domestic violence, a single shot, will increase the probability of death. Many domestic violence victims do not have the help of the outside world, may not be able to save themselves at all, at this time the work of social workers plays a great role, if every piece of domestic violence is treated as a "family dispute", then there will be a lot of tragedies in the world.
Films adapted from real tragedies are difficult to make well, whether from the perspective of themes, censorship mechanisms, or public opinion. First, it is difficult to pass the review because of the subject matter, and the second is that the public acceptance is not high, and regardless of the quality, the opportunity to shoot it is already considered a success.
On Douban, the release time marked by the movie "Sea Festival" is this year, but so far it has not seen the publicity action. Hopefully, I'll have the chance to see the real thing on the big screen, no matter how long.
