On May 1, the thriller suspense film "Secret Visitor" was released in theaters! The film's reputation is polarized, the Douban score is 6.0, and 42% of netizens have a three-star rating.
"Secret Visitor" is starred by Aaron Kwok, Duan Yihong, Zhang Zifeng, Xu Weining, Rong Ziyi leader, just looking at this starring lineup, people have an urge to enter the theater.
The superficial setting of this film is that all members are evil, and everyone has their own dark side. The plot also contains taboo topics such as homosexuality, borrowing to have children, and school bullying.
Mr. Wang met a foreign photographer Roy when he was studying abroad, and developed feelings for this foreign photographer, but this same-sex relationship did not have a good result, but he wanted to have a child, so he had to marry his ex-wife and have children through the womb. But the child in the womb is not conceived naturally, but IVF, and is Roy's child. After the child was found to have gray eyes, his ex-wife could not accept it, so he chose to commit suicide.
Unfortunately, the child died in a car accident and adopted Xiao Qi, the only boy who survived the car accident. Xiao Qi also has a bitter past behind him, with excellent grades but often suffers from school bullying, and he is more closed to himself and unwilling to associate with others.
Family education is also a topic worth exploring in this film, Mr. Wang, played by Aaron Kwok, has a strong sense of control, strives for perfection, and reorganizes the family with Xiaoxue to create a pseudo-happy family. Everyone in the family must listen to him, and every day the itinerary must be reported to him in time, and what he is not allowed to do cannot be done.
The character of Aaron Kwok gives people a gloomy and mysterious feeling from the first appearance, and with the accent of bgm, it creates an image of an evil person. In fact, the role of Mr. Wang is still very kind, he adopted Xiao Qi, and lived as Wang Chuqi, enjoying superior family conditions.
It is not unreasonable that "The Secret Visitor" is spat at for the chaotic plot, and the film wants to express too many things, like a smorgasbord. Some details are handled very well, giving the audience room to imagine, but some details are superfluous, and they do not explain clearly what the character's behavior is like to express, it is better to cut it directly.
"The Secret Visitor" begins with a car accident, extending the story behind the characters, a seemingly happy family, in fact, there is an unknown sense of oppression, every family has a difficult scripture, not everyone is born evil, and there is also a good heart hidden under the seemingly evil appearance.
As a suspense film, the plot does have shortcomings, but the acting skills of Aaron Kwok and Duan Yihong are still online, and they can grasp what the characters themselves express, and several other actors are equally powerful.
For this movie, I just want to say one thing at the end: a little depressing, be careful!
