Many people may not have seen it yet, but this film has already appeared in the shortlist of major awards ceremonies, so it can be seen that the quality of the film should be quite good.
This film not only has many people's dream goddess Li Lizhen and Wu Zhenyu, whose acting skills are engraved in his bones, but also even the supporting roles are powerful actors such as Xie Junhao, so this is a film with guaranteed actor quality.
So there is no problem with the actors, what about the plot?
It's not important, but this unimportant is not literally unimportant, because if you look at the role positioning of the characters in the film, you will understand that the plot cannot be bad, and it should be a very socially meaningful movie.
The protagonists in "Turbid Water Drift" can be summarized by a simple label, that is, they are all marginal figures in society.
There are stowaways, addicts, x-workers, homeless people, rough sleepers...
The film is based on a real social story, which was in 2012 when a clean-up incident specifically targeted homeless people occurred in Hong Kong - more than 40 homeless people in Sham Shui Po and their belongings were all cleaned up as garbage during this clean-up operation.
At that time, this incident also caused a lot of discussion in society, and there were various voices about whether law enforcement was appropriate and whether these marginal figures should be cared for.
The male protagonist in the film, Hui Ge, played by Wu Zhenyu, appeared on the scene, and the feeling of decadence came to him.
Hui Ge has just been "released", released from prison, lost his child, and the family is gone, and his only asset is a photo.
Reintegration into society, with nothing, is harder than being in prison.
But since he came out, Hui Ge still had to throw himself into this society, but he had no long belongings, was homeless, did not accept his relatives and friends, and sleeping and wandering became his only way, and he also became a "social garbage" in the eyes of others, a rotten boy.
So what role does Li Lizhen play? Sell it off.
Hui Ge was only one of these people, and there were many people like him, although these people were not decent, but they did not steal or rob, and they were originally at peace, and later because of the aforementioned clean-up incident, public opinion pushed them to the cusp of the storm.
The media clings to the events, treats them as pawns, pressures the government, wins attention, and harvests traffic. And all they want is to get justice.
Through this incident, the film pays attention to the lives of people on the fringes of society, who usually lie flat, resign themselves to it, and seem to have no desire for life, but this time, they begin to resist and want compensation.
Soon, things were fermenting, and under the pressure of public opinion, FEHD compensated these people who had been cleared of their belongings.
In the end, those people all accepted compensation, but Hui Ge did not do it, he did not want compensation, he wanted an explanation, that is, to apologize to him.
Wu Zhenyu often plays those gang bosses, the most famous line is "mistakes must be recognized, fight must be determined", this also appeared in the film, but this time he is a vulnerable group, but does not mean that others can bully him casually, he thinks he is not wrong, he has been treated unfairly, and he needs to apologize.
Because he did not accept compensation but wanted an explanation, he became a thorn in the side of those who were originally in the same trenches as him, they only needed to compensate, it didn't matter what apologies, and the unsociable Hui Ge was kicked out by them.
The story begins here, a group of people's struggle becomes a fight of Hui Ge alone, the director uses this to present the audience with a beautiful society, and those unbearable facts, like a sharp blade, separating the gorgeous social appearance and revealing something inside.
But is Huigo only fighting against the FEHD, which is responsible for urban hygiene? Obviously not, he is also confronted with the strange eyes of people on these fringe people in society.
Not many people have seen this movie, but it should not be ignored, and the wonderful performances of several actors are also worth being seen by more people, especially Li Lizhen, who has been absent for a long time! So what role does Li Lizhen play? I won't tell you, haha...
