"Convict Me": the black hole of human nature, the graveyard of desire

The medical black screen targeted by "Convict Me" can be described as very bold, and in such a rather gimmicky background, the director did not set up a false reality, but put the bloody reality in front of the audience, which is in line with the lingering black temperament of this film, and there is a viscous sense of oppression in the film's viewing process, which is very unique in domestic films.

Although as a debut work, the film in the narrative of Shanghai there is a slight jump out of the situation, but overall, the film is still relatively easy to understand, although in this can be glimpsed that the director here stuffed a lot of her personal expression desire, but even if there are some flaws, but this attempt is still quite commendable, and focus on the black hole of human nature, this pattern is actually very large, although the protagonist aura is on the female doctor, but the director still tried to make each character have what to show, and finally constitute a complex network of human nature And climbing on this web are people with their own plans.

Judging from the atmosphere of the film noir, the film still does a good job, unlike the brainless popcorn film or the youth film without illness moaning, "Convict Me" is aimed at the cold reality, and this reality is desperate at some level, under the appearance of suspense, layer by layer, peeling off the cocoon close to the truth of the whole case, and finally completing its noir film temperament, the viscous rainy night, the sexy and stylish woman, the mysterious man, the detective who is chasing after him... These all constitute the necessary elements of a good suspense film, and the director has done enough work at this level, which also covers up some flaws in the script.

In terms of rhythm, as a suspense film, it does not have a dazzling rapid editing scene, but uses a large number of large close-ups, under the display of these close-ups, the audience can feel the psychological state of the characters in the film, through the eyes or body language subtle touches, to complete the understanding of the motivation of the characters, of course, these close-ups are also extremely testing the actor's skills, the director is still quite "willful" in this regard, of course, there is also the talent to play like this, in short, "Convict Me" is still pursued ideologically, From the perspective of finished products, it is also a debut work with a high degree of completion, and it is also a useful exploration for domestic genre films.

The film to the end did not forget a reversal, which also let the film in the discussion of human nature again rose a grade, it can be said that the characters in the film, each is a female doctor said, living in the world of ants, but some people can play their own light and heat, and some people are swallowed by the black hole of desire, and finally evolved a variety of tragedies, in this regard, or quite emotional and sighing, it is worth mentioning that the director's polishing and portrayal of female images are very accurate, it should be "Daytime Fireworks" After that, it is rare to have a refreshing female character image.

Dai Liren, Wu Zhenyu two powerful male stars, plus Li Xinyun, who has a strong literary temperament, in terms of performance, the film is no problem, of course, Li Xinyun plays a lot in this film, there are also very delicate psychological drama displays, as an actress who has been piling up literary and art films for a long time, this movie is a release that gives her the greatest level.

At the end of "Convict Me", when the subtitles are slowly typed, you will still be immersed in that kind of human entanglement, someone struggling in the whirlpool, but never out of the labyrinth of the heart.
