Come up and export emotions first! Let's just say it, it's a rare piece of nonsense!
Teacher Chen Zhengdao used the cast of all golden horses, constructed a super rich psychological story, filmed a super complex architectural space, and then gave a plate of appetizers that nibbled and swallowed needles.
Some people say that it was banned for 3 years before it was released, so this film was only rotten; some people said that this film was filmed earlier than "Parasite", "Thief Family" and "Soul Hunting", so Teacher Chen Zhengdao sacrificed himself and became the winner of the Palme d'Or in previous years.
But for me and other melon-eating masses, the horror is insufficient, the story is not established, it took half a day to do the bureau, lay the emotion, a dialogue explanation to explain the cause and effect, in any case, it can not be considered a success!
The following spoiler warning.
Because you don't watch spoilers, you may exit the show at 40 minutes. But after watching spoilers, you may think that Aaron Kwok is arrogant, Duan Yihong is stupid*, Xu Weining is contrived, Zhang Zifeng is depressed in the next hour.....
First of all, let's talk about the beginning, that is, a quiet year, the present world is stable.
The family of four sat at a large 2.4-meter six-person table, the father was highly respected, the mother was gentle and virtuous, and the sister was well-behaved and quiet.
The younger brother is sensible and quiet, and everything is very beautiful, except for a middle-aged man with a vicissitudes of face and a beard.
Needless to say, this is the visitor, the secret visitor yu Sleepy Tree!
The posters are all very parasite-like!
But how did Yu Qiao come to this family? The timeline cuts to a car accident 3 years ago, when the school bus driver of the aristocratic school was driving the school bus on the winding mountain road, the younger brother left the seat at the request of his classmates, gave the driver 100 yuan, had to be the driver to tie his shoelaces, the driver ignored him, he began to grab the driver's steering wheel, the driver could only stop.
After stopping the car, after the driver killed the child, he sympathized with him and was forced by his classmates, or tied his shoelaces, but the driver was still very uncomfortable, so he looked down and lit a cigarette.
At the moment of lighting the cigarette, another van crashed over and knocked the bus off the cliff, leaving the younger brother the only survivor.
At the beginning of the introduction of this cliff fall plot, the director used a lot of close-ups and close-ups, so that you actually can't understand how the car fell off the cliff, who are the children who rolled down the cliff, who was rescued, and who was saved by the driver? What was the aftermath of the accident?
After a quick cut of the camera, the driver fainted in the hospital, and the camera suddenly became, Dad hid the driver in the basement of his house.
Here, as a confused audience, I have all kinds of speculations in my mind.
Speculation one: Dad thinks that the driver saved his son Zhu Chaoyang, so he wants to save the driver's life, so why did he let the driver in the hospital, obviously the driver still has blood on his head, why not bandage him, but let him lie in the basement of his home?
Speculation two: Dad wants to take revenge on the driver privately, because he hurt his son Zhu Chaoyang, although he survived, but his legs were crippled for life. However, the driver ate with his family and did not imprison him, and the driver also thanked his father for treating him as a family member.
Let's move on.
Then there were other parents of classmates who came to the door and asked their father to join them and find the driver, even if they could not tell him, they would have to kill him in private, after all, they were rich and powerful people.
For a long time to come, it was a long preparation around the relationship between the family characters and the stories that happened to the characters. The narrative style is mainly based on burying a lot of suspense points, and resolutely not telling you a good story.
For example, paving the way for the strange atmosphere and strange things in this house, when the family eats, the virtuous mother coldly refuses the dishes that her father has clipped for her.
My sister always tried to seduce the driver, either wearing pajamas, touching the basement to find the driver to learn to draw, or playing cute with the driver.
The younger brother, with the same gloomy eyes in "The Hidden Corner", treats everyone except Dad.
The visitor driver cowered and hid in the Wang family, unwilling to turn himself in or walk into the sun.
When choosing the movie, I didn't take into account that the suspense movie is not suitable for family viewing, the unclear character relationship, the large paragraph of blank lines, the expression of wanting to say Hugh, let my mother watch the doubts, keep asking what's going on, but also let me lay the groundwork for the hour-long plot, and the constant pre-plot to lose patience.
When I scratched my ears and scratched my cheeks, hating not being able to press the fast forward double speed, or searching for a plot analysis, my sister finally stabbed my father!
The highlight moment of the whole film! This knife is well pierced! If I don't stab it again, I'm going to stab the director!
Why did the sister give her father a knife, not to hurt her father, this is a kind of redemption, to redeem these hard-working family members and - in front of the screen by the director of the whole gritted teeth of the melon audience!
In the last 20 minutes, the director suddenly uses a particularly direct and hasty flashback and a rough method of narration to directly explain what the whole story is like.
This is a high-end revenge game that the rich have deliberately (and unnecessarily) designed.
A long time ago, Aaron Kwok's father had a same-sex lover roy, but the second generation of the rich, the family must not agree with him to be happy to be a gay man, so they cut off his livelihood and forced him to marry and have children. Aaron Kwok's father, in order to continue to be a rich second generation betrayed his lover Roy, but roy suffered betrayal and died. Aaron Kwok's father was sad and decided to trick a female friend into getting married and giving birth to a roy child by birth. This same wife Xiaoxue is a single mother who has always had a crush on him. After the same wife gave birth to the child, guess what, hey! Children born are gray-eyed!
The sperm that enters his abdomen is not the man who has loved him for so many years, a dead foreigner, or the sperm of his love enemy. This is taking one's own pregnancy!
Xiao Xue's mentality collapsed, and he also died, even the girl he had brought with him didn't care! It is said that the woman who loves the brain is really incomprehensible!
After Aaron Kwok's father got a little roy, he was particularly pampered, raised the baby lawlessly, bullied his classmates at school all day, and instigated his classmates to bully the driver, which directly led to the above car accident!
Aaron Kwok's father is very angry, very sad, you are guilty of stopping the car! Parking and smoking, even more guilty! Saving people does not save us little roy, only saves Zhu Chaoyang's sin and adds sin!
Therefore, Aaron Kwok's father and other parents together sued the school and the driver. However, justice still exists in the world, and he did not succeed!
Aaron Kwok's father then decided to punish the most heinous driver and others he felt guilty.
The driver was the culprit, so he took the driver, who had been in a coma for a year, home and imprisoned him.
Zhu Chaoyang, the little boy who survived the class, indirectly caused the death of Little Roy, so he adopted him and took him home as an adopted son and let him play the fake Wang Chuqi!
The little girl LuLu helped the school bus driver, so that the school bus driver was not fired, and then the disaster occurred, so she brought back the single mother who lost the road and let her play the mother.
Coupled with Aaron Kwok's father's ex-wife's original stepdaughter, he pieced together a family and played a big game of chess, just in order to let the driver hide in their house in fear, be condemned by conscience, and live better than die, just to trap these people who caused him to lose his little roy.
As a result, things developed very strangely, first of all, the driver, the driver lived very happily in this home, he was very happy to live in the basement, there was food and drink, and also taught the little sister to learn to draw, who was not willing to go out, nor did he want to turn himself in.
The younger brother, because he was abandoned by his own father, was very dependent on this new father who had cured his leg, and only wanted to be a good son of the new father.
The widow's single mother plays Xiaoxue, taking care of her sister and brother's food, clothing, and housing. But she actually has a sense of justice in her heart, in this game of disguised captivity of the driver, she is very swaying, on the one hand, she hates the driver and causes her to lose her daughter, on the other hand, she sympathizes with the driver's suffering, hoping to force the driver to turn himself in, as long as the driver turns himself in, he can know the truth, and he can not be imprisoned like this.
The sister, who is the only person in the whole film who has nothing to do with the car accident, is very sympathetic to the driver, repeatedly hinting to the driver, you go out!
The bug is in the driver, he likes this home, even if he guesses that he is not guilty, he does not want to go out!
Sister stabbed daddy, let the police break this bureau, and the depressed family announced dissolution!
He was still very dependent on this family, unwilling to sue Aaron Kwok's father, and went back to this strange door to knock on the door.
Then at the end of the film, the sisters and brothers also reconciled, went home together to be a good baby, and went to school together.
The most exaggerated thing is that the fake mother, who did not go with her lover, continued to come back to be a fake mother, ready to give birth to the third child in this family!
This film should not be called "Secret Visitor", this film should be called "The Incomprehensible Home".
Although the definition is a brain-burning suspense film, but a large fragmented narrative, the whole dull performance, want to create a horror scene, but there is no scary plot, the character motivation can not withstand scrutiny, it is difficult for ordinary audiences like me to get a smooth viewing experience.
