The dark style of the female director's perspective, the delicate emotions and the elaboration of the picture lens have become the eye-catching points of "Convict Me", but as a suspense film, although it holds the sword to expose the medical shady, it does not know where to swing it, and the pale and powerless reversal and far-fetched logical structure finally make the film just appear mediocre.
As a female director's debut, the dark tone of "Convict Me" is in line with the depressive atmosphere rendering, and from the perspective of the lens alone, the film captures the delicate emotions of the characters through the expression of the context, and the good and evil of human nature are presented from a female perspective, in fact, there is no doubt that from the beginning there is a good starting point, but on the other hand, it is also extremely easy to expose the director's own lack of skills, and the black suspense highlights the masterpiece of human nature. Without exception, there is a film giant behind it, but when a director with mediocre skills comes to express it, this will naturally be the opposite.
Although "Convict Me" uses four clues as the context of the film, but the failure of control has leaked from the beginning, the long and worthless emotions not only failed to add emotional drama to it, but weakened the atmosphere that was created through the lens, as for the rendering of suspense, it was closer to zero in the movie, which also made "Guilty" as a whole look rhythmless, the fragments of the plot were sporadic, and the collapse caused by the lack of a small success in the photographic style could not be turned around, so that the depth of human nature's good and evil was highlighted. It also becomes pale and powerless, you can't hope that the audience will talk about what to feel in a movie that is completely impossible to enter the play, and the precursor of the female perspective will eventually become dim and dull.
In fact, "Convict Me" originally has one of the best trump cards, that is, the domestic problem-ridden medical shady screen, if the film can be thought of as the revelation of the empowerment of people, then it is not impossible to save the erosion of the film's suspense, but this proposition is also a clumsy money transaction was tasted and stopped, reduced to an expressive gimmick, and the discussion about "euthanasia" is also the same, the realist film can not write the real embarrassment, in order to see that although the director Sun Liang, who first entered the screen, is a good student of the academic school, but the lack of life experience, It makes it impossible to start with such a profound proposition.
A good dark realistic film cannot be achieved overnight just by playing with the delicacy of photography, it needs to be deeply rooted in the inner conception, it needs to be convincing logic, and it needs at least fascinating suspense, rather than relying on the mysterious correction to present a so-called human sin.
