Pippi movie / A wonderful movie recommendation every day
director Cao Baoping has two nicknames.
is "the first person in the crime theme in the Mainland". From the early "Glorious Fury" to the recent "Scorching Sun", his films can directly point to the darkness of human nature. Another nickname of
is "The Incubator of Movie Kings." From Wu Gang, the "Dakang Secretary", to Liu Ye, Deng Chao, Zhang Yi in recent years, a large number of actors have reached the pinnacle of their careers under his "training." Although
has only directed 5 feature films for 13 years in the industry, almost every work has a reputation, especially the "Scorching Sun" released in 2015 was praised as "the best crime film in the Mainland in the past ten years" and was once touted. The altar even gave birth to three movie emperors Duan Yihong, Deng Chao and Guo Tao.
However, under the prestigious name, it is actually difficult.
Even though "Scorching Sun" has the blessings of the three great movie kings, it has serious flaws. There are good sentences but no good chapters, making it miss the classics.
Don't rush to express your opinion. After reading the following discussion of Pico, Pico believes you will agree with Pico's statement. The story background of the film
is very attractive. In a 7-year-old murder, a family of five was killed in the villa and three suspects escaped. Years later, the three changed their identities to live again. Yang Zidao (Guo Tao) became a taxi driver, Xin Xiaofeng (Deng Chao) became a police officer, and Chen Bijue (Gao Hu) was frightened and became a mental patient.
Xiaofeng’s superior, Yi Guchun (Duan Yihong), is a courageous policeman. He treats Xiaofeng very seriously, but in the process of contacting him, he vaguely felt that this fearful young man was inextricably linked to the murder case many years ago. An exciting cat-mouse game begins.
This was originally a very good crime subject, but the three major flaws of "Scorching Sun" made it a waste of a good subject.
The first major flaw in the film is: anticlimactic.
At the beginning of the film comes a storytelling. A voice like Mr. Shan Tianfang narrates the murder case seven years ago. This way makes us accustomed to watching crime genre movies shine. If this film looks like " "Big Buddha Plath" has always been the narration of storytelling. At the end of the film, a slight comment on the story appears. It is definitely a highlight. However, storytelling only appears in the first five minutes, and Cao Baoping directly forgot it later. This beginning was very embarrassing and counterproductive. The beginning of the
film is also very large. The flashback lens explains the case. Duan Yihong’s sharp questions and Deng Chao’s dodgy eyes make people feel that there is bound to be a wonderful contest.
But the stage was set up, but the performances performed by the two main actors went off track. It turned out that Duan Yihong's eyes contained not only the case, but also the love for male subordinates.
Deng Chao also did what he liked. He played GAY and had a passionate kiss with a Taiwanese designer (Liu Songxian). After being met by Duan Yihong, the old man was jealous. This kind of plot satisfies the audience's evil taste, but the investigation of the case stalled there, until the end the audience did not see how Detective Duan decided the case.
There is also a ruthless character at the beginning of the film, that is, the landlord. The criminal trio rented his house. The landlord has a voyeur. He secretly installed a bug in the room, and the conversation between the three was recorded by him. The landlord of
was supposed to be the X factor of the entire film. He has a God’s perspective. When the police were unable to detect the case, this X factor should play a key role. But as a result, Duan police found the landlord’s home for some reason and found his tape. , And then I knew everything. It was originally the X-factor that was saving energy. In such a straightforward story, all the hard-earned energy was removed.
The second major flaw in the film: the characters’ motives are not established.
When watching this film, you will find a problem. The three criminal brothers are simply possessed by saints. Except for the heinous crimes committed at the beginning, their subsequent behavior can be called angels.
For example, the three of them raised the victim's deceased child together, and want to achieve inner salvation. This is justified.
, after the three of them, simply "do everything they can" to clean up.
For example, the eldest brother Guo Tao, who acted bravely, saved the girl from serious injuries without leaving a name.
, the second brother Deng Chao, simply became a policeman.My boss is also happy. The third brother of
, Gao Hu, is even more powerful, but with an IQ of 160, he forcibly pretends to be a fool, which is not understandable.
At the end of the movie, the three silly white sweet brothers made people unable to find Bei. In the end, we knew that the real murderer was someone else, but the eldest brother and the second brother colluded to confess that they were themselves in order to keep their raised daughters from leaving a shadow. Those who killed me would rather die than fight actively. The third brother is more performing art and jumped directly into the sea.
Although "self-salvation" is a common routine in domestic crime films, compared to the occasional flash of humanity, the 139-minute continuous atonement is really too artistic.
The third major flaw in the film: Coincidence
We all know that the biggest highlight of a crime suspense film is "Who is the murderer?"
explained this problem at the beginning of the film, which shows that the director has great confidence, that is, even if I tell you who the murderer is, you will be patient and watch it.
Throughout the film, the director did not fulfill this confidence. We saw that Detective Duan didn't work hard to solve the case in the whole film. He settled the case by coincidence.
There is no coincidence and no book, a suspense film of course requires coincidence, but too many coincidences means the screenwriter’s laziness, the dug hole cannot be filled, and can only be handled by coincidence.
For example, Duan Yihong happened to run into Guo Tao's taxi during the inspection, and Guo Tao happened to be hijacked by criminals, leaving evidence. This is the first coincidence.
Guo Tao’s hero Wang Luodan who rescued the United States happened to be Duan Yihong’s sister. This is another coincidence. Two criminals, one is a police subordinate, and the other is the lover of the police sister. The relationship between these characters is a bit forced.
and Deng Chao took the initiative to pretend to be gay. It happened that Duan really followed the past. This is the third coincidence. The key is that Deng Chao did this for funny reasons. Duan said that the murderer cannot be homosexual, because homosexuality cannot rape a woman. But we know that there are bisexuals in this world, and there are straight men who have been bends. The suspicion can be eliminated simply by playing gay. The methods are too poor.
The same thing is that Wang Luodan tested Guo Tao. After she undressed, she found that Guo Tao had a physiological reaction and concluded that he was not gay. This reason is nonsense. Detective
finally broke into Deng Chao’s home inexplicably, and without any obstacles, easily found all the evidence of the crime. This is the fourth coincidence. The
film also had a reversal at the end. The murderer played by Wang Yanhui took the initiative to confess that he was the real murderer back then. Of course, Wang Yanhui’s acting skills are really chilling, but this person has never appeared before. Such a reversal is also insufficient. In other words, Wang Yanhui's bursting performance concealed the rigidity of the plot structure.
said above that there are so many deficiencies in "Scorching Sun", but even so, the film still scored a high score of 8.1 on Douban. To put it bluntly, it was forcibly supported by three movie kings.
three movie emperors, each left his own famous scene.
Guo Tao's famous scene is the scene of the operation of disinfection of baijiu. He sprinkled the baijiu on the wound, grinned, and the saliva spurted out. Then he sutured the wound forcibly with a needle and thread, and finally fainted. He was really ruthless. It’s typical of people who can’t bear to look directly at it.
Deng Chao’s famous scene is the final execution of the death penalty. His tension, convulsions, and rolling eyes are just right. You can imagine how much Deng Chao put in for this scene. Deng Chao gives people a sense of noisy because of his participation in a variety show, but his role in this film is only nonsense, allowing people to really see his acting skills. This film is also his masterpiece.
Duan Yihong’s performance Pi Ge personally thinks is better than Guo Tao and Deng Chao. His role in the film is a deep cabinet. He admires his subordinates but cannot be too obvious. All the plays are in his eyes, and his performance should be more restrained.
He is here to perform. The complex eyes and ambiguous sentiment run through the film. In the old part, he was a serious boss, and sometimes he was a neighbourhood aunt who likes gossip. The two roles seamlessly switch, full of black humor. the taste of.
If you want to say his famous scene, it is his line: "The law is a combination of divinity and animality. It is very cute. It knows hello but it is limited.You can’t be so evil, who doesn’t have such a dirty heart..." The director used his mouth to say the main point of the film, and he is the soul of the film.
In addition to the three actor, a few The supporting role performance is also remarkable. The fool played by
Gao Hu didn't make many appearances but it was impressive. The last interview of Wang Yanhui was so brilliant that people thought it was a real documentary, and many fans spoke of him more bluntly. This performance overwhelmed three actor.
In contrast, as the only actress in the film, Wang Luodan's performance is much inferior, as long as her role is full of embarrassing atmosphere.
does not know it is Cao Baoping doesn’t know how to use an actress, or Wang Luodan himself has encountered a career bottleneck. In my impression, the last time her good performance was in Han Han’s "There Will Be No Time", we can only hope that she can get back to acting as soon as possible.
Now, this is "Scorching Sun", a movie with a plot of 5 points and 10 points for acting. Its success fully proves a truth: a good actor can save a bad script, and these three major flaws are also destined to be unable to be a classic A history of famous shadows.
