December can be said to be the highlight of domestic movies. Waves of movies were released, but I did not expect "Manslaughter" to become the most unexpected dark horse. After the screening, the audience's feedback such as "The most surprising crime business of the year "Large movies", "education beyond social reality", "extremely sound anti-killing film" and so on are very surprising. The movie tells a story that tests humanity: the underage daughter is abused, and the father's hero kills the opponent by mistake. In order to protect his daughter, the father buried the body and covered up the evidence, and launched a desperate contest with the police. The film is produced by Chen Sicheng. His acting skills are unconvincing, but since the "Detective Chinatown" series, his behind-the-scenes attempts have made him look at his talent with admiration. This time, the production of "Manslaughter" shows him even more. He has a unique vision for crime suspense movies.
This film is adapted from the Indian film "Manslaughter". It tells the story of a father who fought with the prosecutor and the police station for the manslaughter of his wife and daughter. Because the murdered son of the inspectorate involved some educational and institutional issues in India at that time, it caused a huge response once it was released, and the film was rated as high as 8.6 on Douban.
Judging from the lessons learned from domestically-produced movies, it is usually scolded or harmonized. Such a plot may be more difficult than making a new movie. Many excellent details in the original version of
have been retained, and localized processing has also been carried out. For example, in "Manslaughter", the daughter was filmed by the prosecutor's son to change her clothes, and she was threatened, and the mother and daughter were manslaughter. In order to protect his family, his father embarked on the subsequent escape plan. The social background of the original story is in India where the status of women is extremely low. A video that we think may not be important has a very serious impact in India. Therefore, in the adaptation of "Manslaughter", the scene of the video of her daughter being secretly filmed and changing clothes was replaced by being raped, which aroused the seriousness of the matter and made the behavior motivation of the characters in the story more convincing in our eyes. force.
, for example, in "Manslaughter", the daughter is a manslaughter, after the family's efforts, finally escaped legal sanctions. But in "Manslaughter", the daughter's negligent homicide was adapted into an illusion, and the father deliberately designed herself to become the real murderer, and finally surrendered to protect the family. This not only makes the story more reversible, and the narrative rhythm is closer, but also more in line with the main theme and positive energy that the society needs to promote. The actors of
also did not live up to the movie. As the saying goes, "Ginger is still hot", a generation of legendary actress Chen Chong bears the brunt of acting. This time she created a contradictory villain. As a high-ranking police officer, she worked hard and decisively. As a mother, she was helpless and weak, with a tough appearance and a fragile heart. She portrayed her images clearly and vividly.
Tan Zhuo has relied on "Hello! "Mr. Tree", "Breaking Silent", "I am not a medicine god" and other works that have achieved good reputation and box office, step by step have established her status as a powerful actor. In "Manslaughter", she played a completely different kind of mother from Chen Chong, a gentle and virtuous housewife. For spoilers, the two mothers have an amazing scene on the same stage. Tan Zhuo resolutely said angrily, "Some children are children, and some children are beasts." Tan Zhuo's sorrow and despair, Chen Chong's perseverance and sharpness, are fully demonstrated in this "mutual tearing" rivalry scene.
The most striking thing is Xiao Yang, the "old boy" who has always appeared in a comedy role. For the first time, he played a tolerant and kind father, which not only subverted himself, but also subverted everyone's perception of him. know. In the trailer, Xiao Yang's several "eyes kills" were sharp with profoundness and perseverance with coldness, making netizens exclaim "One look, one billion yuan guaranteed." After years of training, he has gradually grown from a comedian to a powerful actor with acting skills and connotation. The core of
"Manslaughter" through the suspense plot may be exactly what the male protagonist said in the movie: "I have nothing to do. I can only stand in front of you when the disaster strikes!" Protecting family members and constantly challenging the boundaries of the law is not just because of love.
