What impressed me was Xiao Yang. After "Old Boy", this is his really powerful work.

movie stalk is undoubtedly the icing on the cake, and the real highlight lies in the story content of the film. The

film tells that Li Weijie played by Xiao Yang and Ayu played by Tan Zhuo have worked hard in the country for more than ten years. Their eldest daughter was violated by the son of the police chief, who was abusive, but killed each other by mistake. The world is dark and the law is useless. In order to protect his family, Li Weijie fights wits and courage with the police and starts a desperate contest.

It can be said that Chen Sicheng, as the producer of the film, has a unique vision. He first discovered the script of the original "Manslaughter" and then hired director Ke Wenli to shoot.

However, the remake is a double-edged sword. On the one hand, the original version provides a wonderful and solid script, and on the other hand, for many viewers who have watched the movie, they will lose the freshness of their first viewing.

And Chenchen, who has watched the film, can responsibly say that "Manslaughter" is definitely the best domestic remake in recent years! The

film is not only a copy of the original version, but also a wonderful secondary creation based on the essence of the original version, which can be described as a series of surprises during the viewing process.

1. Subtle reasoning and questioning, high-density details paving the way for

as a crime suspense film, the most exciting and exciting part of the film is the whole process of "prisoner" Li Weijie fighting wits and courage with the police.

First of all, time has become a key element of Li Weijie's alibi.

After his daughter accidentally killed the police chief's son Su Cha, senior movie fan Li Weijie mobilized his knowledge of years of immersion in crime suspense films to create alibi.

​​It can be seen that the crime time is on the 2nd, and compared with the original version 4 that left the crime scene, Li Weijie started planning the layout at night on the 2nd, and on the 3rd he set off to Luo Tong early in the morning, shortening the crime and absence. The time in between makes it more convincing for witnesses to record the time.

And the film's most intense and colorful performance is the wonderful interpretation of "cross-montage", "Muay Thai" has become the key element in this passage. Li Weijie, who set off on

2 on a business trip to Luotong, went to watch Muay Thai at night.

At the same time, it was a scuffle between the wife and daughter and Sucha.

At the same time, in different time and space, with a two-line narrative, Muay Thai hit his wife and daughter one by one. The boxer swallowed his tongue and suspended him. Su Cha was killed and fell to the ground.

not only adds to the excitement of fighting, but also pave the way for the struggle after waking up in the coffin.

Obviously, Sucha didn't really die during the fight. So, did he die because of the lack of oxygen in the coffin, or did Li Weijie found that Sucha was not completely dead during the process of moving the body and gave a fatal blow?

There are many details that are extremely scary but hard to find.

For example, Li Weijie, who is holding her little daughter on the poster, holds a bloody shovel in her hand, which corresponds to the little daughter scratching the table with a fork in the movie, just like the bloody scratches left by Sucha struggling in the coffin. Did the younger daughter see Sucha who was not completely dead in the coffin? z1If z

assumes that Li Weijie is the real murderer, then when he worships the Buddha, "there is no form of generosity, infinite merit", which corresponds more to the rejection of the sinful charity.

Regardless of the divergent opinions about the murder, compared with the original female police officer La Yun Pavilion's self-talking inference analysis, the reveal of Li Weijie's counter-reconnaissance tactics in "Manslaughter" is more refined and shocking. The

film shows Li Weijie’s deliberately disrupted scene fragments No. 2 and No. 3 one by one. Finally, under the explanation of La Yun, the chaotic fragments are placed in order, and the reasoning process is vividly deduced, which perfectly interprets the "cross montage." The essence of ".

trapping and reasoning, detection and counter-reconnaissance, can be described as a grass snake gray line, the veins are thousands of miles away, one accidentally missed the details of the director's laying, and two brushes and three brushes have new discoveries.

2. Big soaring acting and intense drama conflict

Xiao Yang played by Li Weijie is an ordinary low-level man who has read only the fourth grade of elementary school and is reluctant to buy beer after watching boxing matches.

But he has superb anti-reconnaissance methods to hide from the sky, and he has a sense of responsibility for his wife and daughter. A fan of

said:

"It is Xiao Yang that made me admire. After "Old Boy", this is his really important work."

It can be said that Xiao Yang contributed his qualitative leap forward in the film. Acting. On the side of

is Xiao Yang, a senior movie fan who says, "I have watched more than 1,000 movies, and there is nothing weird in this world." On the side of

is Chen Chong, an iron-fisted police officer who claims that "more than 1,000 cases have been solved, there is no bizarre case in this world".

​​The two strong confrontation, desperate fight, "There is no tie, only the one that wins", a dramatic conflict.

Compared with the stable character presentation of the original version, the characters in "Manslaughter" are more distinct and rich in layers.

There are two impressive scenes here. The first scene is Xiao Yang pretending to be a policeman and interrogating her little daughter in a harsh and vicious tone.

ignorant little Lori was frightened and cried directly, Xiao Yang's tone suddenly softened and she was comforting.

From the ruthless eyes of the prey to the comforting with a gentle smile, the dual interpretation of superb anti-reconnaissance criminals and loving fathers emerges. In the second scene of

, when the crowd was digging their graves, the film used a lot of slow motion. In every move, the sound of rain and gasping were parallel, and the psychological tension was rendered to the extreme.

knows that no one in the coffin is secretive. Faced with the pressure of the violent masses and the police in full view, Xiao Yang, who held a lot of close-ups, seemed to hypnotize the audience.

In addition to Xiao Yang, Chen Chong's La Yun also shocked many audiences. On the one hand,

is an iron-fisted policeman, who is determined to win and is domineering with one hand covering the sky. The other side of

is a fragile mother who is extremely doting, anxiously looking for a child, and crying.

Especially after Chen Chong learned that his son had committed the crime, he sat alone in the office crying, first shocked and heartbroken, then made up his mind.

saddened the truth of a mother’s evil to her child, a police officer’s contradiction that the criminal is a son, and finally decided to use power for personal gain and abuse of power in a multi-level psychology, let the audience get the complex psychology of La Yun only through a crying scene , Very powerful.

Chen Chong is usually shown in a beautiful and elegant image. The most exciting thing in the film is the interrogation scene where she drags the little loli like a beast. Not to mention the scared little loli, even the audience outside the camera will shake Flick on.

​​came to the hot search on Weibo, and it was undoubtedly a rivalry between Tan Zhuo and Chen Chong that the audience was full of praise.

The mother of the calf guard VS. Another mother of the calf guard, Tan Zhuo, who was cringing and never seen before, faced La Yun’s aggressiveness, but gritted her teeth and said, "Some children are children, and some children are just beasts." ".

sorrow and anger, like a lioness-like confrontation, will definitely be able to enter the "excellent rival drama of the year" and movie golden sentence series.

3. Touching family affection, digging into the big picture in depth

To say that Li Weijie’s battle of wits and courage with the police made people cry out, the film will also make you weep unexpectedly.

said, "I am a man with no abilities, and the only thing I can do is to stand in front of you" Xiao Yang tried his best but chose to surrender.

Why did he choose to surrender? There are three reasons.

is because of himBelieve in Buddhism and want to have a clear conscience.

Two is because he is an orphan whose parents died in the riots, and his presence can stop the uncontrolled riots.

Many people did not notice the third point, because the youngest daughter changed the 70-point test paper to 100-point in order to get the harmonica. As a father,

taught his little daughter to use lies for self-interest. It was the last surrender to fill the image of a father who leads by example. The most moving part of the

movie is Xiao Yang, who is sitting on the torture car and going away, saying

, "I don’t know when the communication between us has become less and less. When you go home, you close the door. I don’t know how to communicate with you. Your being violated is my dereliction of duty as a father..."

From my childhood, I hugged and held high memories, to the relative speechless indifference after puberty, the daughter’s rebellion, the father The helplessness of his father was relieved by the selfless and deep paternal love behind his father's sin at all costs.

Xiao Yang’s heartfelt words are like a love letter to her daughter. Get in and get off the car. Although your parents cannot protect you for your life, they are doing their best to give everything, even their own life.

The father looked at his daughter who was chasing behind the car. This father-daughter relationship was so real that people couldn't help crying.

And the film not only conducts vertical exploration on the emotional level, but also raises the original version of the idea of ​​"Down with the Bad Police".

The police have intensified their search for the people, the female police chief’s abuse of lynching only covered the sky, and the chief inspector who was running for mayor was welcome.

Extremely intensified social contradictions will eventually lead to uncontrolled riots among the people.

is like the English name of the film Sheep Without a Shepherd, a flock without a shepherd, that is, people under the rule of a government that has lost credibility.

It can be said that the imagery of the sheep representing scapegoat, redemption and sacrifice has enriched the connotation of the film.

"As long as the sheep can eat the grass well, they won't care who is on the bed."

In the end, the masses rose up and resisted. It was so happy!

Facing the interview with Song En’s refusal to answer, the film that broke the fourth wall is undoubtedly making the audience think, what do you think of Li Weijie?

, it can be said that this movie has carried out a clever in-depth exploration on the basis of the original version, and the connotation contained is far beyond imagination.

is just like the open ending brought about by the echoing prison escape scene, the film is exquisitely set up, and there are many foreshadowings that have been buried. I can't help but say:

"you who have only watched it once, do you really understand it?"
