Preface
There is no doubt that in the first wave of box office wars this summer, the first one to come out on top was " silently kills " directed by Ke Wenli.
Although the competition is not fierce, this film is mediocre in terms of lineup and promotion. It is not easy for
to approach 200 million now.
In my opinion, "Silent Kill" is definitely the best in terms of scale in several years.
Although it is not as intuitive and passionate as the action movie " Weekly Remove Three Evils ", it is definitely more thrilling than " Solid as a Rock " and " Crossing the Angry Sea ".
is not trying to bully people here. Since standards really speak for themselves, they must show some real skills in order to convince the public.
is not so much anti-school violence as it is a joint revenge. At the beginning of
, the perpetrators died tragically one after another. The horrifying scene scared me into losing my voice for a while, and then it became even more literal "killing crazy".
I believe everyone already knows some of the plot of "Silent Kill".
This time, let’s break it apart and take a look at the details of this movie.
Attention, high-energy spoiler warning ahead, please evacuate immediately if not involved -
01
Stepfather comes home early
At that time, the heroine Li Han (played by Zhang Junning) was an accountant and thought that her husband would not go home that day and would come back very late.
First of all, it can be seen from here that the husband often flies to Guangdong, and each "business trip" lasts for a long time.
And this man is so controlling and violent, so one can imagine how much control he has over Li Han.
Li Han happened to dress up brilliantly when her husband was not at home, wearing small high heels and a chain bag, and left her children at home. It was most likely that she went on a date.
Based on the expression on his face when he saw the child's blood, and the fact that he later felt guilty because he didn't expect her husband to come home so early, it all shows that Li Han had actually long been aware that her husband would do something worse than a pig or a dog..
Even so, she still went out and left the child at home.
Extreme guilt and regret, coupled with years of depression and tolerance, there are traces of the outbreak of mental illness.
02
Why is Xiaotong pretending to be mute? In the last Easter egg of
, Xiaotong actually started singing.
But everyone knows that Xiaotong is mute, so why does she pretend to be mute?
After Xiaotong was violated, Li Han specifically stated that she "don't tell anyone" about the incident. In order to let Xiaotong know the boundaries, she repeatedly beat and scolded her child with domestic violence.
For Li Han, this is a disguised protection for her daughter, and only if she never speaks can she really bury this matter.
In fact, this matter has always been on Li Han's mind.
Not letting Xiaotong speak, on the one hand, it protects her self-esteem, and on the other hand, it also confirms Li Han's selfishness.
03
About kumquats
Only in the end did I understand what the original sentence "Kumquats planted by my husband" meant.
Indeed, Li Han and Xiaotong have never eaten these kumquats.
Li Han uses kumquats to maintain interpersonal relationships, and the people who receive kumquats also know more or less Li Han’s secrets. This is not another kind of revenge.
04
About Xu Mama
In fact, it can be seen from the dispute between Li Han and Lin Zaifu.
Whether she was tied up by Lin Zaifu or "headshot" by Li Han, she was the most innocent one, but in fact this person also deserved it.
At that time, Lin Zaifu begged people who knew the inside story to expose the truth about his daughter's death. Xu's mother got the flyer and threw it on the ground without even looking at it. She even felt disgusted.
She kept asking Lin Zaifu to help him deliver her, but she still turned a deaf ear even though she clearly wanted to refuse after hearing the other party's hesitation.
was told by Lin Zaifu that he had killed Xiaotong and buried the child in the rooftop garden.

Even so, she still went out and left the child at home.
Extreme guilt and regret, coupled with years of depression and tolerance, there are traces of the outbreak of mental illness.

In fact, it can be seen from the dispute between Li Han and Lin Zaifu.
Whether she was tied up by Lin Zaifu or "headshot" by Li Han, she was the most innocent one, but in fact this person also deserved it.
At that time, Lin Zaifu begged people who knew the inside story to expose the truth about his daughter's death. Xu's mother got the flyer and threw it on the ground without even looking at it. She even felt disgusted.

was told by Lin Zaifu that he had killed Xiaotong and buried the child in the rooftop garden.
Xu’s mother’s first reaction was not fear. She even thought that the price of her house would drop. It was really ridiculous.
Moreover, she has been a witness to domestic violence in Li Han's family.
Xu’s mother saw Li Han being raped and heard Xiaotong being raped, but she never tried to dissuade her or help her in the slightest.
Even after her husband came home, she still did not remind Li Han that her husband was back, which indirectly caused her to have no psychological preparation, which eventually led to a tragedy.
Mother Xu is extremely selfish.
05
Huijun and Pigeon
Why is Huijun willing to sacrifice himself for a pigeon? Is this too exaggerated?
Judging from Huijun’s behavior, it should not be difficult to find that this child is an autistic child and does not have normal intelligence.
For this kind of child, there is a cognitive barrier. In fact, she has regarded pigeons as her good friends.
At this time, there is no difference between humans and animals.
So she was even more frightened when she saw the perpetrator trying to throw the pigeon down.
stood on a high platform and fell to his death.
06
was the first to respond. Lin Zaifu's Escape
begins with Lin Zaifu's appearance of escaping death on board.
This scene reminds me of the expression of Lao Jin dragging Miao Miao under the heavy rain in "Crossing the Angry Sea".
Just to be honest, Lin Zaifu really made me see the urge to die.
In the end, Lin jumped from Fugao Tower and found his destination in the different eyes of everyone.
I really like the shots here, there is no forced sensationalism, Lin Zaifu is like a free bird in the sun, and there is even a touch of warmth in the picture.
From wanting to die but not being able to, to completing the task and willing to die, Lin Zaifu was liberated.
07
Teacher Fang and Lin Zaifu
Of course, when it comes to Lin Zaifu, we must talk about Teacher Fang.
This respected but sanctimonious man must have been seen by everyone as colluding with the principal.
But in fact, Teacher Fang’s concealment of the truth is actually understandable.
The culprit is destined not to be caught, which is endless pain and obsession for Lin Zaifu who knows the truth.
In order to make Lin Zaifu feel relieved, it would be understandable even if he didn't tell him.
However, as someone who clearly knew that the principal's daughter was not a good person, she still colluded with the principal, and it was obvious that it was not the same for a day or two. This is Teacher Fang's evil.
Teacher Fang saved Lin Zaifu and his daughter, but later after Huijun died, he did not tell the truth but harmed Lin Zaifu.
Perhaps for atonement, Teacher Fang blocked the knife for Lin Zaifu. Therefore, Lin Zaifu did not kill him in the end, and took Teacher Fang into the car with him and called 120.
tit for tat, this is all karma.
08
The whole movie is a huge causal loop
In addition to Lin Zaifu and Teacher Fang, others are also trapped in this causal loop.
The principal turned a blind eye to Huijun's death, helped his daughter conceal the truth, and finally saw his daughter's body appearing in front of him.
But Xiaoqing’s mother turned a blind eye to Li Han being beaten to a bloody head.
Later, she turned a blind eye when Lin handed out flyers at the gate of Fu School. Could she not know what it was like in school if her child played well with the principal's daughter? In the end,
could only frantically ask about her daughter's whereabouts but was ignored. After all, it was retribution.
Of course, there is also the selfish Xu Ma mentioned above.
The four perpetrators, as well as Li Han, who was domestically abused and abused his daughter, and Lin Zaifu, who committed murder and wanted to pay with his life.
In the end, the plot forms a perfect closed loop. "Silent Kill" is actually a huge causal loop.
Conclusion
Although everyone talks about the easter eggs in "Silk Kill", it is more reasonable not to watch it.
Xiaotong, who had already escaped, turned himself in or was caught in a juvenile detention center.
But in my opinion, this ending is nothing compared to the previous scale, and at least we also know the fact that Xiaotong is not mute.
Moreover, in fact, the surrender of the male protagonist at the end of "Manslaughter" did not affect the overall reputation.
I have to say what surprised me the most about the movie. In addition to the display and description of some bloody and large-scale plots,
also displays human nature.
For example, the policeman played by Francis Ng seems moody and irritable.
But when he slapped Li Han and then dropped the video recorder, the character instantly became more vivid and three-dimensional.
is a completely unexpected move by the audience. No one can pass the review.
Where is the "silent" in "Silent Kill"?
It lies in Xiaotong who never spoke but fueled the flames from beginning to end, in Teacher Fang who knew the truth but helped conceal it, and in the melon-eaters who saw others being hurt but pretended not to see it.
also lies in hiding their true colors and killing Li Han and Lin Zaifu for the sake of their children.
Fortunately, in the end, Li Han and Lin Zaifu were freed.
