01 Immersive experience, the live-action movie version of the "Star Detective" game
(no spoilers in this part)
Some movies call themselves detective movies, but they use movie language to limit perspective, hide clues, and even provide misleading fakes. clue. Such a movie can only be called a suspense movie deceived by reasoning.
"Knife Out of the Sheath" is at least perfect. It is a pure detective reasoning film, an immersive reasoning film with a strong sense of participation. Every audience can become a detective. The whole film of
neither affects the audience's rational analysis of love drama, nor hides any personality and clues that can lead to the truth, let alone maliciously misleading the audience's reasoning direction.
"Knife Out of the Sheath" is like a live-action movie version of the "Star Detective" game.
The whole movie-watching experience is as if you spend three or four hundred yuan to participate in the immersive reasoning game that is popular in major cities today. The difference is that you don't need to search for clues in the game scene with your ears, just listen to the testimony (lines) and clues (screen) with your ears. The first scene of the
film, no nonsense, directly presents you with the first glance of the crime scene in the first person.
Next, the suspect (player) enters a relatively closed crime scene (game scene) and is interrogated by a detective. The process of autopsy and evidence search is omitted, and the film directly uses the suspect’s testimony as the starting point for reasoning. The process of the suspect being interrogated facing the camera is also a process of involving the audience in solving the case. The amount of information in this section of the
suspect taking turns to record the confession is indeed very large. Seven or eight suspects appeared back to back. It was not easy to remember the transliteration of names and the relationship between characters, and they had to absorb and digest their testimony. For novice reasoning, this plot may be more difficult than gnawing classical Chinese. But for veterans of reasoning, this section is a hearty process of searching for evidence.
Part of the screen information at the time of the case will be presented to the audience in the form of "true clues" when the suspect provides testimony according to the plot needs. There is no director using the suspect's subjective conjecture to mislead the audience's reasoning. Happening.
Therefore, the "rules of the game" in "Knife Out of the Sheath" are simple: watch movies, dig for clues, build reasoning, and find the murderer.
This time, there is no God's perspective (the audience knows more than the protagonist), and there is no "cat's eye perspective" (the audience knows very limited clues). The truth and reasoning film to test your reasoning ability is here.
It is worth mentioning that in the past, many detective movies emphasized the presence of the detective, and even incorporated the detective’s personal emotions into the plot of reasoning. For example, in mystery novels or film and television works such as Sherlock Holmes, the detective itself is a great dramatist, and his personality has become the biggest source of motivation for the audience to watch the drama.
is very different from "The Knife Out of the Sheath". In addition to the fact that the detective in the film is very important at the end, he is more like a pair of eyes "working for the audience", he is only responsible for helping The audience connects various characters and the scene.
The detective played by the big star Daniel Craig (actor of 007), his name appears less frequently than the fifth and sixth suspects, not to mention the film does not even mention his origin and background. Up.
is a clean detective reasoning movie, "The Knife Out of the Sheath" is indeed worth watching.
02 A detective movie that can guess the murderer, is it a good reasoning movie?
(spoilers in this part, including some Agatha and Nolan movies)
watchDetective reasoning films, playing real-life detective games, are largely a process of "comparing IQ".
is going to race against the detectives in the movie, and when the progress bar reaches the danger zone (the third act of the movie), lock in your murderer in advance. If it is watched by multiple people, the whole viewing process is the same as playing a live game. Who can find the culprit quickly and accurately.
However, the actual process of solving cases is not completely positively correlated with "intelligence."
In addition to the interference of film art processing mentioned above on reasoning, the reasoner’s past experience also has a great influence on reasoning.
Whether you accumulate experience by watching movies, reading novels or playing real-life games, the more familiar you are with the classic routines of reasoning games, the more targeted your next reasoning will become.
"The Knife Out of the Sheath" also complies with some classic rules of reasoning: the "country villa school" murder case-several people who know each other are in a relatively enclosed space; servants, housekeepers and detectives cannot be the murderers; for the murderers The description cannot be too little; usually, the real murderer shouts to catch the thief or even the second victim.
Once the film complies with the "Basic Law" of reasoning, the audience's decryption will become well-founded.
In addition, the film language of "Knife Out" also follows the preference of hiding "cheat codes" in the first mirror of some decrypted movies. Nolan's movies have always liked this set of operations. The hat of "Fatal Magic", the bookshelf of "Interstellar", and the top of "Inception" are all key props that point to the final truth.
Therefore, friends who have a certain degree of suspense film viewing experience will definitely be very sensitive to the sound of the dog barking in the opening of "The Knives Out" and the picture with the dog as the first lens, because the dog is given a longer shot in the opening. It would seem strange. There are many clues to the real murderer in
, but the dog is a hidden "cheat code" left by the director to the fans. Through this cheat code, you can skip the rigorous logical reasoning and find the real murderer directly based on experience, at least to narrow the suspicion The range of people.
There are only three suspects who have direct contact with dogs and dog barking in the film: the role played by Chris Evans of the "American Team", the eldest daughter played by Grandma Jimmy Lee Curtis, and the film’s The true mistress-a caregiver from South America. Therefore, the real murderer must come from among them. The dogs above
will bark regardless of whether they are acquaintances or strangers. But the clue that the dog barked to strangers made the US team's role relatively more suspicious.
Again, Jimmy Lee Curtis has too few scenes, and the nurse has too many scenes, and the directivity is too obvious, like a bait used by the director to hide the truth. Therefore, it is actually not difficult to find out the real culprit of the US team based on various "off-court factors" information.
Then there is a question. A detective film that can guess the murderer based on experience and the "Basic Law of Reasoning" is a good reasoning movie?
In fact, you compare "The Knife Out of the Sheath" with Agatha's several classic detective movies, such as "Tragedy on the Nile", "Murder on the Orient Express", "The Prosecution Witness", and "The Knife Out of the Sheath" really They are not qualified to be called gods.
"The Knife Out of the Sheath" is more like a mid-level detective film exercise made by an Agatha fan.
It is not low enough to violate the "Basic Law of Reasoning", it randomly finds a leftover character to be the real murderer and then uses the newly added personal information to fill in the motive of the crime, but it is not advanced enough to be familiar with the premise of the "Basic Law of Reasoning" Next, do some innovations that have tactics but are self-consistent.
friends who have seen Agatha’s novels or film and television works are all impressed by her elaborate murderous game. Whether it’s "Murder on the Orient Express" where all the suspects are the real murderer, or "The Witness of the Prosecution", where all the suspects are proved innocent and the charges are eluted, it is difficult to guess the true murderer in Agatha’s movie. The process of solving the case is also unpredictable.
However, the ending of "Blade Out of the Sheath" is predictable and not "god" enough. The poster slogan calls it the "God of the Year", which is more or less exaggerated.
However, a detective film that can guess the ending does not prevent it from becoming a good detective film. Even if "Knife Out" can not be a good student of both character and academics, looking at the detective reasoning movies in recent years, there are not many movies that can achieve its level of rigor while taking into account the entertainment. "The Knives Out" deserves a little red flower.
In addition, by shootingRian Johnson, the famous director of "Star Wars 8", has never made such a large-scale detective reasoning movie before, and the script is still an original script supported by any original. For a novice director who made a detective film for the first time, his talent may have surpassed most directors of the same period.
