At the 13th FIRST Youth Film Festival, the small-cost absurd comedy "Sherlock on the Plain" was nominated for Best Feature Feature Film and won the Best Film Text Award. The
new director's work has won such a big award, which can be said to be a great affirmation of the film industry.
waited for four months, "Sherlock on the Plain" was finally released. The score was 7.7 on the premiere day and rose to 7.8 after three days. The ratings of domestic films did not drop but increased, which proves that this story is really exciting.
things should start with a farmer named Chaoying. After working hard for most of his life, he finally exchanged his cattle for money. Friends suggested to him: save this money for retirement. However, Chaoying only wants to renovate the house he is living in, hoping to live more comfortably in the future. Where are
Chaoying’s wife and children, the film does not explain. Except for a friend's sentence: "The children will never come back to live", I never mentioned it again. A scene that points out the current situation of "the elderly living in groups and the lack of young people" in contemporary rural areas made the audience sigh.
Chaoying wants to build the house very much. For this reason, he invited the most professional construction team to provide enough meat for each meal, hoping that the construction team will eat more and work harder.
came to help him, with good friends Shuhe and Zhanyi. But fate was ill-fated, and Shuhe had a car accident while out shopping for food. In order to get justice for Shuhe, Chaoying and Zhanyi resolutely embarked on the path of investigating the truth...
"Sherlock on the Plain" is a very local comedy movie: the opening is in Hebei dialect, and every farmer is dressed in a local dress. . Obviously it has a rural background, but a detective combination similar to "Holmes and Watson" came up. The whole film presents a kind of magical realism. The climax of the
story began with Chaoying and Zhanyi's decision to find the murderer on their own.
Before that, Chaoying and Shuhe's nephew had an argument. Shuhe said: As long as you lie and claim that you fell, the medical insurance can be covered by 70%. The hospitalization fee is so expensive, so let's not waste money. But Chaoying was very persistent and vowed to seek justice for Shuhe.
The thinking of the younger generation is completely opposite to the thinking of the older generation. The former pursues interests first (commendation), while the latter pursues justice and loyalty. To some extent, it is also a manifestation of the thinking of two generations.
Chaoying and Zhanyi's process of solving the case is the main story line, and it is also the paragraph with the most laughs in the film. It was dubbed by the audience as "Taste Solving the Case". The
crime scene lacked surveillance, and the two could only go to the goddess to determine the location of the vehicle involved. The investigation after the suspected vehicle is confirmed is also very difficult, and many ridiculous jokes have been made in the backyards of houses, schools, residential buildings and other places. Although
is the main line of investigating and solving cases, the focus of the film is still the presentation of rural life and the contrast between rural life and the process of urbanization.
In the countryside, human affection is the most precious thing. Even people who have never met can become relatives after three generations.
When Chaoying and Zhanyi finally found the camera near the case. At first, the boss didn't want to show them. But after the two called and asked: "xx, do you know xxx", the boss can only hand over the monitoring obediently, which is very funny.
But in the city, people are indifferent. The high-rise buildings cut off the connection between people, and the security guards are even more ruthless and do not eat the "selling personal affection" in the countryside.
Everyone understands that urban and rural areas are two different carriers, and lifestyles must be different. But at least, after such a strong contrast. The audience can perceive some of the beauty of the countryside and miss them.
In addition to the above, there are many various metaphors in the film. For example, the sunflower that appeared shortly after the opening, gave several close-up "Happy Home" posters. Each shot hints at the rural people's yearning for beauty.
Although their lives are difficult now, they have never stopped working hard.
Chaoying, Zhanyi, and Shuhe have a particularly moving relationship. Although the three of them are almost 200 years old together, there is still a kind of bravery and persistence that belongs to young people.
-Don't ask for money, just ask for truth and justice. No matter how much he paid for himself, he had to find the person who hurt his brother.
, especially in the second half of the film, "Super England rides out on horseback and ends the case", JaneZhi is a hero.
and at the end of the film finally revealed the reason for "Super England insisting on building a house". In just 5 minutes, countless audiences burst into tears. Moved by the sincere emotion in it.
Currently, "Sherlock on the Plain" has been in theaters for three days. Combining suspense, reasoning, comedy, and magical realism, it can be said to be the best absurd comedy of 2019, but it suffers from no filming, and the box office is less than 8 million.
hopes that through this recommendation, more people can discover this excellent domestic film. From this, I can feel the simplicity of the rural people and my insistence on truth and justice.
