Chapter 441: Killing the Quartet
One year is busy, and the next two months are comfortable to accompany my parents, and the Spring Festival stalls are sharply unsheathed for the premiere.
Rashomon's different opinions and endless reversals are wonderful enough, and even more wonderful is the revelation of human nature. The darkest thing is not the cause of Harlan's death, but the scheming and the city under everyone's mask.
Everyone said that Marta was a family member, and after Harlan gave her the inheritance, they said that she was a slut who cheated on the inheritance. Walter himself said that he would take good care of her, but he turned his face when he said that he would turn his face, and even threatened her with her mother.
If you commit a crime, I will turn a blind eye if there is a benefit, and if it is not good, I will call the police to arrest you. At first, everyone said that Harlan committed suicide, but after listening to the will, they asked Blank to continue the investigation, wishing that Marta had killed him.
It doesn't matter if it has nothing to do with yourself, even if it is the cause of your father's death, it is related to your own interests, you will care that the family can quarrel every day, and you can unite with the outside world for the sake of the inheritance.
Because they know that they can be unhappy with their families, but not with money. There is no eternal family, only eternal interests. Marta's words hit the nail on the head: why Harlan gave me the inheritance, not because of me, but because of you.
……
Even if you have seen too many brain-burning masterpieces that are reversed and reversed, you will still be completely hit by this detective film with a gorgeous and dreamy lineup and bold and trendy gameplay.
Whether it's a tribute to Agatha or an anti-Agatha, it's enough to make you indulge in this beautiful werewolf killing like Rashomon, and the layers of reasoning behind the murder and the ending that no one can guess are the highlights of this bloody game.
Ding Cheng plays a speculative detective, which makes people see the other side of the actor, the American team unexpectedly contributes subversive performances, and there are various new and old actors who show the dark side of human nature to the fullest.
……
It's so good-looking, the script is solid, more than a dozen characters are brilliant, all kinds of details and foreshadowing need to be brushed twice to get them all;
Especially after the second act, the suspense exits, and political satire begins to dominate the tone, elevating the whole film to another level, which is wonderful. Ryan?? Johnson's directing ability is still extraordinary, and this cast is even more awesome and blinding, all of them are hardcore actors!
……
In this work, my brother Cheng's acting skills are simply overkill!
Brilliant Hitchcock de Palma style thriller melodrama, very good script and director, the director once again did not disappoint me. The audiovisual language with strong contrast is very classical and very powerful.
The script is fantastic, each foreshadowing in front gives a reasonable and even unexpected solution in the back, it has symbolic meaning at the political level, there is a surprise after a surprise, and then another surprise, after a continuous reversal, everyone suddenly looks back, everything returns to humanistic care, and the beautiful humanity is finally compensated.
……
That's pretty good, isn't it?
One of my top three of the year!
The light and shadow composition is retro and elegant, the soundtrack is in place, and the laughter is just right. I thought it was anti-Sherlock Holmes, but I was wrong. has the illusion of God's perspective, and finally finds that the audience is the one who has been deceived the most.
Even if you accidentally watched the ending before, you won't be spoiled at all. The length of 130 minutes doesn't even give you the space to look at your phone, and you won't be able to keep up with the plot if you blink for too long, and the whole process reverses the eighteen bends of the mountain road!
……
If it is just a reversal of the truth, it is at best a high-profile version of "The Invisible Guest", but the brilliance of this film lies in its gratuitous gift of God's perspective and the mockery and cracking of God's identity, so that the ups and downs of psychological feelings are magnified geometrically.
How to find a motive for a crime that does not exist?
It is speculation, falsification, and insight into the future tense.
How do you reconstruct a crime scene that has become an established fact?
It is the alteration, substitution, and copying of the past tense.
The value of a good crime mystery movie lies not in the truth, but in the power of philosophy.
……
The name "Knives Out of the Sheath" is easy to be misled by mainland audiences, who think it is a short story of parents with grievances from wealthy families.
In fact, this is an extremely subtle mystery and suspense story, which opens with a dead person, and then a detective comes out to find the murderer. It's not very brain-burning, and in the end, it's really ......
But the process is just beautiful, the acting, the cinematography, the atmosphere, and the rhythm are all superb. As a Spring Festival movie, the general tone must not be too dark, so my dark psychology on this kind of story has not been satisfied. But with a little brain tinkering, you can come up with a darker story on your own.
……
It's satisfying to see a detective film in this era! The retro flavor is overflowing, the light and texture are first-class, the script is simply fantastic, the scattered bits and pieces of thread are finally embedded without a trace, and the trajectory of the gravitational rainbow finally makes the truth land.
With the truth publicized in advance in the middle section as the watershed, the first half seems to be a conventional grandmother-style closed space + a group portrait of the mansion gate with each ghost, and the various characters look more face-sensitive at first glance, but in fact they are often anti-routine-prodigal son + secretly observed granny + upper-class family model, so another layer of contrasting humor is generated in addition to suspense.
In the second half of the script, the script is fully skilled, and the reversal of the internal logic and rationality of the event is reversed, breaking through the ancient paradigm, unceremoniously posing for a political position + grandiose fancy complaining, but the final solution to the mystery is still based on the good and evil of the human heart, and it is free in the field of genre films.
……
The viewing experience is excellent, and in my opinion, it expands the content space of the suspense genre and opens up the routines that have long been conventional. is not only a tribute to Agatha, but also a comprehensive anti-Agatha, and it can even be said that it cannot be defined only by suspense and reasoning movies, otherwise it is too narrow.
The director has a good grasp of the ability to gather rich audio-visual elements and skillfully choreograph, coupled with the wonderful interpretation of a number of all-star casts, the perfect realization of the commercialization of genre films, maybe a hundred stalks are arranged, and I only found 10.
I'm ashamed!
……
A hybrid variant of the House of Sin and Grandma, a reverse deconstruction of classicism, literally good-looking. The high degree of completion supports the director's strong creative desire and ambition.
The truth is not so hard to guess, but just like the donut theory, there will always be unexpected parts, and this surprise is dissolved and recreated in a witty way, and the play and the group portrait scheduling reach a delicate balance.
All kinds of mystery memes and reasoning stalks are also cleverly inserted, and then the most interesting thing is that the ending gives up more reversal opportunities under humorous political satire and instead goes to a human path of anti-noir films.
There are no rules in this game, the only rule is that the winner can make his own rules.
……
I thought it would be a simple application of the Blizzard Villa model, but I didn't expect the screenwriter who wrote and directed himself to play subversion and innovation on the basis of paying tribute to the classics.
The sharp blade that cuts the truth of the case has been unsheathed after the initial investigation in the villa in the first half, as if giving the audience a God's perspective, but everything has turned around with the plot outside the villa since then, further dissecting the hidden secrets behind the truth.
The content is rich, the style is retro, the soundtrack is brilliant, the rhythm is excellent, the editing and scheduling are quite amazing, the group scenes are also remarkable, the costumes are exquisite and gorgeous, and the just right black humor is even more unbearable.
In front of interests, a family is full of ugliness, and behind its development, the true form of a country is exposed. Through the elaborate structure and the occasional sense of joy, the satire of human nature and the allusion to politics are not delayed.
It's a luxury to be able to see such a hearty and high-quality original suspense film in theaters now, and I don't know when and what month will it be next time?
