Chapter 84 Impact Amplification

"The Father of Horror", "Hong Kong Journal" uses such a title to express its evaluation of this film, and it is also extremely reverent for its conception, who would have thought that simple stories can have such an effect when they are connected together.

"Saw is a very bloody and brutal film, and it inevitably makes some people sick, and if a horror movie makes people feel that way, it means it's halfway there. A morbid and crazy murderer, all kinds of grotesque and terrifying ways of killing, a meaningful central theme, make Li Yihua's outstanding masterpiece"

The ugliness of people's surnames, the rebuke of the heart. As a veteran newspaper, "Sing Tao Yuebao" used such a title to open the discussion of Li Yihua's new film, and they used a full page to report on "Saw Horror" in detail, from the poster of the film to the main content of the film, but he focused on the excitement of the movie, nor the eye-stimulating pictures in the film, but directly from the law and surname.

"This is a story that tells the surname of a person, and although we feel pity for the psychopathic killer maniac in the play, this is not a reason for him to punish others, everyone has a chance to live, and no one has the right to deprive others of their lives. The schizophrenic nicknamed "Jigsaw" kidnaps victims who have not valued their lives based on the judgment of their own supervisors, and allows them to experience the value of life in the midst of mutual killing, which is a provocation to the law and a challenge to people's surnames. No one will not make mistakes, and if we make mistakes, we should take the right means to educate, instead of taking extreme measures and even paying the price of our lives. ”

"Wen Wei Po" did not give "Chainsaw Horror" a page as large, but it did not put it in the entertainment edition, but in the actual edition, and the whole report except for a little introduction to the film, it is more concerned about the thinking of today's life.

"Hong Kong has been plagued by disasters throughout the century, and the stock market crash in the past few years has cost the lives of a large number of businessmen. We don't just have to overcome grief, but we also have to think about why they don't value life. Life is only once, no matter when and where can not give up life, human life is too fragile, we have no reason, any excuse, waste the years, game life! The theme of "Chainsaw" is very clear, that is, it calls on everyone to cherish life, but the scenes expressed are too bloody. Life in the world is not easy, many people feel disgusted with the world, life is negative, to have a beautiful life, of course, it is gratifying, but if destined to be an ordinary life, even a bumpy life, we have nothing to regret, more than so many misfortunes, we should feel deeply fortunate: we can also see the beauty of the world, taste the flavor of life, feel the warmth of family affection! ”

"Ming Pao" began to elaborate on the development of the film, mentioning the hottest discussion in the film industry recently, reporting with the surname care, and the black font occupies a quarter of the page, so conspicuous and eye-catching.

"Saw is a great example of how to protect children and young people from movies that might have a bad impact on them, but also to give adults the opportunity to watch more movies that depict the reality of Seonghito's world. This is a secular society, not a saintly society, a relaxed and dynamic society that should allow for the needs of ordinary people. It is the norm of a confident and mature cultural environment. Whether it is a horror film, a ghost film, or a ** film, a violent and bloody film, everyone has more choices for theme movies, which is a sign of the maturity of the film industry. So here, we should call on the entire film industry to call for classification, not only to protect the moviegoers, but also to regulate the film market. ”

"In 1896, movies began to be introduced to Hong Kong, in 1913, Hong Kong's first production agency, Huamei Films, was founded, in 1925, Hong Kong's first feature film "Rouge" was released, in 1934, Hong Kong's first sound film was born, and in 1953, the Electricity Inspection Ordinance was formulated. Yesterday, director Li Yihua's "Chainsaw", although it was full of bloody scenes that stimulated the eyeballs, but fortunately, director Li Yihua prepared in advance to exclude people under the age of 18, so as not to poison the mental health of teenagers. Here, I insist on high respect for the director of Li Yihua......"

The focus of the report on the director, the actors and the new things used in the film can also be described as unusual.

“…… Compared with the bloodiness of the film, the performances of the actors in the film can be said to be remarkable. For the starring role, the director boldly used Liang Jiahui, who was hidden by Taiwan, the Qing Emperor of the year has proved his acting skills, because of political reasons, such a good actor was buried, this time his performance in the film proves the director's vision. Compared with the old actors, the new actors Ren Dahua and Wu Zhenyu of Wireless have a very measured grasp of the actors' emotions, especially the changes before and after the protagonist has experienced great trauma......

Relative to praise, there is also a lot of criticism, and this is the case with any film, and it is impossible to do so without argument. , "Metropolis Daily" is a review written by a film critic named Huang Zhi, in addition to the indiscriminate bombardment of the film like a defender.

“…… I don't know what the whole film is, just use some bloody shots to catch people's attention, the plot is simply patchwork, what chainsaw horror, it is simply a murderous maniac, but the director worships this kind of person, and the shooting of the film is also shoddy, small cost is small cost, and those special effects makeup can only make people feel disgusting. There are also actors inside, shouting and screaming one by one, performing fake and pretentious. A director who has just entered the industry, a few third-rate young actors, has completely shot a film that is not in the stream......"

In addition to Huang Zhi's comments, many newspapers at this time have assumed the responsibility of defenders, and loudly commented on how this movie teaches bad young people, Li Yihua knows that this kind of evaluation and disputes have always existed, and will continue until the decline of Hong Kong films.

Since the full release of "Chainsaw", it has also brought more and more extensive discussions, especially for the bloody scenes in it, which has become the target of many newspapers and magazines, and many adults have become physically unwell after watching the movie, let alone minors.

Of course, it is not only the movie "Chainsaw" that has been discussed, because Li Yihua has limited the viewing age, the impact is mostly positive. And Shaw Brothers' production of "The Heroic Girl of the Tang Dynasty" was not so lucky, it simply hit a crater, and the mainstream media reported it from a critical perspective. As the discussion deepens, the scope is getting wider and wider, and many ** movies are included, whether to completely ban them or to be laissez-faire, and the two sides of the debate are each with their own opinions.
