Chapter 389: Excessive Punishment for the Wicked

After inspecting the screening area, Uchiki Taniguchi sat at the front desk eating popcorn and playing puzzles, and after an hour and a half, a movie was finished, and some audience members began to stand one after another.

Taniguchi Uchiki subconsciously looked up as the audience left the screening area one by one, suddenly realized something, raised his head and carefully looked at the audience leaving.

After watching it for a while, he turned his head and asked the front desk staff, "Which movie are these standpoint audiences?" ”

The staff glanced at the screening schedule and said, "Confession." ”

Uchiki Taniguchi's entire impression of this movie is that it is a suspense movie, and Matsuhi Pictures is responsible for the distribution.

In fact, there are many movies of the same period, but many movies are actually not qualified to be arranged by some mainstream movie theaters into the schedule of their own movie theaters, because at first glance, they are things that no one watches, and they can only be played in some art theaters or underground theaters, or they are annihilated, as if they never existed.

In fact, the films that can show their faces and schedule films in most music have surpassed the vast majority of movies.

There are about five films that are being screened now, and the rest of Taniguchi Uchiki has been taken off the shelves, in addition to "Black Rock" and "Confession", which were screened not long ago, there is also a Hollywood western movie, a romance film and an animated film. The results of these three films are just mediocre, and the love film played by a well-known idol has better results. But in more than ten days, it only won a box office of less than 700 million.

Uchiki Taniguchi hasn't seen any of these films, although he runs a movie theater. However, this cannot be said that he is not dedicated, his small theater has to show dozens of movies a year, and many of them are still bad movies, and it is really difficult for him to watch every one. Every time a movie is released, he usually takes a look at the distribution company, if it is the big five, he will schedule the film into a good period, and if the word-of-mouth or initial box office performance is good, he can increase the film schedule, and he doesn't need to watch every one.

He wasn't like this twenty years ago, when he watched almost every movie and commented on it in a small notebook after watching it. If the film is good, carefully analyze what is good, and if the movie is bad, it will impassionedly scold the creator of the movie. He has also submitted manuscripts, and he has earned manuscript fees for film review articles, but he is not a professional after all, and has only published one or two articles.

The reason why he noticed the movie "Confession" was because he found that there were many young people watching this movie. His movie theater is in Sakyo Ward, Kyoto City, not far from Kyoto University, and many of the young people who come to see the movie are students from that school.

According to his observations, the cartoon that aired not long ago does not seem to have such a large proportion of young viewers.

You know,In this cartoon is a product suitable for all ages.,Up to no teeth, down to no teeth.,I love to watch.,But after all, there are more young people.。

Compared with middle-aged people, young people have more picky tastes, and they seem to be more enthusiastic about foreign paintings, and seeing so many people watching this movie, Uchiki Taniguchi suddenly became interested.

He thought for a while and said to the staff of the theater: "Tomorrow is the weekend, there should be more students to watch the movie, and tomorrow the film will be appropriately increased in the evening." ”

The staff nodded: "Got it." ”

His cinema is his own independent theater, so the film schedule is completely up to him, and he doesn't need to listen to Matsuri Pictures. However, it often refers to the film schedule of Matsuhi Pictures' internal theaters, and Taniguchi Uchiki sees that Matsuhi Pictures is also a self-released movie, and the film schedule of "Black Rock" seems to be better than that of "Confession", so he also appropriately increased the film schedule of "Black Rock" slightly.

But through his observation during this time, even if "Black Rock" occupies a better time schedule, it seems that the attendance rate is not as good as "Confession". And the young audience of "Confession" accounts for such a large proportion of the audience, which also makes him vigilant.

It is important to know that in any era, young people are the main group of entertainment consumer goods, especially students. Because these people have great social needs, they have money and leisure. And they have their own communication circles, and many things can quickly become popular in their circles.

Once a good movie appears, it is often the first to be passed on by young people, and then it will slowly penetrate among other age groups.

Thinking of this, Uchiki Taniguchi realized that the film might be a big hit.

As a theater operator, Uchiki Taniguchi is not a person who knows nothing about the popular elements of current entertainment culture, and he has certainly heard of the name of Kei Fujiwara.

This guy is now a big name in China, and in the past two years, he has almost contracted the top ten programs in the ratings. He accounted for four of the top five programs in the ratings; He accounted for eight of the top ten programs, which is a terrifying result. Even if he doesn't wash his hands now, Kei Fujiwara's name will forever be engraved in the history of this broadcast, and it can't be erased. And in a few decades, there may not be anyone who can surpass him.

And he is also a well-known writer, the kind of writer who is serious, not the kind who writes autobiographical prose to cheat fans out of money after becoming famous, and is still the youngest winner of the Naoki Award, with another layer of gold on his name.

Uchiki Taniguchi doesn't usually watch much TV, but when "Naoki Hanzawa" started, he still stayed in front of the TV on time every Monday and watched the whole thing. So I'm still familiar with the name Kei Fujiwara, and after I knew that he started directing movies, I didn't care much about it. Although the early advertisements are flying all over the sky, as a theater practitioner, this kind of thunder and rain is not new. Before the official screening, the name was loud, and after the broadcast, the word-of-mouth and box office were average - this kind of thing is all too common.

This time, though, things seem to be different.

Uchiki Taniguchi glanced at the film schedule and found that the next "Confession" was in Cinema B at ten o'clock in the evening, so he thought about going to see one.

When the time came, Taniguchi Uchiki directly followed the flow of people into the venue to watch, and found that this scene was unexpectedly mostly young people, and there were many couples. Even listening to some people's conversations, they still came to watch the movie a second time.

It's ten o'clock in the evening, and there are more people going to see the movie.

Uchiki Taniguchi casually found a remote corner and sat down, waiting for the movie to officially start.

In fact, he has probably known the main plot of this movie by listening to the summary of the staff, customer feedback and reading film review articles, probably the content should be the story of the female teacher's daughter being killed by two bastard boys, and the female teacher took tragic revenge on these two people who could escape legal punishment through various means.

The two bastards who killed her daughter were both students in the female teacher's class. One is a genius boy, but because he was abandoned by his mother since he was a child, his heart is a little distorted, and he always thinks about what to do to make his mother pay attention to him; The other is silent and introverted, with a mediocre mind and appearance, so he also hopes to attract everyone's attention.

Two people, just to attract the attention of others, killed a young life.

And when the female teacher knew that her daughter had died at the hands of these two, when she questioned the genius boy among them, the genius boy didn't care. Also, under the current legal system, even if it is a homicide, the punishment for such juvenile offenders is almost zero.

So the female teacher began her own plan, first by using the patient's blood and the male teacher who was stimulated by constant home visits, to make the introverted boy have a nervous breakdown, and kill his mother in a desperate breakdown.

found what the genius boy really cared about - the professor's mother who abandoned him at the beginning. Even if he was abandoned and abused, he still wanted to be loved and paid attention to by his mother, which is what this teenager really thought.

The female teacher first let him know about his mother's remarriage, and cut off his mother's last thought that she could return to him. The genius boy planted a bomb in the auditorium, intending to let his classmates ascend to heaven with him, and through this act, he really attracted his mother's attention.

However, the bomb hidden in the auditorium was secretly diverted by the female teacher...... It was placed in the office of the teenage mother.

After the boy pressed the bomb control button, the female teacher's phone called, and on the phone, she told the teenager this fact in a calm voice.

……

Taniguchi Uchiki stared at him, and after watching the whole movie, whether it was the plot or the art style of the movie, it made him feel like his hair stood on end. Sure enough, the most frightening thing in this world is not ghosts and ghosts, but the evil of human nature after all.

Unlike other films, only the villains will show the evil side, and they will eventually be defeated by the positive side that represents the good camp of order. But this movie, whether it is a positive character or a negative character, is "evil" and terrifying.

It seems that "evil" is just a weapon in this film, and this weapon does not pick its owner.

To be honest, such a story may seem a bit cult, but it has to be said...... It's a cool sight.

Because in the minds of the audience, it is not refreshing to let the wicked person finally be responsible for what he has done. Putting a person who has killed someone in prison, or even sentencing him to death, can't make the audience feel excited from the bottom of their hearts, but will feel: Isn't this a matter of course? For this kind of rightful thing, the protagonist team has spent so much effort and time, and it is really not easy to implement justice. Therefore, if you want to make the audience excited, you must let the villains in the story be punished by [excess].

What is the penalty for overdose? The movie "Confession" is very clear. It is a matter of course to kill people to pay off debts and debts, and it is precisely because of them that I will not let you die so easily.

You killed my daughter, but I kept you alive. It's not that I cherish your rotten life, but death is not enough to punish you for your actions. It is to make you feel the panic of losing your future and life all day long, to destroy the things you have always cherished with your own hands, and to feel the pain that is more terrifying than death from the bottom of your heart.

"That's good...... "Uchiki Taniguchi muttered.

Although I already know the content of the movie, after seeing the feature film, I didn't feel bored because I learned about the spoilers, on the contrary. The director's excellent technique tells the story excellently, and it can always stir up the emotions of the audience.

When he saw the blood dripping into the milk and being drunk by the two murderers, the murder B's nervous breakdown smearing the walls with feces and urine, and the fact that the murderer A finally pressed the bomb button only to learn that his mother had died at his hands, he did have a heartbeat reaction.

Especially Yuko Moriguchi's last sentence "joking", although after this line, the movie is over, but the end is the climax, which makes Taniguchi Uchiki, who has not enjoyed suspense films and revenge movies for a long time, so refreshed.

After the movie ended, the audience left the theater one after another. Uchiki Taniguchi, on the other hand, continued to sit in the seat of the movie theater and enjoyed the wonderful feeling of watching the movie just now.

Although he can't always compare to the excitement he felt when he watched a monster movie for the first time when he was young, this "Confession" did give him the kind of feeling he hadn't experienced for a long time, and he felt the afterglow after watching a good movie.

As a suspense movie, many people care about whether the plot is logical and interlocking. And is "Confession" a movie with strict logic?

It doesn't count or not.

This movie tells the heroine Yuko Moriguchi's mental journey of revenge and the means of revenge are relatively reasonable, and the motives of the two juvenile delinquents seem absurd, but to be honest, it is in line with reality. The real world is often more ridiculous, killing people or something in order to attract the attention of others...... In reality, there are more ridiculous bastards than this, and there are still people who think that others are killing people with their own characters.

But on the other hand, there seem to be a small number of plots that feel unrealistic. For example, Mr. Moriguchi told the class about the murder of two teenagers, but there was no news at all, and the school even asked him to give a speech in public; Moriguchi put "blood" in the milk of the students in front of everyone, but no one revealed the news and was not punished in any way, and like many movies, the police seem to be absent in the movie "Confession".

However, the director has hidden these so-called "story loopholes" very well, and it is difficult to detect them if you don't deliberately observe them, and the most critical technique is the atmosphere of the black fairy tale that permeates the movie.

The movie's MV-like gorgeous film technique seems to be to create this kind of black fairy tale-like atmosphere, and it is this fairy tale color that dissolves the seriousness of "Confession" as a suspense movie, so that some logical loopholes in it are ignored by the audience.

Some film critics found out that Kei Fujiwara was so careful, so they wrote articles and gave some negative comments, feeling that Kei Fujiwara, as a person who was born as a mystery writer, could not be absolutely strict in logic, but wanted to use these tricks to coax the audience, which was a failure.

After all, logic is the most important thing in a suspense film, so such accusations seem to be reasonable.

However, Uchiki Taniguchi feels that it doesn't hurt, because in his opinion, whether it is a suspense film or a romance film, the most important thing is not the logical rigor, but whether it is interesting. No matter how well the story is written, but it is boring and boring, that is also a failure. The audience watches movies for fun, and if it is for the sake of reality, it is better to watch a documentary.

Although the movie has logical loopholes, it has been successfully dissolved by the director, which makes it impossible for people to easily perceive, which is success. It's like no one is idle to find logical errors in nonsensical comedy.

Uchiki Taniguchi thought that this movie was so interesting that Kei Fujiwara became interesting in his eyes, and he silently thought to himself: Maybe this guy can bring some fresh feelings to the film industry......

Some people died, but not completely......
