The two pieces have an inheritance relationship. Except for the husband’s method of murdering his wife, the style of home decoration is Chinese style. The first prop in "Super" that attracted my attention was the beautiful China in the heroine's room. After that, I noticed the Chinese-style chair (official hat chair?) in the study. Even the painting on the wall of the heroine’s mother’s house is similar to an ink painting style. The house in Electricity is a bit cramped, but it is also decorated With celadon vases and blue-and-white vases and white Chinese-style chairs, it seems that Chinese-style things still reflect taste in the eyes of the western middle class, just like Chinese buying European-style furniture, the monks outside will chant sutras.
In addition, there are many things that prove that 40 years have passed. The first is that the main character's house has been expanded several times, and the husband's money for the murderer's life. 40 years ago, the husband could buy his wife’s life for only 1,000 pounds, but 40 years later, the price has risen to 500,000 US dollars.
Another evolution is the humanity of several key characters. For the shaping of the murderer, "Super" combines the traits of the murderer in "Dian" that deceive women with the wife’s lover and reshapes the original seemingly simple For the sake of love, even a silly mystery novelist's lover role has been transformed in a complicated manner. On the one hand, there is a love element, but on the other hand, it is timid and greedy.
The role of the husband has also been greatly adjusted. He is also the murderer in the murder of his wife, but the original husband is more sinister and greedy. With the mistakes of the case, he can adjust at any time. If he can't make a plan and make a living, he has to force his wife to make a living. On the road to death. When we see him standing next to the sofa, pushing his old classmates step by step with a leisurely tone on the road to murder, or saying something confusing in front of the police, it makes people feel creepy. Such a man is terrible! The new version of the husband has obviously forgotten the purpose of murdering his wife after seeing his wife killing the murderer. Instead, he was so busy trying to clean up his identity as the murderer, which makes people feel a little ridiculous.
The biggest adjustment is the role of the wife. This seems to reflect that 40 years later, women occupy a higher position in society and have more room for expression. The wife 40 years ago was just a simple victim and was The husband was murdered and completely ignorant at the time of the murder. When he was wronged and sentenced to be hanged, he just stared innocently. He didn't think at all. From the beginning to the end, he didn't have any questions about the husband's strange behavior, just waiting for others to come. To save her, she usually doesn't think about labor at home. She talks about love all day long, cuts newspapers, and feels like a heroine of a Qiong Yao drama, so soft and weak, making people mourn her misfortune and anger her. The new version of the wife is a social woman who has her own job and contacts, has her own knowledge of things, does not completely rely on anyone, and strives to control her own destiny. And 40 years later, society has given a new mission to the female role, giving her the opportunity to personally verify where the suspicious key came from, allowing her to investigate her husband’s financial situation, and use others at the right time. They all feel that women have the advantage of being weak, and to solve their bad marriages, all of this is determined by women's own choices, and they do not rely on anyone.
The role of a police detective is crucial in the original version, and it is related to whether the play is a social ethical drama or an important role in a comedy. In the new version, it has changed from a great benefactor to saving his wife to a secondary role in awakening her. The role is also the reason why women 40 years later do not need any man's rescue, they can take my own destiny.
Another difference between the two dramas is the amount of blood shed. In the previous films, whether it was murder or horror, the director used blood carefully. In the original version, the murderer was killed and there was not a drop of blood for the audience to see. In the new version, blood was shed everywhere. The modern population is getting heavier and heavier. It’s not addictive if you don’t see a bit of blood. Fortunately, the director hasn’t gotten guts yet, and will be filmed in another 40 years. I don’t know what the murderer will be like.
Undoubtedly, both films are successful, allowing us to clearly see the mark of 40 years of society. This is called reversing new ideas. I hope that Chinese remakes will also learn something. Don’t make people feel that every time they are remakes. The original film has become an unsurpassed classic.
