nice!
Fortunately, the director's skills are good. Two events are compiled into three stories to tell.
two events
An incident: The rich man and the betrayal photographer and heroine are in the same room. The heroine dies, murdered in a secret room, and the hero refuses to admit guilt. Who is the real murderer?
There is another forgotten incident: half a year ago, a young man in the village disappeared, and on the basis of a bank card loan, it is inferred that he may have absconded in fear of crime. Where are their people?
three stories
The first story: the incomplete story.
The heroine is dead, the secret room is murdered, and I don't know who the murderer is.
The story at the beginning of the film:
The rich man and the photographer woman have an affair. When they plan to break up, they accidentally hit and kill a young man on a country road. After that, the two of them work together to sink the car (others' car) and destroy the car (their own car). Reported that his car was stolen, fabricated evidence that he was in Paris at the time, and created an alibi. Back when the two protagonists worked together to deal with the car accident, the male protagonist went to deal with the corpse and the car, and the female protagonist kept it waiting for rescue to repair her car, but when she met the father of the young man who died unexpectedly, the old father kindly brought the female protagonist together. The car was towed home, and the old mother kept the hostess for dinner with all kinds of hospitality. By the way, she explained that her father was a former employee of BMW (who knew very well about cars) and her mother was a former actor of the troupe (big ambush, big boss). The characteristics and identities of the characters have been explained, and then it is time for the director to shake the burden and the audience to guess.
The male protagonist returned to normal life and broke up with the female protagonist; the parents of the young man who died unexpectedly reported the disappearance of their son, the police tracked them down, and the protagonist asked a lawyer to create perjury; the male protagonist had a good career and family, and the father of the young man who died unexpectedly pretended to be a reporter to publish He will question why the male protagonist killed his son, and was taken away from the event without any evidence and evidence; however, the male and female protagonists received a threat signal, and the two went to a hotel hundreds of kilometers away with cash to make an appointment... male protagonist I received a text message from the cell phone of the female host in the same room. After that, the police crashed into the room. The male lead was unconscious, the female lead was dead, there were banknotes all over the floor, and the doors and windows were closed. Who is the murderer?
Second Story: Fake Story.
The heroine died, and the young man who died unexpectedly before was the murderer because of revenge.
The lawyer (the fake lawyer played by the actor mother of the young man who died unexpectedly) combines some clues and details from the first story to help the rich man compile a story that will convince the judge and jury. The essence is to demonstrate his ability to successfully defend himself through storytelling and gain the trust of the male protagonist, thereby triggering him to tell hidden facts, that is, true stories.
The third story: a true story that connects two events.
The female protagonist is dead, and the male protagonist is the murderer. Because of selfishness, he kills for his own fame and fortune. Another murder that was hidden behind it was also revealed.
Half a year ago, a rich man accidentally killed a young man, but he used money power to bury the truth. After the incident, the male protagonist broke up with the female protagonist, and his career and family were even better, and he even harmed the young man who absconded for the money. The female protagonist's conscience found out that when she was suffering, she intended to expose the male protagonist, but was killed by him.
four warnings
1. The elderly should not move to the countryside.
Because your child will go with you in order to take care of you or enjoy the good life you have created, but his friends are not there. When he needs to be social, it is too hard to go out. During the driving, anything can happen, for example: he is playing with his mobile phone while driving, killing an oncoming cheating man and woman who are arguing, and then he is the one who dies, and the family continues to be beautiful Life and business are on the rise. At this time, as a lonely old man without a successor, you can only think about how to catch the real murderer and take revenge.
2. Young people should not use mobile phones while driving.
Because your parents moved to the country to enjoy a better life, since you want to follow along, take good care of yourself. Driving out to find friends to play, of course OK! Don't wear a seatbelt and play with a mobile phone. If you don't die, you will crash into the car of a wealthy man and a lover photographer who are arguing and don't drive well. However, they are clearly fainted by two selfish guys. Even people and cars sank into the lake. This is your own grief.
Obviously, your father kindly rescued the photographer female lead and helped to repair the car, but what he got was the false impression that the other party framed you for fleeing with money. If you drive well and follow the traffic rules and don't play with your mobile phone, even if the other party occupies your lane, stop or change the lane immediately, you won't die!
Of course, this is the director's arrangement, and it is for the audience to see. Half a year ago, if you don't die, you won't have to act for the next 120 minutes...
3. Once the rich cheat, the dominoes begin to fall.
Because you want a sweet wife and cute baby and a charming lover, and one day you suddenly realize that you only want the former, but the latter will not? Quarrel! The quarrel was so distracting, he didn't follow the navigator in his car, he walked in someone else's way and hit others, and even sunk his car into a lake. Instead of calling the police, he asked a lawyer to forge an alibi, and even took the young man's wallet. , using other people's ID cards and bank cards to forge the illusion of absconding, so that the police can't classify the case as a missing person. However, there is an actor mother who pretends to be your defense lawyer, and in 180 minutes will let you explain the scandals and evils of the past six months.
4. Actors with good acting skills, don't mess with them! If you dare to kill her son, then you are done!
The mother of the young man who used to be an actor in the troupe controls the criminal evidence of the murderer male lead, and takes the risk of disguising himself as the male lead's defense lawyer.
First of all, the appearance of the cross-dressing is very successful, almost exactly the same.
Second, actors are no less than lawyers in observing the behavior of their counterparts. The actor's mother is convinced that the male protagonist is a murderer. She seizes the only thought of the male protagonist who just wants to avoid prison, and constantly forces him to tell the truth. Once there is a criticism or a lie, he immediately throws out the truth of the inference, making him fear and convince him. In the end, the male protagonist could only tell the actor's mother, and even open his heart, to tell the truth a little proudly that the young man did not die before the sinking of the car. When the actor's mother was distressed, she still calmly performed until the curtain call and exited - took away the recorder and evacuated the room.
The two best places:
The translation is great.
Invisible guests, superficial meaning: murder in a secret room, the invisible murderer; deep meaning: real actors and fake lawyers, the male protagonist thinks the interview is a defense lawyer, no, 180 minutes later, they will tell you that she is the teenager you hit and killed Damn, you're a troupe actor, and you don't even see who your guests are!
There's a camera cut that's great.
The young man who died unexpectedly, his father pretended to be a reporter to question the male protagonist, why did he wrong his son? The lighter was thrown into the pool, and then switched to the scene where the car sinks into the lake, which is the imaginary picture of the male protagonist recalling his bad deeds. Here, the plot is connected, allowing the audience to imagine and believe that the old father should be the real murderer of the secret room murder, to take revenge; also through the performance to portray the character of the character, it is clear that the male protagonist murders, drowns corpses, perjures, and framed others, but still looks on his face. It's normal, innocent, and it makes the audience more emotional. Maybe he really has to? However, suspense movies can't be played like this! It must be reversed. Sure enough, a third true story was then reversed.
In fact, there are many bugs...
Three stories were told and four points of view were thrown out, but they could not stand up to scrutiny.
For example:
The places that cannot be brought, such as the father of a young man who died unexpectedly, can’t let the police catch the rich male protagonist, saying that you have money and can make an alibi. In Spain, I can’t say in Paris, because you have money. I can't fight you.
Where to talk about evidence, such as a young man's actor mother pretending to be a lawyer to infer that the rich man has done bad things, she said, don't think that there is money in this world, there are surveillance everywhere, you call the lover and the heroine is just like Outdoors, surveillance is watching you.
So then, in the former case, where did the monitoring go?
Take the second example:
Deliberately playing suspense. At the beginning of the story, a strange doll appeared on the floor of the hotel room where the murder was carried out in the secret room. After that, the young man died. There were similar dolls in his parents' house. This made the audience suspect that the real murderers of the heroine were parents First, because of the need for revenge... But after that, the doll appeared many times, one time when the doll accidentally fell when the murderer was unknown, one time a man killed the heroine with a doll, and one time the young man's mother appeared when he was in a hotel this doll...
However, at the end of the story, there was no explanation for the doll. He clearly gave it so many shots. Is it really good for the director to handle special props like this? Certainly not if it was Hitchcock, which will eventually explain what it does and why. A good director will not abuse any character, scene, line, or even a prop.
...
Hey, hey, there are still several bugs. We must explain the unreasonableness carefully, and we have to brush it twice.
However, I won't watch this movie again.
BONUS: The story told by the fake lawyer was a good one
