Dang Dang Dang Dang is now officially announcing that the Internet has become my most comfortable suspense film of the year!
If I were to make a subjective rating of suspense films, Mystery on the Internet would definitely rank in the top five in the category of making people feel comfortable.
Why, because he is too "routine".
"Routine" here is not a derogatory term, but a compliment. Because in this era of aesthetic fatigue of suspense films, when most suspense films are relying on other ways to make their debut, it is really touching to have a director who can honestly follow the rules.
I'm really fed up with novel ideas and alternative settings, because this kind of movie can only lead to two kinds of results, either it is good at the peak or it is bad at the bottom. It's like carrying a ticking, sealed gift box in your arms, whether it's a gift or a bomb, and as long as you don't fully open it, you won't know the final answer. Although this is very exciting, it is not so pleasant to have a string stretched all the time.
The beginning of the film is in the form of a diary, introducing the warmth of a family from the beginning, to the sadness of the mother's illness and death, and finally the lack of communication between father and daughter. There are no flashbacks or interludes, and there is only a clear timeline, which makes a super perfect pavement for the next story.
Just seeing this makes me want to cry, how can such a clear narrative not be moved.
The next step is the disappearance of the daughter, the father investigates, and through social networks, he begins to understand the daughter's life and find clues from it. In this section, I want to praise the director even more. I haven't seen such a kind director for a long time. The foreshadowing is clear and clear, so clear that if I don't suspect it is a foreshadowing, I'm sorry for the director's intention. And because each clue can perfectly correspond to the previous foreshadowing, you don't need to let the people in the movie answer it for you when you watch the movie. As long as you watch it carefully, you can make a reasonable guess before the ending. Who is the murderer.
Compared with the hidden key clues of other suspense films and the misleading setting of thinking, the director not only did not do anything in the film, but even every time he found new clues, the director's camera shot was very slow to give a close-up. The tenderness of the audience's IQ is fully considered, how can the audience not bear it?
Not to mention that in fact, the film also adopts a novel shooting method, and discusses the most concerned young people's issues nowadays, campus isolation, addiction to the Internet, offline friendship... The director seriously shows a story that will definitely appear in reality, This is not a one in ten thousand chance event, this is a story that will appear around you and me.
Of course, having said so much, this movie is not without its shortcomings. His shortcomings are that every word I praise him is too well-behaved and too friendly to the audience, so that he is destined to not become a so-called brain-burning masterpiece. After all, every suspense film lover will easily find the foreshadowing, because these foreshadowings are too shallow, which makes the subsequent reversal unsurprising, and loses the interesting part of the suspense film.
PS: The shortcomings mentioned above are only minor ones. The flaws do not hide the advantages. The minor flaws cannot cover up this very good commercial suspense film. The rhythm is suitable, the logic is clear, there is no confusion, no tricks, and the director leads the audience Clear the fog and find out the truth, which in itself is a very happy thing.
