Don't underestimate the movie

At the beginning of the film, it was questioned. In front of the veterans of literature and drama, the film can only be regarded as a "trick." Think of this as magic. Later, George Mélière really turned magic in the movie, but it has been 120 years since the movie has developed, and it has long since turned from magic to art and industry.
Although the film industry has experienced declines and crises since the development of the film industry, filmmakers have survived the past and left countless classics handed down. Why can the film continue to develop, even in the current hot spot? I think the reason lies in the advancement of the film with the times and the multi-functionality of the film. Movies are shot for the audience. What kind of psychological needs the audience have, the film will provide the satisfaction of this demand, so the movie has an audience base and a market, but the audience’s appetite is constantly changing, which requires The filmmakers must have a keen sense of smell and be able to grasp such changes at all times to make changes. The leap in film technology is one of the changes. From film to digital, from silent to sound, from black and white to color, from 3D to IMAX, special effects have become more and more dazzling, motion capture has become increasingly mature, picture quality and sound effects have gradually become more dazzling. Going to the extreme, the movie is not just watching, but an all-round audio-visual feast.
Why do people walk into the cinema to watch movies? Some people say that movies can bring happiness to people, and there are many reasons for this happiness. For example, the film itself is a comedy, and the language and actions of the characters make people laugh. For example, the film praises love, sings friendship, and portrays family relationships. The endings are beautiful. For example, the actor of the film is a heartthrob, the director of the film has a solid reputation, or the story of the film is full of expectations. These all constitute the joy of people walking into the cinema. Some people say that movies can bring inspiration and resonance to people. They always feel that a certain character in the movie is themselves. The process of watching a movie is a process of self-examination and self-reflection. This feeling is wonderful. When the movie ends, they Still immersed in the movie, because the movie itself is a real life. Others say that the movie is a knife, inserted into their hearts, the pain is unforgettable.
Movies like a knife often talk about human nature, which can pierce the hearts of the audience. For example, movies like "The Hunt", "Suyuan", and "The Defender", the Indian film "Manslaughter", which I will talk about in this article, also So it is.
This movie gives people a lot of thinking, mainly in three aspects. The first is the importance of family to a person. For many people, there is no home without a home, and there is no meaning to live. The protagonist of this film, Vijay, is such a person who values ​​family more than life. He tried his best to protect his family from the outside world. This spirit is worth moving. The second is the love of parents for their children. The word "love" also has a degree of degree. Love is not as much as possible. In this film, the love of Sam’s parents, Mira and Mahas, for Sam, is a bit overwhelming. At the end, Mira is the inspector-general, Mahes is also a high-ranking official, Sam obviously belongs to the second generation of officials, and Sam is the only son they finally gave birth to, and the two are extremely fond of them, so Sam is a fool. , The situation of causing trouble, such love is terrible. Third, as a fourth-grade dropout, Vijay came up with such a careful plan to hide from the sky, which is really amazing. Of course, this is due to the movie, which taught Vijay the way to protect his family. Vijay said, You can learn everything in the movie. Passing the exam can't teach you anything, but the movie can.
It can be seen that movies have the function of imparting knowledge. In the movie, we can enjoy the famous mountains and rivers, go back to the past, move into the future, understand the lifestyles of others, appreciate the emotions of others, keep up with the trend of the times, and see the cutting-edge of technology. But movies also have a vigilant side. For example, the "Young and Dangerous" series once set off a bloody storm among the younger generation, and the blind follow-up that brought turmoil to society is also to be blamed on the movie.
The power of film cannot be ignored.
The reason why "Manslaughter and Hideaway" is so wonderful is all in the word "hidden".
When An Jiu missed Sam with a stick, the always peaceful family merged with the heavy rain that night. Faced with this kind of personal threat, the mother and daughter tried their best to plead, but they couldn’t shake Sam’s evil heart in the slightest. Picking up a stick to defend itself was nothing wrong with it, but if you missed a kill, the plot became serious. This is moral and moral. The contradiction that the law can never reconcile is not a simple right or wrong question, but a complicated debate question.
Facing such a problem, Vijay's thinking is very clear, that is, to protect his family, how to protect it? Vijay quickly found his target for help-the movie.
The overall structure of the film is reminiscence. As soon as the opening scene, Weijie is now in the newly built police station, and the camera starts to turn to his close-up, from the upper body to the face to the eyes, and then back to the previous point in time. He is watching the movie. An action movie about motorcycle chase. This is the first appearance of this tool in the movie, and the first use of the movie was in Martin’s restaurant. The son of a couple was illegally taken away by police officer Gotude because he could not repay the loan. Vijay advised them to use habeas corpus. , And the concept of habeas corpus is exactly what he learned in the movie.
And Vijay has learned a lot in the movie, which runs through his whole plan of hiding from heaven.
Step 1: Bury the corpse in the compost pit in the yard, clean up the crime scene, and pick up the SIM card (handling the corpse and destroying evidence are all pediatrics in crime movies. The SIM card is a police movie because of its tracking function. One of the necessary tools for the police to track fugitives).
Step 2: Deal with Sam’s car (While Vijay is driving Sam’s car, he quickly flips through the movie footage that destroyed the car, or makes a car accident, collides with several cars, or drives down a cliff, or drives In the river, according to the actual situation, Vijay chose the lake of the quarry), bought a mobile phone, installed Sam's card, and threw the mobile phone into a truck.
Step 3: Go to Panaji alone, bought butterbread, bought three movie tickets, withdrawn money at the ATM, and bought three return tickets (the purpose of this step is to keep the ticket stub and prove the lie to the Vijay family The person was in Panaji on June 3 and returned by car on the same day, and the ATM surveillance also further proved that Vijay did go to Panaji on June 3. This step was to create physical evidence, which was obviously from a crime movie. Come).
Step 4: Take the whole family to Panaji on June 4, and leave a personal card on the road. The specific method is to say that they are going to Panaji to listen to the scriptures when you see a person, including the bus conductor and the restaurant. The owner, hotelier, movie theater projectionist, and repeated the things Vijay did on June 3, such as buying butter bread, watching a movie, and then returning by car. The hotel record was secretly written by Vijay, and his name was added to No. 2, and room No. 4 used a pseudonym. In addition, he ordered the DVD of Goma Yande’s lecture on June 2. Of course, he used a pseudonym. After returning home, the family watched the DVD carefully and learned the content of the lecture (Vijay’s The meticulousness of the mind has reached the point of nitpicking, it can be said that there is no flaw, this is the usual style of excellent crime films).
Step 5: Adjust the family's mentality, confess with the family members, unify the caliber, ensure that there are no mistakes in the police inquiry, and emphasize that no matter how strong the police are, they must not let go (in fact, the police will quickly pass the car, mobile phone, camping list These clues pinpointed Vijay’s suspicion. First, he found Vijay’s daughter, An Jiu, and went to the principal’s room for questioning. An Jiu answered perfectly. The police went to Vijay’s house to investigate. Vijay took out physical evidence, but the police had nothing to do. Then Mila, under the affirmation of Gautude, interrogated the four members of Vijay's family separately, but the confessions of the four were completely the same, and even the youngest daughter Anu insisted on her opinion).
Step 6: After more than 20 days, I once again mentioned the lecture in front of the assistant Husse and the restaurant owner Martin, and again took a family of four to Panaji, and talked with all the people who had been in contact on June 4. Meet again, and reiterate that they came to Panaji to listen to the scriptures on June 2 When Jie recounted, they felt that something was going on, but the time was uncertain, but Vijay again emphasized that the time was June 2 Corresponding to this time on June 2nd, this is Vijay’s brilliance. He wooed car conductors, hotel owners, restaurant owners, cinema projectionists and other people and became his effective witnesses. There are too many lies. It has become a fact).
Through the above six steps, Vijay produced the personal and physical evidence that his family listened to in Panaji on June 2 and 3, which ruled out the suspicion of contacting Sam. As an inspector-general, Mirak With his intuition and reasoning ability, he saw through Vijay's secret plan, but he couldn't find the slightest evidence. The angry Mira took away Vijay's family again. Unable to bear her temper, she directly used torture to extract a confession. Gao Tude became her torturer. Gao Tude can be described as a scum in the scum, and a complete villain. He didn’t give money for food, and even embezzled the contractor’s money privately. He was embezzled and domineering. He did not hesitate to brutally beat Vijay, Nandini, and An Jiu, but the three of them were very determined and defended. The faith of the whole family was unwavering, and never revealed a single word. In desperation, the inhumane Gao Tude turned his attention to his little daughter Anu. He did not let the little girl go. It was precisely this utter conscience. With one of the tricks, Gautude got Anu's confession.
At this point in the movie, viewers might think that Vijay’s plan was ruined. After all, he failed to contain the fire, but in fact this was a false alarm set by the screenwriter, because it was dug out from the compost pit where the body was supposed to be buried. Yes, it is the remains of a dog.
This is Vijay's meticulousness again. He adheres to a principle that only he can know the truth of some things. Everyone’s trust in others is not 100%, even family members, only their trust in themselves can be unwavering, so he kept a hand, and he privately transferred the corpse to the newly built police station. No one else knows the secret, he will keep this secret until his death, because this secret is related to the safety of his family.
One cannot live without a home, it can do anything for the home.
The Vijay family was beaten violently, and what was even more unbearable was that the youngest daughter Anu was not spared either. When the evidence in the compost pit was not valid, he launched a counterattack. He knew the power of the masses and justice in public opinion. In front of the media, he denounced the atrocities of the frenzied police officers such as Gao Tud, so the fists of the masses fell on the heinous bad guys, which caused him to suffer and was repaid. Once the incident was exposed, the policemen involved were punished, and Mira and Mahes were also suspended. It can be said that Vijay won the battle.
And the biggest contributor to his victory is the movie. The film taught him to be meticulous, to set traps, to turn unfavorable situations into favorable evidence, and to comprehend by analogy. This credit should be attributed to the suspense film. Counting those suspense masters, Hitchcock was the first to bear the brunt. Nowadays, Nolan and David • Vinci, David Lynch, and Brian de Palma are outstanding, they can always discover a point that makes the viewer's eyes wide open, suddenly enlightened or thumped, and then marveled at the incredible truth. "Manslaughter" is also amazing enough, it deeply reflects the teaching role of the film, and Vijay is not using the film to commit crimes, but to protect himself and his family, which is even more gratifying.
So, don't underestimate the movie, the movie can bring us more than entertainment.
At the end of the film, Mira and Mahes meet Vijay as their parents. They hope Vijay will tell the truth. They blame themselves, apologize, and are heartbroken, but it's too late. Vijay said, I’m just a fourth-grade dropout. My family is everything I have, but one day an uninvited guest wanted to destroy all of this, so a tragedy happened. I want to say countless times I’m sorry for causing you pain. But this is the end of the matter. I will do whatever it takes for my family. At that moment, I can't tell the difference between right and wrong.
