The new policeman came to the police station. Vijay happened to be sitting in the police station, his eyes closed, as if full of melancholy. A colleague from the police station began to tell the new policeman about Vijay’s "deeds". The new policeman said in confusion, "I don't think he looks like a bad person." The camera turned to Vijay, his eyes full of melancholy, but It also contains a lot of other content, and I looked at the camera restlessly, making me think he was a criminal who was caught in the police station. Afterwards, Vijay opened and closed his eyes, and time returned when he was watching a movie in the office. The exciting crash scene made him involuntarily stop the younger brother who was coming.
The fourth grade of elementary school, middle class, wives and daughters, these can be used as labels on Vijay. But what can best be called the characteristic is that Vijay likes to watch movies and enjoys the time of watching movies alone. When he watched a movie, he always put the phone aside, held his breath, and devoted himself to the plot of the movie, which became the biggest foreshadowing of the movie. The skills he learned from the film became a booster to promote the development of the storyline.
At the beginning of the film, the conflict between Vijay and Gautude is revealed. The old couple who satirized Gautude and did not pay for food, helped his son go to jail innocently, and bluntly said that the police did nothing. Vijay’s "good deeds" deepened his conflict with Gautude bit by bit, and even the villagers showed this. Amid the faint worry, I couldn't help reminding Vijay. This conflict evolves into a struggle between the two sides following the occurrence of the Sam incident.
In the Sam incident, in addition to his own wisdom, Vijay also cleverly used multiple points-the conflict with Gotude, the support of the villagers, and the collapse of Mira, all of which became the key to the success of his final plan to hide from the sky.
1. Make an alibi
It happened on October 2nd. As usual, Vijay put the phone aside and was immersed in the plot of the movie. The heavy rain outside the window symbolized the occurrence of an unusual event, but it also isolated him from the outside world. Going home in the early morning of October 3, Vijay saw his panicked wife and daughter, and realized what kind of panic the wife and daughter experienced during the heavy rain yesterday. Vijay told his family to clean up the accident site and stay at home not to go out. He took away the SIM card, drove away Sam's car, and began to implement his plan. He bought an old phone, installed a SIM card and threw the phone into the truck. He drove the car to the abandoned quarry and pushed it into the lake. One person watches movies, stays in a hotel, eats, and keeps all four people's bills. In the process of doing all this, all kinds of movie scenes emerged in his mind. In the end, Vijay reminded everyone repeatedly that their family went to Panaji to listen to the scriptures from October 2nd to 3rd. His only mistake in this process was that Gautude saw him driving Sam's car, but because of the contradiction between the two, this error later became Gautude's deliberately planting excuses.
2. Scene presetting and rehearsal
Vijay gave the family emergency inquiry training, and even considering the inconsistency of his confession, he explained to his daughter clearly in advance about the possible beatings. He presupposed all possible situations and conducted drills. The subsequent extortion, beatings, and mental oppression all happened as if they were conjectured and verified. Even the youngest daughter would say it in advance because he couldn't stand the torture, Vijay also considered it, so he moved the body. The little daughter woke up in a thunderstorm and witnessed the burial of her sister and mother. The panic made her memory more profound. Considering the child’s innocence and unsteady will, in the design of the corpse transfer step, Vijay concealed his wife and daughter, so it became a natural move for the youngest daughter to tell where the corpse was hidden under pressure. This is what Vijay wanted. This kind of undisguised, this will become a powerful "weapon" for his counterattack. The cover-up flowers, the pits in the yard, and the rancid smell of the corpse, just when everyone thought the truth was about to be revealed, Vijay once again showed his foresight-the corpse was moved. The eyes of the wife and eldest daughter were full of shock and doubt. This setting not only makes the whole plot compact, but also promotes another climax.
3. Extraordinary memories of details
Environmental advocates told Vijay that the quarry was shut down and that there was an abandoned lake in the quarry-this became a great place for Vijay to abandon Sam's car. When the car was found, the lake had washed away all traces of the crime.
When the car was thrown, Vijay saw the poster of Panaji's lecture at the entrance of the tunnel. Later, Vijay went to the lecture place alone and forged the alibi of the family. In hotels, ordering meals, and movie theaters, Vijay collected bills from several locations. He even went to the ATM to withdraw money at a certain point in time and let the camera take a picture of himself. The entire itinerary is meticulous and without omissions. The narration of the content of the lectures, the deliberate reminders of the people he met, and the good popularity of Vijay's usual popularity, the credibility of everything he said has become even higher.
The contractor told Vijay that the floor of the new police station would be laid on Monday-so Vijay transferred Sam's body to the new police and buried the truth in the ground forever. Vijay cannot be convicted if he can't find the body, even though he implicitly admitted at the end of the film that he had taken the action of "destroying the corpse" in order to protect his family, but Mira, who had a mental breakdown, was thinking about the whereabouts of her son. Mila, whose fragility is exposed, is no longer Vijay's "rival".
4. Clever use of public opinion
The good popularity that Vijay accumulated on weekdays became his indispensable assist in this "Hidden from Heaven". The contradiction between him and Gotude is seen by everyone, and they are emotionally inclined to Vijay's villager promoters and public opinion is directed towards Vijay.
Under Gautude’s violent confession, the youngest daughter confessed the "truth", and Milla took a group of people to Vijay’s house to dig up the body. While the villagers gathered around and worried about the fate of the Vijay family, they also expressed dissatisfaction with the police system. The turning point was the dog's corpse dug up in the yard. The formerly dominant Mila took the charge of "bullying the weak". The already one-sided masses began to express their dissatisfaction strongly, and Vijay immediately seized the opportunity to counterattack. First of all, the use of Gautude to violently extract a confession from his youngest daughter aroused the indignation of the masses, which led to Gautude's siege and even his dismissal. Secondly, he relied on the media that he had asked his brother-in-law to contact in advance, exposing the improper operation of Mila and others who abused their private power and the ills of the police system during the entire incident. The two-step operation amplifies the painful protection of Vijay as a father to the family throughout the incident, as well as the family's innocent stand and oppression in the case.
One day after the matter calmed down, the police came to the door again, and the neighbor ran over quickly after seeing it, looked at the police vigilantly, and asked if Vijay needed help. This detail alone is enough to explain the advantage of public opinion to Vijay at that time.
Throughout the film, Vijay is not the only person with an online IQ. Sam's mother, Milla guessed everything. The years of the prosecutor's career gave Milla a very professional acumen. She faintly felt that Sam's disappearance was "planned" by Vijay. Following her narration, Vijay's design is presented like a movie screening. The time and place were all pinched just right. Mira's wisdom and meticulous thoughts made people unable to help but scream. It was a pity that she had no evidence, only speculation, even though this speculation was already inseparable.
Aiko’s eager Mila used private power to force a confession from Vijay’s family. The more innocent Vijay’s family behaved, the more disturbed Mira was and the more she wanted to verify her conjecture. In my opinion, the uniform represents Mira’s Reasonable, she is fierce in uniform, tough and sensible. In later shots, Mira has been wearing casual clothes, and from the beginning, she has gradually relied on her husband. The fragility of being a mother gradually replaced the toughness of being the chief prosecutor. In the end, Mira ended the tug-of-war with Vijay with "prays and tears."
At the end of the film, Vijay got up from his chair and walked in front of the director. The director vowed to catch Vijay's handle, and Vijay responded calmly with a mocking compliment. After Vijay walked out of the police station, the biggest mystery was revealed. The two scenes overlap, one is the new police station that has not been completed at night, and the other is the new police station that has changed a group of people during the day. The overlapping fragments tell us: Vijay buried Sam's body under the police station on Sunday, and the next day was the date when the police station floor was completed. Unless the police station is renovated, this secret will no longer be known, and the police station will obviously not be renovated in a short period of time. The current chief will leave after two years, and the next group of people will not pursue this matter. This time, his half-closed eyes were filled with the confidence and security that the dust had settled down.
