In "House of Sin",
I remember the actor Xu Jinglei said that in future movies, a camera will be placed there to shoot a group of people and tell some dialogue stories. In addition to science fiction films, which need to create an imaginary world, literary and story films can still produce bright and beautiful flowers at low cost. "Sin House" is based on the play, and the enduring play is staged in west London. The British BBC made it into a TV movie. It has such a good script, the director controls it well, and presents it in a suspenseful and thrilling way, paving the way to solve the mystery, and even human nature. It is a masterpiece. The story takes place in the United States at the beginning of the 20th century. It tells the philosophy of crime and punishment, arrogance and prejudice. God incarnates as a detective to reveal the story of a woman who committed suicide because of frustration in society. In the family, there are five people in the family, and each of them has an intersection with this woman. The five people represent the "five deadly sins". The male master is greedy and loves money, the mistress is arrogant and authoritarian, the daughter is arrogant and self-willed, the son is cowardly and escapes, and the future son-in-law is selfish. Lustful, they all intersect with suicidal women to varying degrees, because their evil thoughts push women to the abyss of doom and gloom step by step. The detective representing God let them come out with the truth one by one. When the five were immersed in remorse and sadness, they thought of the detective who did not exist. Everything was a lie, he did not violate the law, and did not reflect on himself. Then the celebration begins again, and the evil of human nature resurfaces. God then let the woman die. He saw it, but he didn't save it. Perhaps leaving this world was the best fate for this tragic woman. A good work, how important the script is, an excellent director, while understanding the work, must have a pair of discerning eyes to dig out the essence of the work and make the work shine, and this film did it.

  • Arthur Birling: [about his workers] If you don't come down hard on some of these people, they'll soon be asking for the earth.

    Gerald Croft: [obsequiously] That's right.

    The Inspector: They might. But it's better to ask for the earth than to take it.

  • [last lines]

    Arthur Birling: [hanging up the phone] A girl has died. Suicide. A police inspector is on his way to ask us some questions.
