A person who cannot live without a family can do anything for the family.
From "Manslaughter" to "Manslaughter" , from Vijay played by Ajaye de Ugan to Li Weijie played by Xiao Yang, these two movies show us a family destroyed by scum, and one A father and husband who spare no effort to protect the family.
In the Chinese remake, Li Weijie, who was already exonerated, finally chose to surrender due to the pressure of "Dragon Biao", which became a helpless piece criticized by movie fans.
In the original Indian version, although Vijay vaguely told the truth at the end, the hatred of the two families is still a tragedy that cannot be resolved.
The director of the original "Manslaughter", Nissi Carter Kamath, unfortunately died young last year, and "Manslaughter 2", which tells the new story, has already assembled the original team to set up an early project.
What is the future of the Vijay family?
What many viewers don't know is that the original movie "Manslaughter" is actually a remake of itself-it is a remake of the 2013 Indian film "The Contest" .
And just this year, the director and screenwriter of "The Contest" , Jitu Joseph , put an end to this "manslaughter".
As the originator of the story of "Manslaughter" and "Manslaughter", this 2013 South Indian movie "The Contest", I believe some fans have heard about it.
This original version in 2013 is said to be inspired by Keigo Higashino. By comparison, you will find that "Manslaughter" and "The Contest" are almost exactly the same, and many shots are 1:1 re-enactments.
Perhaps the biggest difference between the two is the language-"The Contest" uses the Malayalam language of South India, which is similar to an Indian dialect. This may be the reason why it is far less influential than the "Manslaughter", which uses the official Indian language Hindi.
The male protagonist of the southern print version is named George Couty , a hardcore movie fan and cable contractor. This role is Vijay that we are familiar with later.
Six years ago, George's eldest daughter An Jiao killed the police chief Gina 's son Valen by negligence .
Through the layout of time and memory, George deceived the police who were pursuing him, and cleverly used the "Prisoner's Dilemma" to use fake corpse hiding places to wash away the suspicion.
The lies he fabricated not only eliminated his suspicion, but also aroused other residents' dissatisfaction with the police's brutal investigation. In the end, Gina took the blame and resigned and went to the United States, where the investigation came to an end.
Six years later, the Georges family has become a well-known big family in the town, and a new story begins here.
Over the years, he worked, borrowed money, bought land, built a movie theater of his own, became the owner of the theater, and made a lot of money.
However, this man who had spared no effort to save his family is now facing a serious family crisis.
His wife, Renee, was dissatisfied that George had invested all the money he made to make movies and write scripts. The location of the body that George kept silent and let no one talk about it also made her panic all day long.
What's more serious is that the eldest daughter An Jiao is suffering from mental trauma.
Although the family was worried, George, who was well-informed, knew that the truth under the police station floor would never be discovered for a lifetime.
The development of things is certainly not that simple. The screenwriter inserted an accident in their lives-eyewitnesses.
On the night six years ago, a guy named Jose killed his brother-in-law. On the way to escape, he passed the police station and vaguely saw George who was leaving.
After seeing George, he was arrested and imprisoned within two steps. Jose, who had no knowledge of the manslaughter of the Georges family, was released from prison only six years later.
On the other hand, the Gina and his wife are eager to retrieve the bones of their son, so that they can pray for their deceased son's deathbed prayer in line with their religious beliefs.
Although George had previously implied that people were gone, the Gina and his wife insisted on seeing people or corpses alive. But no matter what kind of pleading, George, who was dedicated to protecting his family, could not let go of the location of the body.
Although there was no clue for several years, the police station that worked with the Gina and his wife was also "a bitch eats weight"-determined to catch George.
After secretly evading the court, they have been investigating secretly for several years. Not only the whole house monitors and stalks, but even the activities of undercover conversations are arranged.
The deliberate undercover agent finally confirmed the murder from Renee, and the threat was imminent.
It was only at this time that the witness Jose suddenly realized what he had seen that day. For the high reward, he decided to inform the police.
Witnesses and confessions were all available. According to Jose, the police dug up the floor of the police station and found the bones of a young man.
There is hard evidence that the truth that has been buried for many years will finally be seen again?
George will guarantee it "never day".
George Couty, who was not a turtle in the urn, took six years to set the overall picture this time. The seemingly inconspicuous details such as friends, scripts, etc. have once again become a coup to defeat "Iron Proof"...
This sequel, "Contest 2", created by the original crew 7 years later, can be regarded as the end of the "manslaughter" story. It's a pity that the full stop of the picture of the gourd painting is really a bit abstract.
This veritable sequel movie has a full 152 minutes. Although it is 12 minutes shorter than the first one, it looks stinky and long.
The director tried his best to depict the new life in the shadow of the Georges in the previous hour, trying to explain that "exemption from sin does not mean freedom."
Such a tiresome description, in the state where the key figure Jose appeared early, can be said to make the audience feel more anxious. Until the singing sounded at 1 hour, the movie could be considered to have entered the main topic-eyewitnesses appeared.
Like the previous work, the director also made a lot of paving this time to pave the way for the subsequent reversal of size.
It's just that these details are far from being as tight as the first part, and they appear to be broken and stubborn. Jose’s personal life is dispensable, and the forced witnesses and more dramatic layout are also hard to convince.
The police station has been obsessed with a pending case for many years, and has spent so much effort to plant an undercover, which has made it difficult for the audience to convince the audience.
The new game set up by George is called "Mission Impossible" in the southern print version. It is not only more complicated than a time puzzle, but also requires an unimaginable ultra-high power of action-reverse osmosis, undercover, and counter-surveillance.
Even the characters in the movie can't help but want to ask: "How can he be such an amazing person?"
The only new detail worth savoring is the difference in the attitudes of the residents of the town: the neighbors now hate the wealthy George because they envy and hate him.
Rumors and dark suspicions of George's murder are circulating in the public. He can no longer get any help from these people. It is precisely because of this that the police's restart of the investigation can receive support and cooperation.
The protagonist is still acquitted and successful in "Contest 2", bringing the unsuccessful manslaughter case to an end, and the wit remains the same, but in terms of suspense and overall quality, it is unavoidable that the previous work is difficult to match.
But the unexpected value of "Contest 2" is that its theme inadvertently proves that the revised ending of "Manslaughter" is not useless.
George Couty successfully concealed the crime for the first time, but because of guilt in his heart, he hinted to Gina the fact of the murder.
Cool! But what is the price?
His wife is in a state of anxiety all the time, her daughter is suffering from police PTSD, and vicious rumors and strange looks around her continue.
Exemption does not mean freedom . They accepted unexpected punishments and suffered endless torture both physically and mentally.
At the end, Gina let go of everything to resolve her grievances, she will continue to bear the pain of losing her son, and on the other hand, the punishment of fate on George has not yet ended.
It took six years to convict this time. How many years and how much will he spend to prepare for the next conviction?
George's panic all day long is just hidden under deep thought, and his days are just as difficult every day.
Judging from the presentation and interpretation of punishment in "Battle 2", Li Weijie's surrender in "Manslaughter" can be regarded as an early relief.
For this family, this is also a "good" ending.
