In the Korean movie "The Evil Dead" released in May last year, there was a triangular relationship in which the two male protagonists on opposite sides pursue the murderer. It is precisely because of this dramatic relationship between the characters that the dramatic conflict between the characters It can even provoke the audience's emotions while watching the movie, coupled with the fist-to-meat fight scenes and sophisticated post-production, this Quentin commented that "it is the only movie I want to see in Cannes" affirmation. In fact, such films that reverse the relationship between characters are not uncommon in foreign countries. At the beginning of the movie "The Evil Dead", I believe that the first impression of most moviegoers must be the conflict between the policeman Zheng Taixi and the gangster Zhang Dongxiu, and until the first time they cooperated, I thought that the "villain" of this movie The image is Zhang Dongxiu, and this treatment should be to better highlight the interest of the story. After the screenwriter has arranged all the storylines properly, then handing over the characters to the favorite actors to understand and shape them is actually a very good way. It is said that this kind of treatment is not uncommon, because foreign films of this kind of "camp" change are indeed very popular. For example, the TV series "The Walking Dead" in the early years still showed the contradiction between humans and zombies in the first few episodes. Later, it gradually revealed that when the end of the world comes, the most dangerous thing is actually the idea of ​​one's own kind; The same is true of the sci-fi film "The Ninth District". The protagonist slowly moved from the human camp to the alien camp, which was also caused by the loss of confidence in the same kind.

    Gangs and police are investigating cases in parallel - this darkly humorous script is actually adapted from the real thing. Murder is no more than a no-brainer, and the wicked have their own grind. Ma Dongxi, the villain who is evil on the surface, is quite cute~~~

    I feel that gangsters belong to the category of gray areas, neither black nor white, so when the police and gangs catch murderers together, the feeling of using violence to control violence is very cool. Ma Dongxi is indeed suitable to play the boss of the gang.
