Wei Jiahui came back with his whimsical. Liu Qingyun in "The Detective" has the talent to see the dark side of others' hearts, and these dark sides have been turned into concrete demons by Wei Jiahui. The seven demons of Lin Jiadong, male and female, have different images. Lin Xue is greedy and timid, Zhang Zhaohui is impulsive and fierce, Liu Jinling is calm and cunning... They will cooperate with each other, fight alone, and conflict with each other, such as Lin and An Zhijie in the restaurant. The conversation with Liu Qingyun in the toilet. What's interesting is that human nature is like a heart demon, an equal existence. Lin Jiadong's nature is lost in the woods after the gun throwing incident, and his body is controlled by the heart demon.
It sounds like it is a combination of David Fincher's "Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club", but in fact, Wei Jiahui has a lot to say. Liu Qingyun’s genius detective can not only see the ghosts in others’ hearts, but can also perceive and predict the psychology of sinners in an experiential way like the characters in Stephen King’s novels. But he is also a lunatic, and his actions are so weird in the eyes of others, and he even cut off his ears like Van Gogh to give to others, so he is not accepted by others. He lacks love, understanding and protection, so the image of his ex-wife has become his lingering demon.
But genius is not accepted and appreciated by the world, and it is not just because of madness. Although the ex-wife said that the detective was a lunatic, she actually agreed with his abilities, and she said, "People all over the world have ghosts in their hearts, but you don't have a problem!" An Zhijie used his girlfriend's police gun to pretend to be a problem after losing his gun. It can be seen that Ghosts in people's hearts will always appear, and anyone can have evil thoughts in their hearts. A genius like a detective can understand the truth that others don't want to be discovered, and uncover the shady scenes that others don't want to uncover-it must be impossible, really unwilling. No one wants to treat a colleague as a thief, no one wants to be troublesome, everyone needs a ghost in their minds to be at ease and avoid disadvantages, so a secret but well-knowing complicity is formed. The genius does not want to confuse and confuse, but to expose everything. As a result, he is not only isolated, but ultimately killed by his own talent. The film ends with a tragedy. The detective also sees ghosts in the extreme environment of being distrusted and losing the right to speak, and An Zhijie is more controlled by the demons born of evil thoughts, trying to hide from the sky in order to protect himself. He is really "I am alone." The tragedy, the phrase "I am all human, why should there be a difference" is the detective's last words and elegy.
Lao Du is still stylized, such as the slow motion of the seven demons chasing the teenager, and the overhead shot of An Zhijie on the black street. In addition, using Liu Qingyun's eyes and facial expressions to switch between the heart demon and the body is really wonderful. The treatment of the detective's self-buried section is even more symbolic and formal. The final climax was that Lao Du was good at raising guns and shooting each other at night, using the mirror to convey the split of human nature and add to the atmosphere.
Liu Qingyun wore Zhou Xingchi-style tangled hair, a narrow suit, seven-pointed trousers, and barefoot leather shoes. This appearance, coupled with weird beatings and stiff hand movements, made a crazy guy vivid; The lazy expression and sharp eyes, and a genius-like aura emerges, quite like Al Pacino's aura.
When I watched this film, I couldn't help thinking of "The Birth of a Preface". Wei Jiahui, who is unbelievable, and Liu Qingyun, who was split, has been ten years in the blink of an eye, ten years of night rain in the rivers and lakes, ten years of the Milky Way, this is the "Detective".
