article/April Story
Well, Tianya's 1.47 million replies no longer interest me. I am now full of "Detective" by Liu Qingyun and Du Qifeng. Below I also try to analyze the ending of the movie, hoping to verify what I think is the "maze with no exit" guess.
Brief character relationship when not changing guns: Liu Qingyun (An Zhijie’s gun, replaced by A, and the other guns are replaced by letters to distinguish), An Zhijie (his girlfriend gigi’s gun B), Lin Jiadong (his partner’s gun C), Indian (Lin Jiadong's gun D).
Start: The
first gun change: An Zhijie puts B in his pocket, picks up A, puts D into Liu Qingyun's hands, and puts C into Indian hands. What is the result at this time, let us review the sequence of firing these guns in turn: C killed the Indian, B injured Liu Qingyun, C injured An Zhijie, A killed Lin Jiadong, C killed Liu Qingyun (Although Liu Qingyun suffered He was seriously injured, but fell later than Lin Jiadong, according to this order). Reorganize the objects of the bullets: A is Lin Jiadong, B is Liu Qingyun, C is an Indian, An Zhijie and Liu Qingyun, and D is none.
Looking back at the result of the first gun change: D was placed in Liu Qingyun's hands, then Liu Qingyun committed the previous case; C was placed in Indian hands and injured An Zhijie, Liu Qingyun and the Indians themselves; A and B were in An Zhijie himself Hands. At this time, there is no need to infer the result, because there is an unreasonable gun C, so An Zhijie needs to continue to change the gun.
Then look at the second gun change: An Zhijie put C into Liu Qingyun's hands, and then put D into Lin Jiadong's hands. There is no need to infer further down, because C killed Liu Qingyun, which must leave doubts. An Zhijie pondered and continued to change the gun.
The third gun change: An Zhijie put D into the hands of the Indians... (At this time, C is in Liu Qingyun's hands), so the doubt of C is still left. Can An Zhijie put the gun reasonably?
The screen is black and the subtitles are out.
Okay, let's sort out our thoughts again. At the end, An Zhijie wants to explain this case innocently. First of all, he should have guns A and B in his own hands. He did it. So, the rest is how to arrange the remaining two guns C and D. A beat Lin Jiadong, and B beat Liu Qingyun, so Lin Jiadong and Liu Qingyun must not be good people in An Zhijie's report. So C and D can be placed in the hands of Liu Qingyun, Lin Jiadong and the Indians at will.
Let's put C and D in the hands of three people separately, and see if there is a reasonable arrangement:
1. C-Liu Qingyun, D-Lin Jiadong, Kong-Indian (the second gun change, not established)
2. C-Liu Qingyun , Kong-Lin Jiadong, D-Indian (the 3rd change of gun, not established)
3. C-Lin Jiadong, D-Liu Qingyun, Kong-Indian (assuming that Lin Jiadong is the criminal who committed the crime, Liu Qingyun and the Indian are accomplices, An Zhijie and his girlfriend Killed the three murderers, but why did C kill the Indians? Doubtful, not established)
4. C-Lin Jiadong, Kong-Liu Qingyun, D-Indians (the same doubts as 4, not established)
5. C-Indians, D-Liu Qingyun, Kong-Lin Jiadong (C shot and killed the Indian himself, not established)
6. C-Indian, Kong-Liu Qingyun, D-Lin Jiadong (the doubt is the same as 5, not established)
Therefore, there is no reasonable arrangement at all. This is the wonderful work of Wei Jiahui and Au Jianer The idea, of course, and Johnnie To's ingenuity in presenting such a wonderful movie to everyone. Maybe some of the ideas in the film look familiar, but it is still worth cheering for. So to summarize the previous article, the inference proves the view that the ending of "The Detective" is a labyrinth with no exit.
