The film is adapted from Li Bihua's novel "Dumplings". In the impression, where Li Bihua's handwriting is full of monsters without exception. And must use women as the subject to explore the paradox of human nature. This novel is no exception. The story is actually very simple. A woman (played by Yang Qianhua), who was born as a beauty pageant when she was young, was involved in the showbiz. When she became a big hit, she picked a man with wealth and wealth (played by Leung Ka Fai), married into a wealthy family and became a wife. However, twenty years later, when the former glamour gradually faded into a half-old milf, the man on which the woman relied on was actually seduced by an ordinary shoe store clerk, and made the act of Jinwu Cangjiao. The clerk’s young anger is something women no longer own, so the woman was introduced to find another ghostlike woman who lives in a dark room like a hell on earth, doing a "dumpling" business-Aunt Mei (Decorated by Bai Ling).
Aunt Mei is a mainland Chinese. When she was young, she worked as an obstetrics and gynecology doctor in a hospital in Shenzhen. She occasionally took care of private work by herself and performed abortion operations on underage girls in the underground clinic. Later, I went to Hong Kong and opened a "Yuemei Pavilion" dumpling shop in a slum, which is very famous in the upper class. Aunt Mei itself is a mystery, and the mystery is her age. In the play, Bai Ling should not look 35 or 6, but in fact, Aunt Mei should be 60 years old. Another mystery is her dumplings. Aunt Mei's "dumplings" are famous for rejuvenating their youth, and their material was originally a baby fetus that shed after an accident. From two months to five months, different months have different effects. The baby fetus is mixed with cabbage, chopped and wrapped in the chewy dough. When it is cooked, it is crystal clear, and the red, red, white and white inside can be seen clearly. When a woman eats it, her skin becomes like dumplings, red, tender and white, just like a new life. The best stuffing of dumplings is made with five-month-old baby wombs. Once eaten, you can instantly turn from an old woman into a girl. Because of the abortion operation at five months, he risked his mother's life. Therefore, the superior product is something you can meet but not ask for. However, there was a young girl who looked like a middle school student, accompanied by her mother, to Aunt Mei's dark room for the operation. It turns out that the five-month-old baby is a kind of evil caused by his father's incest, and it must not be kept. The beaten baby fetus was soaked in blood, placed in a beautiful glass fruit plate, and frozen by Aunt Mei in the refrigerator, as the best for women to enjoy.
The woman ate dumplings stuffed with a five-month-old baby, and finally defeated the young clerk and regained the favor of the man. But did she really win? Unexpectedly, the evil fetus became a drug, inspiring the fishy odor of all the babies that had been eaten before, permeating through the pores of her skin, so that the people around finally understood how cruel it was to change. Got this gorgeous skin bag again. And the man, the root cause of all evil, was unable to resist the temptation of immortality, and eventually became the guest of Aunt Mei. A woman, after losing all the things she originally had, can only reduce herself to Aunt Mei's second to maintain this cruel beauty.
The film has assembled the most powerful team nowadays, Chen Guo, Chen Kexin, Du Kefeng, Xi Zhongwen and Li Bihua. Regardless of the use of lens lighting, the tension of the picture, the proper clothing and makeup, and the portrayal of the characters, the movie is terrifying, but exciting. I haven't seen a movie played by Bai Ling before, but in this movie, she played Aunt Mei impressed me deeply. Especially when she is holding a kitchen knife with her back to the audience, twisting her waist like a dance, and skillfully swinging the kitchen knife to chop meat, the whole body reveals the ghostly temptation. It seemed that at that moment, she was the master of time, and that kitchen knife was the weapon to control time. No matter how old, because of her magic, she will regain her youth. How many people can resist this temptation!
