"15 years in prison, 5 days for revenge."
Wu Daxiu (the male protagonist) 15 years of prison life has been swept away, this period of time in the OST The BGM is called Jailhouse Rock, it is made of a synthesizer, and the length is 1:57. The overhaul just counts "ten years, eleven years, twelve years..." unhurriedly. The picture shows the changes between outside and inside the prison: news is shown on TV; overhaul is exercising and using chopsticks. Digging a hole to escape.
In fifteen years, the hole was dug, but the major repair was released after hypnosis. Fifteen years of hard work became futile, and so will the future.
"Who is it? Why?" Fifteen years have made the problem more vague and clear. The only goal of the overhaul is revenge, and perhaps, to survive.
At this time, Chuntao (the heroine) has become the contradiction of the overhaul-trust and distrust, love and love, and hunger that has been suppressed for 15 years.
The road to revenge is naturally difficult and dangerous. When I watched it, I didn’t think there was so-called “extreme violence”. The black humor like Bill's shows naked blood and fear to you.
The mystery was revealed step by step. The overhaul knew "who" but did not understand "why", so the road to revenge would not stop.
At the same time, Chuntao and Daxiu have also come closer. When Chuntao was singing the memorable song of Daxiu in tears, at least on the surface, they were together. In addition to "extreme violence", there is also "extreme pornography" here, which is not actually "extreme", but it is bold and repressive in a repressive atmosphere. Perhaps at this moment, the two are free.
Later, overhaul understood "why". I think he still doesn't understand—does such a mistake need to be repaid in fifteen years? ——Actually, what he paid more than 15 years?
It turns out that this is revenge in revenge. However, there are more cruel ones.
A violet box, a photo album, and one page after another were opened, and finally the mystery was revealed one after another. The audience’s heart also changed with the overhaul, and there was heartache, but when I turned it over, this feeling changed. Finally, you have to admit-very cruel.
It turns out that this is incest among incest.
Overhaul will not confess anything, just like his enemies. However, he lost, and what he did was in vain. But for the enemy, how to survive?
"I don't regret it, how about you?" I can't know the answer, and there is no need, everything has been decided at that time, even though both of them are old boys.
In the end, the film comes with a back-and-forth response. Overhaul always insists on living, but the enemy is already dead.
The above is an analysis from the perspective of the plot. In addition, I like the music of the film very much. Although it always stops abruptly, it makes people unable to enjoy it, but the symphony, synthesis, and mixed style are appropriate with a strange passage. Moreover, even if they are taken out alone, they are still excellent.
As far as the filming technique of the film itself is concerned, I don't like its blunt special scenes, but fortunately, at least the plot can be connected, which is related to the "flat and straightforward narrative" adopted by the film. The development of the story is linear. Even the memory part of the overhaul is completed by the cooperation of the present and the past. To be honest, I really like the editing of that section. The film does not have much description of some events, such as the murder of the wife and daughter of the major nun and the confusion of the major repair in prison, and more emphasis on the character of the character, such as the performance of the major repair at the beginning of the film.
I am a little puzzled. At Chuntao's house, Chuntao talked about ants and then had a memory of her own. What does this paragraph mean? Moreover, what kind of environment does Chuntao grow in, how can such a thing happen? Could it be that the little heart between father and daughter?
In short, this is a good film.
