"Mystery" is an Indian suspenseful detective film.
In recent years, the popularity of Indian films in the domestic market has continued unabated. From dramas to inspirational blockbusters, Indian films have returned to the attention of Chinese people and have become a new force in theatrical films.
01 Suspense themes
"Mystery of Heaven" is a detective, reasoning, and suspense type movie.
When it comes to suspense, people are most familiar with Conan Doyle's "Sherlock Holmes", Agatha Christie's "Detective Poirot" and "Miss Marple". The author's virtual characters seem to have their own s life.
Japan is also a big producer of suspenseful themes. Edogawa Ranbu's "D Slope Murder" and "The Luminous Man", Henggou Masashi "The Town Murder", "Prison Gate Island", Morimura Seiichi's "Proof of Human Nature" ", "Proof of the Wild", etc., are classics tempered by time.
As well as contemporary Japanese writer Keigo Higashino, his works: "The Appearance of Suspect X", "White Night Walk", "After School", "Malignity", etc., have been put on the screen several times. There are also enduring works such as "The Case of the Kindaichi Teenager" and "Detective Conan" in Japanese animation.
In the series of works mentioned above, there is a brave detective who, through observation and analysis of the scene, came to the conclusion of who was the murderer, and gradually formed his own style.
02 suspense movie
As the carrier of literary novels, movies have made an indelible contribution to the visualization of suspenseful themes. A series of great detectives grew up with generation after generation.
The era has come to the present, and people are more and more familiar with the routines of traditional detective themes. Whether it is a secret room murder or a gang committing a crime, in the old themes, no matter how clever the criminals are, they can't escape the eyes of famous detectives.
The recent release of several movies has broken people's usual thinking patterns. For example, the Spanish film "The Invisible Guest".
"The Invisible Guest" directly asked the male protagonist to start the narrative after throwing out the case. From the audience's point of view, the male protagonist's story seems to be the truth.
In the second half of the movie, the truth is revealed by another person, completing a reversal. The audience also suddenly realized that indeed, the male protagonist's words are not credible, or not the truth.
03 Indian Mystery Movies
As suspense movies are more liked in the market, Indian movies are also taking notice.
In "The Tuner", the male protagonist pretends to be a blind man. After a series of struggles, the male protagonist lives a seemingly peaceful life. But all these are lies he made up subjectively, and the truth is hidden in the vast darkness.
The movie "The Mystery of Heaven" also uses a similar setting. First, the results of the case are given, and then two suspects are found. Through their different statements, the audience is confused. Who is the real murderer?
There are two reversals in the film. The writer and the housewife have solid reasoning basis in the police investigation and are defined as criminals. However, all of this eventually became the foreshadowing before the mystery was revealed.
It can be said that the film uses a consistent method of reasoning to advance the plot of the film reasonably. And in every reversal, reasonable scrutiny was also given.
04 Outlaw Land
The ending of "The Mystery of Heaven" was unexpected. It's not that the male protagonist's final method of committing the crime is so clever, because I guessed the ending when the camera advanced to the male protagonist's feet.
Surprisingly, the male protagonist really managed to escape in the end. The police handling the case looked at the taking off plane and recalled the burned evidence, leaving endless laments.
Seeing this, the movie is actually over. But a lot of people didn't leave, and I think they, like me, thought there were Easter eggs in the movie? Will it give the final inversion? For example, would a flight attendant give a writer a glass of poisonous water? guesses like that. of course not.
In the movie, it is also constantly pointed out that during the process of handling the case, the Indian police drink tea at the crime scene, intimidate, threaten, and beat the suspect. They do not pay attention to the evidence, and the forensic identification is too simple. And given the time to solve the case, too hasty and so on.
In the classification of suspense movies, there is a type called: social faction. Compared with other factions that pursue the deciphering process of the case, the case is tortuous and bizarre, the social faction will bring some attributes of satirizing the bad phenomenon of society.
The director of this film undoubtedly hopes that people will have a sense of social responsibility while indulging in guessing the murderer.
