Today, let's talk about the movie "The Mystery of the Female Corpse".
The title of the film is El cuerpo / The Body (2012), also known as corpse call (Taiwan) / corpse.
In September 2017, the suspense film "The Invisible Guest" directed by Oriol Paulo was released on the mainland, which immediately set off a wave of suspense films. Oriol Paul is also affectionately known as the King of Reversals by our fans.
Don't look at the many follow-up remakes of "Invisible Guest", but there is only one most exciting original. This "The Mystery of the Female Corpse" is a feature film made by Oriol Paul as early as 2012, and he was also nominated for the Best New Director at the 27th Spanish Goya Awards in 2013 based on this film.
Since it is called the King of Reversal, the film will definitely be full of various reversals, and the audience will not guess the truth of the story until the last second of the film.
Now look back at "The Female Corpse Mystery", and you will find that Oriol Paul has a set of his own. This routine is exactly the same as "The Invisible Guest", "Mirage", "Death Tell No Tales" and so on that he released in the following years. Before you understand the routine of the King of Reversal, you will definitely be shocked by such works. Audiences who like suspense type films may wish to follow the map and catch up with Oriol Paul.
In order to maintain the best viewing effect, it is recommended that you do not read any relevant advice before watching Oriol Paul's works, in order to prevent accidental spoilers.
The best way to watch a movie is to run straight into the theater and watch it. The same is true for movies that have been released for a long time, just watch them directly, and then communicate after watching them.
Like Oriol Paul's other works, "The Mystery of the Female Corpse" turns into a grand narrative through a small entry.
The film goes straight to the topic at the beginning, when the female corpse in the morgue suddenly disappears, scaring the night shift security guard in the morgue into a daze. The police intervened urgently, and the investigation found that the female body was a strong woman named Maca Villaveld, and the cause of death was a sudden heart attack.
The police contacted Marka Villaveld's husband, Alex, and found that Alex's reaction to his wife's sudden death was not quite right, and there seemed to be something else hidden.
Starting from the disappearance of the female corpse, everything is like a fog. Moreover, the film only shows Alex's perspective, which further enhances the audience's sense of substitution and confusion.
Alex wants to try his best to prove his innocence, and the police detective is constantly enticing confessions and cheating confessions.
Generally, when a wife is killed, the first suspect is the husband, and there is a high probability that the murderer is the husband. Alex, on the other hand, believed that he had done it flawlessly, leaving no flaws.
But after the female corpse disappeared mysteriously, strange things kept happening. Alex began to doubt his own memory, it seemed that the real culprit was someone else.
The storytelling skills of "The Mystery of the Female Corpse" are extremely skilled. Don't look at the time line being disrupted, but the performance is not messy at all. The audience can string together the whole story very clearly.
And most of the time in the film, the audience is led by the director's nose, and everyone's eyes are focused on making money and killing people. Moreover, it is easy for everyone to ignore some details that have been shown in the previous article, and it is not until the final truth is revealed that they suddenly realize that every detail is a foreshadowing carefully designed by the director.
The film always keeps the suspense under control and the rhythm is in place. Whenever the contradiction between the characters is about to break out, new situations and new clues will appear, which will attract the audience to continue to explore.
"The Female Corpse Mystery" appears to be a case of missing corpses on the surface, but what is hidden behind it is not just murder for money and love. The film contains the most simple values, that is, good and evil will be rewarded, and the way of heaven is reincarnated. Even if the law cannot punish criminals, the hard-working and brave people still have a way to bypass the law and seek the simplest revenge.
