The director is very good at hiding contradictions and conflicts under a calm and stable picture - the biggest credit, and also the most ingenious design of the screenwriter, is the setting of the male protagonist who is deaf and mute.
Because the male protagonist is deaf and mute, more than half of the voices are missing in a large number of pictures, and the normal people who appear with him cannot express themselves smoothly.
The sluggish eyes of the male protagonist that appear repeatedly in the movie give the audience a strong sense of helplessness. He was slow and unresponsive.
Some people say that the opening picture of the film is very warm? actually not. "The radio anchor reads the letter written by the deaf-mute brother to his sister", which in itself carries a strong ironic meaning and "hidden danger" - why doesn't the deaf-mute brother read the letter directly to his sister? Where are their parents? There are many stories of family love between siblings like this that are relayed on the radio every day, but is anyone really listening? Does anyone care?
The plot that scares me the most in the whole film is not elsewhere, but in the few minutes before the kidnapped little girl falls into the water-through enough clues given by the plot and pictures, the audience can judge in advance that the girl will drown.
However, the deaf-mute brother does not know! He buried his sister in pain, but he didn't know that another innocent poor life was about to die because of him - the cry after drowning, the splashing water, he couldn't see.
Here, there is a question that everyone may overlook - what is the real reason for the drowning of the little girl? slip? or murder?
My answer is: murder. But it was not the deaf-mute brother who murdered the little girl, but the mentally retarded man by the river.
There are several consecutive pictures about the death of the little girl.
1. The mentally handicapped throwing stones by the river (close-up).
2. Close-up of the face of the deceased sister
3. The Empty Bridge
4. The girl falls into the water, two white shadows, one is the mentally handicapped on the shore, the other is the girl in the water
From the clues given by the director, it should be that the mentally handicapped stoned the girl and caused her to fall into the water.
Moreover, it is very likely that it was intentional murder, and the reason for the handicapped action may be very trivial - the mentally handicapped took a fancy to the necklace around the girl's neck.
The complete story should be like this: At the beginning, the girl was sleeping in the car, and the mentally handicapped passed by and wanted to go up and take the necklace when she saw it. The girl woke up and struggled, but the mentally handicapped did not succeed.
Then, the mentally handicapped went to the river and threw stones (probably to vent his anger), and the girl happened to walk on the bridge to find the deaf-mute younger brother. As a result, the mentally handicapped hit the girl (I tend to do it on purpose), and the girl drowned.
Finally, the mentally handicapped swims over and takes the necklace from the girl's neck.
Therefore, it seems that the one who killed the girl should be the most helpless and insignificant supporting role.
However, there is a murderer behind the murderer - if there is no kidnapping of the deaf-mute younger brother, the little girl will not be here. And if it weren't for the sick elder sister, the deaf-mute younger brother would not have taken the risk. And if it wasn't for organ dealers, the deaf-mute younger brother wouldn't need to kidnap...
It seems that behind every sin there is a sad reason.
What about the girl's father? Is the girl's father innocent?
There is a very hidden detail, I don't know if it is the director's intention.
The girl's father opened a factory. One day, a suspected laid-off worker appeared in front of his house and knelt on the ground, saying that he needed money and that he had dedicated his life to the factory, but the girl's father responded indifferently. Then the worker at the bottom directly took out a knife and separated his belly.
There are several places where the belly is separated in the film, and the deaf-mute brother was cut off his kidney once. So you can take this as a metaphor, whether it's an organ trafficking gang or a girl's father, they're actually people who make money for themselves by exploiting others.
Of course, I am not referring to capitalism. but human nature. In fact, everyone is selfish. So there are so many tragedies in the story.
"I know you are a kind person, but I want revenge."
In the same way, you may be a good person, but you can also be evil.
Evil never happens without a sound. Each of us can be someone else's murderer.
