I believe everyone is numb to the matter of seeking money and
killing lives. The previous routines are like this: someone is killed, the protagonist appears on the scene, and the truth is revealed.
The highlight of this kind of movies is the word "check", and wonderful articles written on this word are not uncommon. However, just such a proposition composition, no matter how you play it, there will be a day of exhaustion. No matter how complicated, how sophisticated, and how strange the "check" is, in the final analysis, it is still the same thing. After all, it will be another day of aesthetic fatigue.
The success of this film is precisely in the word "innovation".
Let me use a question-and-answer method to simulate this process of innovation a little bit:
Why should the audience watch such (fortune-and-for-life) films?
1. I want to see how sophisticated the process of making money and killing lives.
2. Want to experience the indignation, disappointment, regret of being betrayed by a close person, and the pleasure of being punished by the villain.
How to design the process of making money and killing lives more ingeniously?
It is difficult to surpass the predecessors who used the words "conspiracy" to the fullest. No solution.
How to let the audience experience deeper indignation, disappointment, regret and later pleasure?
1. Make the process of making money and killing life more vivid.
2. Let the victim slowly uncover the plot of money and death by himself.
How to make the process of making money and killing lives more vivid?
Let the victim be killed slowly while sober and unable to resist.
How to let the victim uncover the whole bureau by himself?
The victim's soul is out of his body!
Well, the most exciting idea has been figured out, that is, the victim's soul is out of his body. So, how to make the victim's soul out of his body more reasonable and thrilling?
The title of the title gave us a good answer, and I even think that the entire structure of the film serves this way of getting out of your body.
You are awake and even feel there. The person who hurt you slowly cuts your body with a knife. You can feel the real piercing pain, but you can't do anything.
You can hear the people who harmed you slowly revealing the game set for you in the process of slowly killing you.
You find that your most trusted friend is slowly killing you.
You find that your most cherished relationship is a scam.
You discover that your mother who you have fought for a long time is the one who loves you the most in this world, and you just broke her heart deeply.
Friendship betrays you, love deceives you, family love cares for you from beginning to end, but you have just felt its existence.
What kind of sadness, what kind of regret, and what kind of heartache is this!
What is the greatest sorrow in the world? You find that someone is robbing you of your most precious things bit by bit, but you can't do anything.
This movie uses its wonderful perspective and wonderful conception to make the audience experience this kind of sadness to the greatest extent. Based on this alone, it is worth the 5 stars I gave.
