Because of gender, I will pay special attention to female writers, female directors, or female-themed works in the process of reading and watching movies. Among them, I especially like Hong Kong female writer Li Bihua .
Li Bihua's writing style is gorgeous and treacherous, the plot is bold and ingenious, and the description of the characters' psychology is clear and profound. Therefore, her original works are favored by many directors, and her filmed works are often applauded and popular. Such as "Farewell My Concubine", "Rouge Button", "Green Snake" and so on.
Today I would like to talk with you about a horror film adapted from Li Bihua's work. Although it is a horror film, in fact, there is no ghost in the whole film; although there is no ghost, the film is more than ten times more terrifying than ordinary horror films. After reading
, I was in a cold sweat: It turns out that the most terrifying thing in this world is not the monsters and monsters, but the people without awe and the endless desire.
This movie is "Three-Watch Dumplings", adapted from Li Bihua's novel "Dumplings • The Woman Who Eats Babies".
Forty-year-old Ai Jingjing is still a pretty person. In addition to shopping and beauty, her daily life is a party, and she lives a rich life that everyone admires.
's brilliance is only on the surface. Inside, she was very anxious and panicked, because time passed, not only took away her collagen , but also took away her husband Li Shijie's love and obsession with her.
When she was upstairs, her husband dared to do something to the server downstairs. Those delicate faces and energetic body made her feel a deep sense of crisis.
It's not that Ai Jingjing doesn't know her husband's ghost thoughts, but she can only bear it.
Now her "color" is depreciating in and every minute and every second, but Li Shijie's money is rising.
In order to seize Chen Shijie's long-term meal ticket, Ai Jingjing came to the legendary Yuemei Pavilion, where people can return to youth and stay young forever.
htmlAunt Mei, the owner of Yue Mei Pavilion, is a woman in her 60s who looks like she is only about 30 years old. She has a beautiful face and a bumpy figure. She uses herself as a living sign and sells "baby" dumplings to the world .What are baby dumplings? It's dumplings made from aborted babies. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is human flesh dumplings.
Normal people don't know and dare not eat these kinds of dumplings. Ai Jingjing was trembling when she first arrived at Yuemei Pavilion. Facing the bowl of exquisite dumplings in front of her, she couldn't put it down. In the end, Aunt Mei's words encouraged her. She, Aunt Mei said:
When eating, think about the consequences, not the antecedents.
What is the antecedent, naturally refers to the origin of dumpling stuffing ; what is the consequence, is the benefits that can be brought by eating baby dumplings: returning to youth, in exchange for the heart of my husband, and preserving my life of prosperity and wealth...
As a result, Ai Jingjing bit her teeth and closed her eyes. With the mentality of being a benefactor if she didn't succeed, she fiercely ate her first bite of baby dumplings. After the first time, she became familiar with it, and she even gradually fell in love with the delicious taste of baby dumplings. Under the double temptation of appetite and lust, she became a frequent visitor to Yuemei Pavilion.
After eating baby dumplings a few times, Ai Jingjing could feel the slight changes in her face and body, but her husband ignored her for a long time and didn't care at all, not to mention that he was having a hot fight with the waiter girl. In order to speed up her beauty, Ai Jingjing had to ask Aunt Mei to help her find the "superior": a five-month-old aborted baby.
is so-called superb, let alone eating it, just listening to it is enough to make one's hair creepy: in fact, it is the most beautiful in five or six months. There is a layer of fat like cream on the outside, the skin is transparent, and the blood vessels are pink. The head shell has developed, and the hands can still move and yawn. Five months is the best, like a kitten, so pretty! Good supplement!
But at this time, driven by fear and desire, Ai Jingjing has completely lost her basic concept of morality and human relations. She has spent a lot of money with Aunt Mei, begging her to get the best product no matter what.
Aunt Mei, for the sake of money, did not hesitate to take risks to help underage girls illegally have abortions, and finally got a five-month-old baby.
After Ai Jingjing ate the top-quality dumplings, her face was radiant. Too embarrassed at the party...
Should normal people and normal thinking come to their senses at this moment? But never underestimate human desires, once the gate of desire is opened, it will always be unpredictable!
Li Shijie inadvertently learned the truth about his wife's rejuvenation. Not only did he not stop him, but he also took the initiative to seek out Yuemei Pavilion to stay young forever. It was very tempting to think about it. And in the process of eating baby dumplings, under the provocation of Aunt Mei, she couldn't help but struggle with her.
Although Aunt Mei kept saying "I'm on my own", but when she saw Li Shijie, a rich man, she couldn't help but stare at him and want to kill him and make a fortune on him, so she disregarded her age and shame , The blatant flattery attracted Li Shijie could not help but flirt with her grandma.
It's a pity that her wishful thinking has not been settled yet. The murder case of illegal abortion and the death of the other party broke out. She had to give up everything she finally got, and ran away in a hurry.
Ai Jingjing's obsession with eternal youth has reached the point of madness. She spent a lot of money to buy a five-month-old baby in her husband's lover's womb. Human dumplings that rejuvenate her and get her husband's attention back. There is also a supporting role in
, which fully reflects the darkness and horror of human nature. She is Li Shijie's lover. The little waitress who was molested by him.
She hooked up with Li Shijie for money, and pregnancy was also for money. When Ai Jingjing promised to give her double the money, she did not hesitate to agree to the other party's request for her to have an abortion, and offered her aborted "natural child" with both hands. With the eldest wife in front of him, don't ask her what she is doing.
Everyone's choices and psychology, every scene, are creepy and shuddering.
Mark Twain said: fanatical desire, will induce dangerous actions, do absurd things. This sentence
is suitable for a group of people in "Three-Watch Dumplings".
Aunt Mei is money lust. She was originally from mainland . When she was young, she was a doctor. During the family planning era, her main job was to force abortions for pregnant women who did not meet the policy, and she was abandoned by her loved ones because of this.
First, material was scarce when she was young, and second, the work she once engaged in made her unable to treat life correctly, which led her to have an almost perverted enthusiasm for money and material things.
The waitress girl is also money-sucking. The strong desire for money made her regard herself and the fetus in her womb as commodities. When selling, she did not ask the buyer's character, but only the price.
Chen Shijie is lust. From a secular perspective, Chen Shijie is a successful person. Because he is rich enough, he is used to using money to solve all problems.His wife complained that he didn't have time to accompany her, and he didn't even want to perfunctory, he would just write a check with many zeros.
There is an old saying in China: Satisfy and warm and think of lust. It makes sense. Because after solving the basic demands of survival, people's desires are often things other than survival, such as sex, such as rights. Because Chen Shijie has no love and does not understand love, he delusionally wants to use a lot of sex to make up for it, but it is obviously futile.
Excessive desire will only make people more and more lost.
Ai Jingjing is a complex intertwined with desire for money, lust, and lust. She was originally a new star, but she struggled too hard, so she took advantage of the fame she earned from filming and made small plans to marry the rich Chen Shijie in a hurry.
One image for money and one for sex is a fair deal, but she never imagined that her beauty would depreciate much faster than her husband's money. In order to keep the title of Mrs. Li, she had to compromise, rack her brains, and scrupulously seek each other. a coping method.
In fact, not only the decline of beauty is a problem, this kind of marriage of money and sex, even if the wife is always beautiful, it is difficult to maintain long-term success, because such a man's pursuit is always fresh and exciting.
This is really a terrible movie, it shows us naked how terrifying the human heart is without borders of desire, without awe, it is a mysterious force that can make people "ghost". Everyone in the
movie is lost in a bottomless desire, constantly being burned by the fire of desire, suffering, but also addicted to it, unable to save themselves.
So people, no matter what state they reach, they must be in awe of this world, otherwise what is the difference between them and ghosts?
