Andy Lau starring "Bomb Disposal Expert 2" is known as the best Hong Kong movie in recent years. One of the most commendable is the brain-burning plot in the film.
Some people say that the plot reversal of " Bomb Disposal Expert 2" this time is directly catching up with Chow Yun-fat and Aaron Kwok starring "Wu Shuang"
"Wu Shuang" This movie's plot reversal is actually a trick played by the director. The plot of the whole movie comes from the self-report of the "painter" starring Aaron Kwok and . Before telling the story, he also gave a close-up of the policeman played by Chow Yun-fat. This scene was very deceptive and made the audience think that Fa Ge is the real painter. The story told by the "painter" played by Aaron Kwok is automatically entered by the audience, thinking Fa Ge is the protagonist of the story.
It wasn't until the last scene that everyone suddenly realized that it was like this.
This is the charm of the film's sophisticated narrative structure. This is also the routine of general brain-burning movies.
Because the audience can receive limited information during the unfolding of the story, and the director is omniscient, so he can use this advantage to set up suspense for the audience.
There is no doubt that in the movie "Bomb Disposer 2", the most puzzled part of the audience is the story of Andy Lau after the character woke up from the hospital. For a while,
was difficult to distinguish between true and false, and the audience could not figure out who was telling the truth.
At that time, Andy Lau was suspected of hotel bombing. The audience saw him. He installed the bomb himself and then detonated the bomb himself. He himself was stunned and sent to the hospital.
is only about ten minutes from the beginning of the movie.
And at the beginning of the movie, the bomb disposal expert played by Andy Lau is a hero who wants to save the lives of others.
However, just after the movie subtitles "5 years later", such a huge reversal actually happened?
viewers were confused for a while.
Of course, Andy Lau in the movie can't figure out the situation because he has amnesia.
When the police came to question him, he didn't remember anything.
The police thought he was acting stupid, but the doctor said he had indeed lost his memory. Dr.
explained that human memory is divided into declarative memory and procedural memory. Declarative memory is also called explicit memory, which includes self-cognition and cognition of the world; procedural memory, also called implicit memory, is a certain skill that people have acquired through multiple training in life. Once you learn the implicit memory of
, you will generally not forget it. For example, we have learned such sports as cycling and swimming, and we have learned English as a foreign language. Even if we lose memory, we still know these skills.
But explicit memory, that is, a person's cognition of self and the world, and his understanding of his social relations, who am I? What am i doing? The reason these shapes a person's consciousness will be lost in amnesia. After the character of
Andy Lau was bombed by a bomb, he lost his grasp of all his past consciousness. He doesn't know who he is, he doesn't know what he did before, let alone what he wants to do in the future.
So, in the movie, when he heard people say he was Pan Chengfeng, he found information about Pan Chengfeng on the Internet and compared it. Hey, he really looks like this, so he was sure he was Pan Cheng wind.
Then I saw on the Internet that the police officer played by Pan Chengfeng and Liu Qingyun and was the best friend. They walked the closest, so I ran to ask him: Who am I?
At this time, the buddies told the story of Pan Chengfeng's broken leg five years ago.
said that because he could not return to the front line of the police force, his temperament changed drastically, and he antagonized the whole world, but later disappeared and reappeared as a suspect in two bombings.
This is his story.
This is the story we got from Liu Qingyun's perspective.
However, in the process of being hunted down, Pan Chengfeng got another version of the story from the ex-girlfriend Pang Ling played by Ni Ni.
Pang Ling said, you takeThe former was indeed to dismantle the experts, but later it was indeed because of the blown leg that many things happened and left the police force.
Here, the two people tell the same story.
But then, Pang Ling said that later you wanted to return to the police force, so the superior gave you a mission to be inside the undercover terrorists, as long as the mission is completed, you can return to the police force.
Before you went to the hotel for bomb disposal, you are not a criminal.
Pang Ling also said "I am your liaison."
This is the story given by Pang Ling.
The audience was completely puzzled by this. Pan Chengfeng was also completely confused. A former best friend, an ex-girlfriend, who is telling the truth? Who is false?
Dear viewers, you can recall, when you saw this, how did you judge it at that time?
But in the movie, Pan Chengfeng tends to believe Pang Ling at this time. Because he had a phone number deep in his memory, he called this number after he escaped from the hospital.
And the phone Pang Ling was holding was indeed the number he dialed out. If
changed to you, you just lost your memory and can't remember anything. The only clue that can remember is this number. And this number is in the hands of the other party, so of course what she said is the most credible.
Seeing the back of the movie, we know the wonder of this phone number. The story of
has progressed here, which is the most charming part of this movie. Full of suspense, how will the plot develop?
and later we also learned that Pan Chengfeng did fall into a terrorist.
Then why did he start helping Pang Ling again?
It's all because, during Pan Chengfeng's coma, the medical experts moved some hands and feet to his brain. The doctor said that if a person loses his memory, his consciousness becomes blank, and his whole concept is likely to be reshaped. By transplanting him new memories, he can become another person.
Therefore, they implanted Pan Chengfeng some memories of the version of the story that Pang Ling said. Including this phone number, it was all generated out of thin air.
In fact, Pan Chengfeng had never called this number before. But after he woke up from the hospital, he remembered such a phone number and many other scattered clues in his mind. For example, the house that Pang Ling arranged for him is
. Of course, implanting memories cannot completely transform a person's mind. After all, he has lost his memory. Therefore, a real person is needed to help him strengthen and to awaken these memories.
So, Pang Ling appeared and told him such a story. The phone number matches, and the other clues Pang Ling said match up. Pan Chengfeng couldn't help but believe it.
Therefore, this scene in the hospital is very important to the plot of the whole movie.
Pan Chengfeng was already a terrorist before. If he had not been implanted in the hospital, he would not be able to return to the right way, and the movie would not be able to go on.
But, can memory transplantation really change people's self-awareness?
In fact, under the current scientific and technological conditions, this is still impossible. Everyone knows that the reason why I am me, the reason why a person has self-awareness, his perception of the world, and the basis of all his social relations are the explicit memory mentioned at the beginning of this article. Without these consciousnesses, man cannot exist.
is so aware of how the bottom is produced? How does our brain control it? These are the greatest secrets of life sciences.
Previously, scientists believed that human memory is like a library stored in the brain. If this part is removed, one will lose a certain part of the memory. However, later studies have found that even if a small part of the human brain is removed, there will be a memory compensation mechanism. For example, some people who are severely injured in a car accident or even have a brain injury do have some symptoms of amnesia, but after a while After time, he recovered again.
So, we still don’t understand how our brain works. How our consciousness is produced. z3Of course, z
can't talk about it. It can reshape a whole new person through memory transplantation.
In fact, there are already some movies with memory transplants. For example, this "Ultra Brain 48 Hours"
is about a CIA agent who died unexpectedly on a mission, but his mission must be completed, so the doctor transplanted his memory into another person's brain, so he has the previous The memory of the agent, of course his previous consciousness also survives...
This is basically a science fiction movie.
This can only be science fiction. Because there is no such technology in reality. No one knows how to transplant memory, and what kind of conflicts will occur with the original memory of the host after transplantation?
Let’s go back to the movie "Bomb Disposaler 2"
Pan Chengfeng took place in the hospital. The scene in which medical experts implanted memory in him can only be regarded as the subject matter of science fiction movies.
So, to this extent, is "Bomb Disposer 2" actually a science fiction movie?
What do you think of this scene?
