Johnny To 's masterpiece "The Detective" ends with a "gun change" that movie fans talk about. He Jiaan, played by An Zhijie , hopes to use this to help him escape.
" Infernal Affairs ", the two undercovers, Liu Jianming, and Yang Jinrong, are proud of their work skills, and are able to write reports.
"Cold War ", if you can "do accounts", you can defeat your opponent, and you are scheduled to be the next police chief. What does
mean?
A good story can determine life and death.
Today's movie is even more extreme, uses the story to attack, and the move is fatal.
Note that the following Sir said is not guaranteed to be true
"Set"
OUTFITh
956, Chicago. Leonard Bryn (Marc Rillons) runs a tailoring shop.
A snowstorm night.
Three groups of people broke in one after another
They all had guns.
Police, spy, gangster, thug...
How to resolve the old tailor?
Look at his techniques, he will use his lifelong craftsmanship to let you understand what seamlessness is.
01
store is closed, and a burst of rapid knocks are heard.
Speaking of which, they are all customers of this store
son of the gangster gangster Richie , and thug Francis .
But they visited late at night, things were not simple.
Ritch was shot in the abdomen, and there was a police car chasing them behind them.
The old tailor Leonard, who only wants to protect himself, certainly didn't want to make a statement. He waited for them to leave and just pretended that nothing had happened.
But.
The other party pointed a gun at him
You are alive!
sew the wound on Richie. How to sew
?
You can sew whatever you do with needlework.
Tailor never thought in his life that his business scope would develop to this point one day.
Then the thug Francis hurriedly left, leaving him two tasks
first, take care of the suitcase.
If it falls into the hands of the police or other gangsters, be careful that your head will bloom.
Second, protect Richie.
If his dad can't find anyone after a while, be careful that your head will bloom.
Francis' gun is not ambiguous at all.
It has come to this point, and the tailor doesn't want to wade into the muddy water, and has been dragged into the water.
Ricci, who had sewn the wound, woke up after sleeping for a while.
In his conversation, he revealed to him:
himself was injured because there was a traitor in the gang. He also said that one of the goals of the action tonight was to find the traitor.
Wait for my father and Francis to come back, catch the traitor, and then kill him.
But at this time.
The old tailor was silent.
After a while, hesitantly said:
I'm sorry, I didn't expect things to happen.
Your father is very good to me, and so are you.
But I'm sorry, I'm that traitor.
traitor reveals himself?
It seems that the story begins. There are spoilers at different degrees below. If you haven't watched this movie yet, please be careful to slide

before wiping the blood.
knocks on the door.
Two men stood outside the door, greeting the old tailor politely but coldly.
Black Boyle Mr. Boyle and his bodyguard.
At this time, the thug Francis had returned to the house and greeted the boss in a hurry but warm manner.
The boss asked, where is my son?
Francis said Ritchie had just left.
Wait, aren't you asking the tailor to take care of Richie and the suitcase and wait for the boss to come...
The boss then asked about the suitcase.
Francis: Richie left with his suitcase.
is gone?
A man, with a gunshot wound, and when there was a net outside, he left with a suitcase?
is out of the spectrum.
The boss turned his attention to the tailor next to him, and he only had the help:
Well, yes.
At this time, the power of "story" is online again.
Francis explained:
Ric is spoiled by you, has a stubborn temper, and is determined to prove that he is better than others, so he is a little better in his injury, so he can't wait to hand over the things in his suitcase to you in person.
The greatest power of a story lies in how rich your imagination is.
but it pulls a certain wrench in your heart .
You start to believe it is true.
or, hope it is true.
At this time, the bodyguard was sitting under the cabinet, bleeding was dripping.
03
The entire movie of "Suit" is staged indoors.
A group of people appeared and left, with clear paragraphs and very similar to a drama in form.
scene is definitely a small scene.
But the violent bullets are all fired through the "word".
When the rhetoric covers the rhetoric, the story overturns another version of the story, and you only realize that there are fatal mysteries in the characters' words.
For example.
Tailor is from London, England. He has worked as an apprentice in a high-end clothing customization store. At this age, he is definitely a top master.
His young female secretary has dreams all day long.
Want to go to London, Paris, Monaco ...
She envies him and is qualified to open a store anywhere in the world.
That question is coming, why did Leonard come to this dirty and messy, Gotham City ordinary Chicago?
△ Chicago is almost synonymous with the city of sin
Another example.
The tailor starts with saying that from a person’s clothes, you can understand him one or two.
A man comes in
You can observe what he is
Wait for you to find out who he is
You can start
Understand a person, clothes are clues.
The tailor in front said that Ricky had gone out, but when the boss saw that his son's coat was still hanging on the hanger.
htmlChicago in November, I didn’t wear a coat when I went out. Is this reasonable?
If you want to make a piece of clothing, you will sew the cut fabric tightly.
Then everyone's narrative in the film is part of the material.
constructs the full picture of the story. The stories told by
and continue to promote new stories.
gangster boss is the old customer of the tailor.
During his conversation, he suddenly explained the whole story of everything tonight:
The Outfit, Aofeis, a famous gangster boss of Chicago, Al Capone . After his death, he gradually expanded to the United States' gangster alliance.
The black boss wanted to join Aofei Club, but was suddenly informed by Aofei Club that there was a recording of his crime in FBI . To join, you must first get rid of the FBI informant in the gang, that is, the traitor.The one in the suitcase of
is a copy of the tape obtained from the FBI by Aofeishe, who has a great power, to help the black boss fight against the traitor.
So the answer is very clear.
Whether it is the two of them being ambushed at the beginning, or Richie missing with a tape.
As long as the tape is played, you will definitely be able to find out where the recording device is and who the traitor is.
Now his son is strangely missing, and the tape in the suitcase is gone.
Who is striking the answer is getting closer and closer.
is this time.
Another sound came from outside the door.
But this time, it is the sound of the door opening.
Francis brought the female secretary Mabel to the store.
He pointed at Mabel's gun and asked the old clerk to tell a decent story in front of the black boss.
Otherwise he would...
Tell the truth, and the female secretary was killed on the spot.
But how can I write a story?
looked at the old tailor and hesitated.
Francis said to him:
I think he went to her home
Reason?
Ric and the female secretary are in love.
does not wear a coat, it is a tailor shop because the female secretary's home is very close.
and, as important as seeking credit from father, are to show off to his girlfriend with injuries and seek warmth.
This is indeed Ricky's personality, and the black boss hesitated a little.
Francis continued to finish the fight: there seemed to be blood on her carpet. Can the black boss believe this story?
After the black boss, who else will visit this tailor shop?
OK, Sir keeps the "story" a little mysterious, and leave it to you to reveal it in person.
This narrative method that must use one lie to cover up another lie and seek reasonable explanations to get out of it is the biggest highlight of the movie "Suit".
Contradiction, reversal, new contradiction, and reversal, in a small space, bring the entertainment of the narrative to the extreme, and you can't guess the answer until the end.
But if you want to use one word to describe it.
The most appropriate thing should be.
old school.
is like an old tailor who makes suits in the movie.
This kind of indoor reversal thriller and suspense, the elements of the corpse in the cabinet, and even the time when the movie story takes place.
old school like Hitchcock and Hollywood film noir era.
not to mention the use of some audio-visual effects.
As an example.
train sound effect.
At the beginning of the movie, it used glass reflection to point out that the tailor shop was adjacent to the train track.
But in the movie, the sound of the train passing by many times refers to the inner anxiety of the character.
Whether it is the old tailor, Francis, or the black boss.
And this technique is most famous in the scene in which Mike assassinated the drug lord Soraso in "The Godfather".
Editor Walter Murch once said: "The sound here is actually an indication of the complex psychology before Mike pulls the trigger. It is the melody that suddenly sounds in his mind, just like the situation where his head is blank and buzzes when he hears bad news."
Another design.
smoke.
Every smoking in the play represents the end of one emotion and the beginning of the next emotion.
For example, the old tailor lights cigarettes for Ricky, implying that he wants to do something bad.
For example, the old tailor and Francis smoke. Among them, Francis cannot be burned, which refers not only to the inner tension, but also to the dilemma of the two people as fish.
In the last scene, the two of them lit a cigarette together, suggesting their common relationship at this time.
and mirror and illumination .
uses various ways to suggest the other side of the protagonist under the harmlessness of humans and animals.
of course also includes narrative.
I still remember that in the first round, Ricci once questioned.
Francis is not a talkative person.
But before leaving, Francis in the film told the old tailor abnormally about the elimination of the traitor. This scene of
is combined with the subsequent reversal.
Sir believes more that this is the cover of the director's design.
Francis has never revealed his oral, but the old tailor who had long understood everything deliberately wanted to arouse Ritch's suspicion and of course he also took part in explaining the plot to the audience.
...
. The final effect of all this design
The rating of the movie has gradually increased to 7.9. More and more viewers have discovered that the meticulous points are also the place to be attentive.
Director once won the Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay for " Imitation Game ".
starring Mark Rillons is a Hollywood veteran actor who has worked with Spielberg for many years.
Therefore, such a small-cost, stage-style movie will be implanted with many small details and highlights worth exploring.
is touching.
What moved?
In that era when there were no special effects, what attracted movies was these audio-visual languages, which rely on editing, lighting, to move mirrors, ...
compared the current CG special effects that Hollywood is increasingly dependent on depriving audio-visual.
What is hidden in the "Set" is the original intention of film art.
Those are thrilling dilemmas.
One by one, the real and real dreams.
