Last year, the three films "大佛plus", "爱 Mutual Love", and "Carnival" were considered to be strong winners of the Best Feature Film at the 54th Golden Horse Awards.
In the end, there was a movie that was an upset, defeating these three popular movies in one fell swoop and winning the award for Best Feature Film at the 54th Golden Horse Awards.
Moreover, this film not only won the best drama award, but also won two heavyweight awards for best actress and best supporting actress.
It is - " Blood Guanyin "
This is a noir movie that reflects the darkness of society. The background alludes to the murder case of Taoyuan County Magistrate Liu Bangyou. The movie
tells the story of three members of the Tang family, mother and daughter, who play the role of white gloves traveling between political and business elites, playing games of political and business collusion, illegal over-loans.
Yang Yazhe wrote and directed a new work, Hui Yinghong , Wu Kexi , Wen Qi played three generations of women in a family. Simply put, it is "three women in one play".
Douban 7.5, the possibility of being released in mainland China is slim.
Because the film is too shameful, there is a shameful scene between the eldest daughter and two men at the beginning.
"Blood Guanyin" is a female-centered film. This scene naturally starts with thinking about women's feelings about sex.
The female perspective leaves many scenes for the audience to imagine, such as the warm sunshine, the hero’s calves and buttocks with popping veins, etc.
Therefore, the director of this film invited a young new-generation photographer to study adult films for female audiences for a month.

The scene of "Blood Guanyin" is set in southern Taiwan in the 1980s.
In Tang Mansion, a house composed of women, there live three women of different generations but who equally understand people's hearts.
Mrs. Tang (Hui Yinghong) presides over the overall situation, shuttles among the rich and powerful, relying on her superb skills and supple figure to survive and profit in the complex political and business relationships;
The eldest daughter Tang Ning (Wu Kexi), who has a personality like a hedgehog, works hard to get her mother's approval. Cooperation;
The well-behaved little daughter Tang Zhen (Wen Qi) mostly observes quietly and obeys her mother's orders.
The exquisite details of the mixture of Japanese colonial atmosphere and Taiwanese folk customs, the rich and highly saturated images, and the interspersed narration by Yang Xiuqing, the master of "Nange", all make the film full of magical realism.
Song chanting is a form of performance in Taiwan
Mrs. Tang looks like a kind-hearted and kind-hearted person, and supports the son of a fish seller to go to school and become a reporter.
On weekdays, he is either drinking tea or painting, or organizing exhibitions for the officials’ wives, drinking wine, drinking wine, and exchanging glasses with the wives of the county magistrate and special assistants to the Speaker.
Mrs. Tang often said the words "I am doing it for your own good" to her eldest daughter Tang Ning, and she also acted like "I am doing it for your own good" to different people.
Not only did she carefully help them select gifts and prepare meals, she also helped political and business dignitaries settle many difficult matters through the personal connections left by past generals. Under the guise of her business model of "buying for one dollar today and selling for one dollar tomorrow",
acts as a middleman for laundering black money and is responsible for giving illegal affairs a legal appearance.
The women’s dinner party she attended was attended by officials’ wives, the county magistrate’s special assistant, etc.
They seem to be talking about foreign jade, but in fact they are the subtext and political metaphor of various activities.
There is a scene where the special assistant to the Speaker is fanning Mrs. Tang to sell a 500,000-yuan royal fan to the county magistrate’s wife. The county magistrate’s wife said, “The lady above is selling fans, and the officials below are asking for red envelopes. Can we not do this to save face?”
One sentence breaks through the corrupt system from top to bottom.
At the art exhibition, Councilor Wang’s wife talked happily about the buffet (buffet) popular among foreigners, carrying a plate to beg for food, like a beggar.
The background scene is a group of people in suits and formal wear enjoying a buffet, like an absurd drama of bourgeois prudence and charm.
Mrs. Tang often asked her youngest daughter Tang Zhen to observe and learn from the things that happened to us, and taught her some seemingly forbearing principles.
For example: the person who reconciles first is not because he is afraid of losing, but because he cherishes, When you hear scary sounds, you will not be afraid until you face them bravely.
Mrs. Tang first applied hypocritical social etiquette, and then used forbearance to appease Tang Zhen's emotions.
's actions of coaxing successfully made Tang Zhen her controllable pawn in the name of being a good daughter.
She was resourceful and resourceful, and single-handedly planned the Amitabha Project:
First she hugged the thigh of the wife of the President of the Executive Yuan, and then persuaded Congressman Lin to join as the "head" for land speculation;
Then she asked her daughter Tang Ning to bribe and devote herself to the construction A small official in the government moved the land opening project to the Miduo area;
finally teamed up with the county magistrate and speaker to use the funds of the farmers' association to speculate in the land in Miduo, thus making a fortune.
However, something went wrong in this lucrative deal. It was revealed that officials had embezzled public funds to speculate on land. The development project was moved to the Lishui area, and all officials, big and small, were trapped.
Senator Lin's family was even brutally wiped out, and a junior official in the Building and Construction Department committed suicide out of fear of crime.
Mrs. Tang has always been impeccable in her work. How did the incident come to light, and who killed the Lin family?
You will definitely not expect the final answer.
can only be said to be one link after another, it is really wonderful.
The eldest daughter Tangning, in "Blood Guanyin", gives people the biggest feeling of madness from beginning to end.
is addicted to drugs and alcohol, and has overflowing desires. His relationship with his mother and daughter is broken.
Yes, Tang Zhen is Tang Ning’s daughter. For the sake of Tang Ning’s reputation, Mrs. Tang publicizes that her granddaughter Tang Zhen is her little daughter.
In Mrs. Tang's view, Tang Ning's open indulgence in sexual activities is "disgraceful" and a person without "face", so she is only qualified to be someone else's "little wife". She bluntly said that she is "a princess, destined to be a maid."
Mrs. Tang Zhen always wears formal clothes, but she shows herself in lazy clothes, smokes and drinks all the time, has a chaotic private life, and looks like a prostitute.
But Tang Ning's existence seems to be another extension of Mrs. Tang, helping Mrs. Tang to deal with, show off, and even sell her beauty.
As a member of the White Wolf Game, Tang Ning has a kind of pain of being trapped in it. This pain comes from her being Mrs. Tang's accomplice and wanting to escape from her control.
So she chose to live a life of drunkenness and dreams, entangled and collapsed between the two states of woman and girl.
Although he lives a frantic life, Tang Ning is exactly the sober person in the film.
In the family portrait oil painting she painted, the mother and sister beside her looked sideways.
She, who is in the center, looks straight ahead.
The younger daughter Tangzhen is played by Wen Qi, who stars in the movie "Carnival" and was nominated for Best Actress and Best Supporting Actress at the 54th Golden Horse Awards.
Tangzhen is still young, but he already has a perfect mask.
is extremely well-behaved in front of adults, has a sophistication that belies his age, and even has a hint of gloominess.
In fact, she is a little girl who is extremely eager to love and be loved. In the first scene of the
movie, Tang Zhen saw Tang Ning and the two Burmese brothers having sex. She thought it was obscene and dirty.
At the same time, she believed that the love between Congressman Lin's daughter Lin Pianpian and their male horse farm worker Marco was pure and not as dirty as Tang Ning's chaotic sexual behavior.
She felt jealousy and loneliness from their love, and projected herself onto Lin Pianpian, having the illusion of love for Marco.
After Lin Pianpian's family was killed, she kept waiting for the unconscious Pianpian. She also protected the love between Pianpian and Marco and hid Marco, the suspect in the family murder case, in her studio.
But in fact, Tang Zhen is the "little devil" who has won the true inheritance of Mrs. Tang.
She hid Marco at home not to help him, but just to control this desperate person, just like Mrs. Tang controlled them.
But to Marco, both Lin Pianpian and Tang Zhen are just young ladies trying to control him in the name of love and treating him as a plaything.
So, Marco violated Tang Zhen in retaliation.
Tang Zhenmeng woke up heartbroken and wandered aimlessly in the train. Not only was her virginity taken away from her, but also the last remaining beauty in the world...
Many years later, she became Another Mrs. Tang.
Tang Zhen will become Tang Ning when she grows up, and Tang Ning will eventually become Mrs. Tang. Didn’t Mrs. Tang have a past with Tang Ning and Tang Zhen?
Such a cycle is exactly what the director wants to express about "reincarnation" and "retribution" in Buddhism.
Just like he said, the title of the video "Blood Guanyin" is a satire on those who pretend to be compassionate, but are actually doing harm to the director.
"The most terrifying thing in the world is not the immediate punishment, but the future without love."
If you trace and analyze the roles of the three women of the Tang family from the perspective of love, you will find that they often "act in the name of love." evil things".
This is the dirty stuff that often happens under the surface of a harmonious society. The loveless future revealed by
is more heart-wrenching than the possible punishment at the moment.
