I had never seen a trailer for this movie or read any reviews of it before stepping into theaters. It can be said that it has not been affected in any way! This is also my viewing habit, and I try not to be affected by the outside world.
At 15:20 on January 9, 2020, when the cold and icy rain fell, I walked into Wanda Cinema to watch the movie "Manslaughter" with an umbrella and a bag.
...
After the video ended, I stood in my seat for a long time, as if I didn't know what to do. After watching the easter egg, I couldn't help but blurt out a few words: "Good film, good subject matter, but it's a pity that it's the ending. The subject matter and good works were made into a miserable unfinished film. The reason is just to pass the censorship of the film bureau."
...
" manslaughter " is supervised by Chen Sicheng and directed by Ke Wenli. Xiao Yang plays Li Weijie, the father of Pingping (the eldest daughter) and An An (the youngest daughter) in the film, Tan Zhuo plays Ayu, Li Weijie's wife; Chen Chong plays the policeman Director La Yun, whose son is named Su Cha, Jiang Haowen La Yun's husband is also a candidate for mayor.
The movie tells the story of Li Weijie's daughter, Ping Ping, who was raped by the police chief's son Su Cha, who was in the same camp when she participated in a summer camp organized by the school. In Su Cha, the rape process was filmed with a mobile phone and helped Ping Ping. In order to protect her daughter, her father protected the whole family. The story of the anti-reconnaissance method learned from here and the battle of wits and courage with the law enforcement and criminal police.
After watching the movie, I realized that "Manslaughter" is a remake of the Indian movie "Manslaughter Hiding from Heaven".
The ending of the Indian movie "Manslaughter from the Sky" is completely different from the domestic "Manslaughter". Although I can understand why the domestic movie "Manslaughter" has such an ending.However, the film "Manslaughter" made by Chinese people chose the narrative location, theme, scene, characters, etc. from abroad, but the ending of the story had to be filmed such a bad ending. While I am deeply regretful, I also feel sorry for I like the humanized, rationalized, unpretentious, and unforced analysis, narration, processing and expression of the Indian film "Manslaughter from the Sky". The freedom of the shooting environment of India's "Manslaughter from the Sky" determines the height of the film.
I have a daughter who is about the same age as the hero Li Weijie in the film "Manslaughter". The daughter who has grown up has become more and more incomprehensible to her father (Li Weijie), does not communicate or even resists. These "troubles" of growing up, I believe many parents include I have had the same experience.
What Li Weijie did not expect was that he had a communication barrier with his daughter, but because of such an unexpected and undesired event, the estrangement between father and daughter was resolved.
Although most people see movies as a form of entertainment. But Li Weijie and I have the same hobby → watching movies, the difference is that I like to think and write movie reviews after watching movies, while he likes to watch movies but doesn’t write movie reviews. But at the fourth grade of elementary school, he uses his own way to think about every movie he has seen, and applies the knowledge from the movie to his life, or uses the movie knowledge to help the people around him. From another point of view, this This way of thinking is similar to mine.
There are many scenes in the movie "Manslaughter" that you need to comprehend and think carefully. Below, I will list my perceptions of the movie as follows:
1. The movie is about prison break from the beginning. Found lying in the coffin with the dead, he screamed, proving with his intelligence and composure that he did not know how to escape in this way. And this dead man was someone he knew.
After watching the film, I found out that this was an implication that Li Weijie decided to surrender himself.
This shows the darkness of the society under which Li lives and the serious corruption of the government. At the same time, La Yun (Sucha's mother), who was suspended from the post of police chief, and her husband who had to give up the mayoral election were so powerful and extremely hypocritical that they tried to get Li Weijie to tell the truth. In the end, Li Weijie was killed by plotting revenge through power and money.
La Yun is a mother who can do anything for her son.
In order to find out the whereabouts of her missing son, La Yun, who was almost crazy and full of hatred, used her power to torture Li Weijie's family to extract confessions and other illegal means, and finally opened a gap in the weak and helpless An An (little daughter).
Having experienced all this, Li Weijie should know the madness of La Yun and the insidiousness of his methods. For such a powerful, cunning, and dangerous opponent, after he had successfully defeated his opponent, he finally took the initiative to surrender. It also proves that Li Weijie, who likes to watch movies, is deeply influenced by movies, because movies often express the victory of justice over evil, and also It means that because of Li Weijie's low cultural quality, La Yun and his wife, who pretended to be tragic and told him, made him not able to judge enough, causing him to be cunning.
Li Weijie's voluntary surrender is extremely stupid.
First of all, families and families who have already suffered huge disasters will suffer again;
Second, wives and daughters are the main parties, and they may also be condemned by conscience and turn themselves in. On the contrary, all three have committed crimes and can be recognized Sentenced to prison, this is the lowest strategy. As a father, does he want to send his unsupported young daughter to a welfare institution? Again, won't Li Weijie with such a high IQ consider the consequences of doing so? At the end of the film, it also shows This stupid way of surrendering himself made Li Weijie voluntarily send himself to the guillotine.
The unreasonable ending arrangement of this phenomenon is also the reason why I don't like the ending of the film. Because why did Li Weijie do this in the film: "I have no ability, my biggest wish is to protect you (family)". Is this kind of surrender of his protection? Or is it a secondary injury to the family? From the perspective of the ending, it is better to let his daughter surrender at the beginning.
Second, Li Weijie's surrender may be due to various reasons.
1. His parents died in the riots and he became an orphan. He did not want to continue the riots because of him (the main factor).
2. The film hints: there is a discovery of conscience; generosity is not recognized; there is a reason for the tower to be built; there is a recurring sheep (scapegoat); Although he escaped the law, he taught his daughter badly, which eventually led him to surrender. Compared with my analysis above,
is too unreasonable.
3. Su Cha, the playboy in the corpse coffin, continued to infringe on Ping Ping, but Ping Ping knocked him out and went into shock. He did not die at that time. In the panic, the mother and daughter mistakenly thought that Su Cha was dead, and that the daughter was weak and the mother was strong.The honest and timid Ayu has become stronger since she knew that her daughter was violated by Sucha. For her daughter, Ayu chose to bury Sucha in the grave.
When the accident happened at home, the movie screen alternately switched to Li Weijie, who was watching a Muay Thai match at the time. In the picture, when a boxer was hit by the other team and went into shock on the spot, the doctor on the field quickly pried open his mouth. The audience next to Li Weijie asked Li: "Why do you pry open the mouth of the shock boxer?" Li replied: "Swallow tongue, tongue swallow! This is to prevent the shock boxer from suffocating and suffocating." Li Weijie, who has only read elementary school, should also come to the movie.
This paragraph implies that Su Cha, who is committing aggression, was hit on the back of the head with a flat shovel to protect his mother. He was in shock after being hit, but he did not die.
Fourth, in the film, when the family was eating, the youngest daughter, Anan, made a mark on the table with a knife and fork and made a strange noise, but she was stopped by her father. I didn't understand it at the time. It is only understood that the little daughter saw her mother buried (actually, An An did not see and did not know what was in the cloth bag) and the sudden change at home, affected by the tension in her heart and fear, made subconscious actions of anxiety and fear.
It was only later that I realized that Ayu was seen by the younger daughter when she was "burying the body"... After Su Cha woke up in the coffin, she must have heard the sound of picking the coffin board with her hands (the room was towards the grave), because she was too Xiaojia was afraid and didn't know why, so she used a knife and fork to imitate the sound Sucha made when he was digging the coffin board.
5. How was Sucha's body transported? Where was Li Weijie's second burial of Sucha? At the end of the film, when the reporter interviewed the grocery store owner, why did he smile so brightly? Li Weijie's personality and wisdom will never ask others to help him transport.I think the second burial site was buried in the pit under the cable line of which project he undertook. Does Zhiru's splendid smile from the grocery store owner indicate that Li Weijie's escape was organized and operated by him?
6. Questions about the video
Why put a sheep in the coffin?
1. Li Weijie offended Sang Kun because he couldn't stand the various actions of the policeman Sang Kun.
Sang Kun was about to shoot Li Weijie and finally shot a sheep. Sang Kun may not know that he killed a sheep, maybe he does, but someone can prove that Sang Kun shot and killed the sheep.
2. When Li Weijie moved the corpse for the second time, he must have found the traces of Sucha on the coffin board, because it is easy to find the traces of human fingernails, so he should have dealt with the traces;
3. After the accident at home, The father (Li Weijie) repeatedly asked the mother and daughter that Sucha did not bleed after her death. When the corpse was removed, Li Weijie found bloodstains and scratches on the coffin board. At that time, Sucha's fingers, who were struggling to death, should all be torn. Li Weijie knew that Su Cha was not dead at that time, but was buried alive and suffocated to death.
4. Therefore, Li Weijie just used the blood of the dead sheep to cover up the bloodstains, and
the dead sheep were left in the coffin, but I think any explanation is far-fetched.
A Ayu moved someone else's ancestral grave and Layun believed it, but no body was found, which made the police passive.
A Yu and Ping Ping found that the body was missing and there was a sheep in the cloth bag. The two knew that this could only be done by Li Weijie.
B Neighbors and the descendants of the deceased in the ancestral graves should also be suspicious of the sheep in the ancestral graves, proving that the ancestral graves were indeed moved before the police dug the graves.Why do people do this? What is the purpose? Of course, there is no evidence to prove that Li Weijie must have released the sheep. Li Weijie will not say that he released it by himself. It is a taboo to dig up other people's graves.
C On the one hand, if you carefully investigate the bullet holes in the sheep, on the other hand, when Su Cha wakes up in the coffin, there will always be bloodstains spilled into the coffin when she digs the coffin board desperately. Although the traces that were cut out were handled by Li Weijie, they were always unreasonable and doubtful. Over time, the police will always find answers. Because these doubts will point to Li Weijie.
D A heavy rain during the digging of the grave and the intense conflict at the site all indicate that the site has been greatly damaged. Perhaps the descendants of the ancestral graves who have been dug have destroyed the deceased and other things after going through all this. The
movie only makes sense in this way.
Only Li Weijie's family can escape successfully.
As long as Sucha's body cannot be found, Sucha is a missing person, because there is no evidence, and he cannot be convicted.
7. BUG
in the video: Li Weijie wore a baseball cap while handling the Sucha car. At that time, he was seen by corrupt policeman Sang Kun and the noodle stall owner who were having breakfast far away. During the later police investigation, the noodle stall owner denied all the allegations. The person who sees it must be Li Weijie.
And what I want to say is that Li Weijie, as a person with high anti-reconnaissance ability, went home in the same clothes and baseball cap after handling the car, which is not logical. He can barely make a point of not changing his clothes, which baseball caps and shoes should at least be thrown away.
The police falsely reported that hair that was not the deceased was found in the car, which made Li Weijie lose his temper.Sang Kun firmly identified Li Weijie who drove the Sucha car (only saw the back, but what he should have seen was the back wearing a baseball cap, and when the police searched Li's house, it was not logical to omit this.
Of course, maybe Sang Kun didn't see it clearly, and just tried to frame it. But the film shows that Sang Kun, who has many years of police experience, believes in his own eyesight, and after Sang Kun also saw the video of the abuse from Sucha, a student who came back from the United States, Sang Kun In order to show loyalty to the police chief, I will repeatedly compare the scenes I see in my mind.
8. About the title of the film
The names of Li Weijie's two daughters together are safe, but in the film, the honest duty of longing for peace, Helping others, having a sense of justice, thrifty and family management, a good father, a good husband, and a good neighbor Li Weijie, who has the courage to sacrifice himself for his family, has not lived a peaceful life. On the contrary, in a country where corruption is prevalent, he, a high-ranking common man, has sacrificed his life for it. The price! His wife and daughter also paid a huge price. Everything that happened will leave a permanent shadow on her daughter's lifelong pain, and his family has since fallen into darkness and is no longer complete.
"Manslaughter", in the end Who killed whom by mistake?
Who killed Li Weijie? Who "killed" the once peaceful family? Who caused the street violence? Cha was able to get drugged and commit rape; when Su Cha was daring and continued to threaten Ping Ping; when Su Cha was so shameless that he wanted to eat both mother and daughter; what is the profound reason behind this? When Su Cha was "beaten to death" "When; the two young ladies in the back row of me in the movie hall said: "It's good to be killed"! Although the crime does not lead to death! But this is the "direct" voice of the ordinary people!
