tearjerker director

"The Invisible Guest" is certainly not perfect, or suspense and reasoning films have never been so-called perfect and impeccable.

But "The Invisible Guest" at least did it, and there are no obvious loopholes in logic, which is already very good.

As netizens commented, at least the director did not treat the audience as fools.

Of course, not everyone likes it, and there will always be a small group of people who like to find fault.

So when "The Invisible Guest" expanded its screening scale, people naturally began to "everyone is drunk and I am sober"!
Are there any thorns in "The Invisible Guest"?
Of course there are!Like the case itself.

"Isn't it time to let Laura go? How big is it to cause so many troubles? The fake defender was stuck in traffic on the real defender's road during the day and late into the night? The male protagonist didn't doubt it but became more and more convinced? What nonsense, using the defender's money to scold the mother . In reality, I won’t let her get out of here. I’m so powerful. Arranging something to go in is not a piece of cake. Why tell her? Can you tell her? "

"It's no problem to find a barrister and go through your own personal lawyer, but if you haven't seen it once, it's a bit fake, right?"

"To put it simply, the male protagonist was in a car accident. For the sake of the subsequent plot, the director had to let him kill someone, otherwise it would be over. There is no logic at all.

But this setting is very unreasonable. First of all, for a simple traffic accident, I don’t understand the laws of Hong Kong Island, but I don’t think the penalty will be too heavy, right?It is estimated that it can be solved by losing money and the like, and even prison is not necessary.Then the matter that can be solved by losing money, if you insist on killing people, the hero is not short of money.

Some people say that the male lead was afraid that the affair would be revealed, and there was no probe there at the time. After calling the police, let the female lead get out of the car and leave first. Isn’t this a very simple matter? How could it be discovered? Why bother? To cover up such a simple traffic accident, if the wife asks why she went to that place (because the male protagonist in the plot told his wife that the business trip is in another place), just find a reason to talk about it, being the boss of a company, this point The ability to fool is still there.

There are too many people. After the traffic accident breaks out, it will affect the development of individuals and companies. This is simply ridiculous.Why can this ordinary traffic accident talk so much.Would you not use their products because the owner of a company had a car accident, so you think his company is not good?Obviously not. "

Is there any truth to what these people say?

It must be reasonable, but this involves a more interesting issue, that is, conventional and unconventional issues.

Because different people make strange decisions when facing different things.

Therefore, such nitpicking has no bad effect on the movie, because whether it is reasonable or not, although it is very important for suspense reasoning movies, in fact, it is not very important.

Why do you say that?

Because, what you said is that the routine is reasonable and the routine is unreasonable, but the problem is that the hero of the movie is unconventional.

There was no need for people from the publicity department to say anything, and soon some netizens spontaneously refuted.

One netizen even left a message directly: "Your life must be very boring, right?"

Then another netizen said: "He is not boring, on the contrary, he is normal. If the male protagonist is as normal as him, there will be no complicated and tortured things later. A traffic accident caused by a wild animal is a normal For the boss, are there any thorny problems that can’t be easily solved?
But he ignored a question, that is, is the actor a normal person?The answer is no, can a normal person create hundreds of millions, even billions, or tens of billions of assets from scratch?And it can be seen that the hero is a brutal egoist, so there will be a subsequent plot.I can't tolerate stains, so I want to hide the accident, because hiding the accident kills a person who can live.Because he was afraid of surrendering himself, he killed the heroine who had an affair.

I don’t know if he is boring or not, but if you think this process is normal, then I have reason to think you are brainless! "

"That's the interesting thing. It's not that there are many TV dramas with all kinds of domineering presidents and white-collar elites, but in fact they are very different from reality. Why? Because the screenwriters of those TV dramas , or the authors of novels, many actually don’t know the real situation of these people, these professionals, everything is just based on their own cognition.

In the same way, rich people and entrepreneurs are actually very far away from us. Everyone thinks what they are like and what they should be like, but in reality?This is also just the imagination of ordinary people. In comparison, I think it is a bit ridiculous to question these. After all, director Li Yi obviously understands this kind of people better than us, and he even is this kind of person. One of them, isn't it? "

Controversy, there will be topics when there are arguments. This is really not a bad thing for movies.

The fact is also the same. With the emergence of controversy, more people became more and more curious about this movie.

Inevitably, as more and more people watch the movie, spoilers gradually began to increase.

However, there is no situation where the audience is affected by the spoiler, or it has an impact, but it is not too great.

The main reason is that most of the time, even if some people spoil the movie, they will not write it for you from beginning to end. After all, if you really dare to do that, they will teach you how to behave in minutes.

Therefore, the spoilers are actually scattered, and some netizens confuse the audience, so those who read these comments become more and more confused.

Then it will naturally attract them to go into the theater and see for themselves.

The focus of film critics and the general public is different. After all, they need to interpret something different from ordinary audiences to attract attention.

As the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", Zhou Qingquan is also Li Yi's old friend.

He has watched "The Invisible Guest" several times, and has written and deleted film reviews, deleted and written them again.

Because there are really many things that can be discussed and interpreted about this movie.

The so-called thousands of people have thousands of faces, different people will have different results when they look at the same thing, let alone movies?
As a veteran film critic, Zhou Qingquan naturally disdains spoilers to attract readers.

Therefore, after thinking about it, he took the title of the movie: "The Invisible Guest" as the starting point for interpretation.

"People have two sides. Some say that human nature is inherently good, while others say that human nature is inherently evil. However, this topic is not the key to our discussion, because whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil is just a starting point.

Different people have experienced different lives, grew up in different environments, experienced different people and things, and there will be separation points between good and evil.

The movie does not show the whole of a person's life, but only a part, so there is a clear definition of good and evil.

I think the title of the film "The Invisible Guest" is very interesting.

Judging from the plot of the movie, the movie "The Invisible Guest" is an interrogation of the evil "guest". The story presents the most evil side of human nature in life. The "ugliness" it shows is a person who violates the normal social order, including the protagonist's rampant lust, irrational killing, conspiracy and other criminal behaviors that violate morality and make people criticize.

It has been said that the choice and self-determination of human nature do not come from the rationality of the will, but from accidental motives and the dependence of such motives on the perceptual external world.When a person is faced with an emergency, it is inevitable that he will panic and lose his original reason. However, the hero Chen Dean did not rein in the precipice in time for his serious mistakes. Instead, he tried every means to frame and cover up and weave lies , in the end more lies are needed to make up.It has become a truly human game.

When you see the controversial topics on the Internet, do you think the occurrence of the case is logical?

I think this is completely unnecessary, because in reality, the same and similar cases often have different processes and results.

Everyone has their own good and evil, and the film is just the result of choosing "evil".

In fact, what the film brings to the audience is discussion and controversy about human nature.Human beauty and human ugliness have always been in a symbiotic relationship. Under the obvious ugliness, there must be a beautiful side of human nature.If "beauty" is the harmonious unity of purpose and regularity, and is pure beauty, then "ugliness" is the denial and destruction of this pure beauty.This kind of aesthetics is a concrete reflection of things. It widens and expands the distance between beauty and ugliness, making the beautiful more beautiful and the ugly even uglier.

The ugliness of human nature positively described in the film is also mixed with the thrilling beauty of human nature, just as well-meaning passers-by will enthusiastically reach out to help when they see a murderer in a car accident; The victim's parents who helped repair the car were warmly received. Aren't they all facing life with good intentions?In the end, passers-by were bribed and bought, and developed in the direction of "ugliness in human nature", but we cannot deny the beauty of conscience hidden in his heart before, and the parents of the victim, when they realized that their son had encountered an accident, sought explanations and justice all the way. The road to life is full of ups and downs, and it is necessary to carefully set up a bureau and spend a lot of effort to force the murderer to utter the truth. Isn't this the greatest family relationship among human emotions?Isn't what family affection presents is a special kind of human beauty?
In ancient Greece, people have been obsessed with beauty and pursuit of beauty, but they did not remove ugliness from the scope of beauty.Although people's aesthetics has begun to distinguish the boundaries between beauty and ugliness and oppose beauty and ugliness, the value of ugliness contrasting beauty and highlighting beauty has been valued. "The Invisible Guest" shows the ugliest and darkest side of human nature, that is, "ugliness of human nature", and what can stir people's hearts and make people think deeply is undoubtedly the long distance between the desolate status quo and the beautiful expectations , when the "beauty of human nature" becomes more and more imaginative, a sensitive heart can no longer bear the overflowing sadness, forcing thoughts to explore the truth of life in the abyss full of thorns.As a painter said: "The dense leaves and occasionally withered branches will suddenly grow; the new trunks or raw denudation will make you look paler."

"The Invisible Guest" told the audience many so-called "truths", and the film's ingenious shooting techniques made the audience nod to the "truth" again and again.The actor Chen De'an's weak appearance makes people involuntarily think that he is indeed innocent, and begins to guess who the murderer is and why he did it.Even under the pressure of lawyers, when he finally told the superficial "truth", we are willing to believe that it is the shrewd Laura with a neat short hair who dominates all this, while he just An honest man with a deep conscience.Inertial thinking makes us subconsciously believe that the protagonist must be innocent. Besides, the hero has a dejected and pitiful face. Who would speculate whether such an honest person has something to hide?
This is the interesting part of the movie, because as mentioned earlier, people have two sides, but what the movie shows is not that the hero has two sides. In fact, he has only one side all the time, and the other side in the show is always just a show. here.

But in the world of millions of things, "ugliness" is ubiquitous. Although it is ugly, it must be abandoned by human beings in the end, but as an abstract form, ugliness also has aesthetic value.Regarding the ugliness of human nature, on the one hand, it not only serves as a contrast, foil and contrast to the beauty of human nature, but also enriches, expands and liberates the latter, enhancing the value of human beauty and making people feel the rich connotation of human nature. It is precious and worthy of people's cherishing and cherishing.

Through the wonderful storytelling of the film, another veil of human nature is unveiled for us. We can't help but sigh that not everything in all things is humanly beautiful. In fact, ugliness is dormant around us all the time. Grace and vulgarity hide behind the sublime, good and evil coexist, darkness and light embrace each other.This contradictory relationship is not a declaration of romanticism, but a correct reflection of objective existence, which deeply reflects a special aesthetic view of real life.

The irony is that although the male protagonist shows the ugly side of human nature, after seeing those comments, it seems that a life, under the influence of the male protagonist's money and power, will only be settled by losing money. This kind of Taken for granted, isn’t it a kind of abnormal human nature?
When life is equated with money in people's perception, it is a great sadness in itself!Because this proves that our aesthetics has unconsciously begun to become deformed.

The good and evil of human nature may not be clear to onlookers, and those in authority may not be confused! "
