Update at 8:51 on November 1st:
After observation, the number of "useless" clicks on this film review on the evening of October 30th increased sharply (about 800). In addition, many personal attacks appeared in the comment area (click on the speaker's homepage, usually just registered account). The reason is unknown, only the phenomenon is recorded.
Let's talk about it from the perspective of the plot and the protagonist.
1. First talk about the irrationality and major loopholes in the plot. First, after the incident, it proved that Zhou Dongyu and Yi Yangqianxi's underground relationship did not need to be monitored, and there was no need for so many drama-like interrogations. Only one thing was needed to check the call records between the two. Of course, someone can bargain, maybe they didn't talk to each other. However, after Yi Yang Qianxi was taken as the subject of the rape case investigation, the first thing that came out was to call Zhou Dongyu. Of course, he didn't get through, so the call records can still be found without the call. Let me continue. After Yi Yang Qianxi was investigated as a suspect in the murder case, one thing the police would do is to search his residence. Did he immediately find traces of Zhou Dongyu's life? Is it really okay to use the investigator as a idiot to advance the plot? Second, in the end, in order to respond from the beginning to the end, forcibly pretending to be coercive and playing with the structure. Oh, it turns out that Dongyu Zhou relied on his own efforts to obtain the opportunity of higher education in some way after he was released from prison, and finally became an English teacher in a training institution. Of course, it can be viewed as an inspirational plot. Then again, in order to respond from the beginning to the end, Zhou Dongyu also encountered a little girl who seemed to be bullied by the school in the training institution school. Just ask, has campus bullying spread to cram schools? Can't help but feel emotional.
2. Legal issues are full of loopholes. First, according to Article 281 of the Criminal Procedure Law, for juvenile criminal cases, the juvenile criminal suspect or defendant’s legal representative shall be notified to be present at the time of interrogation and trial. If the notification is not possible, the legal representative cannot be present, or the legal representative is an accomplice, other adult relatives of the juvenile criminal suspect or the defendant, and representatives of the school, work unit, basic-level organization in the place of residence, or juvenile protection organization can also be notified to be present , And record the relevant situation. However, in the play, when Yi Yang Qianxi was interrogated as a minor, it was a pity that no one other than the police was present. Second, in criminal proceedings, people other than lawyers are not allowed to meet before the judgment takes effect. Family members of criminal suspects are not allowed. But unfortunately, at the end of the play, Dongyu Zhou was even taken into the detention center as the subject of investigation and Yi Yang Qianxi completed a crying scene called the queen and actress level that was so silent and full of acting skills. Think you are acting as a memory of murder? Where is Song Kanghao? Third, the drama finally informed Zhou Dongyu in the form of subtitles that he had been sentenced to four years for death due to negligence, and did not mention whether Yi Yang Qianxi was punished by law, giving the audience a feeling that Yi Yang Qianxi did not commit a crime. But in fact, Yi Yang Qianxi's behavior in the play should constitute the crime of helping to destroy and forging evidence, and should also be punished by law. The misleading of Yi Yang Qianxi’s innocence caused by the show not only wastes an opportunity to popularize law, but also makes it more difficult. Fourth, when the girl jumped off the building and died, once it was found to have committed suicide, no matter what the reason behind it, it had nothing to do with the police, let alone the police coming to the school to talk to the students. In fact, if you think about it carefully, the creator should have hired a legal adviser, but it may be necessary for the plot, and because the audience doesn't understand it, so they just messed up. The director might say: Then you tell me that you can't see each other in the detention center, so what's the point of my speechless choking scene? To put it bluntly, still don't take your audience seriously.
3. Talk about the protagonist's acting skills. The acting skills of the two protagonists are one of the key promotional content of the play. Before entering the movie theater, I saw comments on Weibo such as "The movie king has booked in advance" and "The Central Academy of Drama can no longer teach Yi Yang Qianxi." After reading it, I found that I was still too young and was deceived by the navy. Maybe in the eyes of fans, what is acting? Of course, it was Zhou Dongyu cutting off her long hair (of course, the hair did not grow after the college entrance examination scores came out, and I don’t know why), and Yi Yang Qianxi’s face was covered with scars and mud. What does this mean? This means that the idol has let go of the baggage of the idol! Represents as a professional actor abandoning the image of fresh meat, sacrificing modeling, and paying only for the plot. It made me feel the sacrifice spirit of Christian Bale, Matthew McConaughey, etc. in order to gain weight and lose weight in acting. People have paid so much, why can you spray them with bad acting skills? Sorry, I really didn't see any acting skills. Acting is too mysterious, but it's not crying or shouting, or putting on makeup that the beaten mother doesn't recognize is acting. For example, the last time the detention center choked silently. Laugh first and cry later, but acting is really not acting with two lip tremors. Would you like to see "The Thief Family" for the same type? Go to see the process from normal to crying silent tears under the long lens of Ando Sakura, and to see the final silent choking in Song Kanghao's "Reminiscence of Murder". That is called acting. You can't just say that he has acting skills because he is better than Lu Han in "Shanghai Fortress". The tall one drawn from the short man is never tall.
Let's talk about plagiarism
4. A man’s secret love for a woman. One day the woman lost his hand and caused the death of others because of a dispute with others. The man stepped forward when he saw the crime and used his own power to cover up the facts of the crime, and he did not hesitate to portray himself as a pervert The image of a sex criminal is just to take all the sins under her own name, so as to avoid the woman’s imprisonment. Reluctantly encountered wit and entangled after investigation, in the end the man failed to realize his original wish. Do you think I'm talking about "Devotion of Suspect X"? It's not necessarily true, it may also be "Youth in Youth". If based on the above passages, there are still people defending the film's plagiarism, or entangled in the moral and legal definitions of plagiarism, such people must not be able to distinguish right from wrong, and only talk about their position, without asking right or wrong.
5. In addition to plagiarizing "Suspect X's Devotion", the role relationship between Dongyu Zhou and Yi Yang Qianxi almost copied the relationship between the male and female protagonists in "White Night". I vaguely remember that I heard Zhou Dongyu’s line in the cinema yesterday, “One day, we can walk hand in hand on the street”. This sentence in “White Night Walk” probably corresponds to “I just want to take a walk in the sun holding hands”. And in "Youth of the Young", when Zhou Dongyu said this line, there hadn't even a missed homicide incident, which really makes people wonder why they can't walk on the street holding hands. Is it just to say this pretending line? Even if it is plagiarism, even if it is embarrassingly out of date. In addition, several people repeated the line of the rapist in the Public Security Bureau, obviously plagiarizing the bridge section of "The God of Cookery". In addition, the last two people had a close-up conversation, and finally zoomed out to find out that Zhou Dongyu was wearing a prison uniform and was also convicted. This fragment can not escape the suspicion of borrowing from the fragment of "The History of the Death of Romance".
According to Internet news, the director said that he had never watched "White Night". This statement felt comparable to Nolan, who said he had never watched "Red Pepper". This widespread phenomenon of plagiarism in movies has worsened the unbearable intellectual property environment of the domestic creative market, which is distressing.
Let’s talk about some details from the perspective of supporting actors
6. Talk about the role of several abusers of campus bullying represented by Wei Lai. When a victim just TM jumped downstairs, these people can continue to calmly spill red ink on Zhou Dongyu’s stool in just a few minutes or ten minutes later. What a strong belief in bullying and psychological quality are needed to complete this. . Do you treat school bullying as a career? In addition, I’m in my third year of high school, and I’m still in a recurring class (all have certain exam pursuits), only 60 days away from the college entrance examination. Is there really such a existence of bullying as a student who has passed the college entrance examination? Still three or more. The movie originally wanted to write about campus bullying and also wanted to enrich the plot, so he added the background of the college entrance examination, but the fundamental irrationality of the logic made him a product of far-fetched. Later, Wei Lai committed violence again and eventually caused himself to be pushed downstairs to death. This is a key link in the advancement of the plot. Take a closer look, it's all kinds of far-fetched content forcibly added in order to advance the plot. First, Wei Lai led someone to violent Zhou Dongyu in the alley, and it coincided with the day that the bodyguard Yi Yang Qianxi did not go to work for some reason; second, during the violence, he was interrupted by an upstairs man who opened the window to warn him because of noise. Later, Wei Lai panicked inexplicably, and then made a special trip to find Zhou Dongyu, which is really confusing, you ask Zhou Dongyu to ask the uncle not to call the police. What kind of logic is this? Third, after the violence was over, a huge close-up was given to the huge monitor at the alley. On the one hand, he told the audience that these abusers were stupid, blind, and invisible to the monitor. On the other hand, at least let the police look at the content of the surveillance perspective later, but the result is still the screen recorded on the mobile phone, so why do you monitor so many scenes? Fourth, Wei Lai was afraid because he was afraid that the college entrance examination could not be completed. Can this TM and the image of that frantic and prankster be the same person? Is it schizophrenia? Oh, yes, I can still get into Peking University.
7. Talk about young male police officers. At the beginning of the article, I met Wei Lai, and when I came up, I started to make chicken soup in the car. After a while, I couldn't sleep, and after a while, life was like jumping into the water, which seemed to resonate and empathize with Zhou Dongyu. There was also a conversation with the old policeman in the middle. When it was mentioned whether the young male policeman had been bullied, he turned the subject off, making people think that he would talk about this young policeman, but he didn't end up in a hurry. The most surprising thing is that when I caught Zhou Dongyu on the first night of the college entrance examination, the male policeman changed his face, and he lost a little affection at once, right? It’s a Nima double-faced person, and the resonance created in the front is complete. No more? At this moment, it's okay for you to let that mean-looking and Sima-faced policewoman catch Zhou Dongyu. It is not difficult to see that the director really wants to portray this policeman into the "Devotion of Suspect X", the image of the talented mathematics professor who has a deep relationship with Shishen and stands on the side of the police. However, his ability to tell stories is extremely limited and characterizes The standards were extremely low, which led to a series of actions of the young male policeman who could only express their feelings in confusion.
8. Talk about the female police. The face of Sima who had no reason throughout the whole process asked Zhou Dongyu, "I have let people take nude photos, so I can concentrate on the college entrance examination?" I can't help but suspect that the policewoman and Zhou Dongyu are robbing men, at least there is a certain private grievance. In addition, she was designed to be a pregnant woman just to make Zhou Dongyu say the pretending lines of "Does your child live in this environment", and then the pregnant woman lowered her ashamed face?
9. Talk about the old policeman. The old policeman seemed to be the boss of the two policemen, playing soy sauce throughout the whole process, and had nothing to do with the plot. It was purely a redundant role and made up for the time.
Summarize
In general, this movie, from the beginning of the topic selection, ignoring the fact that the original copy is plagiarized, combining hot spots, precise topic selection, accurate wind direction, and finding popular traffic stars, the combination of the two immediately doubled the effect. This movie has a grand head, seeming to talk about campus violence, but the second half falls on the story of two individuals exonerating their crimes, and in the end, the big theme of campus bullying that was the first focus of attention. In addition to showing the promulgation of various laws with subtitles, there is no more mention. In the popular and widely spread "You protect the world, I protect you", the phrase you protect the world only fell on the last "fairy tale" ending of Zhou Dongyu accompanying students who were suspected of being bullied on campus. , Sloppy. The content of the individual’s exoneration in the second half turns the film into a suspense reasoning movie, and as a suspense reasoning movie, it is full of loopholes and makes people play. The director was piecemeal and very ambitious. There were too many things to talk about, but his level was limited. In the end, he came out with a film that was tasteless in all aspects. In the same genre, "I am not the God of Medicine" focuses on the destiny of the group through the destiny of the individual from beginning to end. The ending, whether sensational or not, is to set off the original theme and see the big from the small. At the beginning, I felt that "I'm not the God of Medicine" was better than choosing the topic. Now thinking about it, after the comparison, I found that the God of Medicine was actually quite good.
In the current era when the domestic film market is deformed and traffic and IP dominate everything, whether it is for social concerns or profit-driven considerations, it is commendable to choose a good and profound theme, but your choice of topic is good, and you shot it. Fortunately, it is not a natural equating sign.
