trilogy, one play

In line with the principle of "do everything to get rid of evil", after watching "Play to Kill 1", I also watched 2 and 3.

To be honest, when looking at this series separately, each one is relatively good-looking. There are twists in the plot, there are accidents, and there are no major loopholes. As a genre movie, it can be completely different. However, as a series of movies, the plots are so similar that if you watch them in a row, you can't help but feel a little aesthetic fatigue, and you may even record the plots of the three films together.

Summarize the common points of the three films:

1. The plot is exactly the same. It always starts with two girls tit-for-tat, and leads the police characters by giving lectures in the school, and so on. Especially in the first half, the three can almost be regarded as the same film. It could be the latter part's way of paying homage to the previous one, or it could be a deliberate way to keep the series together, but it's a little too uniform.

2. Always use swimsuit beauties as a gimmick, and even the movie poster is based on this. There are always glamorous but blunt 3P and lesbian scenes in the film. After watching the first two episodes, I thought that the girl who was the real mastermind would not show up, but in the third episode my summary went bankrupt. It seems that the dew point has nothing to do with the character's identity, but with the contract between the crew and the actress.

3. In the end, there will always be a complete comeback, and all the previous conspiracies will be included in the biggest conspiracy, and this biggest conspiracy is always related to the old things revealed in the first half of the film. This old story is actually very important, because for the film, it is obvious that the plot comes first, and the characters serve the plot. The advantage of this is that the plot can be very tortuous, but the disadvantage is that the actors' performances are all led by the plot. Many elements are deliberately made to deceive the audience, and the audience is even more led away. When the audience knows the whole thing, it is bound to ask for a reasonable explanation for the inner motivation of the characters, and this is what the final big comeback plays. Looking back at each one carefully, you will find that the explanations given are not so sufficient, so after watching it, you will always feel that something is wrong.
