In my opinion, "The Detective" is the best film To Qifeng has made since 2000. It seems that the gradually dull Toshi magic water has rekindled after encountering Wei Jiahui's catalyst again. This film naturally has a lot of "shadows", of course, these shadows are unprecedented in Hong Kong films; this film is amazing from beginning to end, and for those friends with limited appreciation, I am afraid it is just a cloud in the mist. It went back and forth, and finally ended for no apparent reason.
The story seems very simple, the police dropped the gun, then the companion disappeared, and then the two robberies, all the answers we wanted to know "spontaneously realized" in repeated reminders, and finally left an ending with a question mark. The ending arrangement at the end of the film is very delicate, but it can be noticed that the process in the middle is equally wonderful.
The so-called "special detective" is not because of his good insight or careful reasoning, but his right brain; the deduction of returning to the crime scene, his self-harm reasoning at the risk of burying himself alive, and the inference that makes people feel a little neurotic. The so-called "God" is probably these places. After Liu Qingyun returned to the Galaxy with Wei Jiahui, he returned to his style and play style in the Galaxy period, but the detective was really startling. The title cut off his ears and gave it to a retired sheriff who had no ghosts in his heart. The virtuous wife he imagined was not following the old rules when handling the case. He could see through people's hearts but couldn't see through his own mystery. It can be said that this is Liu Qingyun's most unreserved film. , This film completely performed a crazy Liu Qingyun, such a role is impressive.
The addition of Wei Jiahui is different from the traditional To Qifeng style in the script. To Qifeng's script is well conceived, but lacks creativity and novelty; the addition of Wei Jiahui makes the script more dynamic, surpassing Lao Du's past routines. Different from the comedy style before the two, the film "Detective" returns to the consistent black style of the Galaxy, but it goes beyond: adding the factor of psychological analysis, the fantasy world and the real world alternate, let this film There are more "psychedelic" colors, and the ugliness, greed, and evil in human nature are visualized, especially the arrangement and arrangement of the ending, which adds a lot of tragic colors to this film.
