Let's take a look at the production team of the film. The director is Peng Haoxiang, the screenwriters include Zeng Guoxiang and Yin Zhiwen, the producers are Chen Zicong and He Chaoyi and his wife, and the production company is Pangzi's "Zheng Film" company. This shows that this film is a film entirely created and led by Peng Haoxiang. So, in addition to expressing great anticipation, I basically waited for the movie to be released.
At the beginning of the movie, the suspense and horror atmosphere is quite level. I'm not surprised by this. After all, Fatty Peng has already "predicted" his talent in another tertiary film "Zhi Ming and Chun Jiao" that was released before. As an opening, this murder scene was wonderfully shot. But this scene is actually far from simple as the opening, it is the starting point of the second narrative line of the film.
Well, if the timid is a little nervous to see this scene, then Fatty Peng cleverly followed the editing and introduced the cast and crew. Judging from the effect of the finished film, we can indeed see that Fatty Peng is very attentive: when the cast and crew list cuts through the scene, the background floors are densely packed, and the depressed people can't breathe, so that the audience can understand the film at once the overall tone.
After the cutscene is over, the next scene is the prelude to the murder scene in the title, mainly introducing some basic information about the heroine He Chaoyi to the audience. This part of the scene is like a program, it is a must go, and there is nothing to say. Here I just want to break down Fatty Peng's "little cleverness" -- He Chaoyi and colleagues gathered in the corner during a break, smoking and talking about how to make extra money. Audiences who have watched "Zhiming and Chunjiao" will naturally think of that smoky romance film - always promoting their own movies, this is Pang's cleverness.
When I saw Eason Chan and He Chaoyi's stealing scene, I couldn't help laughing: Eason Chan is still a standard "cheap", and He Chaoyi is always a bit dusty in front of men. This scene seems to be optional, but it is actually intended to add an extra clue to the transformation of the heroine later.
After watching this stealing scene, the camera jumps to the follow-up part of the murder scene at the beginning. We can have a scene full of Hong Kong flavor - the Filipino maid is chatting on the phone while gossiping about the master's private affairs. This undoubtedly adds a breath of life, but who knows if the fat man is complaining through the movie? Well, the next killing officially begins! The pierced eyeballs, the brutally killed pregnant women, and the bloody sets all make people gasp. By the way, Michelle Ye's acting is really of a high standard, and it's very good to act without stealing the show.
Okay, after successfully solving the two corpses and three lives, then the reflection of the glass connects the two narrative lines. Let's go back to He Chaoyi's boyhood and see how the female murderer a minute ago changed.
In this scene, which is a bit nostalgic like "The Thief of the Years", my nerves were temporarily relieved, and it could even be said that there were a few points off the scene. But Xu Shaoqiang's sentence "What's going on? Damn, they've always been in control!", the super strong line brought me back to the plot and reminded me that this is a third-level movie related to the house.
Immediately afterwards, the camera turned again and returned to the murder scene. The body of the pregnant woman played by Michelle Ye was not cold, and her cheating husband happened to come home. So, let's continue to watch the heroine's personal killing performance: the same violence, the same chilling.
Continue the first narrative line, and then tell the previous story of the female murderer. In fact, it is to continue the matter of the house, and tell the story of why the heroine must buy the house of Victoria No. 1, and how she wants to kill after the setback of buying the house.
Continue the killing game, this time targeting a group of languid young men in the next house. From then on, Fatty Peng began to lose control: the form outweighed the content, and the sex scenes full of gimmick-like vulgarity completely destroyed the overall effect of the film.
In the following memories, let us see how the female murderer fell into the abyss of sin step by step - in order to get a lot of compensation, she watched her biological father die, no, it should be said to be murder! Cold-blooded murder!
He can be indifferent to the death of his close relatives, and the evil in the heart of the devil is completely released. So we saw that she continued to raise the butcher's knife, and after killing the five youths, she then killed the two police officers who came to investigate. At this point, this bloody killing game ended, with eleven corpses and twelve lives. What an outrageous number!
The film comes to an end. The porter's sentence "After the wardrobe is placed in the room, the bed can't be placed.", with the voice-over at the end, coincidentally broke the whole killing, as if mocking the female devil: the agency is too clever, and it ends up being a waste. field.
As a film that is positioned as a tertiary film, compared with similar Hong Kong films, this film boldly exposes many social problems, such as the skyrocketing property prices, the rift between Filipino maids and their employers, and the man who supports his family going north to be a mistress. , young people's life is corrupt and degenerate, and so on. These are real and acute social problems in Hong Kong. We can get a glimpse from this film and realize that a filmmaker's attention and responsibility for social issues must be affirmed, which is rare.
After watching this movie, it reminded me of the trickery of "Zhiming and Chunjiao", the explosive opening of "Murderer", the unique narrative of "Memento", and the thrilling plot of "Human Char Siu Bao", and I remembered the potential between them. of intricate relationships. But as an independent film, its flaws are indeed too obvious: in terms of narrative, the fragmented narrative is immature, as if the fragmented story is pieced together, which looks messy and not smooth. The story itself seems to have the suspicion of following the trend and plagiarism. But compared to the plagiarism king Fatty Wang, we can't help but say that Fatty Peng really has his advantages and his shrewdness. It's not a good thing to imitate bluntly, but if you can imitate your own unique style, that's where you can see the level. Undoubtedly, Fatty Peng achieved this.
After the last "The Most Pure Love 3 Movie in History", thank Fatty Peng for dedicating such a wonderful 3rd movie to us! Beyond the movie, what I want to say is that the housing market continues to rise, but we won't go to extremes.
