Blind Detective? Blind love?

My friend didn't like the old handsome guy, but I finally dragged her into the theater to watch "Blind Detective" because of three words - Johnnie To. The title of the movie is enough to make me think about it, "Detective", "Dark War", "Gun Fire", the title of the classic Du's movie is often a concise two words. . . The most recent is "Drug War", but the story bluntly embeds the background of the incident into the mainland. Although it is still exciting, the feeling of the familiar Hong Kong-style movies is not so strong, so it is not enjoyable to watch. This time, I insisted on choosing "Blind Detective" in the theater (the same period of Xiaoshi and Fuer Detective also influenced my choice), because I firmly believe that this is a film full of vivid violent scenes, and the plot is compact, the reasoning is exquisite, and the time Suspenseful, Dou's blockbuster with organs everywhere.
When I walked out of the cinema, I told my friends that the movie was not as good as I imagined, because from my original intention of watching the movie, it was not ideal. From the very beginning, I tried to analyze the development of the case, in order to strip out a flaw in Du Dao's careful thinking. Unexpectedly, the movie is basically a ghost-horse romance in the skin of a suspenseful cop and gangster. I am still wondering why such an old grandmother can have such agile skills, why did the murderer of the morgue choose to follow Johnston instead of angering him When He Jiatong (could it be because of Diaosi's nature to look up to Bai Fumei and hate Gao Fushuai, well, maybe it's just the plot) and other incomprehensible episodes, the movie has already played most of the themes set by Director Du, and he has no intention of arranging and solving the case. The logical interpretation of the story just subtly revealed the changing process of the hero and heroine's feelings through the investigation process, and I ran all the way, but found that the end point was the opposite.
It wasn't until the movie played that the dancers played by Johnston and Gao Yuanyuan danced exaggeratedly, and my friend next door predicted that the dancer was married and was counterattacked by the handsome Zhuang Sir's diaosi friend, the detective. Love movies, and the stories are very old-fashioned, allowing the audience to explore the true meaning of love in the frequent laughter, relaxed atmosphere and brisk rhythm. Director Du took the words of Johnston to make the main point and the whole thing clear before the end of the film: You people with eyesight will become blind because of your obsession with things. The "blindness" here does not refer to the blindness and blindness in the process of investigating the case, but it refers to the blindness of all kinds of characters in the film who have blinded their reason and lost their judgment. When mortals face love, their eyes are fascinated.
Therefore, the title of "Blind Detective" is well-received, and the focus is on "blindness". The word "blind" not only refers to the blind detective, but also alludes to the dialectical relationship between blindness in love. Through the comparison between Johnston's love for the dancer before he became blind, and the two loves he met He Jiatong and became a family after he became blind, a topic that has been litigiously discussed - love at first sight and long-term love. Before he became blind, Johnston's love for the dancer was love at first sight. A glimpse of the world was a familiar scene in many romance novels. In Director Du's story, there was a bit more playfulness. On the premise of rich and beautiful character, hobbies and other connotations, Johnston jumped to the conclusion that if she didn't marry, let Hua Zai in his early fifties play the throbbing of the first encounter that only comes from twenty sons. It was not Director Du's ridicule. It's an adrenaline-fueled infatuation, a crush, not a love. It can be understood that Johnston, who has a good ear and eyesight, was captured by beauty, coupled with his rich imagination, and was overwhelmed by love, so that he still believed that the dancer was the destined "the one" after being blinded. The encounter between Johnston and He Jiatong began by chance, at the end of Qingping, and blossomed and fruited during the unknown return journey. The so-called love does not know where it started, and it goes deep. Johnston couldn't see He Jiatong, so he could only feel this unprincipled and careless female police officer who worshipped him with his heart. After the encounter without a blind eye, two people meet, know each other, accompany each other and finally carry it together, as if the key is inserted into the appropriate door lock, the key lies in the core (heart).
The French for love at first sight is "un coup de foudre", but the literal translation means a thunderbolt. The love of the general public is more about love over time, like a farmer in a field nursery, only after repeated cultivation and trials can the fruit ripen, and it will come naturally, and it cannot be achieved overnight. Of course, I'm not saying that the story of love at first sight doesn't exist, I think this kind of bridge happens more to handsome men and women. The two people who were attracted to each other because of the outside at the beginning are matched because of the inner fit. Naturally, it is a match made in heaven and a goddess. It's a pity that people like to hear about Sima Xiangru's Feng Qiuhuang, which automatically blocks Zhuo Wenjun's white-headed chanting; Bai Suzhen, who is fascinated by myths and legends, will borrow an umbrella for life, and ignore the relationship between Li Xiaoli and her "beast" boyfriend in real life. sweet love.
My friend said it was a good movie. When I wanted to walk out of the theater, she had a deeper understanding of the movie than I did. I was blinded by my own expectations, and when I looked back and thought about it, this was a good comedy romance. Who says love is blind, sometimes love really needs a blindfold. If you can be a one-word teacher, I think "Blind Love" is more meaningful than "Blind Detective". Of course, the box office will not be guaranteed. With a little experience, I would like to pay tribute to Du Cao again.
