Of course "The Invisible Guest" is not perfect, or in other words, there is no such thing as perfection and impeccableness in suspense and mystery films.
But "The Invisible Guest" at least did it without obvious loopholes in logic, which is already very good.
As netizens commented, at least the director did not treat the audience as fools.
Of course, not everyone likes it, and there will always be a small group of people who like to find fault.
So when "The Invisible Guest" expanded its screening scale, people naturally began to say "Everyone is drunk but I am sober"!
Are there any thorns in "The Invisible Guest"?
Of course there is! For example, the case itself.
"Isn't it too late to let Laura go? How big is it to cause so much trouble? The fake defender was stuck in traffic on the real defender's road during the day and late into the night? The male protagonist didn't doubt it but became more and more convinced? What nonsense, using the defender's money to scold the mother.
.In reality, I won’t let her get out of here. I’m so powerful. It’s not a piece of cake to arrange something in the car. Why should I tell her? Can you tell me?”
"It's okay to find a barrister and go through your own personal lawyer, but if you haven't seen him even once, it's a bit fake, right?"
"To put it simply, the male protagonist was in a car accident. For the sake of the subsequent plot, the director had to let him kill someone, otherwise it would be over. There is no logic at all.
But this setting is very unreasonable. First of all, it’s a simple traffic accident. I don’t understand the laws of Hong Kong Island, but I don’t think the penalty will be too heavy, right? I guess it can be solved with compensation or even prison.
There is no need to enter. Then the problem that can be solved by paying money must be killed, and the male protagonist is not short of money.
Some people say that the male protagonist is afraid that the affair will be exposed, and there were no detectors there at the time. After calling the police, he asked the female protagonist to get out of the car and leave first, and that would be the end of it. Isn’t this a very simple matter? How could it be discovered? Why do it still happen?
To cover up such a simple traffic accident, if the wife asks why she went to that place (because in the plot, the male protagonist told his wife that he was on a business trip in another place), just find a reason to say it, as the boss of a company, this is
The ability to deceive is still there.
There are so many people. After a traffic accident breaks out, it will affect the development of individuals and companies. This is simply ridiculous. Why can this ordinary traffic accident cause so much trouble? Why would you stop using the products of any company owner because of an accident?
So, do you think his company is not good? Obviously not."
Do what these people say make sense?
It certainly makes sense, but this involves a more interesting issue, that is, the issue of routine and unconventional.
Because different people make strange decisions when facing different things.
Therefore, such criticism does not have a bad impact on the movie, because whether it is reasonable or not, although it is very important for suspense reasoning films, in fact, it is not very important.
Why do you say that?
Because you are talking about conventional reasonableness and conventional unreasonableness, but the problem is that the male protagonist of the movie is inherently unconventional.
People from the publicity department didn’t even need to say anything, and netizens quickly refuted it spontaneously.
One netizen even left a message directly below: "Your life must be boring, right?"
Then another netizen said: "He is not boring, but very normal. If the male protagonist is as normal as him, there will be no complicated and tortured things later. A traffic accident caused by a wild animal, for a normal person
For the boss, are there any difficult problems that can be easily solved?
But he ignored one question, that is, is the male protagonist a normal person? The answer is no. Can a normal person create hundreds of millions, even billions, or tens of billions of assets from scratch? And it can be seen that the male protagonist
The Lord is a cruel egoist, that's why there is a subsequent plot. He can't tolerate stains, so he wants to hide the accident. Because hiding the accident, he will kill a person who can survive. Because he is afraid of surrendering and killing the heroine who had an affair.
I don’t know if he’s boring or not, but if you think this process is normal, then I have reason to think you’re brainless!”
"Here's the interesting thing. There are many TV dramas in which there are all kinds of domineering CEOs and white-collar elites, but in fact they are very different from reality. Why? Because the screenwriters of those TV dramas
, or the authors of novels, many of them actually don’t know the real situation of these people and professionals at all, and everything is just based on their own perceptions.
In the same way, rich people and entrepreneurs are actually very far away from us. Everyone thinks what they are like and what they should be like, but in reality? This is also just the imagination of ordinary people. Compared with
At the same time, I find it a bit ridiculous to question these things. After all, Director Li Yi obviously understands this kind of people better than we do, and he is even one of these people, right?"
Controversy, there will be topics when there is controversy, which is really not a bad thing for movies.
This is also true. With the emergence of controversy, more people have become more and more curious about the movie.
And inevitably, as more and more people watch the movie, spoilers gradually begin to increase.
However, there was no situation where the spoilers affected the audience. In other words, the impact was not too big.
The main reason is that most of the time, even if some people spoil the movie, they will not write it for you from beginning to end. After all, if they really dare to do that, they will teach you how to behave in every minute.
Therefore, the spoilers are actually scattered, and some netizens are confusing the information, so those who read these comments become more and more confused.
Then it will naturally attract them to go into the theater and see it for themselves.
The focus of film critics and the general public are different. After all, they need to interpret something different from the general audience in order to attract attention.
As the editor-in-chief of "Film Weekly", Zhou Qingquan is also an old friend of Li Yi.
He has watched "The Invisible Guest" several times, and has written and deleted film reviews, deleted and written them again.
Because in his opinion, there are really many things that can be discussed and interpreted about this movie.
As the saying goes, thousands of people have thousands of faces. Different people will have different results when they look at the same thing, let alone a movie?
As a veteran film critic, Zhou Qingquan naturally does not bother to give spoilers to attract readers.
Therefore, after thinking carefully, he took the title of the movie: "The Invisible Guest" as the starting point for interpretation.
"People have two sides. Some say that human nature is inherently good, while others say that human nature is inherently evil. However, this topic is not the key to our discussion, because whether human nature is inherently good or inherently evil is just a starting point.
Different people have experienced different lives, grown up in different environments, experienced different people and things, and there will be dividing points between good and evil.
The movie does not show the whole of a person's life, but only a part, so there is a clear definition of good and evil.
I think the title of the film "The Invisible Guest" is very interesting.
Judging from the plot of the movie, the movie "The Invisible Guest" is an interrogation of the evil "guest". The story presents the most evil side of human nature in life. As a negative teaching material on the beauty of human nature in real life, it is a
This kind of "ugliness" exists, and the "ugliness" it shows is that a person violates the normal social order, including the protagonist's overflowing lust, irrational killings, conspiracy and other sinful behaviors that violate morality and are criticized.
Someone has said: Human nature's choices and self-determination are not due to the rationality of the will, but to accidental motivations and this motivation's dependence on the perceptual external world. When a person faces an emergency, he will inevitably panic and lose it.
Originally rational, but the male protagonist Chen De'an failed to step back from the cliff in time when he made a serious mistake. Instead, he tried every means to frame and cover up, weaving lies one after another, and in the end more lies were needed to make up for it. It became a real battle.
The game of human nature.
When you see the controversial topics on the Internet, do you think the occurrence of the case is logical?
I think this is completely unnecessary, because in reality, the same and similar cases often have different processes and results.
Everyone has their own good and evil, and the film is just the result of choosing "evil".
In fact, what the film brings to the audience is discussion and controversy about human nature. The beauty of human nature and the ugliness of human nature have always been in a symbiotic relationship. Under the obvious ugliness, there must be a beautiful side of human nature. If "beauty" is in line with the purpose
The harmonious unity with regularity is pure beauty, so "ugliness" is the denial and destruction of this pure beauty. This kind of aesthetics is a concrete reflection of things, which widens and expands the distance between beauty and ugliness.
, making the beautiful more beautiful and the ugly even uglier.
The ugliness of human nature described positively in the film is also mixed with the heart-stirring beauty of human nature, just as a kind-hearted passerby will enthusiastically lend a hand to help when he sees the murderer encountering a car accident; when night falls, when he encounters a stranger in trouble and
They warmly received the parents of the victim who helped repair the car. Aren't they all facing life with good intentions? In the end, the passerby was bribed and developed in the direction of "human nature is ugly", but we cannot deny the potential beauty of conscience in his heart before.
When the victim's parents later realized that something unexpected had happened to their son, their journey to seek explanation and justice was full of ups and downs. They had no choice but to carefully set up a trap and spent a lot of effort to finally force the murderer to confess the truth. Isn't this exactly what happened?
Is family love the greatest of all human emotions? Doesn’t family love present a special kind of human beauty?
In the ancient Greek period, people had persistently loved and pursued beauty, but they did not exclude ugliness from the scope of beauty. Although people's aesthetics had begun to distinguish the boundaries between beauty and ugliness and to oppose beauty and ugliness, ugliness
The value of highlighting beauty and highlighting beauty has been valued. "The Invisible Guest" shows the ugliest and darkest side of human nature, that is, "human ugliness". What can stir people's hearts and make people think deeply is undoubtedly the sadness and misery
There is a long distance between the current situation and beautiful expectations. When the "beauty of human nature" becomes more and more fascinating, a sensitive heart becomes more and more unable to bear the overflowing sadness, forcing the mind to explore the abyss full of thorns to explore the truth of life. Ruyi
A painter said: "The dense leaves and dead branches occasionally add new growth; the new stems may be eroded, and they become increasingly pale."
"The Invisible Guest" tells the audience many so-called "truths", and the clever shooting techniques of the film make the audience nod to the "truth" again and again. The weak appearance of the male protagonist Chen De'an makes people involuntarily think that he is indeed
Innocent, and began to guess who the murderer was and why he did this. Even under the pressure of the lawyer, when he finally told the apparent "truth", we were willing to believe that it was the man with the neat hair.
Laura, who has short hair and shrewd performance, dominates all this, and he is just an honest person who is deeply troubled by this. Inertial thinking makes us subconsciously think that the protagonist must be innocent, and the male protagonist has a depressing face.
With his pitiful face, who would guess whether such an honest man has something to hide?
This is the interesting part of the movie, because as mentioned before, people have two sides, but what the film shows is not that the male protagonist has two sides. In fact, he has always only had one side, and the other side that is shown is always just a show.
Come.
However, in the world of millions of things, "ugliness" is everywhere. Although it is ugly, it will eventually be abandoned by humans, but ugliness, as an abstract form, also has aesthetic value. About human nature
Ugliness, on the one hand, is not only a foil, foil and foil to the beauty of human nature, but also enriches, expands and liberates the latter, improves the value of human beauty and makes people feel the rich connotation of human nature.
Precious, worthy of people cherishing and cherishing.
Through the wonderful story narration of the film, another layer of human nature is unveiled for us. We can't help but sigh that not everything in all things is humanly beautiful. In fact, ugliness is dormant around us all the time, and deformities are close to us.
Beauty and vulgarity are hidden behind the sublime, good and evil coexist, darkness and light embrace each other. This contradictory relationship is not a declaration of romanticism, but a correct reflection of objective existence. It profoundly reflects one aspect of real life.
a special aesthetic.
The irony is that although the male protagonist shows the ugly side of human nature, after seeing those comments, it seems that a life, under the influence of the male protagonist's money and power, will only be settled by losing money. This kind of
Taken for granted, isn’t it a kind of deformed human nature?
When life is equated with money in people's perception, it is a great sadness! Because this proves that our aesthetics has unknowingly begun to become deformed.
The good and evil of human nature may not be clear to onlookers, and those in authority may not be confused!”
