Chapter 1,540 A Horrifying Interpretation If You Think About It
The overall evaluation of "Unexpected" is only over 7 points for the original version, which can be considered as above the passing line, but it cannot be said to be excellent.
In Li Yi's version, there are actually not many changes, but perhaps because of the easter egg at the end, or the changes that the audience calls the real ending, the score of this movie has been increased a lot.
At least 8 points have been achieved.
Film critic Liu Fei also wrote his review of this movie.
""Accident" may not be a wonderful movie, but it is definitely novel enough.
That sentence in the movie promotional video: All accidents can be caused!
I have to say this is a very interesting and innovative idea.
Traditional assassination techniques are outdated. A true expert should be good at creating various "accidents" and use a series of well-premeditated chain reactions to plunge the target into an infinite dead end.
In fact, this just raises an enigmatic proposition: can coincidence be created?
Friends with a computer major know that even the most advanced electronic computer must follow a certain fixed algorithm, that is, "pseudo-random numbers" in the way it creates random numbers in the virtual world.
He Guohui and others in the movie "Accident" are masters of creating "pseudo-random numbers" in the real world. The "pseudo" of pseudo-random numbers.
The reason is that both its ontology and its premeditated process are extremely complex, making it difficult for outsiders to see through. The limitations of human wisdom just provide a convenient door for masters to carefully calculate and create all kinds of artificial coincidences. Once these pseudo-randomnesses occur,
When numbers are created, they can often burst out with amazing energy, causing many things to be subverted and reversed seemingly inadvertently, thereby achieving the ulterior motives of the masters.
From the beginning of the movie, I never guessed the ending. Every minute I watched, I was looking forward to how it would end in the next minute!
While I was watching, I was always wondering, was this an accident or not? In other words, while I was watching, my mind was always doubting and wondering about the protagonist. In fact, I was very suspicious of Chen.
Fangzhou's expectations were too high. He hoped that he could also create some accidents, so that He Guohui, who had always been a professional accident maker, would also have a taste of what accidents are. Unfortunately, there were no accidents. However, although he was a little lonely, after watching the ending, even he felt that everything was wrong.
Everything is not unexpected and I feel it is so unexpected!
To put it simply, when I saw Chen Fangzhou stabbing He Guohui in the chest, I was quite surprised. What was unexpected was that the ending was a bit... anticlimactic?
But when the easter egg appeared, I was completely stunned! Unexpected, really unexpected!
Let’s talk about Ho Kwok-fai, the brains of the “Accidental” quartet!
I have to say that Director Li Yi led a team of young screenwriters to create this character in a very interesting way.
A killer who specializes in creating accidents, he is indeed outrageously cautious, and even has persecution paranoia, as netizens commented.
But there is undoubtedly a reason for all this!
At first I thought he was a cold-blooded killer with no moral bottom line.
Of course, what moral bottom line does a killer want?
But for a movie, for a movie protagonist, he needs it!
Because he was extremely cautious in doing things, the team was able to do it so many times without any problems. Regarding the cigarette butt matter, some netizens commented that it was very common and the police would not pay attention to it at all.
But as an accident maker, he cannot believe in any accidents!
Therefore, what was originally a small matter will inevitably become a big matter.
Why did he wait until the last minute when taking the subway? Because he was afraid of being followed.
Because he himself does this kind of thing, when they do this kind of cases, they must often observe and observe the target's living habits.
So what if he becomes someone else's target?
Let’s look at the remaining “humanity” in He Guohui!
Where to start?
Starting from Mr. Huang’s father, the paralyzed old man!
From a probability perspective, we can actually imagine that the probability of success in the second case is lower than the other two, and the possibility of an accident is higher than the other two.
But why did He Guohui still choose to use such a complicated method?
Many people are saying, shouldn't it be easier to cause an accident for a paralyzed old man?
But I think this is the essence of the movie.
Because we can see that the first victim in the movie is the boss of the society. It can be said that such a person cannot be called innocent, right?
Therefore, there is no need to worry about killing him!
But what about the second one?
The paralyzed old man is undoubtedly innocent. Therefore, through various signs in the movie, it can be seen that although He Guohui treats everyone equally on the surface, in fact, there is hesitation towards this goal.
This can be seen from the fact that when the other party has an unexpected problem due to an accident they caused, he directly calls it quits and the corner of his mouth curls up slightly.
As a professional killer, he had to do this, but personally, it was obvious that he still had some hesitation about murdering an innocent person.
This also paved the way for his final "prodigal son's return".
If he had been a cold-blooded killer before, then in the last scene, even if he knew that he had made a mistake, if he was a cold-blooded killer, it would be wrong if he was wrong. Why bother to make something that is obviously different from ordinary people?
action?
To block the light?
It's because there is still a trace of "humanity" left in him!
That's why he did that in the end. Otherwise, what kind of person is he?
An extremely cautious person! Doesn’t he know that doing so will expose himself?
But he still did it, so this character is not just a cold-blooded killer!
In this way, the transformation is not so sudden, because he still retains his humanity!
The appearance of the amnesiac old man at the end is, so to speak, meaningful!
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! His story is not shown in the movie, but I think this ending will definitely at least elevate the movie to a higher level.
This is not some kind of mystique, not some matryoshka doll, but the outcome of a lot of foreshadowing that was carefully planned and carelessly laid out.
Foreshadowing 1: The old man has amnesia, but why didn’t he forget during the discussion?
Foreshadowing 2: The old man in his sixties mentioned by Chen Fangzhou fell from the second floor because the window sill was loose. Many of us may think it is too coincidental at first glance, right?
But what about in reality? If we work backwards, if there is a case like this first, and then the amnesiac old man follows this case, everything will fall into place.
Foreshadowing 3: Every critical moment, the old man would always call He Guohui! He had amnesia, he couldn’t even recognize He Guohui, he only remembered that his wife had been in a car accident, but he just remembered his phone number...
Why not someone else? Why him?
Why do you go to him when you ask for help? So it’s just right?
Isn't this too coincidental?
But if everything was based on the premise that he was monitoring He Guohui and Chen Fangzhou, then would everything be taken for granted?
Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard!
He is the real master!
Because he knew everything about He Guohui, and knew that as an assassin who caused accidents, he had a very serious occupational disease called suspicion.
Because he often creates bizarre accidents, he doesn't believe in accidents in life.
He Guohui mentioned this more than once!
He also knew that with the paranoia of being persecuted and the "accidental" death of his wife, He Guohui was struggling to survive, and he lived in fear every day.
Until he was awakened by the solar eclipse in the end and realized that some things were indeed accidents, he was killed by Chen Fangzhou who was in pain of losing his wife.
All this was expected by the amnesiac old man.
Of course, Director Li Yi still understands people's hearts very well. Why didn't he give the old man an expression, such as a smile, in the Easter egg?
Just the news broadcast on the TV at the hospital?
Because only in this way can the movie be filled with other possibilities.
If the old man is not the mastermind behind the scenes, after watching the movie, you will find that being a bad guy is like practicing forbidden magic, and you will be backlashed by huge emotional pressure.
The person who planned the accidental murder died in a real accident.
Isn't that ironic?
As a hunter, he is also a prey. The huge psychological trap swallows up the male protagonist. His methods are shady, so he is afraid of light and even more afraid of darkness. Wandering outside the law, he avoids external constraints and also loses
He was protected by similar people. So he relied on sensitivity and suspicion to protect himself. He was suspicious of the betrayal of his companions and the investigation of the insurance company. Finally, he was relieved at the moment of death.
But in turn, it has thrown a layer of mystery into the audience. Is the old man the real mastermind behind the scenes?
No answer is needed because everyone has their own answer!
In fact, there is a hidden thread in the movie that promotes the development of the plot, and that is the uncle's Alzheimer's disease.
Putting aside the fact that he is the real mastermind behind the scenes, we can see that first of all, Alzheimer's disease makes forgetting extremely reasonable. The only unreasonable thing is that they have cooperated many times, and the old man also said that this disease has been around for a long time.
, but the brain just knew that it might be some kind of accident.
Let's take a look at a few things that the old man forgot. First, he forgot to collect his cigarette butts. Second, he forgot to release the balloon. Third, he forgot that he caused the tram crash. Fourth, he forgot that he had taken medicine.
The first one happens at the beginning of the story, and through this small incident, the personalities of each character in the team are presented.
Second, the balloon did not block the camera. There may be a metaphor for the camera. The camera is a monitoring tool, much like what we call "the sky". That was the only time the camera saw an "accident" happen, so many things happened later.
A real "accident".
The fourth one became the last "straw" that caused the brain to completely go to extremes.
The third one was that the buried truth finally surfaced at the last moment, causing the story to take a new turn - the brain denied everything it imagined.
The most exciting part of the film is the solar eclipse sequence. Metaphors of light and darkness fill the entire film, including the extinguishing of light in the brain in a rental house, etc.
A solar eclipse is a natural phenomenon and a symbol of "God's will." The traffic signs that appear twice in the film include a solar eclipse that is rarely seen in our lives. There is a huge black spot on a white background.
, I looked up the meaning of "accident-prone place", which not only corresponds to the theme of the film, but its own symbol also looks very much like a "solar eclipse".
At this time, his brain has lost its sanity, and he is unwilling to accept the reality even if he receives a call from the old man. In fact, he has received a lot of information about the truth before, such as a piece of paper with decoration written on it that fell to the ground, but at this time he has already killed
He has fallen in love with a woman, so if he admits the truth, he will face the harsh condemnation of his own conscience.
Just when he wanted to use light to take revenge on his imaginary enemy, a miracle seemed to happen - in ancient times, a solar eclipse was a miracle. God announced his will to the world and made the light disappear - and his brain's plan failed.
At this time, his brain was given a lens that lost light. He got more information in the dark, and he had to accept the truth.
What the film undoubtedly wants to show is the power of real providence - even after careful calculation, even if it never fails, it is impossible to create "accidents" without any accidents, because there is a real providence somewhere.
In the darkness caused by the solar eclipse, God's will saved insurance brother Chen Fangzhou, and at the same time cleared up the fog in the brain and heart. In the darkness, everything was purified, and originally we often thought that all this was brought about by "light"
. However, just when we thought that God had stopped everything and showed his authority to people, the story ushered in a reversal - the light reappeared, and the brain wanted to prevent the accident from happening, but instead promoted the accident.
In a very short period of time, it forms a kind of irony with the just "God's will" in front of it, so this plot is full of tension.
Immediately afterwards, I imagined that the protagonist would probably die, but I didn’t know what kind of accident he would die from. However, he was stabbed to death by a simple knife. A lot of space was spent on the protagonist monitoring the enemy he considered.
, but his so-called enemy had no plans. Is this also an "accident"?
Accident seems to be a story about people creating accidents, but in essence it is still a story about God creating "accidents".
Of course, this is one kind of analysis, and there is another kind. If the old man is the real "accident" master, then these have another explanation.
There is another hidden thread in the movie, which of course may be my own over-interpretation. For a suspicious person, it is taboo to look at things in the fog. Stubbornness and neurosis will make him regard everything as his enemy.
He Guohui is smart and believes that all accidents can be carefully planned and that he can fight against heaven and man. However, he ultimately misjudged the uncontrollability of the two and was trapped by clues that had no logical connection. Even if he was shaken, he could not extricate himself.
, the slightest movement made him sink deeper and deeper like a frightened bird.
The infinite amplification of malice towards the world is his inner demon. Killing women and Chen Fangzhou's wife is almost foreseeable: this kind of person can't pay even three cents of true love, and his self-esteem and stubbornness make him absolutely unwilling even if he doubts himself.
Refuses to stop.
For Chen Fangzhou, this is really a complete accident: the only difference is whether it is natural or man-made. He cannot blame the natural accident, but he can blame the murderer for the man-made accident.
So has anyone discovered it?
In fact, Chen Fangzhou and He Guohui's experiences became similar at this moment.
In the same way, the wife died in an accident. As for whether Ho Guohui's wife died in an accident, the movie did not explain it.
Chen Fangzhou's wife also died of no accident, at least that's what he thought.
So will he become the next Ho Kwok-fai? With that meticulous and intelligent aura and similar experiences, is it possible for him to become the new Ho Kwok-fai?"
