Chapter 1,715 Bad people who understand art are also bad people
"The Killer Isn't Too Cold" can be said to be a very special movie in the history of movies in memory.
Because of its obscure taboo emotions, this movie has received mixed reviews, but it is also difficult to say that it is not because of this that this movie has such a unique status and height.
To sum up, Loli has the heart of a royal sister, and Shota has the body of an uncle - evil yet innocent, cruel yet gentle!
However, in a good movie, not only the protagonist should be outstanding, but also the supporting characters and villains should be outstanding.
The villain in "The Killer Isn't Too Cold" can definitely be regarded as one of the classic villains.
It can be said that the black policeman named Stan is no less outstanding in the movie than the male and female protagonists. He is like the villain of Beethoven, crazy, bloody and cruel, all rolled into one.
Ordinary actors may not be able to achieve such an effect.
The roles of the male protagonist and female protagonist in "The Killer Is Not So Cold" are fairly normal, but the role of Stan can definitely make people's eyes brighten.
A good movie must have a good villain.
In particular, this character can be said to be the main villain throughout the entire film. He listens to Beethoven when he kills, and he also likes Mozart. He is a music-loving murderer, so he shouldn't be too deviant.
In terms of roles, the main characters in the film are:
1. Leon is an insecure professional killer. The series of close-ups at the beginning show the audience that he is different from the stereotype of a killer, that he is sincere and kind.
2. Stan, a ferocious bad policeman with cruel methods. But he is also a very distinctive BAD MAN!
3. Matilda, a troubled girl, has a maturity that belies her age.
4. Old Tony, the boss of Lyon, a veteran in the world.
Li Yi naturally discussed the characters in this story with his friends.
"In terms of character relationships: Leon and Matilda, Leon is a lonely person. After work, he goes home alone, takes a shower, buys milk, and takes care of potted plants. Matilda smokes, has scars on her face, and has such a broken personality.
family. But when they met, Matilda smiled and went to buy milk for Leon, and she finally smiled.
After that, they lived together and entered each other's spiritual world. Leon's cold heart was slowly warmed by Matilda, and Matilda also slowly developed special feelings for the naive Leon. Leon taught
They learned many things about Matilda, and the two also felt the beauty from each other. In the end, they were each other's only ones and were willing to give up their lives for each other."
"Matilda and Stan, Stan killed Matilda's favorite brother. He was also the person Matilda hated the most. The whole story runs through the grudge between Matilda and Stan from beginning to end. It also became
It explains the motivations for the characters’ actions in the story, and in the end Leon avenges Matilda.”
"Lyon and Stan, two people who were inseparable, were connected because of Matilda. As Leon's feelings for Matilda became deeper and deeper, the hatred between Leon and Stan also became deeper and deeper.
Until Leon killed Stan's men in order to save Matilda, and the final battle between the two broke out."
"Wait, to be honest, how are you going to deal with the emotional aspect here? If it is too explicit, it will definitely be a bit excessive and it will easily cause controversy." Chen Wen asked.
Li Yi nodded and said, "How should I put it? For Matilda, her mission was revenge. She asked Leon to teach her killer skills, and even went to Stan alone with weapons, and finally Leon accomplished it for her.
For Leon, his mission is to find the beauty in the world. With Matilda, Leon fully felt the joy and hope, and he finally knew where the money he had saved over the years was spent. Until the end, he spent all the money he had saved for Matilda.
He is also happy when he sacrifices himself for Dida.
In fact, I don’t plan to give too much ink to the so-called “emotion” between the two. There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people. Similarly, the relationship between Matilda and Leon can be diverse and taboo.
Love can be a friendship that relies on each other, or it can be a father-daughter relationship...
It mainly depends on the audience’s own understanding!”
"Wait a minute, what about killer Leon? How to change? What do you think? In any case, his profession is indeed a difficult one!" Zhou Guo also asked.
"I've already got an idea for this!" Li Yi said and explained: "I will use a short period of time at the beginning of the film to portray Leon's ruthlessness and fearlessness.
He is a killer, so we must understand through these that as a killer he is the best.
At the same time, it will point out the differences between him as a top killer and other killers.
That is "Don't kill women, don't kill children"!
Therefore, he is not so heartless.
After Matilda witnessed a family being shot dead by Narcotics Superintendent Stan, she pressed the door of Leon's house with a cry and whimpering. When Leon opened the door, he was no longer the killer Leon."
"The second thing is Lyon's daily life. In my imagination, Lyon is a lonely person.
After he completes a business, he will go to the grocery store to buy two cans of milk. After returning home, he will silently take a shower, iron clothes, drink milk, and take care of his friend, the potted plant. He will also go to an empty theater to watch movies alone
A very unpopular musical, through scenes like this, it reveals the loneliness of a middle-aged man who is a killer.
And for the female lead, I would have the character sit in the hallway and smoke!
The rebellious phase of boys comes earlier, so for many people, smoking as a teenager is nothing, but what about a little girl?
But seeing the scars on her face and the environment in which she lived makes people have to sympathize with this little girl.
On the surface, she looked so strong, but when she saw her father lying in a pool of blood, she also cried. Although she said that she shed her blood for her four-year-old brother, there is a saying that the greater the love, the greater the love.
Deep, the deeper the hatred, no one can prove that there is no part of her father in these tears.
For this reason, I hope to downplay the relationship between her and her father, so that the subsequent emotion towards Leon can be understood as the love between father and daughter!" Li Yi thought for a while and continued.
"Actually, I don't understand why it's a killer?" Lin Yunbin suddenly said.
"First of all, a killer's job is to kill people! It sounds hard to think that such a person is not a bad person!
Secondly, because of the special nature of the killer's job, it is difficult for him to have any friends, so his life seems simpler or monotonous than that of many people.
Finally, without Matilda, there is no doubt that Leon would have lived longer, but without Matilda, he would not have lived such a happy life. Without Leon, it would be difficult for Matilda to let go of the huge hatred in her heart.
, answer the question of the orphanage again, and live the life a normal girl should have.
I hope that the character of Leon can subvert the previous impression of killers in our hearts. Although Leon is a killer, the audience cannot hate such a killer who has killed many people. People are more moved and sympathetic.
In other words, I hope that this killer is more like an ancient martial arts person who is both good and evil! Rather than a simple killer!"
"Actually, I think the villain you mentioned named Stan is very special! Can you tell me more about it?" Chen Wen asked again.
"In my setting, Stan is of course a bad guy in the absolute sense. He is a bit perverted and a bit crazy, but he likes Beethoven, understands Mozart, and recommends his prey to try Brahms, but is crazy, cruel and cold.
extremely;
I have always felt that a villain should not be too facial-looking. He should have his own characteristics. Of course, these characteristics are not randomly designed.
In fact, after reading the story, you should know that this villain is a complete villain and a villain, the kind that can never be wiped out.
But this does not affect his liking for so-called art, nor does it affect his love of listening to Beethoven, nor does it affect his understanding of Mozart. His preferences seem so special, but this has nothing to do with whether he is a bad person!
As a killer, Lyon's education level is obviously not that high. He does not understand classic movies, does not know Monroe and Chaplin, but he has found refuge in his cold life and opened the windows and doors of his soul.
I hope to show through this that art can cultivate temperament, but it cannot change the soul - nothing can change the soul, because the soul is deeply rooted and it is people themselves!
It's like the profession of a killer made him cold-tempered, but it couldn't erase the originally warm and tender soul in his heart - that soul stayed silent, lurked stoically, and finally, after accumulating for too long, gave him back to him.
It is like the plant and milk, it comes from nature and cannot tolerate any pollution, but it cannot find its own land.
But it finally came home.
If it is green, it belongs to the soil.
As an innocent daughter, she will definitely belong to another world, but that is the past time that he cannot give in his lifetime, and that he longs for but cannot reach.
In fact, what each of us is looking for is not a mature personality, nor just happiness, but a soul that has been lost for a long time, which belongs to the territory of last night and the castle of the past.
It originates from our childhood dreams.
It has an innocent face like a child.
Children can love, they can fantasize, and they can break the games of the adult world simply by relying on their own survival instincts.
However, people's growth and years of tempering are just abandoning it in the turmoil, being confused by it in love, and suppressing it in the harsh laws of survival, but it is still strong and forbearing, hiding its secrets. You can't see it.
, it has always been there; when we see it, it reveals all the secrets to us. It will always lead us, constantly hiding and revealing like a mystery, until death takes this strange and dazzling dream from us.
Throw it away."
"In my opinion, I actually don't like to directly give them a definition of so-called love.
When Lolita Matida meets uncle Leon, when a rebellious girl with a pure appearance and a cold heart meets a killer with a cold-blooded appearance and a kind heart, they are like parents, masters and apprentices, and lovers. When they meet each other, it is as if their cold hearts are injected with fiery passion.
Magma, the gray life is painted with color, the stomach no longer hurts, I can close my eyes when sleeping, and life begins to have laughter.
Leon's feelings for Matilda are restrained and he is not good at expressing them.
As for Matilda, my actual thought is that although she is more mature than her peers, she is still just a little girl.
So, is the love she speaks out really the kind of "love" we understand?
Is it mixed with other emotions that she herself can’t explain?”
"I understand what you mean. Maybe everyone sees the film from a different perspective! Is the story we see about love?
The little girl's love for the killer is like puppy love as a girl. She may not understand love yet, but she is already thinking about it for the rest of her life.
As for the killer, he is cold and lonely. From the initial guard against the girl who suddenly broke into his world, he later became grateful. It was this girl who made him see a different life; for this warmth, he
I am willing to give my life in return." Lin Yunbin said.
Li Yi nodded and said: "Yes, that's what it means! So, thinking about it carefully, I feel that it is not that sensitive at all!"
"Then you'd better be careful. At least there won't be any taboo scenes in the film. You still have to control the scale." Chen Wen reminded.
Li Yi nodded.
"So, I never thought about shooting this movie in China. No matter the background or the characters in the story, it is actually not suitable to be shot in China!"
"Let's talk about the character of Stan. To be honest, even if it's just a description, I think this "villain" and "evil man" is very attractive!" Chen Wen added.
"Indeed, to be honest, that perverted villain, in my design, he is very talented. If I can give him a "family" name, allow me to call him an artist, an artist who kills, and an artist who does evil.
, the artist who enslaves life.
He would speak like Beethoven and Mozart, and say "Only when you are truly faced with the threat of death, will you truly cherish life."
But of those heroic music, he only likes the rhythm at the beginning to serve as the background music for his murders;
But those who truly cherish life are the ones he really likes to kill.
He is violent, just like the almost ferocious and crazy expression brought to him by his ticking drugs, just like the intoxication and unrestrainedness when he shoots while making gestures to conduct music, just like his sentence
The hatred and anger contained in “everyone”;
He is also smart, alert to Matilda's assassination, and alert to Lyon's disguised attempt to escape, as well as the arrogance in his words and the miraculous impeccable morale that is compelling."
Everyone couldn't help laughing, Chen Wen said with a smile: "It's just a pity that this is a bad person. When a person's thoughts and concepts are bad, and he takes pleasure in enslaving the lives of those who cherish life, then
No matter how moving or beautiful the performance art is, it only adds to the tragedy of those sad people."
"That's good! A bad person has to be completely bad. He can be very charming, but he's still a bad guy! That's good!" Zhou Guo said.
