Chapter 1,799 How many people can live with a clear conscience?
"Phone Booth" is a big internet movie, but it makes many people naturally separate it from other big internet movies.
In fact, as can be seen from the box office of "Phone Booth", this movie really cannot be confused with other major online movies.
On just the first day of its release, the box office of "Phone Booth" directly broke all the fastest records for major online movies, the fastest breaking one million, the fastest breaking ten million, the fastest breaking twenty million...
You know, because "Sniper Phone Booth" is Li Yi's movie, even if it is an online movie, the number of effective clicks is twice that of other major online movies.
It is definitely not comparable to theater movies, but the first-day box office of "Phone Booth" still made several major platforms laugh from ear to ear, because "Phone Booth" directly broke the record for the highest box office of a major online movie in one day.
With a box office of over 50 million, many people were stunned.
Of course, the limitations of major online movies are still very obvious. This time, several major video platforms directly promoted "Sniper Phone Booth", which can be said to have attracted the largest base of viewers as soon as it was launched. Of course, take a look at the movie
You know from the number of visitors, if one valid click is 10 yuan, then the box office of 50 million is actually only 5 million visitors.
In fact, it has not really surpassed the highest number of viewers of current major online movies.
But this data is already exaggerated.
The key is that "Phone Booth" is really not a big production. If it is shown in theaters, many people predict that the first-day box office may not exceed this figure.
However, the upper limit and ceiling of online movies are indeed relatively low.
After all, when you go to the cinema to watch a movie, you buy a ticket once and you have to spend it repeatedly as many times as you go. But for online movies, you can basically watch them for 3 days if you buy them once.
But despite this, it is enough to make people envious and jealous.
There are also more comments about this movie. After all, the number of moviegoers is so high, and the completion rate of basically paying viewers is very high.
Regarding the male protagonist in "Sniper Phone Booth", it aroused a lot of resonance.
"The male protagonist in the movie was forced to self-destruct in front of the public. In fact, it was not the confession of a cheating man who was threatened:
I never do things for others unless I can use them.
I've been toying with my PR assistant because he idolizes me.
I speak human words when I see people, I tell lies when I see ghosts, I deceive my friends, I deceive newspapers and magazines, and they use my lies to deceive more people.
I am a big liar. I wear an expensive custom-made suit because I feel like a big idiot. I need these clothes and this watch. The watch is fake and so am I.
I despise all the things I should cherish. I value these vain external possessions and decency.
I took off my wedding ring and called the mistress at a public phone booth to book a hotel. I didn't dare to use my mobile phone because I was afraid that my wife would check it.
I feel shameless. I'm trying so hard to create this image. I'm a big jerk. I don't know who I really am. I've proven myself to be a hopeless person. I've been pretending to be great, but I'm pretending to be great.
Can't go down anymore.
I'm afraid you hate the real me.
But this is me, a human being with flesh and blood and weaknesses.
These reflections are so honest. Aren’t they talking about ourselves? How open and aboveboard can we live in this world?
Therefore, this is not a "trial" film in the traditional sense. Although every one of the deceased in "Seven Deadly Sins" is innocent, it is difficult to arouse people's sympathy. The serial killer behind the scenes has his own set of behavioral logic. You
You can say that he is a madman, but you cannot say that what he did is unreasonable.
Is the male protagonist in "Buried Alive" really innocent? Not necessarily.
No snowflake is innocent during an avalanche! On the battlefield, aren’t logisticians considered soldiers?
The kidnappers behind the scenes are also victims, so it is difficult to distinguish between good and evil!
But it can be said very clearly in "Sniper Phone Booth" that the male protagonist is a very ordinary person, and his shortcomings can be said to be everywhere in society. Cheng Hu said that he just made the same mistakes that men make, and men
What about the protagonist? He hasn’t even had time to actually complete the affair!
And what about the mastermind behind the scenes? He has no justice at all. It can be said that he is a complete pervert, who enjoys playing with people's hearts and killing innocent people indiscriminately. The final outcome of such a person can be said to be very satisfying!" - "Penguin Entertainment"
"The film only focuses on a phone booth and tells a simple story in a very short period of time, but the process always captures the audience's psychology, which can be said to be quite successful.
In a seemingly ordinary world, compassion should be reserved for oneself to speak honestly. Stu's experience seems accidental, but it is also covered with the cloak of necessity. It is just that he has returned to human nature, and what about more people?
?
And Stu's behavior seems to be interpreted countless times by reality.
From the movie, we can see that the killer's custom is to only kill the people he thinks should be killed. Did the pimps and food delivery people who were killed also do bad things? But even so, the sniper's killing
Killing still cannot escape moral judgment.
Bad guys, good guys, what is bad and what is good? Neither Stu nor the sniper can be directly labeled as good or bad, and their character creation is not a single stereotype. From another perspective, if we blur the sniper
At this time, the sniper is more like a transformed Stu's judge, and also Stu's own inner demon, that is, another Stu.
Claiming to be the savior of the world, where are the gods protecting him?
In fact, the first ending is not bad in my opinion, because the sniper's escape did not give the audience a peaceful ending, but that may be the result of Stu's inner struggle. The transformed judge committed a crime, so what about the real world?
Punishment is given, and escaping seems to be logical. In this way, the sniper coercing Huadu to tell the truth is a struggle of his own inner demons, while the sniper's love for saving the world and killing others are the desire in the economic society.
Suppressed by the boring life of inaction, I want to complete my own sublimation. As the savior of the world, perhaps what I should do is self-salvation. Everyone has two ears, one is smooth and listens to worldly affairs, and the other
It's full of tentacles, you have to take it back and put it in your heart and listen to what it has to say. Maybe the sniper in the movie can also be transformed into the God of this city. As a human being, there are three feet of gods above you, even if others don't know it,
You should also have a clear conscience.
This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! Maybe many people will be in disbelief and wonder after watching the movie, who do they think they are? Because Stu is not completely bad, because the sniper is not qualified to decide the life of the pimp.
, and the courier didn’t show any bad intentions...because we don’t want to have our lives decided without authorization.
I hope we are not such a God."
Li Yi's die-hard film critics will naturally not miss Li Yi's first major online movie.
Du Xianghai fired the first shot.
"The excitement of this movie is the result of the interaction of many aspects. First of all, it depends on the unique material. Most of the scenes are limited to a small phone booth and its surrounding area of 20 to 30 meters. If films such as "Buried Alive" are "Screws"
"Dojo inside the shell", then "Sniper Phone Booth" is at best a slightly larger snail shell, but it can set an example for similar small-space thrillers.
The second is the character setting. The single scene and character can easily give the audience a sense of repetition, but the movie makes the mysterious sniper as the villain completely invisible, fully arousing the audience's curiosity. At the same time, the roles of the two protagonists in the film
Types are constantly changing,
Stu in the phone booth is legally a victim, but on a moral level he is a negative example of a man who tells lies. The mysterious man is a bad guy and a murderer legally, but he successfully tamed Stu and made him
He has regained his conscience and is a moral benefactor.
In addition, the story is almost purely driven by dialogue. The cunning and wise mysterious man, the stubborn Stu, and the sharp-thinking police officer He Shangsheng form a three-party struggle with each other. The mysterious man forces Stu to tear off all disguises; Stu
Trying to uncover the identity of the mysterious person; He Shangsheng hopes
The truth of the case was discovered from the clues, and the three parties battled wits and courage, and dialogue became the only weapon of "battle". In this way, the wonderful tit-for-tat dialogue, coupled with the moral and legal ambiguity of the characters mentioned before, is enough to make the audience
Continue to stay excited and motivated to watch movies.
Of course, in addition to the gripping plot, the connotation of "Sniper Phone Booth" is also thought-provoking. Lin Junrong successfully played a "victim" who went from heaven to hell in an instant. Before entering the phone booth, he also tried his best to deal with various customers, wives, and lovers.
For a moment, I was so happy, but after entering the phone booth, I became a puppet played by a mysterious person. I witnessed death, my life was threatened, and all the fig leaves were torn off.
In fact, the shadow of each of us can be found in Stu. For life, work, money, and beauty, we wear hypocritical masks all the time and say all kinds of things that don't mean it. Perhaps we are already accustomed to this and are not surprised by it.
Strange. Over time, weaving lies has become a part of our lives and this society, and sincerity has become farther and farther away from us.
At the end of the film, the mysterious man finally made his appearance for three minutes, which solved the suspense in the audience's minds.
However, who is the mysterious man? Does he have an sworn enemy with Stu, or is he just a human experiment? We don't know, and even this is not important. We might as well regard him as God's
The substitute is here to cleanse the soul and cleanse sins
Evil, awakening those lost lambs. Fortunately, Stu in the film finally realized his mistakes deeply and reflected from the bottom of his heart. But what about us? Do we also have to wait until someone points a gun at our head?
When will we finally wake up?
In fact, these are not important anymore. The director himself did not use various scene changes or atmosphere rendering, but just a phone booth and two main voices to create such a coherent and ups and downs of the plot, which even made me have the urge to reflect on myself.
, that is very successful!
Although it does not seem to have a high-level theme, it actually satirizes the ugliness and imbalance of today's society. An ordinary little publicist is one of us, just like what the male protagonist in the movie keeps asking: Why me?
Why me? There is no reason, you are just an ordinary indifferent person in the city. Like each of us, we have a pretentious side and a shameful moment. I only blame you for answering the phone randomly. (Just kidding!)
In the atmosphere created by today's society, if you want to live a better life, there are some lies you must learn, and some external appearances you must show off! The film explains our humble existence and gives you a loud slap in the face. If
Really go:
To admit that you never consider others unless that person is good for you.
Go and admit that you deceived your friends, told people what they said, and told ghosts. You are a big liar.
Go admit that you wear an Italian suit to cover up that you are a big idiot. That watch is fake, just like me.
To admit that I despise everything that should be cherished and value other trivial things, the image I have worked hard to create is actually a hopeless bastard.
To admit that you can't take it anymore.
Even in front of the person I love most, in front of all the media world, even though few people care at all! How much courage does that take? When I was watching, I paused for a moment and thought! Myself. If it were me, I would completely
If I were stripped naked and exposed in front of everyone I care about most, then I would rather choose the pleasure of being shot! This process is too hard and too deep! This is the process of redemption! Know what you really care about, know what you love most
Who is that lady! Know that there is nothing behind all that glitz and allure!
Just like at the end of the movie, the male protagonist must return to this big society in the end, but I believe that in his future life, he will begin to understand what he wants and where his favorite is, even if he still needs it in order to survive.
There are some faces, but he will understand where that degree is. Maybe this is the success of redemption! Meet the true self!
After reading it, I had to wonder whether we must encounter such a life-and-death moment before we can wake up, find ourselves, wake up, and know how to cherish. But in real life, how can there be so many lovely Gods willing to do so?
A grand journey of redemption for you alone,
Therefore, the director's loud smoke bomb has the effect of killing one person and serving as a warning to others. He must be hoping to give more inspiration and hope to the world! Maybe the society has been so indifferent for a long time, and maybe the power of one person to change is humble, but not
Change must be the day when there is no warmth! So, step by step, learn to face yourself, ask your inner voice, ignore the noisy nothingness, take your time, and there will be a beautiful day! At least you are
Happy and satisfied!
This loud smoke bomb is a little gentle, but very powerful!
Regarding the ending, I personally prefer the ending where the mysterious man escapes.
Why? Because this ending allows the movie to leave more room for imagination.
Of course, if the ending ends with the mysterious man escaping, it will indeed cause obvious flaws in the movie.
For example, the act of slitting one's throat to commit suicide is full of doubts. Another example is that the police's identification of traces at the crime scene and the identification of gun smoke reactions can easily reveal that the person delivering the food was not the murderer.
Therefore, letting the murderer escape in a bold manner becomes the biggest bug and forcibly lowers the police's IQ, which is indeed undesirable.
Perhaps because of this, the director made the final arrangement to have him arrested!
But although this arrangement makes up for the shortcomings of the movie, it also makes the movie less imaginative!"
