Appraisal object: "Detective War"

Release time: July 8th

Compared with the "Detective" co -directed with Du Qifeng 15 years ago, "Detective War" directed by Wei Jiahui separated from the exquisiteness and restraint in the previous style. Instead, it is a violent picture, a rhythm, and a "anger". Burn in the big screen. However, although wearing over -fire and crazy coats, "Detective Wars" is not entirely a commercial film that is "refreshing", and it is not a movie for the purpose of venting emotions. On the contrary, the film still maintains the deepest meaning of the Galaxy image: Don't try to be a god, remember that you are individuals, and human nature should be kind.

Whether it is to break through himself or to adapt to the market, Wei Jiahui does add a lot of "spices" to "Detective War": there are many appalling and wonderful cases in the film, such as the "Demon Police Case" and "Rain Night Butcher Case" even more. There are real events to base; big scenes such as temple street chase and dock bangs create a visual wonders that are quite fragrant today; even Liu Qingyun's crazy detective Li Jun this time is much more irritable than Chen Jiabin in "Detective". ——Li Jun's lines are almost all of the rapid fragmented short sentences. The rhythm of the movie is even more fast, and multiple reversal in the 101 -minute period is not only without urine. For some audiences, it may even feel that the plot is overwhelmed.

"Detective War" is "hard! Cool! Evil! Storm!" As a propaganda, this is naturally right, but it is intentionally or unintentionally covering the complexity of human nature in the film.

The first half of the movie continues to emphasize Li Jun's "Shen style": first, through his crazy, he expelled him out of the normal person's team; the other is to enhance his ability to solve the case to "God". In Li Jun’s first debut, he was suspended due to mental problems. He suddenly broke into the police's magic police case press conference, forcing a police officer to assist him to reproduce the crime of the murderer and directly overthrow the police's judgment, but no did not have People believe in him -a lonely genius image of "everyone is drunk and I wakes up alone" appears. After becoming a homeless man, he wrote the truth of the case of densely like a god at the bottom of the bridge; in his subjective perspective, he could "see" the victim for help him -in the case of solving Omniscient God.

But does "Detective" really represent justice?

The reason why the film is "Detective War" instead of "Detective" is because there are more than one "detective": the first is naturally Li Jun, and the second is a criminal gang who claims to be "Detective". The third It is the ultimate BOSS of the camouflage as a "detective". There is a repeated Nietzsche quotation in the film: fighting monsters, be careful to become monsters. The difference between "God" and "monster": Li Jun was destroyed because of his high self -esteem and fell into a lunatic; "Detective" gang was a descendant of a group of victims of suspected cases. Those murderers who have not been ropeed to the Fa, and executed in crimes with extremely cruel means; the big BOSS had a miserable past, but he finally chose to retaliate against society.

Only Li Jun escaped the vicious circle of revenge. He was paranoid to the identity of the detective, and finally found that he was not a "god" who was not making mistakes: in the investigation, he was mislead by the big BOSS for many years and had been missing the truth; in life, he lost his wife because of ignoring his family and destroyed it. My daughter's life. At the end of the film, Li Jun could say "we are not God, but just exploring", which is the most amazing place for this character.
