“Homicide” won ten Academy Award nominations for its clever combination of Feng Shui and serial murder plots! ｜Movie review
At the same time, “The Tomb” combined the supernatural with Feng Shui and other themes, sublimating the horror film to the level of folklore, urban legend, and even hatred between the country and the family. It was well received and became the highest-grossing supernatural film in the history of South Korea. This is unexpectedly reminiscent of Last year’s “Homicide” in Hong Kong was also packaged in Feng Shui fortune-telling and told the story of a serial killer. This is Galaxy Image’s consistent fateful issue, coupled with Cheng Pauli’s consistent style following “Wisdom Teeth”; using an urban serial murder case to describe the inner world of a group of mentally ill patients, coupled with a rare magical style in Hong Kong The stage combines horror, suspense, action, horror, humanity and other elements. It is an above-average work in terms of plot and technology. It is no wonder that the film received ten nominations at the current Hong Kong Film Awards, including Best Film.
Cheng Baorui once once more returns to his black style
The story of “Homicide” tells the story of a murder that led to a fateful encounter between a Feng Shui master and the prince of a tea restaurant, “Shaodong”. The Feng Shui master believed that Shaodong would be doomed, but Shaodong did not want to be imprisoned once more, so he started a fight with the master. Various life-changing behaviors. At this time, the serial killer reappeared. Seeing that the master’s magic might not change his fate, Shaodong’s hidden murderous intention resurfaced. Cheng Baorui’s standards dropped a few years ago, and he also lost his true style following giving in to commercial films. It was not until “Wisdom Teeth” that he finally made people’s eyes shine. This work has a bit of the flavor of his previous work “Accident”. A few strokes at the beginning of the film connect the various characters in the story, slowly unfolding it from the cold camera to a murder case, combined with the geographical environment of Hong Kong, The scenes of narrow streets and tenement buildings were filmed in one go, laying an excellent footnote for the story.
The clever use of Hong Kong’s geographical environment to create a magical background is another wonderful collaboration between Galaxy Image and Cheng Baorui. (Official stills of “Homicide”)
The technical aspects behind the scenes are the icing on the cake
In “Wisdom Teeth”, we have seen Zheng Baorui’s consistent black aesthetics, and this work is no exception. All the people in the movie are “gods deified”, and the images also match them accordingly, whether it’s the despairing rooftop, the dead birds on the street, or several extremely compelling killing (or animal killing) scenes. , and occasionally there are large-scale action scenes. All this is cleverly combined with the main line of the movie, making a thriller movie with good audio-visual effects. Behind the scenes, it has won awards such as Best Cinematography, Best Editing, and Best Visual Effects. It is also the second time that Cheng Baorui led the team. An excellent collaboration both on stage and behind the scenes.
The lighting, editing, art, etc. behind the scenes are all outstanding, and the bizarre visual effects bring a different Hong Kong to the audience. (Official stills of “Homicide”)
The murderous layout of Feng Shui packaging is full of creativity and whimsy
Of course, Zheng Baorui’s director and You Naihai’s script also deserve a lot of credit. The story uses Feng Shui skills to package a serial killer story, and then involves the theme of mentally ill patients. It talks regarding a Feng Shui master who wants to save a man who will be imprisoned, but he himself is also in danger, and there is also a serial killer who comes out. and the police detective who was in hot pursuit. The plot is constantly supported by a large number of specious Feng Shui theories, which seems a bit exaggerated but also interesting; every time it is on the verge of going off topic, it can be justified. The constantly reversal of the relationship between the Feng Shui master and Shaodong also doubles the fun of the movie, and Yeung Lok-man’s obsessive performance also enhances the character’s persuasiveness. The first half of the monologue uses Feng Shui to package a scary story, which really shows its creativity. However, I felt that the story was superfluous. After the main plot of the serial killer was completed, there was yet another abrupt ending. Instead, the movie seemed to not know how to wrap up following talking regarding Feng Shui, so it ended hastily, wasting most of the first half of the movie. Playful arrangement.
Lin Jiadong and Yang Lewen seem to be incomparable, but sparks fly. The identity and status of the two people are constantly changing, and the drama is increasing layer by layer. (Official stills of “Homicide”)
