Chapter 1726: Evil and innocent, cruel and gentle(2/2)
A killer who kills without changing his expression and has strong professional abilities is actually very lonely and empty inside.
The portrayal of the male and female protagonists is undoubtedly the highlight, but in my opinion, the most brilliant thing that Director Li Yi created in this movie is not the male and female protagonists, but the villain!
The villain Stan!
This character will definitely go down in the history of movie villains!
What is his occupation? Is he a police officer or a DEA police officer?
What is his job function? It is to arrest drug-related criminals.
But he is a complete villain.
But why is this villain so memorable?
Because this is not a stereotyped villain, it once again proves how much a well-created villain can improve a movie!
He is a crazy and complex villain. He has many characteristics that are different from other people, and even different from many villains. These characteristics make him stand out from many villains at once.
1. Smell the scent of others to identify whether they are lying.
2. Taking medicine and having weird orgasmic reaction.
3. Very punctual and like music.
4. Killing is like child’s play, you look like you are enjoying it!
5. When you get shot, you are only angry about your suit!
This kind of behavior creates a neurotic villain that makes people shudder.
Stan is both a DEA and an evil force that sells drugs and takes drugs, which is ironic.
It’s also worth mentioning the scene comparison!
Movies usually need to set up, then advance, and then explode!
The most unique scene contrast in the cinema: the calm before the storm and the hustle and bustle of the rainstorm become a strong contrast.
The first thing the movie shows is the warm interaction between Matilda and her brother, and the quiet daily life of the little girl's family, that is, tranquility.
Then a heavy rain is coming, and the way these black police henchmen appear is very interesting!
One by one, they walked through the corridor and entered the venue. It looked like a catwalk show...
Then there was a seamless connection, the storm was coming, and there was a hustle and bustle:
My mother and sister were shot to death mercilessly!
The men were frightened by their own men and fell into pieces, while the villain Stan Ru strolled around.
One is to create a tense atmosphere, which looks a bit funny.
The second is to contrast the nervousness of his subordinates with the calmness of Bad Sheriff Stan, highlighting his sophistication and ruthlessness.
The storm breaks out again:
The men were about to insert the knife into the mattress, and the child was hiding under the bed, creating a tense atmosphere.
The audience's hearts suddenly rose to their throats.
The moment the knife went down, gunshots rang out, children ran wildly, and machine guns fired...
The knife is like a trigger, causing all the firecrackers behind to explode. The design is very mysterious.
The director did not give a clear shot of the child being shot to death. The audience learned about it from the conversation of his subordinates later.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Then there is the scene of the girl crying and knocking on the door.
Leon kept hesitating while the Sheriff's men watched from behind, creating a tense atmosphere.
The audience is worried about the girl.
And Lyon is also faced with a choice.
At that time, the girl's face was shrouded in shadow.
The door opened and the light illuminated the girl's face
It is a metaphor that the girl seems to be illuminated by the light of an angel, and her helpless and dark heart is illuminated!
This is a very important scene contrast. Of course, it is also a commonly used contrast between haze and light in movies.
Then there is the presentation of information.
Inside the house, Leon's conversation with the girl gives us some information.
This method is very common, but it is indispensable because the length of the movie is limited. Don’t underestimate this kind of presentation, because there is a need to know when to show it and when to show it.
Matilda had a simple conversation with Leon at the beginning, but there was no conversation showing the background information of the two people. Why?
Because at that time, there was no need, they were just neighbors, nothing more.
But this time, it was different.
The information presented is also very critical. The little girl hates her sister and parents, loves her younger brother very much, and only cries for her dead brother. The little girl’s sister has the same father as her, and the mother who was killed is actually the stepmother, and the girl’s younger brother is the stepmother.
The characters of the girl's birth, parents and sister are not what the audience likes, so it is more in line with the audience's wishes to clarify the relationship between the girl and them.
Why is this killer not too cold?
Leon used pig gloves to make the girl happy, which shows that this killer is indeed not too cold.
Leon originally wanted to kill the little girl who knew the secret in the middle of the night, but finally gave up!
It can be seen here that Leon does have a principle: not to kill women and children.
And the grenade tab, remember?
In fact, when Leon took Matilda on the mission, there was already a foreshadowing!
Chapter completed!
