Sheep without a shepherd: it's not too late to mend.

Last week, I went to see the movie Sheep Without a Shepherd. I haven't seen the Indian film "The Story of manslaughter" before, but I am interested in suspense, although there are many remakes of movies and TV.

But without reading the original, I was still very satisfied after reading it.

The score is not much different from the original.

The film mainly tells the story that Li Weijie's daughter Pingping was raped by Sucha, the son of police chief Lahua, and killed Sucha by mistake. Li Weijie protected his wife and daughter and hid all the evidence.

In this story, several key points are: manslaughter, concealment, redemption and emotional screaming.

Manslaughter or murder, the result is the same.

The Li Weijie family are low-level Chinese who immigrated to Thailand in their early years. As a middle-aged man with only a primary school education, he can only make a living by opening a small shop maintained by the Internet.

Even so, a family of four can only live in a house next to the cemetery, saving every penny every day.

This seemingly down-and-out, timid and incompetent man, his greatest hobbies in life are watching movies and watching Muay Thai matches.

"As long as you have seen more than a thousand movies, you will find that there is nothing strange in this world."

Li Weijie is immersed in the virtual world of movies, guarding the store and raising his daughter. His life is tense but stable, which makes him very satisfied.

Like many adolescent girls, the eldest daughter, Pingping, is not good at communicating with her parents, has her own troubles, likes to keep up with others, and is naive.

Doesn't she know that the family's economic conditions are not good? Of course I know, but in the face of well-off classmates, she feels inferior, with inferiority, complains and despises this incompetent father.

However, when Pingping was bullied or even threatened by Su Cha, she instinctively turned to her mother for help.

In the warehouse, before Pingping picked up a hoe to beat Su Cha, did she want to beat Su Cha's cell phone or beat Su Cha herself?

What Pingping told his father was that he just wanted to get rid of Su Cha's mobile phone.

Only Pingping knows his inner thoughts at that moment, only through the expression of focal plane. Pingping should be trying to hit Suha at that moment, leaving him powerless to fight back.

When Li Weijie got home and learned what had happened, he repeatedly confirmed to his wife, "There is no blood in the warehouse?"

At the time of the incident, Li Weijie was watching Muay Thai and deliberately explained to the audience next to him what tongue swallowing was.

This scene is very cleverly switched, with a fierce life-and-death struggle on one side and a fierce boxing match on the other.

The lens is inserted between them to create tension.

At the back of the film, when people found Sucha's body, there was blood on the coffin and the body, and Sucha's eyes were open. Obviously, Sucha didn't die when she hit her head. He was suffocated in a coffin after he passed out.

Ann kept scratching on the glass with a fork while eating. The sound was similar to that of Su Cha struggling in the coffin in the middle of the night, but Li Weijie stopped Ann.

It can be seen that even the four-year-old daughter An An can hear the sound in the coffin. Will Li Weijie, the first person to inspect the burial site, not know?

A case from manslaughter to homicide, like many murders, needs to destroy all the evidence to get rid of the crime.

If you hide it, you must be thorough.

Li Weijie probably never dreamed that after watching so many suspense movies, he would eventually use the means in the movies to hide the truth after killing someone.

In order to make him not in the local area when the case happened, he used the technique in the film montage to create the time difference by fabricating facts and strengthening his memory.

He trained his wife and daughter to answer a series of questions from the police. He put every link together and made up for it. Even all the irrelevant people were deliberately used by him.

When everything went according to Li Weijie's expectation, although Lahou, who lost his son, decided that Li Weijie was the murderer, he was helpless.

They dug up the coffin that buried Suha, and only saw a killed sheep.

This scapegoat completely broke the relationship between the police and the people and made it impossible for the police to convict their family.

"Why didn't you tell me?"

?

"I have no ability, all I can do is stand in front of you."

Therefore, Li Weijie even thought that among the four people, there will always be one person who can't stand the physical or psychological pressure and tell the truth, while Ann saw her mother burying things in the coffin that night, but only saw the white bandage on Sue's hand in the dark.

In full view, regardless of everyone's opposition, only white scapegoats can be seen after digging the grave.

Redemption is just to make yourself clear.

Li Weijie believes in Buddhism. At the beginning of the film, it is very easy for him to go to the temple for alms for the first time, and two skipping sheep pass behind him.

After destroying all the evidence about Sucha, he went to the temple to give alms for the second time, but the mage refused.

"If there is something wrong with your heart, the Buddha will not accept your prayer." .

In Thailand, where Buddhist temples are so prosperous, worshipping Buddha can make people feel peaceful, but Li Weijie's heart is full of guilt, and he is guilty. Even if he worships devoutly, he can't eliminate his sins.

Like a sheep behind him.

After the riots, Li Weijie's family came back safely. My youngest daughter Ann got 100% because he promised to buy her a harmonica next time she got 100%.

It's just that the score on that test paper has been changed.

Parents are the first teachers of the children. For the sake of family safety, Li Weijie taught her four-year-old daughter Ann to lie, so Ann learned to benefit from lies.

After Li Weijie turned himself in, facing the camera, he only apologized to the ordinary people he used, and paid the usual price for what he did.

Some people say that this is the failure of the film, while others say that this is the sublimation of the theme.

In a practical sense, this ending is for trial, but in the film, the last shot is "What kind of person is Li Weijie?"

Uncle Song's meaningful expression is always intriguing.

Li Weijie is not an absolute good man from the perspective of killing people, and all men are born equal. After Li Weijie said "I'm incompetent", she hid her face and wept, which shows that she is not a very good husband.

However, in the role of father, Li Weijie is willing to give everything, so the final surrender is only a natural choice of a father.

The most emotional thing is the love of parents.

The whole incident was caused by Pingping's doubts about attending the summer camp. Although his father, Li Weijie, thought it was expensive, he didn't agree to his daughter's request at that time, but he still gave her a registration fee in the evening and signed the consent form.

Like most ordinary fathers in reality, he is not good at expressing love and only uses actions.

My daughter Pingping, like most adolescent girls, doesn't understand her parents.

In the event of an emergency, Li Weijie resolutely shouldered everything for his wife and daughter; Helpless and helpless, I asked my mother for help.

Relatives are always the greatest motivation and backing.

The police chief, La Ai, dotes on her son, Su Cha. There is no principle or bottom line. This is a mother's doting on her son.

Spoiled Su Cha, because she got too much love, became an unscrupulous teenager.

"Some children are children, and some children are animals."

The way to love children is wrong, but she also loves children, so in the face of her son's unknown life and death, she is almost crazy and tries her best.

When Cora saw the unsightly video on her mobile phone, the powerful director burst into tears, because she knew that her son could not be alive, and even when she was heartbroken, she dreamed that her son was still around.

In her imagination, Su Cha in a clean school uniform looks like an excellent high school student.

It's both the mother's fault and the child's fault that a mother who doesn't know her son at all dotes on her children.

Finally, Li Weijie turned himself in and had a heart-to-heart talk with his daughter Pingping, and Pingping really grew up in this painful event.

When the Lahu couple lost everything and asked Li Weijie about her life and death, Li Weijie said, "When my daughter was hurt for the first time, I didn't protect her. I don't want my family to get hurt for the second time. "

It is never too late to mend.

There is a lyric in the movie theme song "Dead Sheep": Who shoots in a dark corner, who accuses the truth with lies.

The sheep appeared seven times in the film, and each time was of great significance. As mentioned several times before, what Li Weijie did in the whole film after the murder was OK, but it was "better late than never".

The damage caused by manslaughter will be destroyed, and one person will bear all the crimes; Seeing her daughter lying, she chose to turn herself in and completed her role as a father.

Ordinary people living at the bottom are also sheep.

"It is enough for sheep to have grass to eat, so I don't care if it will be bonus hunter."

In front of powerful people, they are like lambs to be slaughtered. Otherwise, Sucha won't only care about his son blinding others and getting hurt in the back.

Otherwise, after his son's accident, Sucha's father will not only care about whether it will affect his election.

The authorities will not care about a lamb, although the lamb's wish is as long as it can eat grass.

So when the "lambs" were completely enraged and finally couldn't stand the oppression, there was a riot. All that was needed was a fuse, and Li Weijie became a straw to crush the lamb.

It is not too late to mend, and it is also a warning to those in power.

Pigeons can't get around the top of the tower, and bad children will eventually get what they deserve. People with great power will always lose everything.

More than one person was killed by mistake.

So what kind of person is Li Weijie?

The whole movie can be said to be a collection of various movie plots. When viewing Li Weijie's movie records, all the movies on the movie list can be found in this movie.

Li Weijie used this technique when dealing with cars and carts in Invisible Guests. The mobile phone positioning route adopts "network lost"; I use "Night Walk" and "Suspect X Appears" to express my love. The beginning of the film echoes the egg part, paying tribute to The Shawshank Redemption and Buried alive respectively.

The producer of this film is Chen Sicheng. As a rare suspense in the circle, I hope I can stick to suspense reasoning, and I hope that the domestic remake can continue to work hard.
