The film won the Best Actor and Best Director Award at the18th Shanghai Film Festival? Won the Best Actor Award in the 3rd1China Golden Rooster Award? . The 33rd Hundred Flowers Award for Best Picture .......

One movie, three best actors.

It is no exaggeration to describe this film as excellent.

Director Cao Baoping is a leading figure in black crime movies. He has a strong scriptwriting ability, and he has a strong sense of control over the plot, rhythm and emotion of the film, so you will be easily brought into it in the process of watching the movie, because every character, every clue and every shot are inextricably linked with the development of the whole story. I believe everyone has seen another film "Dog Thirteen" directed by him. He still has many excellent works, which he will share with you slowly in the future.

That's right, because his works have won many film winners.

He is also affectionately known by the industry as "the film maker"

In addition to its excellent prototype script and the wonderful performances of many acting schools, the burning sun heart.

Another important reason is that the director has carefully written the script. The original author Xu Yigua is a political and legal journalist, so many scenes in the story are adapted from real events, involving many sensitive topics, which need artistic treatment, but can not affect the tension of the play. The adaptation of the script was very painful, and he overturned many scripts. But fortunately, the final version looks excellent.

In the film, especially the wonderful performances of Duan Long and Deng Chao gave the audience a strong sense of substitution. The original author also said that although the adapted film is very different from the original, the wonderful performances of the actors will gradually fade away. ......

As a crime suspense film, the overall narrative structure has many similarities with the normal suspense drama, but the director Cao Baoping's control of the film's rhythm is particularly subtle. As soon as he entered the film, he directly exposed those shocking things to you, giving the audience a strong sense of oppression, but he just lifted the audience's heart and returned to the normal presentation picture the next second. This sudden change in rhythm makes the substitution in the film stronger. And this rhythm change has appeared many times in the film. The development of the plot is also full of twists and turns, and the emergence of various reversals will make you realize that you really can't guess the real truth until the last moment.

Let's go straight to the movies.

Discuss from the film itself;

First of all, the story background, seven years ago, an appalling massacre took place in Xilong, Fujian. A family of five died in the villa on the same day, which caused great social shock. Only one fingerprint was left at the scene, and there were no other clues. Even after seven years, the police have not made any substantial progress.

The film began to cut directly in black and white tones, which was different from the relatively peaceful titles of previous police films. I will show you these dignified things directly as soon as I come up; Naked girls, fallen bodies, three panicked young people fleeing in the Woods, confusing quarrels, and the huge splash caused by what they threw into the water under the bridge ... these are all fragmented memories seven years ago.

The first three people are the biggest suspects in this case? Xin Xiaofeng, Yang Zidao, Chen Bijue. Now; Surprisingly, Xin Xiaofeng became a police assistant, Yang Zidao became a taxi driver, and Chen Bijue, who accidentally became a fool, lived in a fishing ground of a relative's house with the girl's tail between his legs. The timeline is back to reality, and everything seems calm.

However, Xin Xiaofeng's face is always full of frustration, and he habitually crushes cigarette butts directly with his left hand. Yang Zidao was robbed of driving a taxi and was afraid to report it to the police. It's like hiding something.

At this time, Yi appeared, and his appearance broke the existing calm. There are too many coincidences in him. The old criminal police who just transferred here happens to be the sheriff of Xin Xiaofeng. He is also in charge of this case. That night, Yang Zidao was robbed of driving a taxi, and he happened to meet Yang Zidao at the scene. ?

Yi's sister met Yang Zidao by chance and fell in love with the taxi driver. Everything is so coincidental. As Yang Zidao himself said, in the dark, this Yi Gu Chun seems to have been sent by heaven to kill him.

Xin Xiaofeng and Yang Zidao realized that things were getting out of hand, and they began to consider giving the tail of the girl they raised together to others. The tail is the girl they took away seven years ago. Because of heart disease, they can no longer afford expensive medical expenses.

As Yi's working partner, Xin Xiaofeng also noticed Yi's suspicion. How can this old criminal policeman who can tell the difference at a glance and decisively draw a gun to subdue gangsters not feel suspicious? They happen to be three people, raising a girl together, and all the doubts seem to point to them.

After work, I waited for Xiaofeng downstairs and personally drove him to the fishing ground to get the little goldfish. Obviously, the Iraqi police officer really likes Xiaofeng, and Xiaofeng is also a police officer with a sense of justice. He is brave and fearless, and it is difficult to associate him with the sinners in his works.

"In fact, for so many years, I didn't look forward to tomorrow every day."

When Xiaofeng and Yi talked about this case, he was very scared. He always felt that day was coming, and even a little eager for it to come soon. That kind of panic that can't be concealed is easy to see. Yi shared his views on the case with Xiaofeng. Among them, he said that someone saw three people near the reservoir. A person seems to have a tattoo. Someone else found an astronomy magazine at the scene. Some people even think that the three of them are gay! ? But Yi thought it was a joke.

Aside Xiaofeng silently wrote down what he said. .......

As the case progressed, more and more clues began to point to them.

Xin Xiaofeng thought that this day might come soon. In order to get rid of the crime, he linked it with a gay drama he saved in Taiwan Province Province. This is the last thing he can do. He thinks that maybe only the three of them are gay can get rid of the crime. According to his understanding of Yi, he took Yi step by step to see the scene as shown above, and the picture was once out of control.

Iraq was lost in thought for a while. Some indescribable emotions poured out.

Yi's sister wants to help Yang Zidao prove that she is gay.

But in the end, there is a flaw, (note) ......

"I won't tell you it won't happen again, because only people can understand such a complicated thing as human nature."

In the last stunt shooting of chasing tall buildings, Xiaofeng's inner struggle is also reflected here. Facing Iraq, which is about to fall from a tall building, there are too many emotions involved.

As for the landlord who likes to eavesdrop on the conversation of the tenant who rents his room, in fact, I didn't understand why such an episode was arranged, but that's the truth. The conversation between Xin Xiaofeng and Yang Zidao was eavesdropped, and Iraqi police officers also heard these recordings during the investigation.

The case finally came to light,

Combined punishment for several crimes, Xin Xiaofeng and Yang Zidao were finally sentenced to death by injection.

This super brother's acting skills are quite cracked. In the face of death, all kinds of complex emotions, fears, release, depression, pain and suffering in his heart are constantly pouring out, which are manifested in the loose pupils and in every part of the progressive facial muscles, and finally fall silent with the arrival of death. Let the audience feel deeply shocked when watching the movie. It is said that this wonderful performance is used as learning materials by many teachers majoring in performance. )

Chen Bijue's stupidity is fake,

"It seems that the IQ of 163 and 80 are really similar sometimes."

I tried to escape the punishment of the law by playing dumb, but he finally committed suicide by jumping into the sea, perhaps because he couldn't stand the inner suffering. Of course, there is another reason that I believe everyone knows.

Everything seems to be over.

However, the ending of the film has changed.

The emergence of the "fourth person"

Case fact analysis

The gangster (the fourth person) asked Ah Dao to collect debts together, but I didn't expect Ah Dao to come with Xiaofeng and Chen Bijue. When she arrived at the villa, Xin saw the naked girl (who had just taken a shower) and covered her mouth for fear of calling her. The girl died of a heart attack.

Others think that Xiaofeng J killed the girl. In a panic, the fourth person brutally killed the whole family.

So the three brothers didn't kill directly. Xiaofeng doesn't have a strong J girl. People in Taiwan Province Province said Xiaofeng was with him for the first time. Moreover, the police have no direct evidence to prove that Xiao is J girl, and police officer Yi also said that there was little evidence in this case, so they had differences. But Xiaofeng and his party did kill the girl indirectly.

Finally, the fourth man confessed that he killed everyone in the villa (except the girl who died of a heart attack), and four people escaped from the villa. The fourth man threatened the three brothers to mix with him in the future, and the three brothers pushed the fourth man into the reservoir. All three brothers thought that the fourth man was dead. So when the police asked the fourth man why he didn't settle accounts with the three brothers, if the fourth man's case was investigated, he would die without telling the witness. This is the opening shot of them throwing them into the reservoir. The fourth person was left behind.

At the beginning of the film, Xiaofeng said that he would go back, because there was a baby in the villa, and this baby was the later tail. The film later confirmed that Tail was the daughter of a girl who died of a heart attack in the villa, and the heart disease was hereditary. At the beginning of the film, A Dao drives a taxi, and the police and Chen Juemin play the fool. The three brothers spent seven years in remorse and panic. The only spiritual sustenance together is to raise tails together, but the appearance of Iraqi police made them realize that things can't just pass.

At the end of the film, Xin and A Dao insist that their statements are consistent. They killed the people in the villa and let the truth rot in their stomachs to protect their tails and Chen Bijue. In the end, they were executed and shot to make up for their inner regrets for so many years. The police officer learned the truth of the case from the statement of the fourth person who was caught later.

It's like a monologue from officer Yi's heart. Over the years, the killer of the tail has been raising her by her side. Maybe it's only when they die that it's all over.

Interpretation of several problems;

Xin Xiaofeng is not gay. All three of them are gay. This is just a plan that Xiaofeng wants to cover up and escape the crime.

Does Gu Chun like Xin Xiaofeng?

I believe some viewers have discovered this. The relationship between them is really indescribable, but I think it should be based on the love of working relationship. Xiaofeng's performance in his works is too excellent, but it doesn't make sense. Why should an experienced criminal police officer take care of police officer Xiaofeng? Different audiences may have different understandings.

Xin Xiaofeng is not the girl with strong J, and there is no definite evidence to prove that Xiaofeng is strong J in the case. This is also the reason why the case has encountered bottlenecks and has not progressed. People in Taiwan Province Province behind also said that Xiaofeng was indeed the first time. But in any case, Xiaofeng and his party are guilty and they must be punished by law.

"Law is a combination of divinity and animality. It's very cute. It knows that you are good and limits you to infinite evil. No one is so dirty psychologically. "

This should be the most symbolic sentence in the film. Amazingly, the film "Burning Heart in the Sun" directed by the director itself shows a tragic theme. The three fugitives have nowhere to escape, and their hearts are burning like the scorching sun. All this is shown in a special way. The so-called hunted strong J criminals stand on the moral high ground and constantly redeem themselves. They tried their best to raise their tails and regard her as life. However, it is the law that conflicts with morality. Duan Long plays an Iraqi policeman. He hates evil and chases gangsters. ........

This is also a very excellent place in the film-the shaping of emotions between characters, which constantly promotes the development of the plot through subtle changes in emotions between characters. Know, believe, doubt and be wary of ..........., especially between Xin Xiaofeng and police officer Yi, who love each other and kill each other. Yi plays an important role in the whole movie. He connects all the characters in series and is the core of the story axis of this film (he is the role introduced and recreated by the director).

Every actor's interpretation in the film, whether it's Deng Chao's inner repression or Duan Long's extremely fierce, is very brilliant. In the opposition between darkness and light, there are complicated human nature and countless possibilities.

The characters show not only pure conflict and opposition, but also reconciliation and warmth. This setting has a very solid foothold and makes the plot more reasonable and natural. Xin Xiaofeng and others just want to complete their inner self-salvation, and the Iraqi police pierce the darkness with sharp eyes. Such a collision made the audience feel and worry.

The shortcomings of the film appear in several turning points, and why the landlord prefers to eavesdrop on the tenant's conversation and make documents is just discovered by Yi's investigation. The roof chase ended in a thrilling scene, and the truth came out. Xiaofeng's trivial preaching when he was finally caught, including the fourth person who suddenly appeared behind him, seemed a little messy and abrupt. It should be the reason why the film combines the main theme of reality.

However, under the high-intensity screening system, such excellent production can still be made. Compared with the crime suspense works in recent years, "Burning Heart in the Hot Sun" can indeed be regarded as one of the best crime suspense films.
