I rested at home two days ago and flipped through Korean movies. I was attracted by a movie that scored more than 8 points-blind witness. I like Jin Hena very much, and the starring role of this movie happens to be Jin Hena, which is one of the reasons why I watch this movie. At the same time of clicking on the show, "I am a witness" was listed in the relevant recommendations of the film. My intuition tells me that these two films must be related by blood. Sure enough, when I look at the movie materials, the same script, the same director and the same production team ... the biggest difference is the actors.
On the one hand, I am curious about the differences between different actors in shaping a nearly identical film; On the other hand, I really want to see how good Yang Mi's acting skills are in this movie. So after watching the Korean movie Blind Witness, I went on to watch the China movie I am a Witness.
After watching two movies, my heart OS is at a loss. "What the hell is this ..." And the only thing that makes me happy in these two movies is that in the Korean version of the movie, the actress Jin Hena's acting skills have improved. As for Yang Mi's acting skills, I really dare not praise Jin Hena for her good acting skills. I can only say that compared with her previous roles, Yang Mi does have some acting skills in this film.
Let's take a look at the general plot of this movie first:
At the beginning of the film, a beautiful policewoman went to a bar to arrest a "delinquent teenager". The policewoman's name is Beauty and Elegance (Jin Hena)/Lu Xiaoxing (Yang Mi). The arrested rebellious teenager is his own biological brother. Because there was a conflict between two people in the car, the car lost control and crashed into the guardrail. This car accident claimed my brother's life, and also put a heavy burden on the beautiful and elegant trainee policeman (Jin Hena)/Lu Xiaoxing (Yang Mi).
In the plot setting of almost all film and television dramas, the hearing ability of the blind is extremely sensitive, which is a Jianghu rule ~ In this film, the blind policewoman also has extraordinary hearing ability and detail perception ability.
On a stormy night, the film ushered in the central villain. While the blind woman was waiting for a taxi by the roadside, a car stopped in front of her. The driver greeted her to get on the bus and handed her coffee enthusiastically, but the enthusiasm was too much and people were suspicious. In the process of pushing coffee, the car seems to hit something. The heroine asked the driver if he had hit someone. The driver claimed to have hit a dog and was anxious to put the woman in the car. The woman tried her best to resist and escape with her police skills and then reported the case to the police. However, in the police station, only the ugly police officer Zhao/Lu believed her judgment and investigated the perpetrators with her.
On the other hand, another protagonist in the middle, Junior Ji Xie (Cheng Xian)/Lin Chong (Lu Han), claims to have witnessed the car accident, but his story is different from that of the heroine. The hostess questioned him for perjury for the bonus, so his testimony was not believed by the police.
But the two witnesses have already become the targets of the murderer's intention to kill, and the plot unfolds in the process of the murderer's pursuit of the two witnesses. After a series of horrible games, in the end, evil triumphed over evil, blind girls and young witnesses defeated perverts, and the film ended with the warm smile of the woman in police uniform.
Although I was defeated in the end, I have to say that the pervert killer in the film can be said to be the biggest attraction of this film.
In the original Korean version of Blind Witness, the killer was an abortion expert in obstetrics and gynecology. He is mentally distorted. He locked a strange woman in a secret room at home and killed her after sexual assault, because there was almost no background introduction to this abnormal doctor in Korean movies, which also added a lot to the horror index of the movie. When the satyr appeared naked in the secret room, I believe many viewers were shocked several times.
This unknown and mysterious sense of terror is weakened in China's version of I am a Witness. When filming the China version, the director enriched the emotional background and motivation of the perverted murderer. In I am a Witness, Zhu plays a pervert who is a plastic surgeon. Because disciplining her playful sister led to her death, and her sister liked to play a social software called "dating only" before her death, the plastic surgeon sold his plastic surgery hospital, dated women with the "dating only" software every day, and imprisoned the women who came here to make her look like her sister.
The screenwriter directed by the police officer took great pains in the localization adaptation of this role, but as an audience, I still think there are many such adaptations. As a movie with a slightly scary element, when the audience knows more about the villains in the play, the mystery of the characters will be greatly reduced, which will naturally weaken the horror of the film. On the contrary, it will present some unexpected funny elements-although everyone is seriously creating a horrible atmosphere, when I see Zhu face to face with his mobile phone and say, "How can there be such disgusting software?" I really can't help laughing. ...
Speaking of acting, this film really made me feel the importance of acting under the background of the same script, the same director, the same actor and different actors. After watching the movie, I really don't understand why someone in the circle of friends shared the comment "I think Yang Mi's acting skills are not bad ..." How low is the requirement for acting when this friend said this with his eyes open?
Without comparison, it is difficult to distinguish between high and low. People always have to see a wider sky before they realize how small their world is. In acting, we also need some comparisons to highlight which is higher and which is lower. If you have seen I am a Witness and think Yang Mi's acting skills are good, you should watch The Blind Witness and see how Jin Hena performs.
After watching these two movies, there are several points to compare-when the trainee policewoman went to catch her brother, when the heroine ran a red light with her guide dog, when the heroine went to the hospital to ask another witness not to leave the hospital, when the heroine learned that her guide dog was killed. ...
In these places, regardless of prestige, loss, panic, helplessness and sadness, Jin Hena is naturally immersed in the role, while Yang Mi can easily make people feel that she is performing and has not fully entered the role.
Even at the beginning of the film, when Yang Mi scolded her brother in the bar, we could immediately feel that she was reciting her lines, and she recited them in a very stiff tone.
Of course, no matter from the perspective of acting, role adaptation or the gap between the two versions, Blind Witness/I am a witness itself is a film with no distinction between good and bad. If it is not good, this film can really make people feel its sincerity, regardless of the screenwriter, director, actors, scenes and actions. You said nothing, plot, character relationship and so on. And it is really far-fetched.
So I'm telling you about these two movies, not to recommend you to watch them, but to remind you that people who haven't seen them should not watch them. After all, everyone worked hard to make a movie, but after watching it, you can't tell whether it's good or bad. It's really embarrassing.
