The price of madness is the first domestic film. There were not only shocking nude scenes that lasted for more than five minutes, but also the unique female consciousness in the film industry at that time. The film begins with male voyeurism and rape and ends with female paranoia and murder. As the title "The Price of Madness" points out, everyone has his crazy side, and all madness also has its price.
The story happened on two sisters, Qingqing and Lanlan. After the parents divorced, my sister Qingqing supported her by being an obstetrician, and the two sisters lived together.
My sister is determined, hardworking and capable; My sister is innocent and lovely, ignorant.
The sisters' lives are simple, but they are also very happy.
However, one day, an unfortunate thing happened, which broke their happy life.
One night, on my way home from school, my sister Lan was tricked into getting on the bus by an unemployed young man and raped.
No matter in which era, encountering such inhuman things will do great harm to the victims and their families, and the comments of indifferent people around them will also make the victims suffer.
Qing Qing's insult to Lan Lan is naturally intolerable, but the police failed to solve the case because of insufficient evidence.
Qing Qing, who was tortured in her heart, vowed to avenge her sister. She dragged her sister down the street all day, asking her to identify the criminal. It's like looking for a needle in a haystack, and naturally you get nothing.
At this time, the police found the car abandoned by the criminal and found a yellow magazine with the seal of a bookstore on it.
Li Changwei, the owner of this bookstore, is Qingqing's pursuer. He deeply regrets what happened to Qingqing's sister and is willing to help the two sisters find the murderer.
So Qingqing went to the bookstore and waited in front of the bookstore for the criminals to buy pornographic magazines again. Even with the camera given by Li Changwei, whenever I see someone driving in the street, I take their photos and develop them for my sister to identify.
Qing Qing, who was frantically looking for the murderer, was seen by the retiring investigator Lao Zhao and was determined to help the sisters solve the case. Mills of God grind slowly but sure. With the advancement of clues, Lao Zhao suspected that Sun Man had achieved great success.
When Sun dacheng's brother learned the seriousness of the matter, he was determined to help his brother escape.
When they drove to the bank next to the bookstore to withdraw money, Light Light recognized Sun dacheng, and Qingqing immediately rushed out to fight with him. Li Changwei was also knocked down by two brothers.
Qingqing climbed into the car regardless of his life's danger, and was just seen by Lao Zhao, who came here, so he launched a racing war in the streets of the 1980 s
The 1980s is a new wave of film development in China, which coincides with the reform and opening up. All directors are "ready to move" on sensitive topics.
The films directed by Siu Man Chow are outstanding representatives of crime films of that era.
The depiction of indifference and the implantation of a series of special elements, such as the rape of girls, Machamp's confusion, preference for boys and pornographic magazines, seemed to present a microcosm of the society at that time.
It is worth mentioning that there are nearly five minutes of nude scenes at the end of the film.
This also makes "The Price of Madness" the first domestic film to explore nudity, and the first film with deceptive plot in China.
Such an attempt, whether it is a director or an actor, requires great courage.
