Looking at the ending alone, it barely passes the mark, but compared with the foreshadowing, it would not be an exaggeration to say that it is a bad ending.
The emotional line ends unexpectedly well. Sunshine at Noon is worthy of praise. It has none of the messy stuff of romantic dramas and is not deliberately pretentious. It is really a little surprise.
In terms of plot, this ending is not as good as the original work. If the ending of the original work can be rated as 70 or 80, the ending of the play will be 60 or 65 at most.
Relying on the last moment to persuade the driver to give up the crime, it gave me an educational ending like a Spring Festival Gala sketch. It was too blunt, unreasonable, and too didactic in nature that I found it annoying. The savvy police officers who handled the case in the early stage and the male and female protagonists who tried every means seemed to have collectively lost their wits at the last moment, and their bravery was highlighted.
But if the film is completely based on the original work, and the police find out the truth after Guo Auntie and the driver are arrested, and the pervert is not caught in the end, then even if this is a web drama, it will definitely pass. No trial.
And no matter which ending, there is no explanation of the reason for the loop. Instead, the ending of the novel gives some guesses, rounding out the plot a little, and giving an ending with more imagination and fewer loopholes.
"On the way, I often wandered and thought wildly, especially about that girl. I always hoped that she would get off the bus early..."
"When passing by the intersection, I When I saw a motorcycle running a red light, I thought about whether I should scratch it, create a little friction, pull over, and let the people on the car get off..."
"I also thought about what if there were people on the car. If something happens, such as a sudden illness or a dispute, I can pull over and ask someone to get off, but most of the passengers in the car are sleeping, so there is no possibility of a dispute..."
Suisse As the driver explained one idea after another that had appeared in his mind, the expressions on Li Shiqing and the little brother's faces became more and more solemn, and they even shivered.
"Do you think what we have experienced is just the driver's imagination?"
In fact, it might be better if the two endings can be reconciled. The first half follows the novel, relying on the help of passengers and the efforts of the police to seize the bomb. The second half can follow the model in the play. The police find counselors to contact relevant students to find out the truth, catch the pervert on the bus, and give Wang Mengmeng’s parents An explanation.
Even with such a neutral ending, it also seems a bit negative. Without these two people responsible for the bombing, no one would take the initiative to find out the truth. It would give people a sense that the police would not do anything unless something big happened. The illusion of working hard to handle the case, some major cases may not pass the trial just because of the shadow of the impact.
Under the current public opinion atmosphere and approval system, this ending may be the best result that can be achieved. It's just that some of them seem bland, and some of them fail to provide the wonderful foreshadowing that preceded them, and it's hard to arouse the audience's reflection (if it weren't for the coincidence of recent current events).
I like a happy ending, but I don’t like such a deliberate happy ending. The screenwriter has actually buried some clues in the play, such as the pervert also has a daughter, but there is still a feeling that he is inferior. This point is not as inspiring as the original work. Wang Mengmeng's tragedy was caused by Internet public opinion, but the truth about Wang Mengmeng was also found out by Internet public opinion. It is quite ironic when compared with recent current events.
