Manslaughter 2 and The Myth of Love are both very good-looking. The styles of the two movies are different. If you like suspense movies, you can watch Manslaughter 2, and if you like romance movies, you can watch The Myth of Love.
"Manslaughter 2" tells the story of Lin Rilang (played by Xiao Yang), his wife A Ling, and their son Xiao Chong, who have been living a poor but happy life until their son Xiao Chong had an accident and needed medical treatment. , desperate Lin Rilang decided to give it a go in order to save his son, and formulated a shocking plan.
Although the film focuses on depicting the relationship between father and son, in fact, the real reflection of father-son love is in the film showing the process of getting along between father and son through narration. Most of the time, it was Lin Rilang's confrontation with the powerful. He laid out the layers and exposed some darkness.
The story of "The Myth of Love" is not complicated. It mainly tells the "love-hate entanglement" between several middle-aged people living in Shanghai. It seems to be a middle-aged "Jack Su" plot of one man and three women, but through life-like performances and extremely pyrotechnic expressions, the film greatly weakens the sense of greasiness and suspension, and at the same time allows the audience to see more expressions from a female perspective. and perspective.
On the surface, Lao Bai, played by Xu Zheng, is a male protagonist who is "fighted by three women", but in fact, he breaks away from the greasy middle-class elite character in previous self-directed and self-acted movies. "In this film, Xu Zheng became a "background board" that set off the three female protagonists and a connector of the story.
Miss Li, played by Ma Yili, is pursued by Lao Bai, Lao Bai’s ex-wife Beibei, played by Wu Yue, and Gloria, Lao Bai’s student played by Ni Hongjie, are three ladies who should have no intersection in life. We got to know each other at the dinner table at Lao Bai's house. This dinner party, which can be called the "Shura Field", also contributed to one of the highlight scenes of the entire film.
In addition, Lao Wu told his "love myth" at the last dinner party, the famous scene of the little cobbler "talking about women" with his shoes, Xiaobai and his girlfriend Yangyang, a pair who fell in love with a middle-aged man. The control group, etc., all demonstrate the director's very detailed and excellent observation skills.
