Crime suspense film "The Conspiracy of Gods and Ghosts" commentary text Movie review Afterthoughts
Today I'm going to watch a very interesting crime thriller called "The Conspiracy of Gods and Ghosts".
The story begins with Jim, a professional killer.
He is known in the industry for his great business skills.
Jim likes two things, work and old movies, and he's a big movie buff.
One day, after watching Breakfast at Tiffany's in the cinema.
After being moved to tears, he went about his work.
Soon Jim was in the hotel room, blocking the target who was trying to escape.
This time his target was a photographer.
He gave them his bank account and demanded payment.
His rule was to pay before he killed.
And if he didn't get paid within 90 minutes, he would let the target go.
When he got back to his room, he planned to watch an old movie to pass the time.
He also gave Finch the tape to tear off while they watched and talked.
Of course, Jim was always talking about movies.
But the essence of a good story is missing.
An interesting story with a soul is better than a fancy and fake gimmick.
The cinematographer said he had a good story.
It has all the elements necessary to be good.
A jailbreak, a robbery, a girl, and Jim was instantly interested.
He asked the photographer to tell him if the story was good enough.
Then the photographer told the story.
In 1977, a magician was performing on the road by a diamond exchange.
The funny show attracted many passers-by to stop and watch.
The security personnel of the exchange also gathered in the glass window curious to watch
Then there was a loud bang and the magician teleported to the balloon behind him.
The real magician had already infiltrated the Diamond Exchange through the sewers
He took control of the manager and stole the diamonds.
Then he returned to the scene just before the show ended.
When the show was over, alarm bells went off inside the bourse.
After that, the magician picked up his daughter and went to a small town.
He put the diamonds and a photo in a box and buried them next to a big tree.
Back in time, the story ends abruptly, leaving Jimmy wanting more.
Dissatisfied, he asks if that's it.
The photographer said, "Of course not, that's just the beginning.
The story continues years after the magician's diamond heist.
The photographer begins to appear in the story, where his name is Finch.
He was arrested and sent to federal prison for fraudulent forgery.
But the photographer's name is not Finch.
The magician had been in prison for many years and his hair was gray.
When he was caught, he didn't reveal the whereabouts of the diamonds.
Both of them have the idea of escaping from prison and immediately hit it off.
Finch prepares two carrier pigeons for the escape.
A camera and color film.
The magician uses them to plan the escape.
When he succeeds, the magician pays Finch a million dollars' worth of diamonds.
It didn't take long for Finch to take advantage of the prison's black market.
And the magician used the camera to record the escape.
And the magician had taped the escape with a camera.
Soon their chance came.
A few days later, the inmates were sent out to work.
The magician made a simple projector from the filmed film and the headlights of the car.
And then, in one of his best tricks, after an explosion.
The magician took the opportunity to grab a police car and take Finch to escape.
The rest of the cars were already destroyed by the magician.
The two men then abandoned the car and fled through the woods to escape the chase.
They escaped from the police by hiding in a silo.
He asked them to help him prepare two new identities.
At this point in the story, Jim is as confused as we are.
The real photographer is an unscrupulous paparazzo.
He would do anything to get a story on a public figure.
Recently, the crown prince of a mob family was in the spotlight.
As the future heir to a mob family, it's hard to get close.
If you can get a good shot of him, you'll be able to sell it for a lot of money.
The photographer followed him day and night, and he really caught a chance.
That night, the Prince and a call girl were having a good time in a private club.
The prince was sexually abusive.
He was so impulsive that he strangled the call girl to death.
And all this was captured by a photographer in the distance
The photographer wanted to take a picture of a murder instead of a fling.
However, the greedy photographer did not choose to call the police
Instead, he prepared to blackmail the prince by making three copies of the video
He kept one copy for himself
The rest were sent to the gay neighbor and the Prince
But he didn't know that his greed would get him killed.
The Prince would not let a paparazzo take him into his own hands.
He immediately sent two of his men to kill him.
After killing the photographer, the two men tried to sink the car and the man into the water.
They accidentally ignited the leaking gasoline
The photographer and his car were burnt to a crisp
Soon the police found the charred body of the photographer
Also found the body of a call girl
The coroner, Curly, determined the cause of death and identity after the autopsy.
At this time Curly received a call from Finch
Curly is the friend who helped Finch to apply for a new identity
This picks up the story above
During the phone call, Curly arranged a hiding place for the two men
And in the first time after work to find two people
Using his forensic identity to give them new identities
The magician borrowed the identity of an elderly man who died accidentally living alone
I must say that Finch contacted Curly at the right time
The dead photographer's age and size matched Finch's.
This is the reason why Finch became a photographer by mistake.
But Curly also warned Finch to be careful
Because the photographer obviously offended some people
After that, Finch used his skill of forgery
He quickly forged a full set of documents for both of them.
But the photographer had just died and Curly hadn't had a chance to get his passport number yet.
This requires Finch to personally go to the photographer's home to find it
That's when the magician's daughter Mei came to the door.
It turns out that the magician used a carrier pigeon to contact his daughter
Once a little girl has grown into a beautiful girl
Father and daughter have not seen each other for many years have a lot to say
Seeing this Finch also wisely left to go to the photographer's house to look for passports
When he arrived at the photographer's door
A gay neighbor approached with a videotape in his hand
The neighbor thought Finch was the photographer.
The neighbor thought that Finch was the photographer and that he was interested in "her" and made a lot of advances towards Finch.
Finch only felt a chill
He hurriedly sent the neighbor away and entered the house
Casually put aside the video tape and began to look for the passport
However, the old lady next door saw everything just now
She also thought Finch was the photographer.
A police officer had asked the old lady to help him watch out for the photographer
So immediately reported to this police officer
The cop was already paid by the mob.
He told the gangster that the Prince thought he had killed the wrong person.
And then sent the two stupid men to solve
And Finch saw the photographer's room after being raided
Realized that this man must be in some big trouble
At that moment the expectant neighbor knocked on the door
Finch was scared.
After looking for the passport without success, he had to jump out of the window to escape
But two of the Prince's men happened to see him
They followed him all the way.
When Finch returned, he learned that the magician was going to save the diamond tomorrow.
Can not help but be overjoyed
The new identity caused a lot of trouble and he wanted to leave as soon as possible.
But Xiao Mei will go with them makes him very upset
Think this kind of big event should not let women involved
As a result, he was ridiculed by Xiao Mei
Then Mei took them to her porcelain store
Finch thought Mei was prying open the door to show off her abilities
And was Xiao Mei mercilessly mocked how long you have not used the key
At this point, the two stupid henchmen also followed
A burst of shooting at the store's figures
The alarm in the store went off before they rushed away
Finch and Mei hid behind a cabinet to avoid a disaster
The magician was not so lucky. He was shot and fell to the ground, dying.
He asked Finch to take care of his daughter.
And after performing one last feather magic trick for his daughter
he left this world.
The scene returns to reality and Jim is stunned by the magician's sudden demise.
But life is never more absurd than in the movies.
The news that Finch was still alive reached the ears of the mob.
The prince is furious and hires Jim, a professional killer, to do the job.
On the other hand, Finch is unaware of his situation.
He kept thinking about the diamond.
But as soon as the magician died, the trail of the diamonds was broken.
He contacted Mei and got no response.
Finch saw the pigeon on the windowsill and suddenly thought of something.
Sure enough, he found Mei.
He found the map left by the magician in the birdcage's compartment.
So he proposed to find the diamond and Mei 50-50 split
But Mei refuses to do so.
Finch thinks Mei is greedy and wants to take the diamonds.
As a result, this comment angered Mei
Because she doesn't care about the diamonds, she just wants the one thing in the box.
Finch knew he had spoken harshly and begged for forgiveness in a low voice
But Xiao Mei did not pay attention to the diamond he began a variety of stalking
He even sleeps outside Xiao Mei's window at night
A few days together Xiao Mei found Finch except for conservative ideas
The mouth is not a little bit ungrateful person
In his heart, he already forgave Finch, but a little teasing was inevitable.
During this time, Xiao Mei repeatedly looked at the map
Finally remembered where the diamonds were hidden
Finch followed him all the way and Mei didn't stop him.
But when they arrived at the destination, they were both dumbfounded.
The wasteland had been turned into a prison, and the trees had been cut down.
The diamonds were buried right inside the prison walls.
The two of them could only leave with a sense of loss.
On the way, Finch comes up to Mei to comfort her.
The two of them opened their hearts and talked a lot.
Both of them have a deep understanding of each other
Unknowingly, they had developed different feelings for each other
After sending Xiaomei home, the two of them pretended to say goodbye in a relaxed manner
But when the door closed, the two of them came to the door again by chance
Obviously mutual reluctance, but neither had the courage to open the door that blocked the love of the room
At this point in the story, Jim was touched to the core.
He was anxious to know if Finch could escape from the chase
Can he get the diamond back?
Can Finch and Xiao Mei get together?
To this end, he also untied Finch's restraints
So that the story can be told with more emotion.
Back to the story, Finch began to look into why the photographer was being hunted.
He thought the key should be the tape.
So Finch went back to the photographer's house overnight to look for it.
And Jim finds it here, too.
The "female neighbor" identifies Jim as the photographer.
This is also the first time the two met
When Finch realized that something was wrong, he jumped out of the window and fled.
He fled into the subway station, and Jim chased after him without panic.
Finally Finch stepped on the subway to get away from Jim's pursuit.
After watching the tape Finch knew his situation better
But it also made him think of a way to get the diamonds back
He first found Mei and told her his plan
He told Mei to hide the tape.
He brought the pigeon to the police station to seek refuge
He claimed that he had the video of the gangster's murder
Now his life is in danger
Then when the police took him to identify the body of the call girl
Mei shot from a distance to make Finch's words more credible
Sure enough, the police believed that Finch was being hunted.
They offered to take him to a safe house for protection.
But Finch thinks the prison is safer than the safe house.
The prison, of course, was the one where the diamonds were hidden.
This way, he could not only escape from the killers but also find the diamonds and have the best of both worlds.
After a discussion between the two parties, Finch was sent to the prison as he wished.
He made two requests. One was to stay with his pigeon at all times.
The second is that he be allowed to garden in prison.
Finch's inexplicable behavior makes the police suspicious.
But they couldn't find anything wrong with him.
Soon Finch did dig up diamonds around a large tree.
Then using a carrier pigeon, Finch transported the diamonds one by one to Mei.
Together with the transport of the two men's affair
The two people's feelings also gradually warmed up
After a while, all the diamonds were taken away
Mei also came to visit Finch in prison.
She told Finch where the video was hidden.
The diamonds are hidden behind a TV in a hotel.
When Finch finds out that Mei is leaving town and heading to Canada tonight.
He looks a little sad, but he still doesn't have the courage to express his love.
When we parted, Finch took out the contents of the box, except for the diamonds.
It was a family photo of Mei's family.
When she saw the photo, Mei cried tears of joy and was very moved.
Without Finch, she might never have gotten the picture back.
After Finch got the diamonds back, he had to get out of jail.
The police arranged for him to be sent to a hotel to hide out.
Naturally, the news was learned by the mole and informed Jim
Meanwhile, the mob had two of its dumbest men
They were watching from a restaurant across the street from the hotel.
At the hotel, Finch had left fingerprints from his previous incarceration.
The police took them for comparison and now the results are in.
Finch's true identity was blown.
Finch had to tell the truth about the whole thing.
Of course, he wouldn't say anything about the diamonds.
To prove it, he told them where the tape was hidden.
The sheriff sent someone to verify the results.
The tapes proved that Finch was telling the truth.
But the sheriff wasn't going to let him off the hook.
That's when Finch's words hit the nail on the head.
Although he had been breaking the law.
But he had never really hurt anyone.
If his identity as a photographer was disproven.
Then the other side's lawyers would naturally challenge the tape as a fake.
And then the tape would not be used as evidence
The murderer of three people (Finch, the call girl, and the magician).
Gangster Prince, a cancer in society, will only go unpunished.
The sheriff made his choice. He left Finch's passport behind.
He left Finch's passport behind and let Finch escape on his own on the pretext of going downstairs to buy coffee.
Then he took his men to arrest the Prince.
Finch quickly left the hotel after the sheriff left.
Jim, who was watching from afar, immediately followed him.
As for the two foolish men, they knew nothing.
Finch went straight to the room where Mei had hidden the diamonds.
He got all the diamonds that Mei had left for him.
All Mei cared about was the photo
At this point, Finch also realized that he had made a big mistake
He had fallen in love with Mei but let her go
Trying to undo this mistake, but Jim was blocked at the door with a gun
This is the beginning of the movie scene
Then Jim asked the Prince for ransom
But just after the phone call, the Prince is arrested by the sheriff for murder
Jim is very angry about this ending
After venting his frustration, he came up with a perfect ending
He should have taken out the mob's pursuers.
Finch got Mei back, and they were married.
At this time because Jim has not killed Finch
The gangster directly sent the two Meng Meng's men to come to the door
This is exactly what Gum wanted in order to make the hero more heroic
He handed the gun to Finch and asked him to shoot the gangster's men
But Finch couldn't do it.
Jim had to take care of the other side himself
After that Jim let Finch grab a handful of diamonds
To recover Xiao Mei and live happily ever after
However, there were still gangsters outside the hotel.
They followed him to the station.
But Jim wouldn't let anyone spoil the perfect ending.
He killed the two men
And Finch, who had arrived at the station, was still too late.
The train was moving away, and just as Finch was getting desperate.
But Mei appeared on the platform
At the last moment Mei decided to get off the train and stay
Jim watched from the corner of the two kissing each other
He left in silence with his name hidden
Satisfied with the ending, he could not help but
imitated the classic scene of "Singing in the Rain
This is the end of the story
This movie is embedded with many classic movie lines scenes
If you are interested, you can look for them one by one, which is not bad fun
(End)
