Labyrinth of Hearts
A coffin, two lives, three reversals, four families, and endless farce. If I had to say this movie in one sentence, it would be roughly described like this.
The famous scene of "Labyrinth of Hearts"
"Labyrinth of Hearts" should be the best suspense movie I have seen in China so far. Because when it comes to domestic suspense movies, I really can't think of anything else.
Even in "Labyrinth of Hearts", I can see the shadow of Nolan's work, because the narrative structure of the film is really cool. I couldn't help but think of "Fragments of Memory".
Labyrinth of Hearts has the feel of Fragments of Memory
The similarity between the two films is that, in the absence of any special effects blessing, the story that was not originally scattered was told to the effect of the ceiling.
After watching the movie, you probably already understand the main plot, but it is difficult for you to replay the details of the whole movie in your mind. Then you look at it a second time and find that every edit, every line, every prop is not inadvertent, but has been carefully planned and laid out.
Next, I string together the various foreshadowings left by the director in normal chronological order to see if the story you see is the same story.

Because he heard Old Zhao say that if there was still a problem with the body, he planned to call the police. Of course, the village chief knows that there is a problem with the body, Chen Zili may come back at any time, then the old Zhao Yi called the police, and the police carefully checked, and there is a high probability that he will find his son.

<h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > what exactly is Labyrinth of Hearts trying to express? </h1>
The narrative structure is only the "table" of "Labyrinth of Hearts", and the next half of the cat wants to talk about the "inside" of "Labyrinth of Hearts" - what is the movie really about?
The original name of the movie is not called "Labyrinth of Hearts", but "Funeral Coffin", fortunately the name has been changed, if you use the original name, I think it is basically on the street.
Formerly
Old version poster "Funeral Coffin"
And the new name of the movie, "Labyrinth of Hearts", is really just right, echoing the narrative structure of the film and the theme of the film.
There is such a role in "Labyrinth of Hearts", there are not many scenes, and the lines are only a few words, but they tell the core theme of the movie. This character is Wang Baoshan's mother-in-law.
She told her daughter, Wang Baoshan's wife, "Some things, when asked, will be pressed in their own hearts, and if they are not asked, they will be pressed in the hearts of the other party." ”
What kind of person does not hide something in his heart? But the more you hide, the more you fall into the vortex of the labyrinth of your heart.
All the characters in the movie have secrets in their hearts, and they all suppress themselves like stones, thus trapped in the labyrinth of hearts.
It's just that some people eventually walk out of the labyrinth of hearts, and some people are trapped in the labyrinth of hearts forever.
Male protagonist - Zong Yao
Accidentally killing the village gambling stick White Tiger is a secret in his heart.
He fled all night, but his conscience found that he had returned to the village, and as a result, someone had already found a reasonable reason for the death of the white tiger, and his heart of surrender had been shaken, but in the end, when he saw the coffin abandoned in the wilderness, he still surrendered with his father. It can be said that Zong Yao, walked out.
Concealing traces of manslaughter for his son was a secret in his heart.
Unexpectedly, it was self-defeating, which triggered one oolong incident after another. He is the one who knows the truth best from beginning to end, but for the sake of his son, he can only fake the real thing and bury the truth deep in his heart. But in the end, he accompanied his son to tell the truth to the police. The village chief actually came out.
Little man - Wang Baoshan
Carrying a pregnant wife on his back, he secretly had an affair with a married woman. It was a secret in his heart.
But he met a seasoned mother-in-law. Instead of letting his daughter dig out the secret in his heart, he let this secret fall into Wang Baoshan's heart and become a stone in his heart.
So Wang Baoshan, he couldn't get out.

Knowing that Chen Zili had fallen off a cliff, he did not mention it to anyone. It was a secret in his heart.
He only wanted to fake the real thing and be with Li Qin, but he did not expect that Chen Zili's crutch was left on the car. Li Qin didn't mention anything, just silently took away Chen Zili's crutch and said thank you. Da Zhuang didn't know how Li Qin viewed himself, and this secret would continue to ferment, and Da Zhuang couldn't lift his head. Let the big man can't get out of the labyrinth of his heart.

Secretly having an affair with Wang Baoshan, wanting to kill her husband, knowing that Chen Zili had been on a big car, these were all secrets in her heart. These secrets were ultimately pressed into her own heart, so Liqin was also trapped in the labyrinth.
Zong Yao's girlfriend, Huang Huan
Huang Huan
This is one of the most complex characters I think of in Labyrinth of Hearts.
In order to tie Zong Yao's heart, she made up the lie that she was pregnant. It was the first secret in her heart. It was this secret that became the fuse for Zong Yao's mistaken killing of the White Tiger. She did not dare to tell Zong Yao the truth, afraid that Zong Yao, who knew the truth, would not forgive herself.
Zong Yao had planned to take Huang Huanyuan away to fly high, but found that his father's medal could not be found, thinking that the medal was left at the scene of the crime, afraid of affecting his father, so Zong Yao decided to go back and turn himself in. But Huang Huanming found the medal, but did not return it to Zong Yao at the first time. This is her second secret.
Huang Huan's original intention was actually very simple, and she heard Wang Baoshan say that her mother could not see herself and had a heart attack. So the mood to go back is very urgent. Therefore, he concealed the matter of the medal and wanted to go back with Zong Yao to turn himself in.
Huang Huan at the hotel
Later, Zong Yao met his father at the coffin, and Huang Huan had no way to return the medal to Zong Yao, because this exposed his hidden secret. It was equivalent to her selfishness being nakedly exposed in front of Zong Yao.
Therefore, Huang Huan pressed the medal under the stone, confirming what Wang Baoshan's mother-in-law said. However, this action did not press the stone into zong yao and the village chief's heart, but forever pressed on her own heart.
The medallion is pressed under the stone
Zong Yao's father and son eventually surrendered themselves, but how should Huang Huan face Zong Yao's father and son?
How huang Huan will face Zong Yao's father and son
< h1 class="pgc-h-arrow-right" > concluding remarks</h1>
After watching Labyrinth of Hearts, I don't think the movie reflects the ugliness of human nature, as many people have commented.
In addition to the abusive wife, Chen Zili, who engaged in xiaosan outside, I basically couldn't find anything particularly ugly. See more, or human selfishness.
But it's not ugly, it's instinct. Attentive netizens also found many metaphors for chimpanzees in the movie, and selfishness is more like the deep-rooted animality of human beings.
orang
In the play, people have been trapped in the labyrinth of the heart because of selfishness, which is the trend of human instinct, and there is nothing wrong with it. It's just that some people can let go of their selfishness and come out of the labyrinth, and some people are trapped in the labyrinth all their lives.

Video interpretation: Some people can come out of "Labyrinth of Hearts", and some people can never leave
