Remake of Mo sha (2022)
Chen Yutong, a girl's middle school student, was bullied at school, but her mother Li Han was unable to save her daughter from the "hell". Everyone around her turned a blind eye, and a collective silence brewed greater violence..
Just coming back from the cinema where I watched the remake of Boon-lip (Sam) Quah's "A Place Called Silence" from 2022
I couldn't help but wonder why a remake of the same movie was made just two years later by the same director!The 7:50 P. M.
The cinematography was impressive, with vibrant colors throughout, typical of many Chinese films nowadays
session only had 20 people, so I was able to choose the best seats for an optimal viewing experience. The screenplay was overly complex and lacked elegance, making it quite messy in some parts.
While well-made, there was nothing particularly new about it
However, the performances by Chuan-jun Wang, Janine Chun-Ning Chang, and Francis Ng were very good, and the editing was flawless, leaving me with an overall positive impression.This crime thriller remake had a successful $50 million theatrical debut in mainland China, likely due to the appeal of the new cast. Despite being entertaining and filled with gore and slashing, the audience began to dwindle after couple of weeks as they switched to the latest comedies released in Chinese cinemas.
