What is the story of the movie "The Secret Visitor"?

"Secret Visitor" tells the story of four people who join forces to deceive a "visitor" who has temporary amnesia, and end up losing all.

Plot summary:

School bus driver Yu Kunqiao caused a major school bus accident due to negligence of duty. Kunqiao desperately rescued Wang Chuqi, who seemed to be closely related to the truth behind the car accident. No other students survived. After learning about this incident, Wang's father, who was from a prominent family, had to hide Keng Qiao in the basement of his home for three years in order to hide this secret, but he always hinted at when Keng Qiao would surrender. With the arrival of visitors, this originally warm and harmonious family of four becomes increasingly weird. Her mother (played by Tiffany Hsu) is anxious all day long, her sister behaves uncharacteristically, everyone in the family has their own hidden agendas, and strange things happen frequently. Behind the scenes of this family The ulterior secret seems about to come to light.

From the beginning of the movie, you can feel the depressive atmosphere of the entire family, full of their own secrets.

Superficial character relationships: a daughter from an ex-wife, an adopted disabled son, a current wife who lost her daughter and became someone else’s mistress, and a school bus driver who was involved in a murder case that resulted in the death of a large number of students. , a successful male protagonist.

The actual relationship between the characters: a family formed by five strange people. The truth behind it is a father who lost his ex-wife and his only son, and a dark spear of revenge. The style of the entire film is very gloomy, and the stories within the stories are hidden on everyone's faces. Husband and wife, sister and brother, mother and son, mother and daughter, seem to be separated by a Milky Way, such a long distance.

The strange thing is that after reading it, I didn’t feel the ugliness of human nature. Everything that happened was a realistic manifestation of human nature. Most of the plot takes place in a house, and everyone seems to be trying to express their truest emotions with their eyes.

After watching this movie, my deepest feeling is the "control freak" pathological view of family expressed in the movie.

This "home" is full of "lies", and "lies" are used to cover up and evade the "truth". When people face a "major loss" and are powerless, they will do many incredible things and confuse right and wrong in order to "escape reality". The strong "trauma response" will make the person involved attempt to falsely "return to control" and "pretend" "The world can run according to its own will, "pretend" that all accidents have not happened, and enter into the morbid and evil state of self-deception and deceiving others.

Until "lies" can no longer hide the truth, until the truth comes to the surface and all the "fear" and "pain" of facing reality are accepted, the heart can truly get out of the darkness and be healed.

One person’s acting skills must be mentioned:

Duan Yihong’s actor-level performance, although the performances of the major leading actors are all online, including the "Detective Chinatown" series Sino and "The Hidden Corner" Zhu Chaoyang reunited in surprise, but I have to say that the little character played by Duan Yihong - the school bus driver is the most touching. The final scene falling on him is reasonable but also embarrassing. scene.

The director's maturity in film techniques is also obvious. All kinds of weird camera movements and fast cuts can keep the audience hooked, and coupled with the mysterious soundtrack, the audience will not even have the slightest urge to urinate.

This movie is still worth watching. I think it is more interesting than the cookie-cutter love stories. The characters in the story all have their own secrets, their own wounds, and they all need their own redemption.
