"Uncle" reveals an atmosphere of loneliness and loneliness all the time. The uncle, the protagonist, doesn't need to say it, and the neighbors ignore it; the little girl Xiaomi said that she didn't steal anything as soon as she appeared, which surprised us. Later, we learned that due to the lack of parental discipline , Xiaomi wanders outside all day, sometimes doing petty theft, and because of this, he is hated by teachers, classmates, and even mother; in addition, there is one person we cannot ignore, that is the first killer of the villain in the movie, often Let's call him the uncle of the gangster (the name of Xiaomi). Due to the special identity of the gangster, psychological loneliness is relatively common. Coupled with this man's outstanding skills in the movie, there should be some heroic invincibility. of loneliness.
In the movie, the reasons for the loneliness of the first two protagonists are explained in more detail, but the explanation of the uncle of the gangster is almost blank, which can only be imagined by the audience. Due to the frequent execution of state secret tasks, the uncle was finally hunted down by the enemy due to karma. His pregnant wife died in this accident. From then on, the uncle became depressed and became the "pawnshop ghost" in Xiaomi's mouth. Compared with the uncle's tragic past, Xiaomi's experience is relatively ordinary. In fact, he has a mother who is in the world. Because of this mother, Xiaomi seems to have no idea who his father is, and he can hardly get the care of his mother. They are hated by everyone like a "trash can", and they should be avoided. Although there is no systematic introduction to the past of the gangster uncle in the film, we can also find some clues from some details of the film. First of all, as a Jianghu person, of course, it is for survival, and the direct point is money, but there is a detail in the film that when he killed the local black boss, the black boss begged for mercy and said to give him more money, but the black gang uncle didn't care. Move, it can be seen that the uncle of the gang is not for money. The reason why he is so willing to do things for his boss, we can only guess that maybe the boss rescued him, or the boss treats him like a brother, after all, how hard it is to find true love in today's world. From this, you can also see the loneliness in the uncle of the gangster.
In any case, these three people finally meet, due to various reasons, some of them are on the fringes of society, they can't get the care of others, and they are full of yearning and pursuit of human love. Therefore, Xiaomi's frequent visits and taking the initiative to speak to the uncle aroused the love that was sealed in the uncle's heart. Since he could not fulfill his father's responsibility for the child in his wife's womb, the uncle transferred this love to Xiaomi, making Xiaomi, who lacked fatherly love, imagine that the uncle was his father. So when the police asked her to find her parents because she was caught stealing something before she was arrested, she hesitated to refer to the passing uncle as her father. Because of Xiaomi's act of helping him stick the wound, the gangster uncle chose to save Xiaomi when she was going to have an eye surgery; when he met the uncle, he seemed to meet the opponent he had dreamed of for many years, and he wanted to compete with him in a fair way, without the need for There was a plot behind the scenes, so he chose not to shoot, but to fight with knives. Perhaps if it wasn't for the arrangement of fate, the two uncles could also be confidants.
"Uncle" is a story of lonely people who long for love and pursue love, but their actions are not because of loneliness, but because of love. Otherwise, the uncle will not be so great, Xiaomi will not be so cute, the gangster uncle will not shine in cold blood, and the movie will not be so touching...
