("The soil under the mountain is fat, five acres of land, five acres of fertile fields... chicken fat, geese fat, cows, cattle and sheep strong, beans and rice, rape blossoms!"
The dream of the original little man, is the "happy farm + happy ranch")


a

fox Sui Sui, Qi Liang in Peru. The heart is worried, and the son has no clothes.
There is a fox Suisui, in Biqili. The worry of the heart, the son has no belt.
There is Hu Suisui, on Biqi's side. The worries of the heart, the son is not convinced.

Hearing "The Book of Songs" in Jackie Chan's movie was as shocking as seeing Errenzhuan in Zhang Yimou's movie. I don't know how many friends understood that scene, because it was complicated like Yu Zecheng's eyes. Liang Bing (Jackie Chan) captured Prince Wei (Wang Leehom) and escorted him to an abandoned residential house, where he met a stray singer (Lin Peng). The singer took the medicinal soup, undressed, sang and danced, and sang the song "The Book of Songs • Wei Feng • You Fox". The scene is not long, it seems dispensable in the plot, but it is very interesting to look into it carefully:

●The singer puts the medicine soup, the original intention was to fascinate the Liangbing, because Liangbing wears the helmet of Prince Guards, and the singer's Her relatives all died as a result of successive years of campaigns by Prince Wei; she chose to sing "The Wind", also thinking that Liang Bing was a general of guard.
●This "There are Foxes" is a love song of women wooing men, saying that although the beloved is poor and has no clothes, he still loves him. At that time, Liang Bing was in ragged clothes. This song was a very appropriate provocation; at the same time, it was also a question: Why are you a guard wearing a beggar costume? It's a pity to play the piano to a cow, how does Liang Bing know this?
●Liang Bing did not understand, but Prince Wei did. He believed that the singer was a guardian, so when the singer brought the soup closer, he whispered to her for help. The singer originally intended to save him, but seeing him doing this, she said: "This soup was originally not intended for you to drink." So she poured him soup.
●Maybe due to the incomprehensibility of the two identities, the singer did not harm them, but just said "retribution" in the ear of Prince Wei. These two words were finally uttered by Prince Wei, reflecting the "Tai Ping" hanging on the wishing tree. And "retribution" means that Liang Bing, who was afraid of death, died in his country, and Prince Wei, who was not afraid of death, surrendered to Qin; from then on, the world was peaceful.

(The other thing is that "You Fox" is a wife who misses her husband who has never returned from service. The singer sings this song again at the Wishing Tree Mountain Cliff, which should be the meaning, in order to echo the theme of peace. Therefore, the former is coquettish, while the latter is aloof. .)


Second,

not only that, this "Jackie Chan movie" paid tribute to Salinger, who had just passed away. It surprised me more than Jackie Chan's hundreds of forums about the "Book of Songs". Especially in that dream: Liang Bing ran happily in the rapeseed field, which was as yellow as the wheat field. Suddenly the little beggar he had rescued appeared among the rapeseed flowers. He pointed an arrow at him and shot him down... The little beggar is a very symbolic symbol in the film. It has appeared several times. Friends who are interested may wish to pay attention to it. I think that Jackie Chan borrowed the image of the wheat field in order to call out "Save the children" like Holden. After all, "Love the peace, start with the baby", Jackie Chan is willing to be the "cattle of the rape field."

In addition to the rape field and the little beggar, there are many symbolic things in the movie. Friends with textual research may wish to explore the deep meaning of them. For example:
●The flag
movie begins with the protection of the flag and ends with the protection of the flag. The guard was ambushed by the Liang army, and Prince Wei desperately protected the guard flag from falling, but was attacked by the Liang soldiers pretending to be dead and became a prisoner. The story unfolded. At the end of the story, Liang Bing returned to Liang State, only to find that Liang State had been destroyed. He was originally greedy for life and fear of death, but he was shot to death by random arrows in order to protect the last Liang Qi from falling.

●My dad said the
most frequent lines in this film. As a very important hidden figure, "My Dad" can speak, draw, and write: He speaks like Zhao Benshan, and he runs "eagle chickens, all meat in the pot" and so on. I look forward to hearing it. Forgotten friends, compiled "my father" quotations; able to draw a map, in fact, the map itself is not very useful, the key is to show the calligraphy of "my father" behind: Taiping (in that era, not ordinary people can write).

●Very good
The second most frequent line in this film, the mantra of "My father", the core idea of ​​which is the philosophy of survival in troubled times as long as you live. Under the flicker of the brilliant thoughts of "My Dad", Prince Wei, who wanted to rebuild the glory of the great country, completed the great transformation from "hot-blooded man" to "tortoise with head down".

●Little People
Another high-frequency line, Prince Wei’s catchphrase, but he said too much, which made people feel a bit blunt and became a strong label, just to tell everyone: Big Brother is really just a "little person" this time.
The ending of the story also reveals such a truth: small people can only kill themselves when they do the things of big people; while big people have the mind of small people, but they can be killed by the common people.

● five acres of
Liangbing prisoner Wei prince was to return home to change five acres of planted canola flower and live a "peasant woman, spring, a little field" happy life.
In fact, 100 mu at that time was only equivalent to 29.07 mu today. In other words, the handsome Prince Wei could only trade 1.45 mu of farmland; it turned out that the dream of a little man was to have a "happy farm".

In a movie, with so many symbolic things, Jackie Chan is constantly reminding people to pay attention to his changes: Jackie Chan's movies have also begun to have depth. Although this "depth" has been explored by others as early as "Hero", "Ink Attack", and "Rye Field", Jackie Chan still found a good perspective and discovered a good "newcomer" (Wang Leehom), Coupled with the usual fighting and funny elements of Jackie Chan's movies, even if those symbols and depth are aside, it is still the most worth watching New Year movie this year.

Third,

when watching movies, I am most afraid of more children. This year’s Lunar New Year archives unexpectedly ran into "Home Alone" three times: "Pleasant Goat and Big Big Wolf" needless to say, the other two are Jackie Chan's "Agent Next Door" and "Little Soldier". Perhaps in the eyes of children, Jackie Chan is as cute as Big Big Wolf. It's just that the 56-year-old "Big Gray Wolf" gag in "The Agent Next Door" makes me a little bit sour.
I often confuse Jackie Chan's movies because every movie is so similar. Jackie Chan is always the same Jackie Chan. Therefore, I will give 3 stars to support Jackie Chan’s efforts this time.
1 star is given to the two beauties in the film: Lin Peng and Xu Dongmei in the New Seven Little Fortunes. Lin Peng's two songs and dances are amazing, but in terms of the plot, they seem to be dispensable. Xu Dongmei plays a barbarian female general, so she doesn't have any decent lines except for humming haha, but her appearance is full of wild beauty, which is very tickling.
There is one more star to be given to Leehom Wang. As the king of singers, Leehom Wang's performance in the film was mediocre. He was so miserable that he was going to make a tertiary film "Lust Caution." But this time he played Prince Wei, without a Chinese dress, but with a graceful and calm temperament. The "Dragon-King Combination" also cooperated with each other tacitly. The 34-year-old Wang Leehom was finally led by Jackie Chan. The background of the

four

films is set at the end of the Warring States Period, where Wei and Liang are at war. This is contrary to historical common sense. Because, during the 800 years of the Spring and Autumn Period and Warring States Period, the Weiguo has been very weak, and was destroyed several times, all with the help of other countries. It was precisely because it was so weak that Qin Shihuang didn’t bother to destroy him later. It was not until Qin II abolished Weijun’s corner (that is, Prince Wei in the film) that Wei was officially subjugated. At this time, it has been 12 years since the Qin Dynasty unified the world. Up. To say that a country as weak as Weiguo cannot be weaker is really nonsense to say that it has the ambition to dominate the world. The Liang State at that time refers to the Wei State of the Seven Heroes of the Warring States Period.

Of course, for such a good-looking movie, this bit of flaws can only be regarded as nitpicking.
