The county magistrate, the magistrate's wife, and the master, this interest group is sitting on the train, eating hot pot and singing. , During this period, how many people believed that the reins would be broken? But as long as someone fights, it will break sooner or later... Well, when the horses run away, this luxurious but self-propelled train not only can't move an inch, but also derails and overturns. Accompanying death...
The story kicks off in such a scene. Maybe Jiang Wen does have a lot to say, maybe we are just over-interpreting it, but it is very interesting to develop thinking. , there is a shadow of the Tianjin green-skinned gangster who was more ruthless than self-harm. In the early movie "The Whip of God", the prototype of Chen Baoguo's character can be found, but I can say, is this insinuating to open the chest and experience the lungs?
If I remember correctly, at the climax of the film, Jiang Wen squeezed out a sentence between his teeth, "I just want to draw out the fire in their hearts!" After that, he shouted "Gun in hand, follow me!" 6 times. 6 times~~~ In the end, I only followed 50 geese... And after the execution of Chow Yun-fat's stand-in, everyone began to fight for the first. I can say, isn't this a true portrayal of the spectator-style grassroots?
One thing I didn't figure out was that there are many Japanese elements in the film, including mistakes, caesarean section, beheading, big drum, and the face of the drummer who is white through. The soundtrack is the theme music of the adapted "Seven Samurai", and there are seven bandits in total. What is Jiang Wen trying to express? Tribute to Akira Kurosawa? Or is it that ancient Japan learns from China, modern China learns from Japan, and contemporary people blindly hate Japan. Jiang Wen wants to amplify the Japanese elements he admires for popular science?
Of course, it can't be perfect. The sudden treachery of Jiang Wu, how Chen Kun's body was transferred, and the death of Shao Bing are all vaguely explained. Necessary, but generally speaking, under the prestige, it lives up to its expectations, and these flaws are negligible compared to the real core content. Jiang Wen's powerful stinky man has an aggressive aura, the kind of aura of "earn money while standing", even the man wanted to give him his shoes, and the woman wanted to make him a concubine...
Zhang Yimou deconstructed that Love is entangled with women; Chen Kaige deconstructed morality, and entangled with power; Feng Xiaogang deconstructed interpersonal relationships, entangled with life and death; Jiang Wen deconstructed subversion, entangled with success or failure. thing. They're all talking to themselves, showing off their personality traits.
While I gave this film a good review, I also hoped that before I watched this film, I didn't see any news and comments about "Let the Bullets Fly", and I didn't even know that it was directed by Jiang Wen. it is good.
For example, you said what would happen if this film was made by Zhang Yimou?
