In the past martial arts movies, people feel: they played so happy. "October Siege" makes people feel: it hurts.
This martial arts movie made people scream: Don't fight it!
Someone asked me: What's wrong with this film? I'm speechless for a while.
(The following are serious spoilers. Be cautious.)
1. Mode:
There is a kind of storytelling used in movies that can be called the "all-in-one guest mode" (or "the gathering of heroes mode"): a certain spiritual leader hides the masters in the world They all convened, Carrot had a meeting, and temporarily organized a group to complete an earth-shattering task together. These people are naturally tall, short, fat and thin, with weird shapes, and they show off the diversity of the human world. They have their own unique skills, and they usually hide deeply. In the ten-zhang soft red, they each act as an unknown vendor, a tailor shop owner, and a big bag ("Kung Fu"), leading the car and selling pulp. Once they hear the call, immediately Cone out of the capsule and gather into an indestructible force. Typical movies of this mode are the "Eleven Arhats" series, such as "The End of the World".
"October Besieged City" is also written according to this routine. This mode is very cute. It is like gathering all kinds of heroes together, like a hundred rivers returning to the sea, trickling down, first narrate each person's cow B, and each person makes an appearance, just like putting the kitty stuff into the bag one by one. , Little by little, made the viewer's expectation thicker, and finally the burden was shaken, and several gadgets were magically assembled into a glorious thing, and the show came on stage. The "group of heroes gather righteousness" in "Water Margin" is also somewhat similar.
The most chivalrous novel in Wen Ruian's collection is "Poems in the Knife Cluster". The book tells the story of a "gathering of heroes model": the admired hero Gong Xia was unjustly imprisoned, prostitutes, sons and other people from all walks of life came forward to rescue. "Every time there are more dog-killers in the righteousness", stories like this are often exciting.
The first question that martial arts films solve is: Why do you want to fight? Play as it should be. "October Besieged City" is the "revolution" for the drama. In fact, this is another version of "The Founding of a Nation", except that the Republic of China was built.
In the revolutionary situation, there are no brothers and righteousness, master and servant kindness, father and son love and affection, and children's love. The wheel of history whirled over, and touched the tire is full of blood. Think about it for a moment and feel stunned.
In "October Siege", what the righteous men needed to protect was Sun Yat-sen and his one-hour meeting with the revolutionary leaders of the provinces. In the words of Liang Jiahui in the film: "This hour is the hope of our 40,000 compatriots."
At the beginning, the viewers already knew that Sun Wen must not die, and those who protect him must die. So the tragedy starts from the first minute.
2. Sun Dapao’s cannon fodder:
Among these righteous men, some of them were taken advantage of because they didn't understand them at all, and some of them were already bored and just wanted to work hard. This is not the seventy-two righteous men of Huanghuagang. Their purpose is not pure. They are not everyone like Li Chongguang, "When you close your eyes, you see China's tomorrow." However, every drop of blood is hot, and all sacrifices are admirable, admirable, and sensible.
Leung Ka Fai (Chen Shao Bai):
With Leung Ka Fai's acting skills, it can be said that there is no challenge to acting such a character. His performance is also quite satisfactory, because his role is to thread the needle, so he turned out to be the most boring person in the film. The most remarkable point of the lottery is that the person who caught the lottery will be Sun Wen's stand-in, that is, as a living target. Everyone knows that it will be difficult to live if they go. However, Li Chongguang, the most immortal person, is on the contrary ( As expected, within reason) caught it. The aspiring person who had just been righteous and awe-inspiring immediately lost his attitude and could no longer put on the face of "everyone is equal": Chen Shaobai can't pass this level-if you have three long and two shortcomings, how can I explain to your father? How can I be worthy of his trust in me? ! I already owe your dad too much. If I owe him another son, I will never be able to repay his friend in my whole life - but he can't express these hardships in full view. The young man who wanted to save the country didn't understand that he was too young and his blood was too hot. He was not wrong, no one was wrong, so this is a tragedy. Chen Shaobai's anxiety and screaming at that moment made people extremely sad.
(Later, a friend raised questions: Liang Jiahui originally clamored that "our generation should sacrifice in exchange for the happiness of the Chongguang generation", but how did Chongguang, A Si, Fang Hong and their young and old die? Not dead yet?!)
Shen Chongyang (Yen Zidan):
On the poster of "October Besieged City", the filmmaker gathered a bunch of carrot shreds together to make a platter, and the trace in the center was Donnie Yen. In fact, this should be the film's box office calculation, deliberately arranged this way, after all, now the jet plane Li Qianxin is facing the Buddha, Dalai, and Jackie. The gully on Cheng's face is getting more and more Mariana (even his son has come out for the Lunar New Year stall). Today, after Yen Zidan became a master Ye and beat a Japanese, it is already (after years of half red and not black) After being the second child for a thousand years, he was finally promoted to a "national thug", so the film party put the red radish in the middle of the plate. But in fact, Donnie Yen is really not the protagonist, he also belongs to the group of "innocent".
The relationship between him and Fan Bingbing is a bit like Guo Fucheng and Yang Caini in "Father and Son": this woman loved this man, but he bet that it was an unreliable prosthesis (Yan Ni in "Three Shots"), so the woman brought her own beauty Went to marry a big money with his own baby... But how did Li Yutang get to know Mrs. Shen who was pregnant, and how did she turn her into his own "lighting in the courtyard"? Such a wealthy man would still be willing to have a married woman? There is doubt here, it is estimated that the screenwriter is difficult to justify, of course, he does not need to be round. This is a martial arts drama not a love triangle tragedy drama, just like "The Wind" is a spy war drama not a broken back drama, Bai Xiaonian’s personal affair with the commander is also a point. At the end, "the dragon sees the head but not the end", just give this character a piece of history to make him plump. But after this woman became the "lighting of the four courtyards" of other people's homes, she came back with a shy face and asked her ex-husband to protect her current husband? ——It seems that although Li Yutang is old, he is still better than a strong young man——and the condition of this woman is actually "I will tell the child that her father is you". Shen Chongyang actually stood in the justice camp for this, which is really far-fetched.
——His little girl (who has been riding a small wooden horse, she might be a Mulan when she grows up) is really a Ning Xiner, she has big eyes and she looks like a snow ball. Outside the rickshaw, Shen Chongyang trot with the car all the way, staring at his daughter but silently, his eyes were surprised, joy, regret...In this place, Brother Bullet played really well.
—— Duan Yanqing, who has been in trouble for many years, suddenly learned from Dao Baifeng that he actually had a son in "The Eight Parts of Heavenly Dragons". The handsome boy Duan Yu in front of him was like that, so "the surprises meet, I just want to shout and jump. , There was a very loud voice in his chest that wanted to call out:'I have a son'!" Shen Chongyang knew that he was in the mood to have a woman, and he should not be far away.
Shen Chongyang is the most impure and most suspicious member of this rabble revolutionary team. But the film’s position is: the blood is washed away, in any case, the sacrifice is a good comrade. Shen Chongyang eventually collided with the enemy's galloping horse and died. He was also awarded with heroic and sensational background music and subtitles such as "Hometown Unknown".
Li Yutang (Wang Xueqi):
Chinese people pay attention to "hugging grandchildren but not children". Grandpa treats grandchildren as much as possible, but his feelings for his father and children must be restrained. , I had to bear it, and took out a cold face, just like Jia Zheng treated Baoyu, even if I really feel that my love is like Fengshen, I have to scold "what do you know as a bastard". Li Yutang played by Wang Xueqi (the name Li Yutang always reminds me of "White Jade Tiger". Yutang, also known as "Yutang Golden Horse Figure") is such a stern father who is not angry and self-prestigious. While eating, the beautiful concubines were sitting around them, and Yingying Yanyan called "father" together, which was quite interesting. There are many daughters, and the son who has won at the age of forty is like the moon held by the stars. Although only a few shots are given at the dinner table, the sisters' love for the younger brother and Li's family education are all among them.
Li Yutang is not a revolutionary party in the strict sense. This "representative of the big bourgeoisie" (the bourgeoisie leads the proletariat to revolutionize, the Hong Kong people’s revolutionary outlook is really lovely), and the relationship with the revolution has always been close to each other, keeping a safe distance. When Li Yutang thought that his best friend was dead, he gritted his teeth to complete his friend's will. However, his contribution to the revolution always has a bottom line, and this bottom line is his son Li Chongguang.
Song Charlie, the rich man played by Jiang Wen in "Song Dynasty", is Sun Wen’s best friend. He supports Sun Wen’s artillery career spiritually and financially, but-you can just be Sun Dapao, you can’t let me The daughter is a cannon fodder. I can give you everything, but my daughter can't give it to you. Therefore, after Sun Wen hooked up with Qingling's two daughters and eloped, Charlie Song was sad and angry, cursing and breaking off Sun Wen. Li Yutang’s attitude towards revolution is also the same-you can give as much money as you want, but you can never give it to your son. However, he still lost to the blood of a young man. When he found out that the substitute in the rickshaw was his son, Li Yutang hurriedly chased him out, his legs weakened, and he tripped on the threshold. This fell really well.
After that, there is a tribute to the "Odessa Stairs" (a lot of people mentioned it here, so I won’t repeat it). Such a good son died in front of his own eyes and left without a word. There is no more pain in life than this. When Li Yutang was embarrassed with his son, he only murmured one sentence: "I told you not to go out, you are not obedient..."-He had expected this to be dangerous, nine deaths and one death ("The Thorn Tomb") Chen Daoming language). And the father would rather die 10,000 times by himself than lose a feather from his beloved son. Chen Shaobai was crying bitterly on one side, and this tear was different from Li Yutang—in addition to the grief over the death of a good boy, he also felt ashamed to apologize to his friend. Li Yutang hugged his son's body tightly, and only looked up at Chen Shaobai with teary eyes. What a look! Endless pain and complaints are all in it. He didn't hold Chen Shaobai's shoulder and swayed desperately: "You pay back my son, you pay back my son!" (That would become a TV series) The real grief is powerless, not only powerless to speak, but powerless to pursue it. The son is dead, and Da Luo Jinxian can't save him when he descends. Apart from tears, there is nothing else to say.
(Wang Xueqi’s look is worth N actor. When the media reporter who watched the film interviewed Wang Xueqi, they said without exception: "Are you ready to take the actor?" The real good acting skills turned out to be something like this: It's as obvious as a black briquettes on the snow. It makes you convince yourself.)
However, "who has no parents in the dignified people? Support and support, fear the death of his life. Who has no brothers? Like feet as hands. Who does not have couples? Like friends like friends." Every little person is someone’s big person, each Ordinary people are also someone’s treasures and beloved ones. Fang Hong should have family members in his hometown, and Deng’s fourth brother also has a lover, Ah Chun. You have the pain of losing a child. Are all others steel, wood and stone? At this time, thinking about Li Yutang’s ban on his son's footsteps, "Don’t go out if the chaos outside these days" and his "thank you" to all the "righteous men", I feel a bit cruel—could it be that your son’s life is special? More precious?
Fourth brother Deng (Nicholas Tse):
Fourth brother Deng followed the good traditions of film and television dramas: whoever dares to say "I will get married tomorrow (retired/golden basin washed my hands)" will undoubtedly die.
When the driver A Si pulled the master through the photo studio every day, he gently rang the bell, and the beautiful "bell bell" inside turned his head and smiled.
But I knew he was going to die, and I knew that the wedding would never happen. Halfway through the movie, I asked the screenwriter silently: Do you dare to let him die? Do you dare to let him go back alive and marry his lover? ——Don't dare. The screenwriter answered my question with the following plot.
Li Yutang also knew that he was going to die, so the day before the storm, he eagerly brought Ah Si to the door to propose marriage, and the shopkeeper of the photo studio was so surprised that he couldn't speak for a while. This is the last thing he can do for the driver, and he knows in his heart that this is the last bit of happiness that A Si can enjoy. The boy and girl didn't feel the ominousness, they still looked at each other and smiled. When Ah Chun stood up and walked limpingly, Ah Si looked at her still obsessed as a fairy looking down. It was at this moment that the tragedy of the war was beginning to be ugly-in the most warm way. Tragedy is the smashing of beautiful things for people to see. When we admire the beauty, the tragedy has already begun.
When the little lover whispered for the last time, Ah Chun (Mrs. Jiang) asked: Do you know who you will protect tomorrow? Ah Si shook his head and smiled brilliantly, ignorantly and innocently. So brilliant, so sad.
This ignorance turned out to be a silent sarcasm to the scheming revolutionary party.
Li Chongguang (Wang Baijie):
Among all radishes, Li Chongguang is probably the only person with a righteous heart. He is just a teenager, a hot-blooded teenager. People with hot blood die fast.
He is the purest revolutionary in this film. Chen Kexin said: Almost all revolutions started with the student movement: "May Fourth", Serbian middle school students assassinated the crown prince of the Austro-Hungarian Empire...Students are the most passionate element in society. Li Chongguang is such a passionate student.
What a lovely boy—under the influence of his father, he is a little mature. What he thought in his heart understood better than anyone else: "All China is involved, can I still stay out of the matter?"-He is not a reckless man who threw his life in a muddle-headed manner. Other unscrupulous children deceived his father for the sake of spending time and wine, and he deceived his father for the great cause of revolution. He would be afraid, but he trembled and held on to the last minute.
If such a good son dies, it's no wonder the father is so sad.
Fang Hong (Li Yuchun):
What should girls dress up during the Republic of China? In the film, Fan Bingbing and Li Jiaxin, who gave a glimpse of a glimpse, are both meticulously dressed. They don’t know why Mrs. Jiang, who is sitting in the photo studio. Wearing a pilot-like "ear cap" and dressing like a small tuxalu? Of course, this can be explained as-Fang Hong is a tomboy, Mulan, who didn’t love red makeup and menswear since he was a child, or General Fang Rongma was so magnificent that it was inconvenient to bring a girl with him. ". But I think it might be like this: the stylist is afraid of putting two pigtails on Li Yuchun's head, and the audience will laugh at it. In order not to let the acrimonious people on the Internet catch the conversation, so they simply follow the public opinion and dress up as A little boy.
Fang Hong's father was originally the "General Fang Tian". After the defeat, he was laid off and re-employed. He became a show troupe. Jiangmen Huniu's name is Fang Hong. Before fighting with the enemy, General Fang stunned his daughter neatly and wrapped it in the sheet. A rope was pulled down the window, just when the wooden board fell gently to cover her. In the face of danger, there is still such a meticulous arrangement, which shows the courage and strategy of the general. Then this benevolent father turned around to face the enemy and fought to death with confidence.
(It is reminiscent of Gui Xinshu and his wife in "The Deer and Ding Ji". When Kangxi knew that he was bound to die, he first threw his son Guizhong out the window with all his strength.)
Therefore, Fang Hongjuan came in not to avenge Sun Wen or the revolution, but to avenge his father. So when he saw the enemy, he didn't care what Mr. Sun was, and ran off with the enemy, and then hit and ran into the killer's gunpowder store. The fuse is sizzling, and the gunpowder keg is about to be lit soon! what to do? ! I admit that I wanted to be crooked at the time-did Yi use the method of the Belgian hero Julien to extinguish the gunpowder letter? ! Can't it? ...Finally, the little Chinese hero Fang Hong rushed to the door and locked the door of the house with a nine-section whip, gritted his teeth and muttered: "Father, my daughter is not filial..." There was a loud noise, and the jade and stone were burned-why is it not filial? Because my father tried everything possible to protect the life of his beloved daughter, but now he is about to throw it away in a blink of an eye. What is hateful is not not being able to survive, but betraying my father's painstaking effort to live by himself.
——In 2003 Chen Desen's original lineup, Xiao Yaxuan played Fang Hong. I am curious what would it be like if Elva Hsiao came to play this role? But now, Li Yuchun’s performance makes people feel like "don’t want to be a second person." He has shown the courage, tenacity and straightforwardness of the door tiger girl to the right place, making people feel pity: what a good girl, it’s Dong Cunrui. Woolen cloth!
Shaolin Monk Fuming (Battle):
Almost every martial arts novel has a character like Battelle: nine feet long, a waist wide of ten, he is born with supernatural power, martial arts is strong, but his mind is not so brilliant (such as "White Jade Tiger" "Hu Ju, the steward of Xiao Donglou, the Dahuanxi Bodhisattva in "The First Sword of the Storm", and the barefoot man in "The Legend of Heroes of the Banner"). Batel started selling stinky tofu and loved flowers and plants. He said that he would return to Shaolin Temple after finishing the matter (in fact, I didn't explain it clearly here). This person is in the category of "Are from the Wind and Dust", similar to the genus of "The Iron Beggar in the Snow" Wu Liuqi. His existence is to make this hero spectrum more legendary.
However, this person was really deceived by Li Yutang. He didn't really understand how sinister tomorrow's task was. The film seems to say: Under a bright background, such a small dirty can be ignored. However, if you look at it with the values of "Saving Private Ryan", this is a bad deed that the Revolutionaries cannot hide in the film.
During the decisive battle, God Battelle stretched out his hand with the championship ring and threw the brains of one enemy after another with his magical shooting skills. The big man has strong vitality, was besieged by Xiao Xiao, and suffered several injuries. He still climbed up to fight again.
In the end, he overturned the archway's pillars and died with the enemy, as mighty as Samson, the strong man in the "Bible" who knocked down the stone pillars of the temple and died with the Philistines.
Liu Yubai (Liming):
This is the most immortal and chivalrous character. This is the most difficult person to define in the "righteous man". The woman who fell in love with her father (in fact, this section is a bit clichéd, "Silver Empire" has just used it), making her old father angry and her lover committing suicide, so she arbitrarily abuses herself, willing to be a beggar, and sinks into a haze. Ten years of sorrow, condensed in a few words and a few actions (when Li Yutang passed by, a silver coin threw it over, his eyes were pitiful. The side brushwork described Liu Yubai's sadness and pity). Sad people don't have their arms-after Li Xunhuan lost Lin Shiyin, he was also drunk all day long. Love is deep, so hard to extricate yourself.
In the end, he bathed, shaved, and pickled the beggar turned back into Young Master Pian Pian (maybe he used to have the title of "Iron Fan Young Master"?). On the steps outside Sun's house, he has long hair fluttering with his hands behind his back. The rock is independent like a lone pine, and his appearance is like a heavenly man.
Of course, it was outnumbered in the end. Scratching hooks pierced his flesh and blood one by one. Gradually not support. As he panted for blood, the most ferocious enemy approached step by step.
——Why is he desperate? About half of it was because he had no love for his life, and the other was to repay him: everyone in the world regarded him as a beggar, but Li Yutang still called him "Liu Gongzi." He accepts Li Yutang's silver coins to smoke opium every day, and will silently make up his mind to repay this respect with his life.
——This story has the old style of "Jing Ke repaying the prince Yan" and "Feng Chang repaying the king of Mengchang" during the Spring and Autumn and Warring States period.
After the death of this person, I paid special attention to the native place arranged for him by the filming party: Yangzhou, Jiangsu-a place of eternal love.
Liu Yubai's vision of a tearful beauty (Li Jiaxin) before his death was a real surprise. Reminiscent of the end of "A Tale of Two Cities": Carlton imagined his beloved woman and went to death calmly.
——I am about to see her. I am about to get rid of the shackles of my heart. I am about to get the best rest. I am about to enter a permanent sleep.
Yan Xiaoguo (Hu Jun):
Hu Jun’s look is said to be very meticulous. It is said that it takes forty minutes to remove makeup. In fact, I didn’t really see where the time was spent, so I put a small chin scar on it? At first glance, the poster thought that the person was Ji Chunhua. If the styling is intended to cosplay Ji Chunhua (the browless villain in "Shaolin Temple" and "Fang Shiyu"), then it is very successful.
In front of this titan, Chen Shaobai indeed appeared to be a "scholar rebellion"-he was dizzy and didn't even dare to look at the blood.
But there are also flaws here. Yan Xiaoguo has repeatedly claimed that he is a student of Chen Shaobai, and he is worried about Chen Shaobai’s testimony to him (remember to be "brave and unpretentious, embarrassing and useless"), but when was that? What's the matter? Yan Xiaoguo should be less than forty and more than 30. Chen Shaobai looks at most ten years older than him. Could it be Yan Xiaoguo's young and old man?
People with pursuits and beliefs are respected no matter what (so the hairdresser Tao De kills people like hemp and still teaches people to break their hearts), Yan Xiaoguo is actually upgrading Banna Lan Yuanshu.
This person's surname: "Yan", it is wonderful, he is not just like a Yan Luo.
Yan Xiaoguo's strength is not only due to his martial arts, but also his inner strength is very firm, and he holds the belief that he will go through fire and water and lose his body. His will is no less than a revolutionary believer in the Three People's Principles. The pros and cons are evenly matched. This arrangement makes the play more attractive.
He, the highest martial artist, was the last one to shoot. The shot showing that he is about to enter the battle in person is very delicate: a close-up of a hand, and he slowly retreats the finger on his hand. His death is also intriguing. He who "punished the Sun thief and served the court", at the moment before his death, firmly believed that he had already got rid of Sun Wen, and died contentedly. This is a very full and credible villain.
——Or: In the last long stage, Chen Shaobai already yelled "He is not Sun Wen" and "Come and run away." Why does Yan Xiaoguo still have to kill the man in the car? Foolishly thought: Yan Xiaoguo has entered a semi-crazy state at this time. He who has a high self-esteem, does not believe or wants to believe that what he is chasing for half a day is only a Xibei goods. After stabbing the man in the car to death, he can comfort himself in conjecture. "The sun thief is dead, and the student has served the country."
Superintendent (Zeng Zhiwei):
This character is very similar to Lin Jiadong in "Ip Man"-a "gray man". In fact, more people are like this: under the premise of self-protection, they do some conscience to a limited extent. He is the "third party" standing between the revolutionaries and the Eagles of the Qing Dynasty, making this record of the situation reflect more complicated brilliance. Zeng Zhiwei's dumb voice + foreign moustache + postbox body is very interesting.
Grandmother:
"October Siege" is a man's play (radish show). The female characters are all broccoli on the side of the plate, but the role of grandmother, although there are not many scenes, is very exciting. What should the mother of "Father of the Country" be called? ——"National Grandma"? This is a wonderful pen for writing Sun Wen from the side. Sun Wen never showed a face, but such a graceful mother, the son raised up can be imagined-he must have an incomparable leadership style, he can be worthy of "the expectation of 40,000 compatriots", he is worthy of many people with lofty ideals , Put life and blood as a bet, offered with both hands.
Outside, the grandmother kept calm and calm, sitting still, her only movement was to gently hold Li Chongguang's hand. This movement made people tremble. The beloved son is running around in the blood and blood, and every minute is in danger of his life. Now he is in this city, but he wants to see one side. He doesn't know when he will see each other again. The loving mother must be distressed and sad. But nothing showed on her face. The child in front of him, who was in danger in place of her son Sun Wen, trembled. She held his hand and held his hand with the palm of her mother, like her nephew.
This bloody battle sublimated all the little people in the earth and mud: beggars, coachmen, hawkers... After this, they all became "heroes."
After everyone died, their hometown, birth and death years were played on the screen. In a sense, this is an inscription for the unknown martyrs (Chongguang, Chongyang, Fuming, the names these screenwriters arranged for them also have beautiful meanings).
When they died, there was a dear one in their hearts, thinking of a bright future.
Allow me to end with Zhang Pu’s "Five People Tombstones": "Those who are gentry but not able to change their aspirations, how many people are there in the world? And the five people are among the editors, who have never heard of the teachings of poetry and books, and are passionate. Righteousness, ignorance of death... Otherwise, if the leader of the five people is to keep his leader old under the household, everyone will be able to command him for the best of his life. Sad?"
(This film was watched four or five days ago. When I walked out with red eyes and a loud nose, I saw Chen Kexin, who was in a gray shawl and hair, being interviewed in front. He said softly, "I think this film is okay. ”)
3. Missing
words. After being completely overwhelmed by the tear gas ambush in the film, I made too many admirations and seemed not calm enough, just like when you fall in love with someone, you lose the qualification to judge him. Objectively speaking, the overall historical view of "October Besieged City" is indeed its flaw: the praise of death has been over-magnified, and the ignorance of individual lives still follows China's consistent approach of "righteousness to destroy people." If believing in your own "righteousness" to the point of ignoring the lives of others, what is the difference between it and fanaticism? Li Yutang even deceived and fooled a bunch of people, and what he paid was his usual kindness and friendship towards those people. Those people are fighting for their lives because they are not greedy and fearful of death, and they do have the word "righteous" in their hearts. They will never let the enemy pass when they are in danger. And paving the way for revolution in such a sneaky way is really not the glory of revolutionaries.
Chen Shaobai's insistence that "this hour's time is the hope of 40,000 compatriots", if you look at it separately, it is nothing more than a family statement. Just as Liu Yubai and Li Yutang questioned each other: "Is it worth it?" Chen Shaobai and Li Chongguang naturally thought it was worth the sacrifice, but whether it was worth it or not, it must not be decided by a small group of people for most of them.
And the theme song "Powder" sings like this: "As long as I have lived for you, I am not a powder." The "you" here should refer to Sun Wenhe's "revolutionary cause", right? Although this lyrics strengthens the theme of sublimation, it is actually very much like a wishful absent arrangement of the living — the traffickers and pawns who "lived and died", do they really think so?
