Some people say that Bingdou’s tragedy is caused by his innocence. Some people say that he has taken risks again and again and is compelled to make progress and struggle without subjective wishes. Instead, he is ultimately irretrievable by his instinct to survive. place. I think both statements are correct.
There is nothing wrong with his character, but because of the special environment, his innocence has become the Achilles' heel, becoming a dagger for himself, no matter if the dagger is held by the enemy or by the brother. If he is still him, but his profession is a copywriter, a driver, a security guard, and an ordinary employee who does not need a high level of education, then no matter how innocent he believes in others, no matter how mistakes he makes, he will not take his own life as his life. cost. Some high-risk occupations such as police and firefighters may also be life threatened, but they are not killed because of their personalities and will not be killed by their brothers. Circumstances—a condition that some people can choose and others cannot choose—is the main cause of his tragedy in life.
You may ask how other people who are connected to the underworld but survive, such as bosses who don't do their own hands from start to finish but are stained with blood, can always exist. The boss in the film may be the final winner. He did not do anything but took advantage of the fisherman’s profit. Not only did the younger brother deal with the prosecutor’s thorny prosecutors, he also attributed the real estate business to his own name, and dealt with what should have been more of a share. Bingdou. However, in fact, he is not in the gangster world, but only has a cooperative relationship with those small gangsters. To put it bluntly, it is an employment relationship. No matter what they deal with in the end, they can be said to have nothing to do with them, as long as the gangsters have no evidence. That boss is a person with a certain position and a certain position in the real world. People will not associate him with those murders and hiring murders. He has the means to protect himself, but Bingdou doesn't, and those gangsters don't. They are also some small-scale gangs. Their biggest weapon is the dagger. They usually use lifeless wooden clubs and iron rods when they are dispatched. Their capital is their body, and their wages are paid according to their moods by those glamorous but blood-stained bosses and civil servants. No one is protected. If something goes wrong, it won't help you solve it. If you don't solve it well, you may impinge yourself. Just solve you, you still don't know who killed you in the end. Bing Dou was the one who was sacrificed. His former boss was solved by him, and now he is also solved by his own younger brother. This is reality.
This is a small-scale gangster, in fact, it can't be called a gangster. If the real gang has a long history and clear gang rules, I think it is not allowed to kill the younger brother, otherwise, how prestigious and safe is the gang boss. Bingdou’s more than a dozen gangster brothers said they were big and small, and the rule was that "a family is the mouth for eating together" and "even if the stomach is not full, you must clean your shoes." These Bingdou thoughts The idealized criterion is ultimately no match for a command from the immediate boss, no match for the boss who can send more money to them. Therefore, they betrayed Bing Dou without hesitation, stepped on his body, and became a higher-ranking bastard.
It can be said that Bingdou's death is inevitable. Even if the brothers didn’t listen to the boss’s words to kill him this time, even if Zongxiu didn’t go to the writer to settle accounts, even if the writer didn’t tell the secret in the future, the same thing would happen in the future, whether it’s someone who should not be trusted. , I still naively thought that my brother would never betray him. His trust in his childhood friends, his dedication to his lover, and his care for his family are just like an ordinary person, pure and lovely. However, being in a gang environment made him struggle again and again, crossing the boundaries of the law, and crossing the lives of others. He did not get the money made out of his life, but was harmed by the people around him, leaving his relatives ignorant. , The endless waiting for the lover.
In fact, Bingdou has always been protected by no one. At the beginning, when he was still in front of his little brother, something happened. His previous boss accidentally stabbed the other person to death in a duel, and his immediate boss did not cover him. He could only find a little brother to replace him in prison. , With the right to operate the game hall as compensation. Later, the murder of the prosecutor was revealed, and the boss did not help to cover Bingdou. He also called Bingdou "solve his own troubles," and when he threatened his status, he immediately asked another person to kill Bingdou. This is not a big brother who can cover others at all, but a villain who only cares about his own interests and uses money everywhere to use others to achieve his own despicable goals. But he, in the end, was the biggest winner.
In such an environment, no one can be alone, unless you really have any one or a few of rights, status, or money. Even if it is the director, at the moment when there is intersection with the underworld, there is no one to protect him. He can only become a tool that is used and manipulated by others without the power to fight back.
This tragedy was a bit unacceptable when I saw it the first time. I didn’t accept that Bingdou died suddenly and without warning. After watching the second time, I found out that the seeds planted in the previous movie, the matting, such an environment, the rules followed, that’s it, just Bingdou Dou, like me, didn't find it from beginning to end. It wasn't until the moment of the end of life that I might not find out, repent, be angry, and helpless. Such a person who is warm to relatives, friends and lovers, although he is forced to commit murder, debt collection, and forced households to go, although it is forced to make a living, the murder is indeed worthy of life, but the most unacceptable thing is that Killed by the closest brother around him. Never imagined that it would be your brother who gets along with you day and night, the brother who keeps saying "family".
If, if, even half of Bingdou's younger brothers in the movie, like Bingdou, treat their brothers as a "family", perhaps Bingdou's tragedy will not happen. No, even if one person wants to be in position, Bing Dou will definitely die. Besides, as long as the boss wants him to die, he will have to die. Such beautiful illusions do not exist-because they live on "despicable streets."
At the end of the film, Zhao Yincheng (Bingdou) turned around and said to the director, "You must make the essence of a gangster movie." He didn't know that the essence of the gang spirit was contrary to his beliefs.
[Actually, the actors performed well, and many small details paved the way for the plot later. For example, when the boss first trusted Bingdou, every time he talked with Bingdou, he was amiable and smiled. Later, he learned that Bingdou hadn't dealt with things properly, spoke cautiously and looked indifferent, and looked frightened and afraid that it was irrelevant. When he met Bingdou for the last time, It is already decided not to have any relationship with him, the expression that draws the line, and the tone of distrust of him; when Bingdou decided to settle the director and Zongxiu (his close-fitting brother) when talking about the funeral, Zongxiu's eyes dodge The tone of guilty conscience has paved the way for the subsequent betrayal; the night when Bingdou confided the secret with the director, after the story was told, the camera switched to the high-rise building in the rain outside the window, and the director who smoked and thought through the window, just a few seconds Staying indicates the director’s thinking and the plan already in his mind; the later director did not call Bingdou when he opened, because he was afraid that Bingdou would find himself betrayed after seeing the movie; in the last scene the director had a drink with the boss and Zongxiu, and Zongxiu entered the door. At that moment, the director's eyes already knew the fact that Bingdou's position was replaced, that is, he was killed. 】
