The legendary life of the thief

"Seamless" is a movie about the theft of diamonds. Although the story is old-fashioned, the layout is innovative. Because ordinary crime movies are either fighting for money or fighting for profit. Looking at the whole article, it is either a battle of wits and bravery between the police and criminals, or a dispute between the black and the black. Few put aside the function of sensory entertainment, enter the level of social critical consciousness, and use film as the speech. , the screen is the podium, facing the audience, making a sharp and fierce protest. However, the film "Seamless" is unique in its purpose and originality in creativity. It focuses on deep sociological significance for ordinary criminal crimes, and then gives ordinary criminal motives a surprising secret. Based on this alone, Just like many commercial films that are stagnant on the flashy surface, if you add ulterior motives, it may be the essential difference between free creative Hollywood and the TVB.

But simply to say that "Seamless" is a theft movie is biased, and even if you add the word revenge, it is not complete. In fact, using the word legend to summarize it is more in line with the theme of the movie. But this reason, the audience is not at the end, will not know. Because even the protagonist turns his anger into a calm ingenuity, and uses years to temper his edge, seeking opportunities to deal a fatal blow to his opponent without making a sound. At this point, London on the Atlantic side also felt the revenge of Zhao's orphan, Yu Rang's newspaper owner, and Zixu in the history of China's Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period. The so-called legend, is the generation of coincidence. Looking at the story in the film again, a coerced beauty, from rejection to joining, joining to accomplice, accomplice to rebellion, rebellion to dismantling, dismantling to disbanding, the process can be described as ups and downs, twists and turns, both facing deep and thin. Nervous, a lot of excitement, but also scheming, sympathetic feelings, social situation, workplace shady, business struggle, human feelings are played out slowly, under the dazzling diamond light, the transmission is inspiring Heartwarming play.

However, what is more worthy of the audience's appreciation is the meaningful ending of the film. In a street cafe, the heroine who has long been a face of wind and frost said to the female reporter who came to interview, the meaning of life, is it to give or take? - This is the real heart of the story! After 40 years, from the 100 million pounds stolen at that time to the last penny, the old woman sighed that she had gained real freedom from then on. Is this atonement or enlightenment? The traditional narrative that people die for wealth and birds die for food has now been elevated to the baptism of the soul, no longer the shock of the riotous and turbulent colors, and the battle of the characters' love, hatred, and hatred. The shadowy figure, in the glass-steel cold-iron lined with high-rise buildings, silently narrates that once the sea is difficult to become water, except Wushan is not a cloud.

In fact, this kind of chivalrous mood can also be found in traditional Chinese culture. For example, the robber in the Spring and Autumn Period said: "The person who judges how much money a family has based on rich experience is a saint; the one who takes the lead and rushes in first, That is courage; the last thing to break when retreating is righteousness; the one who can accurately judge whether the deal is worth doing is wisdom; the one who can distribute property fairly is benevolence.” The holy and brave are both righteous, wise and benevolent, which can be described as stealing. gentleman. Li Shelu, a poet in the Tang Dynasty, was robbed by a hero in the green forest, and he also had an adventure where he wanted poetry but not money. There is also a story in Ji Yun's "Notes on Yuewei Thatched Cottage", with a few sentences about the experience of drama robbery, and also witnesses the demeanor of a robber: "A robber can be defeated or undefeated, you know it? Corrupt officials and officials, torture and threaten money. ; God raped the giant beetle, robbed the wealth that was obtained by accident; father, son and brother, concealed the wealth that was obtained; friends and relatives, forced the wealth of deception; wealth; as well as all the wealth that is mean-spirited, harming others and benefiting oneself, it is harmless to take it.”

Only in this era, it is difficult to find such a handsome man. Because China's rivers and lakes have become their own cultural space, and the green forest of bandits hides a free world. No matter the barren mountains and mountains, the ancient tea-horse road, the restaurants and inns, and the market and trade, there is a spirit of nourishing talents; Zhou Ding Shang Yi, Qin Yue Han Pass, Jin Tie Tang Qin, Song Ci Ming paintings all have breathing Culture's few genes. When the water sources of the rivers and lakes are exhausted, the living space is suffocated, and the cultural China collapses. From burning calligraphy and painting, to demolishing city walls, smashing temples, and smashing temples, it can be said that every effort is spared. I am afraid that some good things will be left, and naturally it will be difficult to find. Mi Fu's landscape, Suzhou's Kunqu Opera, Yangzhou's gardens, famous paintings and calligraphy, calligraphy and painting silk and bamboo have become the most famous, landscape gardens, pavilions and pavilions are already remnants. Therefore, don’t pretend to be stupid and ask why there are no masters now, and don’t pretend to promulgate cultural development policies. Culture is not a finished product on the production line, and masters cannot be produced from the heap of minions. Girls can't lift them up and let their immature bodies be pushed to and fro under the wheels. This is a tragedy that even Spielberg can't photograph.
