reading "Certificate of Voting", the first people I met were people who said they were not good-looking, including the driver who sent us here, Master Wang . Master Wang belongs to the kind of master who usually doesn't watch movies. He even takes a look at "Bright Sword" and "Wolf Poison Flower" on TV. Unless the movie is on Channel 6, he never takes advantage of work. . So when Master Wang said it was not good-looking, I think it represented the views of quite a number of ordinary people. I was very curious why this movie made Master Wang think it was not good-looking.
There is no doubt that the prototype story of "Putting the Name" was spurred by the four strange cases in the Qing Dynasty. However, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, Ma Xinyi changed his name to Pang Qingyun, Huang Zong changed his name to Zhao Erhu, Zhang Wenxiang changed his name to Jiang Wuyang, but the basic trend of the story has not changed: Ma Xinyi, Huang Zong and Zhang Wenxiang started out as bandits together, and later joined the Qing Dynasty. Court, relying on the military exploits of suppressing the Taiping Army, Ma Xinyi became the governor of Liangjiang (the governor of Jiangsu in the movie). At this time, Ma Xinyi was fascinated by profits, not only hooked up with Huang Zong's wife Milan, but also killed Huang Zong, and was eventually killed by Zhang Wenxiang. stab to death.
The film and television works adapted from this story, starting from Zhang Shichuan's "The Revenge of the Hero" in 1928, have been added to the number of films and TV series now. Zhang Che alone has the movie "Thorn Horse" and the TV series "Thorn Horse". horse". However, in the previous works of "Putting the Name", Zhang Wenxiang (that is, Jiang Wuyang in "Putting the Name") is the positive protagonist. He abides by the brotherhood in traditional morality, and at the same time maintains the ethics of Gangchang. In the end, he assassinated the unkind and injustice. Ma Xinyi is very happy. In fact, this story is not only in line with the daily moral experience of ordinary people, but also in line with the principle of classic drama conflict. Starting from Yijie Jinlan, chaotic brothers' wives and killing brothers are the climax of the conflict, and being killed by brothers is the end. In the final analysis, what this story sells is brother cannibalism and uncle and sister-in-law adultery, which is what the common people are interested in.
The biggest difference between "Famous Name" and the previous stories is that Pang Qingyun (ie Ma Xinyi) is the absolute protagonist, and the original Jiang Wuyang (ie Zhang Wenxiang) has become a story thread. The biggest change caused by the change of the protagonist is that the theme of this story has changed from the original brother cannibalism, uncle and sister-in-law adultery to Pang Qingyun's personal history of desire expansion. How is the reality swallowed up by history.
Standing on the standpoint of historical materialism, it is people like Pang Qingyun who have extremely inflated personal desires who really promote the development of history, not people like Zhao Erhu/Huang Zong who are not firm and confused revolutionary, nor are they people like Zhang Wenxiang People who put feelings first and have no political savvy. At this point, "Courtesy of the Margin" not only borrowed the allusion of Lin Chongxue's going to Liangshan for three days in "Water Margin", but also brought the essence of "Water Margin". On Liangshan, the person who can make this cottage bigger and stronger is Song Jiang, not Chao Gai. Song Jiang, who is known as "Timely Rain", can unite all the forces that can be united for my use. In contrast, Chao Gai sticks to the small gang in Shijie Village, and dares not let go of the forces that can be united.
Although Zhao Erhu shouted the bold slogan "To be a bandit, you must be the biggest" in "Famous Name", it was actually an unrealistic high-profile - the biggest bandit is still a bandit unless he becomes an emperor ——This high profile did not point out any direction, but it was just a hoax, and it was just a day. This also coincides with Chao Gai's idea. The fact that the army was used by the imperial court was a practical and feasible way for the bandits led by Song Jiang and Pang Qingyun to become bigger and stronger. It is precisely because of this that Zhao Erhu's wife, who has been influenced by culture, cannot look down on Zhao Erhu, who is just a good person, but at a glance at Pang Qingyun, who is a jackal.
Power is always the most powerful aphrodisiac, and it seems that the only way to climb to the top of power is to step on someone else's shoulder. In the Hollywood movie "The Devil Wears PRADA", the innocent and simple town girl Andrea, after being honed in "Runway" magazine, finally climbed up on the same girl in the office and passed what Miranda said "all the people" They all want this kind of life", but Andrea can get away with it, in contrast, Pang Qingyun and the others are not so lucky.
Pang Qingyun first used the lives of 108 brothers, and then used the reputation of Zhao Erhu to ascend to the high position of the governor of Jiangsu. And if he wants to continue to climb high, it is impossible for Pang Qingyun to allow the existence of burdens, but Zhao Erhu's handle is really in the hands of the civil servant who controls Pang Qingyun's fate. In fact, at this time adultery has become extremely secondary, and brotherhood has reached its exhaustion. Politics is always a rational and cold-blooded thing.
However, when Pang Qingyun used up everything, his own use value was also used up. In a society that emphasizes strength, strength and status must be matched. However, it is inevitable that people will grow old and die, so they have to talk about factions and friendships. Political rationality must cooperate with emotional emotions. This is also where Pang Qingyun and Song Jiang are unwise. They started from affection and finally abandoned affection and affection with rational political minds, which made them bigger and killed them.
"The Fame" is a successful dark political fable, but not a wonderfully rambunctious story. Most of the time we are Zhao Erhu, Zhang Wenxiang/Jiang Wuyang, and we feel unhappy when we see them in distress. The shot that killed Pang Qingyun in the back is the most wonderful stroke of this dark political language, but it also makes our 100 minutes of grievance finally Buried in the heart, can not be released.
Master Wang was brooding about this last shot, so his conclusion was that it was not good-looking, and it seemed that he really understood what a play was.
