It is about the fragility of human ethics and the evil of politics (some people have "Jianghu", and "Jianghu" has "politics"). And this politics is the struggle and checks and balances between people after leaving beyond the value.
The whole movie is cruel and tragic.
Thinking of the old age of Mao, is there such a kind of sadness? Liu Shaoqi, Chen Yi, He Long, Peng Dehuai, up to Lin Biao, they killed and died, and Lao Mao and their former years were similar to the eldest brother, second brother, and Wuyang in "Famous Name", and they were all "brothers"? Old Mao really had a plan and could have the last laugh, but even if he didn't win, if another person was the ruler of a country, could a fight be avoided before Wang Zun was settled? Even a life-and-death struggle.
In this game, no one really wants to kill each other. However, there is such a trend in history that forces the people in the game to do some cruel things. In fact, they are also affected by their inner feelings. The persecution of desire, justice and injustice, right and wrong, can be transformed instantly.
In the past, I read Jin Yong's biography, said that he was in Hong Kong, the founding of New China, and the beginning of the Cultural Revolution, and said that the killing of the hero will happen again (to the effect), which is a literati's calm judgment on politics.
The director, Chen Kexin, originally seemed to be a director of romance films, but when he shoots war films, he seems to be able to understand the nature of human beings just as well.
What's more interesting is that Chen Kexin arranged a small prop, a small cross for "safety" in the movie, which is inconspicuous. Chen Kexin seems to want to say something, but he doesn't say anything...
