The first thing that makes me uncomfortable is Tang Wei. Her eyes are too sharp and complicated. She is very suitable to play a female spy, but such eyes are very distracting when they are placed on a village woman, especially in a small village. The satisfaction of a village woman whose supreme happiness is ignorance and stability. I would even think that she would break out and defeat the big boss in the end. Of course the scene where she catches fish in the water is really beautiful; and she's very good at expressing the shock, fear, worry, etc. when she knows her husband's identity.
The second uncomfortable place is the meal the protagonist's family eats. It was a remote village in a mountainous area. Do you know how many farmers in China in 1917 could eat white rice every day? But thinking that the director may just be expressing a simple sense of satisfaction with food and clothing, I endured it.
=================================== The
above are miscellaneous feelings. Here is the title of the movie.
Some people in this movie saw the situation in the country, some people felt that the logic was confusing, and some people were concerned about the killings in it. In fact, as far as I can see, this story is: a former executioner Tang Long betrayed the killer organization and wanted to be an ordinary good man. He went to a small mountain village under the alias Liu Jinxi, married a wife and had children, but because of an accidental incident attracted a super smart A rational police detective, the detective discovered Liu Jinxi's true identity from clues. He insisted on arresting Tang Long and brought him to justice, but he inadvertently attracted the seventy-two earth spirits that Tang Long had betrayed, and brought the whole village. disaster.
In the film, Xu Baijiu, played by Takeshi Kaneshiro, and Tang Long, played by Donnie Yen, are the two most powerful characters. The former once gave up basic sympathy and advocated legal principles because he believed in good people but suffered revenge; the latter was born in a family of murder, but because of the eyes of a child, he suddenly realized that he wanted to be an ordinary person with love.
Donnie Yen's stance on "being a good person" is very firm, even if he has to fight with his former ally, his arm is broken, and his son's life is on the line, he will not change his mind.
However, Takeshi Kaneshiro, who relies on long needles to stimulate acupoints to control toxins and compassion in his body, has been repeatedly shaken. In fact, he showed such a proposition: when kindness makes people vulnerable and repeatedly hurt, is it necessary to remain kind? Seventy-two Disha resolutely went to the opposite side of human nature because of the extermination of the tribe; Xu Baijiu suppressed his sympathy because he was deceived; many people stopped helping the fallen people on the streets because of the Nanjing Pengyu case...
"Wu" represents strength. Yan Dongsheng used "wu" to satisfy his desire for wealth, 72 Disha used "wu" to retaliate against the society, Xu Baijiu used "wu" to try to maintain legal principles; Liu Jinxi used "wu" to protect himself and his family. The weight of "wu" in the movie is undoubtedly very sufficient. All kinds of fists, all kinds of palms, all kinds of legs, all kinds of knives, all kinds of swords and all kinds of needles are full of strength and exciting
. What about the part? Hemp rope's film review can best express my feelings - "Martial Arts": martial arts in hand, chivalry in mind. What is "xia"? In my understanding, "xia" is a kind of wandering outside the system, special The spirit of being independent and upholding strength and righteousness. Whether Ban Gu's "Han Shu. The Ranger's Biography" or Sima Qian's "Historical Records. The Ranger's Biography", they all highlight the detachment of the group of people, rebelliousness, and arrogance. Li Bai, a poet who is famous for his poetry, has the character of being a chivalrous man. He is eager to help others, benevolent, and travels the world with a sword, and draws a sword to help when he sees injustice.
It can be said that "chivalry" is related to "meaning" The word "righteousness" is inseparable. "Yi" refers to the use of motives and actions. A chivalrous person attaches great importance to friendship and righteousness, and does not hesitate to cut a knife for his friends, but his judgment on things is mostly based on his own likes and dislikes, so he does not pay attention to his own life. At the same time, they often ignore the right of others to live. On the one hand, they are bloody, heroic, and righteous, but at the same time, they lack rationality, are arbitrary, impulsive, and act recklessly.
On this basis, different chivalrous people have different understandings of "righteousness". It is righteousness to sacrifice oneself for others, righteousness to give up the small for the great, righteousness to sacrifice one's life to serve the country, and righteousness to sacrifice oneself for the law. In the position of the Seventy-two Dishas, they want to avenge the genocide of their family, take hatred as their spiritual support, and do not marry a wife or have children. It is a kind of righteousness to kill people like hemp. In Liu Jinxi's view, that is, Tang Long, it is a kind of righteousness to respect life and attach importance to the right to life of others; in Xu Baijiu's view, it is also a kind of righteousness to act in accordance with the law and enforce the law strictly. That is to say, all three of them embody the characteristics of "Xia". The end of the last three can be regarded as seeking benevolence.
At the end of the film, Xu Baijiu's "rational clone" shed tears to his dying self. Does this mean that rationality has lost to sensibility? It is not so much that Xu Baijiu rescued Tang Long because he wanted to bring Tang Long to justice, but the kindness in his body made him willing to take risks. He finally returned to his compassionate and sympathetic self, which made Xu Baijiu's "Xia" more fuller than the other two.
