After watching this movie, I know that Chinese people can also make comedy, real comedy! I
have to admit that the first 2/3 of the story is very happy, like a well edited cross talk joke.
These alone are enough to be unconventional and refreshing.
But Jiang Wen is Jiang Wen and will always surprise us.
After entering the 1/3, with Hanaya Kozaburo in the opposite play, the Japanese who played the group show appeared.
Therefore, the audience will focus on how to deal with the emotions and true colors of the Japanese invaders.
"Very delicate, very real" For me, who deals with Japanese every day,
Jiang Wen's handling is very convincing, without the slightest personal preference.
Whether it was Hanaya being beaten by his fellow soldiers, or the spirit of righteousness reflected by Shuzuka when he understood the truth,
people are convinced that this is the emotional expression that Japanese soldiers should have.
These are not seen in traditional anti-Japanese films.
Adding these little people to the emotional expression of being in the group
immediately made the characters three-dimensional and the film full.
Speaking of black, the ending of the film is very unconventional, unaccustomed, and even disgusting.
The Japanese army first transported the food to the village to celebrate with the villagers.
Then they massacred all the villagers present and burned the whole village.
This scene shows the hidden character of the Japanese incisively and vividly.
This is another of Jiang Wen's brilliant points. In the past anti-Japanese films, the Japanese army was an inhuman devil,
but through this performance, the Japanese army is no longer a devil, but a scheming wolf.
This common-sense treatment is initially unreliable, but it makes sense when you think about it carefully.
However, at the same time, it highlights the ignorance and ugliness of the Chinese people.
What is kindness?
What is friendship?
What is national morality?
I think the proposition that Jiang Wen really wants to throw out is these.
In order to avenge the villagers, Ma Dasan was eventually beheaded by the Chinese.
It is these people that the so-called beasts are referring to.
The more high-sounding truths are said, the more despicable they are, and the more they want to cover up.
Morality and justice are often used as amulets by wicked people,
just as Lao Tzu said: "Saints don't die, but robbers don't stop".
What the devils do is nothing more than occupying the land of China,
but as a nation, the whole country is a whole from top to bottom.
In the face of the most basic morality, the Chinese military government at that time was full of benevolence, righteousness and morality, in
order to kill a compatriot, a compatriot who killed the Japanese.
As a slave, one's conscience has been betrayed to the master, and no matter how nice it sounds, it is hypocritical.
I have pity on those innocent people, their most insignificant humanity and humblest kindness
cannot withstand the impact of collective interests and the torture of pseudo-morality.
Even if he died arrogantly, without the memory of the times, it was all in vain.
The Chinese live for face, the Japanese live for justice.
The inclination of values leads to the distortion of human nature, and the distorted human nature leads to the nothingness of existence.
The world after death becomes colorful, better than the grayness in front of you...
