We all think that we are A Xing, and Yang Chaoyue is the dumb girl. This tenderness makes us a peerless master

The film "Kung Fu" has become a classic in film history, and many professional film critics have made quite professional evaluation and analysis of it. Especially for the male protagonist A Xing, the analysis has been very thorough. So today, I will use the film review conference of Yang Chaoyue fans to talk about a certain connection and mapping between the dumb heroine who has few roles in the film and Yang Chaoyue, and how Yang Chaoyue's spirit is similar to the concept Zhou Xingchi has always expressed place.

Since mute women don't have many roles in movies, most film critics' analysis of mute women is too one-sided and symbolic. In fact, the role of a dumb girl is very vivid in my eyes. Although she didn't say a word, her experience and her pitiful eyes made people deeply immersed in it, making people really feel that if there is such a thing in the world What a wonderful woman.

In a way, we are all A-stars. When we grow up, we see the ugly truth in the world that is covered up by schools, parents, media, and books. Maybe our depravity is not so complete, but it is also more or less contaminated with the dark rules that we even get used to and enjoy. We gradually feel that this is how the world should work. Like the early Axing, we yearn for money and women, and want to join the Axe Gang. As for world peace? That is to deceive children, which fool would believe it?

Until we meet the dumb girl.

Why? Why are you still holding that childish pennies lollipop? Why do I lie to you, rob you, and you still don't hate me? do you still believe me? Why are your eyes still so clear, so clean makes people feel distressed? Why haven't you changed yet? Why are you foolishly supporting yourself? Why aren't you like the women who get their butts touched by the bosses? Wouldn't that life be more stable? Why do you still want dignity in this society? Why are you so pure? Do you know that I'm not worthy of you in a suit and a bow tie now?

Ah Xing turned from shame to anger and knocked off the lollipop given to Ah Xing by the dumb girl. After that, Ah Xing scolded the fat boy: You are really muddy and can't support the wall, go home and raise pigs! Kill you!

Those insulting the fat boy are all scolded to Ah Xing himself. A large part of netizens' malice towards Yang Chaoyue is also out of their own shame. We couldn't do the same as her, so we thought she was pretending, a white lotus flower, open in front of our eyes. But who knows, this white lotus will really bloom and survive?

The lotus flower blooms in the mud and is accustomed to seeing the ugliness of the world. It can still maintain a delicate heart. It is really rare, the true Buddha nature, and when we start to stare at this white lotus, we have an epiphany.

In fact, Zhou Xingchi is very similar to Yang Chaoyue. They have experienced many unpleasant experiences, and the family situation is not good. Zhou Xingchi is a single-parent family, and Yang Chaoyue's parents are also divorced. It is only by having this empathy experience that we can see the similarities.

Final conclusion: If "The Pianist at Sea" is about the conflict between the inherently persistent self in the context of the 19th century and the reality that is increasingly disintegrating and constantly being deconstructed, then "Kung Fu" is about the eternal struggle between good and evil, evil and evil. debate. In Stephen Chow's films, we can always find the difficult survival of the little people under the oppression of the huge social machine, and also the beliefs held by kind people in the hellish bottom society. Some people say that Stephen Chow's movies are naive. Indeed, because Stephen Chow's movies are very similar to fairy tales, the ending is always good and successful victory over evil. However, Stephen Chow's films are not lustful fantasies that completely live in an ivory tower. He was poor and embarrassed, and his childhood experience of seeing the world's scorching world and suffering from white-eyed discrimination added a touch of realism to his films. Therefore, we Only then will I feel the same, be moved over and over again, and cry.
