I've been really busy recently, so I have to concentrate on watching movies, so I can only watch the two movies together on the weekend when they are released at the same time. This will inevitably lead to a centralized comparison of the two films. After thinking about it, I should take Feng first and then Chen. After all, the narrative angle of Hong Kong directors should be more objective and calm. But it's too late to regret. Ren Xianqi had a song a long time ago called "Brothers". The lyricist wrote quite wisely, "I have this life as a brother, I will miss you again in the next life." In the absence of an afterlife, it seems that the heroic spirit has not diminished, but the first half of the sentence has been prominently displayed with a clear banner. Brotherhood. After watching a lot of gangster movies and fake gangster movies, those little people are held back by something, and they think they can't be superior or inferior, and the choice they face is far from being a brotherhood or a bright future. .
Pang Qingyun, after he was given the yellow jacket and appointed as the inspector of Jiangsu Province, did not immediately give the decree, long live, long live, thank you, long live. This person's background is not purely grassroots, and he feels a little helpless to do big things. When the city of Suzhou was captured, his brothers raped the women and killed them without mercy; the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom descended on the army and annihilated them in one fell swoop, leaving no room for manoeuvre. Man's position is quite clear, but man's calculation is not as good as heaven's calculation, and in the end, he is very fateful to die under the name of "brothers who mess with brothers, they will kill them", or die under the domination of Empress Dowager Cixi and her colleagues in the officialdom. , just a few steps away from the official position.
Zhao Erhu, in the scene of watching a play with Liansheng in the teahouse after the invasion of Nanjing, the play and the actor's appearance are like the three brothers of Liu Guan, Zhang Taoyuan and Taoyuan in the Three Kingdoms. Ironically, as early as the capture of Suzhou City, there were some subtle but impossible changes between the three of them. The word "righteousness" is the leader of the grass-roots bandit, but whenever his brothers die in battle, they will pay homage to the road with peace of mind. The standard bandit who shouted "Be a bandit, we want to be the biggest!" is also a romantic in war. When he succeeded in assassinating General Huang, the defender of Suzhou City, he said "Go on the road with peace of mind" and tears from the corners of his eyes; promised the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom Army to let them live, but was ordered by Pang Qingyun to kill the entire army without leaving any survivors. The promise could not be fulfilled. Painful; later, I wanted to lead my brother away, but was finally dissuaded by Pang Qingyun and succeeded; I took the risk of the world and did not violate the private division of military pay, in order to be worthy of the brothers who died in battle and comfort the brothers who worked hard; Pang has murdered him When the ambush soldier shot an arrow outside Nanjing, he still believed in the righteousness of his brother's sworn oath when his brother accepted his name. Could it be the greatest irony.
It is worth mentioning that the voice of Andy Lau's character, the only dubbing enabled, is quite similar to his own voice, and the tension in his performance is also remarkable. People who don't know it's dubbing can't hear it at all.
Jiang Wuyang, a young man with strong vigor. Cherish the hero and the hero, the eldest brother Pang Qingyun and the second brother Zhao Erhu can almost be called admiration. From the first time Pang met him and gave him his general boots, to the robbery, the cross was found on the dead body of the army and sent to the sister-in-law of Liansheng. , to learn to intercept the army's food, Pang's "capture the thief first to capture the king" route, the Dakuzi battalion cut off the leader's head, and then went to the city of Suzhou to send the brother who raped the girl on the road, and ordered the execution of the Taiping Heavenly Kingdom. Lian Sheng and Pang Zhi were unclear, and learned that Pang wanted to get rid of Zhao Erhu and kill his sister-in-law to prevent "outsiders from chaotic brothers", but they did not know that there were more profound political reasons behind it. Pang Qingyun was assassinated on the eighth day of the fourth lunar month in the noon year of the ninth year and succeeded in assassinating him when he ascended to office on an auspicious day.
lotus. Personally, I think that Xu Jinglei's role would basically not appear if the name vote was not adapted from the historical fact of "Thorn Horse". Adding it in is also a very weak thread, so weak that it only adds a glamorous powder element to the movie, making it more commercial.
"Thorn Horse" has been listed as one of the four strange cases in the late Qing Dynasty in history. It can be said that the name vote is an anti-jianghu film, but its true flavor is far more than that.
Before the movie was released, it was rumored that Jet Li was the biggest villain. I don't know where this information was leaked. However, what is reflected is the inevitable sadness of an era and a social form. People's self-awareness is in the midst of war and official disputes, and their own destiny is driven by the general environment. Chess pieces, speaking of some fate, but not just fate. The use of the camera makes people feel dizzy, and the slow motion from time to time shows that the soundtrack is extremely sensational, especially the scene where Zhao Erhu assassinates General Huang, the general of Suzhou. The lethality of female audiences cannot be underestimated. The use of dust, tones, and light has been quite successful in depicting the era of corpses, but after all, the details are unclear, and it seems that the era is so old that there is not much information to test. A commercial film that can make the audience buy it is already a great success. Besides, from a personal standpoint, a good movie is one that makes people uncomfortable after watching it.
What makes me more curious is, if the three people who have a deep understanding of each other have an afterlife, if they can choose again, will they still accept their names and become sworn brothers. This kind of love of the rivers and lakes, which is not a small person, and the desire to climb up and the righteousness of serving the country and the people, what choices will you make?
