The genius shooter and this allegorical world

Jayme 2022-04-20 09:02:18

I remember when I was watching "The Blissful Jinghua" before, Mulan and Mo Chou debated at the banquet whether Qianlong's words were good or not, and what was the standard for judging good or bad. Mulan thought that the unexpected was the top grade, but now it has been forgotten. The conclusion of the debate has been discussed, but we have always been impressed by this standard, because we do pay more attention to and love things that are beyond our expectations, just like this "Genius Gunner". The harmless pictures of humans and animals, but the scenes that are not suitable for children are filmed.

The talented young girl Lynn transferred to a school her father dreamed of, met the scumbags Grace and Pat, and started her career as a shooter by fate. The opportunity to study abroad, Lynn, who wanted to bid farewell to his career as a shooter, has ushered in an opportunity to make a lot of money - cheating in the international examination room, and this time Lynn, who has strong execution, wants to invite the honest Bank to join, and this time they Will it work?

This is a movie that makes it difficult to guess the ending until the end. I admire the director's ability to tell the story of plagiarism from his student days into the atmosphere of a spy war movie. Even if some logic is sacrificed for the perfect rhythm, this is still a good movie. The film, like the high-quality standard at the beginning, has refreshed the audience's cognition time and time again. When you think he is going to talk about plagiarism, he will start with friendship. When you think friendship is interesting, he will start talking about society. When you realize the ills of society, he starts to stir up a little bit of ambiguity. When the ambiguity ends without a problem, a bigger plagiarism comes. In the tense rhythm of plagiarism, when you pay close attention to your little heart, he will let you Seeing how a cruel society has changed a simple person, and when you think that everyone is going to be completely blackened, there is another wave of reversals. Between such a violent reversal and rhythm, the director also Unconsciously, we have been instilled in us the embarrassing rules of this world. I wonder if people who read the above sentence will think that I am spoiling it? Hahaha

Given that I generally don't like spoilers in advance, this is the dividing line, because I suddenly found that if it wasn't spoilers, it would be really unpleasant.

—————————————————————————————————————————————

Lynn, as the absolute protagonist in the film, is a girl with strong execution, but sometimes extreme. Her behavior confirms the behavior of countless young people. She is indignant for collecting money from the school, and disdain for the selfishness and fraud of the tutor. , so she had to find a way to fight back, even if it was an unscrupulous way-helping a scumbag friend to cheat, and when she "opened her heart to sin" as Detective Poirot said, then it would be easy the second time. More, this is a kind of worldview that belongs to a teenager, because you are wrong, so I can also do wrong things to fight back, so what I did is not wrong, such a sense of self-righteousness is achieved when she is caught. To the extreme, the grievances and the tears on her face are so similar to us in the past, and it also makes everyone feel the same, and believes that she is justified in doing so. Facing this very smart girl, her father has nothing to do. Having lost the opportunity to go abroad, she even has to move her cheating to the international exam room, so who can make her change her mind? Of course, she will wake up only by letting her break the things she loves with her own hands-Bank's characteristics are the things she loves: integrity, simplicity, persistence, and believe that she can fight for the future with her hands. It takes a long time to calm down after watching the movie to slowly reverse the values ​​and rediscover the value of Bank. He is an absolute invisible protagonist. Because of what Lynn did, he was full of guilt. He also lost the opportunity to go abroad. He who lost the opportunity Started to cooperate with Lynn, went abroad for the first time, and began to experience the biggest gamble in his life, and when he was hit again, a boy who was once so upright, finally no longer believed in the righteousness of the world, and when he abandoned his former Self, the transformation is fast and huge, beyond recognition, such a huge change reappears in a very short period of time the pollution and plundering of a person by society, how terrible it is, when life deceives you one after another, can you still maintain your true colors? And when the person she cherished was completely defeated, Lynn finally woke up like a dream. When she copied a more miserable version of herself, she could escape, but who could save Bank? The two male and female protagonists used convincing acting skills and youthful breath to interpret a tragic and extremely true story for us. Maybe that's why this film can touch us.

The interesting thing about the film is that it is still true to flip the values ​​and look at it again. In this world without fairness, every teenager will come into contact with the truth sooner or later - the hypocritical principal collects money, but still has a high-sounding voice without any shame She blamed the student with emotion. In fact, she had already lost this qualification. The supplementary teacher told the exam papers and only wanted to make money. Students with strong family capital did not need to study, they could get more opportunities, and even mobilize social resources to destroy a person's life. The future, - this is a world where you can get something for nothing, why do we need to forge ahead and strive for it, and when the talented students Lynn and Bank used their minds to make money, there seems to be nothing wrong with it, so when we saw the end, Lynn's awakening seems to be a kind of regret, a regret left for the end of the movie, maybe the director left such an ending, one is for the need of censorship, and the other is at the edge of the cliff, reining in the reins and pulling people back to a less commanding place. People are happy and even more difficult, but in the face of the principle that must be adhered to - in the face of difficulties, obstacles and temptations, they still decide to be their own persistence.

What is right and how to understand it is up to you. In fact, in this ironic world, there is no right answer.

    In addition to the technical completeness of genre films, what is even more rare is that it has produced important things in youth films, the transformation and loss of people in one thought. Between rich and poor or smart and stupid, I found the connection point of the purpose of the exam, and my companions who came together after a win-win situation soon lost each other forever. Lin deleted the only photo with Bank, party. On Grace's tears, sadly they may never be friends again

    When I'm bored, I feel like I'm on pins and needles, and when I'm nervous, I feel like I'm cheating.
