From hero to anti-hero, from small person to big person

Although Jackie Chan's "Big Brother" is old enough to make him promoted to "Uncle", he can't help but call "Big Brother" affectionately every time he sees that Tang suit and a familiar smiling face. Jackie Chan is a legend of an era.

I still remember that in the late 1980s and early 1990s, when the sound and light of images were not so developed, several channels were showing those Hong Kong movies: "Double Dragon Club", "Modern Tathagata Palm", "Thousands of People", "A Chinese Ghost Story", "Wu Zhuangyuan Su Qier", "A Plan", "New Shaolin Five Ancestors". . . Children born in the 90s may not know that at that time parents strictly controlled the time we watched TV. My parents only allowed me to watch TV on weekends. But the stronger the dictatorship, the stronger the resistance. In order to watch these Hong Kong dramas, I crawled through the door, stole the keys, and while watching it, I had to hold a small electric fan to dissipate the heat of the TV-my parents learned to be smart later, and understood Touching the back of the machine with my hand and it’s still hot means that I turned off the TV before they entered the door.

What an arduous struggle between reconnaissance and counter-reconnaissance, and the devotion I have been talking about is no less than my fascination with early Hong Kong films with rough settings but full shots. At that time, I didn’t understand humor, comics, or stunts. I only knew that the sometimes clumsy and sometimes flexible big nose made people hilarious. What’s more, he picked up a small object at hand: Plates, screwdrivers, mops, bamboo poles, and ladders can all turn them into weapons, smashing the villain. Although he may be hurt more than the enemy before the enemy is brought down, the result is always—justice defeats evil, and good people defeat bad people. Ever since, I can always fall asleep with a heavy sense of satisfaction and the same heavy butt slap.

The literary young women are not made in a day, so I used to be very silly and naive to ask: Dad, is it easy to separate good people from bad people? Dad always starts to drink: You watch too many Hong Kong movies, go to sleep! Continue to mumble softly: But it's all acting like this on TV. . .

Jackie Chan is a good person, and Jackie Chan is a hero. Although he was miserable before becoming a hero, he is still a hero, an undead hero.

Before I further promoted to female literary youth, I always like to watch action movies. My signature is "movies like fast music like slow, men like handsome and women like uglier than me", please ignore the second sentence , The first half sentence can basically summarize the first half of my life. With the increasing investment in movies, the more and more fancy action design, and my tastes are getting more and more disconcerting, not only Jackie Chan is on the list to choose from, Jet Li is calm and atmospheric, Zhao Wenzhuo is handsome and elegant, and Schwarzenegger has strong muscles. Aliens even blow up the White House. What's so good about a middle-aged man who only repeats the ordinary-miserable-extraordinary? I am one of thousands of viewers who love the new and hate the old.

At the same time, I don’t have a good impression of Jackie Chan’s movies at that stage. "Who Am I", "A Good Man", and "Shanghai Noon" all make people feel that they are not Western and nondescript. The proud humor seems blunt; maybe Yankee likes comedians like the stubborn donkey in "Shrek"-at this point I still can't understand: Excuse me, what is there in "Ghost in Disguise" funny?

It seems that if you are not a hero until the Great Wall, Chinese movie stars will not be truly successful if they do not enter Hollywood. As long as they have a few famous Chinese stars, they have sharpened their heads and drilled in the American theaters. Unfortunately, few got what they wanted. Maybe Jackie Chan is the most successful one, but I feel that "Shanghai Noon" and its follow-up work, none of them is worth watching and rewatching. It's worth watching at all costs like I did when I was young, no more.

The hero is still a hero, but after going abroad, he is not satisfied with the situation, and I can't find North.

2004 "New Police Story" is like a ray of sunshine, sweeping away the mist in front of us, and the eldest brother is back again. Although this time was not only defeated, but also a disastrous defeat. The defeat was so rebellious and dignified. Looking at Jackie Chan’s movie, I only laughed, but this time I cried, because before I knew it, the hero was late and the audience grew up, looking at each other, and the passionate youth never looked back.

In "New Police Story", the eldest brother’s blind self-confidence killed his brother-like colleagues and his lover’s younger brother, causing irreparable harm to this relationship; like a guide, Nicholas Tse helped the elder brother to open his heart and rejuvenate. It turned out that he was just a gangster who pretended to be a policeman; even the culprit of all this chaos, Wu Yanzu, also had an unknown hatred, and his father was so hard-working that the children were finally distorted in their hearts. Although it's still a bit naive and a little superficial, it's finally not simple. Action movies are easy to form a certain routine, from the beginning to the end, good and evil are clearly distinguished, and the audience does not bother to watch it, but it is like puffed food.

There are always some twists and turns to get closer to real life, right? There have been the disappointment of being full of spirits and confidence but abruptly being poured cold water on, there have been bans of helplessness and helplessness, not knowing what to do, or even self-loathing, there have been the joy that the sun is shining and all things are moisturized as if they were born, and there have also been loneliness and loneliness. Silent sorrow. A hero can be strong, but it doesn’t mean that he has no pain. A small person can be ordinary, but it doesn’t mean that he has no faith. In this world, everyone is a complex complex, and absolute right and wrong do not exist. There is no absolute good or bad either. After many years, I finally realized that it is impossible for anyone to change according to my ideals, including myself, just like there is no pure hero in the world; because pureness itself does not exist.

After I was twenty, I understood a word: helpless. After "The New Police Story", Jackie Chan's movie has one more word: helpless.


Four

It's helpless to be unable to recover from a broken heart, a gambling addiction to life and hard to change is helpless, and it is also helpless to drift with the tide in troubled times. In "Little Soldier", Liang Guobing's greed for life and fear of death adds a heavy sadness to the helplessness of the petty people. The eldest brother simply became a deserter, and is no longer a mighty general. Growing a beard and wearing a ragged shirt, stalking, knelt and crying and crying, not once or twice pretending to be dead, but such a big brother makes people feel more cute than ever before. More real. Isn’t this the case for ordinary people, longing for an ordinary and prosperous life, hating years of continuous warfare, not having leisure time to pay attention to the struggle of the ruling class, and not caring how the world situation will evolve, but only caring whether the wallet is full and the boss is not in a good mood. , Now I have to add a car, house and ticket to save the world. Let’s not do it. Anyway, the sky is falling and there are big people like you. It’s okay to let you sit on the bus. It’s okay to donate some money to the disaster area, but it’s for the mother-in-law. My brother-in-law's cousin's brother-in-law's wedding package red envelopes are somewhat irrational. . . Sesame green beans are trivial, as long as you live, you have to work hard to continue to live until the day you die.

This is our life. You may complain or even have to admit that there is no special life. From the moment when you were still a small dust in the cosmos, you are doomed to die like a small dust. There is no name, no memory, no trace. .

you are nothing.

Not a boss or a subordinate, not a friend or an enemy, not a general or a soldier, not a hero or a mortal, you are yourself.

You are a small person in the world, but you are a big person in yourself. Your existence has no meaning to the Liang State, no meaning to the monarch, no meaning to the enemy, but it has great significance to the young general, and even has a great significance to the defense of the country and the reunification of the Qin State. You even indirectly affected the country. The trend of history, can you still say that your existence is meaningless?

I think you are very important.


Fifth,

I am an employee who does not want to be a boss, a wage earner who does not want to be a boss.

I really like being an ordinary person.

    Let me know the final ending. May I ask the director, is this politically correct? ?

    One star for rapeseed, wow, it's so beautiful. One star for martial arts instruction, the part where Jackie Chan and Wang Leehom were fighting, was quite funny, but not too exciting. One star is given to the theme of the movie, abandoning affection and love, and talking about "peace" and "brotherhood", and the level of thinking is obviously higher. I still have half a star for Wang Baoqiang, wow, the part where Pharaoh appeared, really broke my heart.
