If you treat "Martial Arts" as a martial arts genre, then take clothes. In fact, it is an anthropological fieldwork documentary. And it seriously embodies the structure of the legendary story. It integrates the thinking of Western ethics into the narration of the secular classics. It combines traditional Chinese medicine and modern physics. It is a bold interpretation of the reality of the patrilineal society—not impossible. The categorized things are bad. Being uncomfortable with the four disparities may instead show a sacred and inviolable barrier hidden in the hearts of commentators from all walks of life. We need a new perspective to open up our habitually biased perspective.
Whatever the movie is called, it shouldn't be called "Martial Arts". It is said that the original name is "The Conspirator", which is too straightforward and full of burdens, which is not good. And it was obvious that the name was not dug deeper into the second half of the movie. Adhering to the style of a Hong Kong movie, it is estimated that the effect of "One-Armed Dragon" or "The Guest from Fengcheng" is better than the status quo.
Don't just because Liu Jinxi has grown a face of Donnie Yen, within the first five minutes of the game, he was determined to have a peerless martial arts and a deep hatred. In the beginning, he was just a mountain villager, taking the lead in developing the rural economy and developing the indigenous papermaking industry. However, people are afraid of famous villages and are afraid of wealth, and the well-off village attracts strange uncles. Liu Jinxi saw righteousness and courage to defend his homeland, but he never wanted to be seen by a molar that fell into the medicinal liquor by the robber Xu Baijiu, a copycat Holmes. I finally discovered that this living Lei Feng with a mouthful of Colgate teeth was actually the murderer of the brutal and inhumane massacre many years ago. Xu Baijiu's sense of justice exploded, and he did not hesitate to bribe the senior officials to vowed to arrest Liu Jinxi and bring him to justice.
Some people say that the sharp turnaround in the middle of the film makes people uncomfortable. I think the first half is too entertaining. In fact, this film talks about two things throughout. One: Any behavior will leave clues, and people must pay for what they do. Two: The value of life comes from life itself.
I won't say much about Xu Baijiu's criminal investigation skills. The reasoning explanation is first-rate brain supplement skills, and his work performance is conscientious. It sweeps away the stereotype of the low efficiency of civil servants in the Chinese dynasty. However, because he suffered from the loss of a positive wife, he was bitten by a snake once, causing the poison to look at everyone in his heart like a lost one. He also split out of Voldemort's manhood. He was too rational and insisted on the law. You have to put two needles in your chest. And driven by a sense of justice, he has repeatedly done things like exposing scars, pushing people into the water, attacking bamboo beds and slashing people in the street. I feel that if Liu Jinxi were a pure man, he would have picked up a brick to be anxious with him. However, as a hidden traitor for ten years, Jin Xi has won the hearts of the people. He has given birth to a baby and entered the genealogy, as if he has become an indispensable member of the Zhuang family. His actions to Xu Baijiu's past insidious teaching fully demonstrate how hard he is to endure humiliation. The subtext is: Back then, I couldn’t help but kill people. The killer had to have professional ethics. I didn’t want to. One person makes mistakes, which means that all beings make mistakes. There are people above me... Fuck me if you want to destroy it!
But is a person who has blood on his hands really qualified to live a happy and ordinary life? Don’t those wronged souls also have a happy and ordinary life? A person who takes the lives of others, his happiness cannot be kept without cost. Undocumented crimes are also crimes. To kill the law is to find value for the deceased that cannot be buried and cannot be forgotten. However, this value can only be understood after experiencing the mundane smile. Tang Long is a killer, and the killer is ruthless and cold-blooded. He can even eat his most beloved horse. And Liu Jinxi is an individual, who will save her son's baby teeth, kneel to the elders, talk gossip at the dinner table, and love her own woman. If there were no fireworks in the past ten years, this person would not always remember the eyes of a stubborn child, or look at his son's sleeping face, crying and crying, let alone laughing with tears under the caress of those little hands. I personally think that it should be done to bring a murderer to justice, but it should not be done to kill a dad. Even Xu Baijiu could only burn a stick of incense in front of his father-in-law's spirit card. The dead will not forgive, but the living can. But for atonement, how much should one pay? How much can you pay? How much is enough?
The good times didn't last long, and the retribution was unhappy. The onlookers in the village suffered innocently in the mass incidents triggered by the boss seeking relatives in this article. He was slapped, burned in the house, and acted as a hooligan. In desperation, Liu Jinxi no longer held the Qianlong in the Yuan, um, um, he used a trick to see the dragon in the field, followed by the flying dragon in the sky, exposing that he was the long-extinct Tang Long. Although he has been a vegetarian for ten years, Wugong is still not a vegetarian. Aunt Hong, who is not old with a sword, proved with her life that "Your godmother is no longer your godmother, but my godson is still my godson." After that, the feudal parents represented the godfather. To debut. If you don't surrender like Liu Jinxi, you have to cooperate with Xu Baijiu to use the ancient Chinese traditional medicine "closing acupoints and turtle breathing technique" to pretend to be dead in order to survive.
From this moment on, we can examine the anthropological image throughout the film. The camera takes the trouble to record the long forgotten rituals of spreading grain, harvesting grain, rolling mats, antiphonal songs, weaving, changing clothes, and book genealogy. Against the backdrop of the beautiful scenery and the shadow of the sword, the pastoral pastoral farmer’s short poems are shown. temperament. Anthropology is the study of how people become humans. Rituals and customs play an important role in the process of socializing a person. Everyone can't leave his residence, the crowd, or even his memory. More importantly, we are humans, and our hearts are naturally infected by the uniform actions of the group and convinced. Secular happiness is to make you understand that you are not alone. In the calm and repeated daily life, the desire for safety and warmth that you inherited from your ancestors accumulates. Who wants to make a living all day long, and who wants to be on the guard every day so as to train himself into a golden bell, iron cloth shirt, brass toad — we will not discuss it for the time being without a son.
Past experience constitutes the core of "self", even if it is an unintentional mistake that can't be autonomous when changing things, it has to be faced again in adulthood. However, the eyes of examining the past can only belong to the present, and Liu Jinxi, who has returned from the dead, would rather break his own arm. Through the transformation and reconstruction of the body, he expresses his determination to completely break away from the past in spirit, but the form of self-mutilation is not very obvious. Sane. We can see this in the subsequent battle with the boss.
After a family ethics drama in which the dark tide surges and thrills like shining spirits, Liu Jinxi, like Yang Guo, plays a single-handed way to cheat in the rainstorm. However, the old godfather's face is thick, no pore can take advantage of it, and he constantly recalls yesterday, arrogantly sprinkling salt on Liu Jinxi's wound, whose combat effectiveness has plummeted. At this time Xu Baijiu made his debut again. Holding an oiled paper umbrella, riding a white horse, and full of ascetic temperament, the county arrested quickly, reminiscent of the non-existent knights described by Calvino. He used two needles to show us how indigenous physics can defeat the enemy and conquer the world. As a person with excess sympathy, he finally witnessed the cleansing of sin at the end of this film. He saw that the law is not the only executive agency of justice, and made a contribution to the preservation of a family’s small but fortune, thus closing it contentment. Closed his eyes.
At the end, the days continue, just like the beginning. Xu Baijiu died, but Liu Jinxi was pregnant with his wife again. To live is to live endlessly. Ruthless people will not understand that emotion is the driving force that keeps people alive. Those who are sentimental have home-cooked meals to eat, and those who are ruthless have no one to collect their corpses. This is what the so-called human world is all about.
