At the beginning of the film, the red-shirted team’s slightly funny Chinese hinted at their identities. A few of the people in the group showed no signs of turbulence when they pulled their arrows, and the blond guy they called "Luo Lang" was like a Hong Kong martial arts movie. The performance of seven in and seven out in the enemy's battlefield immediately gave this group of people a mysterious and dangerous label.
Having watched the entire film, we know that these people in red are from the Ming Dynasty, and their mission is to make an elixir for the emperor to extend his life. We also know that when they draw their arrows, they are so calm not because they have any super powers or blood inheritance limits, but because they knocked on a medicine that made people no longer feel pain.
There have been several dialogues about this medicine in the film, and each of them played an important role in advancing the development of the plot or showing the character’s personality. The
first time was the dialogue between Luo Lang and his little friend on the horse. Luo Lang said he thought The elixir of life is nothing but nonsense. Xiao Jiyou asked him if he didn’t take their (no pain) medicine for the same reason. Luo Lang admitted that the medicine was not painful but it was still useful, but he said that the reason why he didn’t take it was if It's boring after eating.
Here Luo Lang exposed his complete disbelief in the goals of his superiors, just his attitude towards completing tasks. As for the reason that it’s boring to eat, I personally think he is a master after watching the entire film. In fact, the real reason is either that he has absolute confidence in his own force and knows that no one can touch him, so pain relief is completely unnecessary, or he knows or suspects that this medicine has side effects that will affect his senses and fight. Performance. The reason will be said later. In short, the film was only taken here, and immediately took the audience's attention with a fight scene. It didn't even mention the effect of the painless medicine. It just buried it together with the undead medicine as a foreshadowing.
The next time Tusi was caught by a soldering iron, there was still no waves and even wanted to laugh, but it didn’t take long to find that he had knocked on the medicine to ignore the physical torture. Once the medicine was effective, he immediately became a grandson, even though I knew his killing. The painful performance of pigs may be due to the physical pain that had been suppressed by the drug's effects. But when I saw this scene for the first time, I couldn't help linking it to the withdrawal reaction after knocking on another drug. Here the director let us know the specific effect of the painless medicine, as well. . . side effect. At the same time, in terms of the plot, the Akaike faction's position in the entire incident was clarified.
The last time Wuming finally defeated PTSD. After killing 4 red soy sauces in a row (distressed for a second), Luo Lang saw that he was hurt and tortured, so he graciously took out the painless medicine he had not taken, and forced grammar. I don’t know how to speak Japanese about the effects of medicine and my intention to share. Wuming Shi refused, saying that the pain made him feel more alive.
Here, Luo Lang forcibly speaks Japanese. It feels like a picture is worth a thousand words. Even if Luo Lang is so powerful and able to fight against a general, he still doesn’t say a word, and even makes him feel that he doesn’t understand Japanese at all. The arrogance of the celestial people? Faced with the disdain of the five scumbags? However, in the face of Wuming, he completely threw it away just to express his meaning. This Xiang Wuming, and at the same time, clearly expressed to the audience his importance to Wuming. After Wuming Shi moved his refusal, Luo Lang was surprised at first, and then smiled and expressed his affirmation of Wuming's behavior and his appreciation of Wuming's character in funny Chinese, almost confessing. His surprise is also a particularly interesting detail. I think he probably didn’t expect at the beginning that this old driver who has been covered in scars and has seen a lot of battles had a coincidence with himself, who had no injuries, and was surprised. After that, he immediately adjusted the table of "hero cherish hero" in my heart. This detail is also the reason why I believe Luo Lang himself did not take medicine because he was worried about side effects.
Finally, please allow me to use an English word to pretend to be compelling, because I really don’t know what the corresponding Chinese should be: this painless medicine is really one of the most awesome plot devices in the movie I have ever seen. Completed:
1. Provide a scientific basis for the weird fighting and behavior patterns of the red organization
2. Promote the development of the plot
3. Set off the character and inner activities of the characters
These big projects are
awesome
