The plot of the film is like this: an old widow and widow who has served as a soldier and an old dog named Red depend on each other for life. His wife and children were killed more than a decade ago because of a family conflict. Only this dog and him were killed. Companion. One day the old man took the dog to the lake to fish, and the bad luck star came to his door. He ran into three small bastards. The little miscellaneous hair at the beginning was a bad material. He was holding a shotgun and used to kill deer. When he saw the old man, he wanted to rob with a gun. , Later found out that there was nothing to fish out, so furious, shot and killed the dog and then drove away. The old man naturally refused to give up. He found Xiao Mi Mao's home address through the gun shop and went to the door to ask for an explanation. The little miscellaneous Laozi is a nouveau riche who made his fortune by logistics. It is said that he bribed government officials in his early years. It is not a good thing that the upper beam is not correct and the lower beam is crooked. He even publicly protects his son and sends the old man away. The old man was still not reconciled. He complained to the police and exposed the media. They were all confused by the old messy relationship. They were all unsuccessful, and other people regarded him as a weirdo. People will be very stubborn when they are old, especially the lonely old man. The old man gets more and more angry. He asks the little miscellaneous hair and the old miscellaneous hair again and again, and beats the little miscellaneous hair down on the street. The miscellaneous hair was also unambiguous. A torch burned the grocery store opened by the old man. Now the old man has gone hairy. The dead dog’s corpse was shaved out to the miscellaneous hair’s villa to complain. In the end, the situation developed to the point where people were shot and killed. 2 dead and 1 wounded (it looks like the brother of Old Miscellaneous Hair and Little Miscellaneous Hair died), the old man was shot 1 shot in the stomach, not injured, and soon healed. Because it was Xiao Mi Mao who fired the gun first, the old man was considered a legitimate defense and was exempt from criminal responsibility. One dog's life was exchanged for two people's lives.
The main topic of this film is not a subject of revenge, but a spirit of daring to "examine an argument." This spirit is also a Western tradition. In the 18th century, the British took horse-drawn carriages. It is said that in order to figure out whether they should pay more for the carriage, they gave up the original itinerary and the coachman reasoned. Of course, this can be regarded by our "patriots" as another ironclad proof that foreigners are careful, but what does our Chinese "magnanimity", "tolerance", "tolerance" and "repaying grievances with virtue" bring? Comparing this film with the story of our Chinese teacher Lin, you can also see the different characteristics of the two civilizations.
The beginning of the story is very similar. The powerful and background "Yanai" did bad things: one was killing the old man's dependent dog, and the other was trying to dominate Lin Chong's wife. After the incident, the two protagonists have the right to choose whether to pursue it, or to pass by with a vengeance. The old American man chose the former, and Lin Chong chose the latter. Of course, the American old man didn't know Xiao Miscellaneous's background at first, but even after he understood that he was on the weak side and his relatives and friends did not support his behavior, he still did not change his mind. Lin Chong knew the background of Ya Nei from the beginning, but even when the other party made trouble repeatedly and even harmed him, with the strong support and help of a chivalrous friend like Lu Zhishen, he still did not change his mind. It can be said that different routes have reached the same goal! However, it is obvious that the old American man is very active, but Lin Chong is very passive.
Then came the climax of the story, which was also caused by a fire: Xiao Mi Mao set fire to the old man's grocery store, and Lu Qian and his group set fire to the forage yard, all wanting to kill each other. The old American man reacted with anger, but he still did not give up his good original intention of "asking for an argument." He was helpless and unreasonable and had to shoot in self-defense. As for the death, it was a fault and not subjective. Deliberate. There are a few details in this respect that are worthy of intrigue. The old man didn’t lose his mind after shooting. When the little miscellaneous fur fell to the floor and was pissed, he didn’t forget to teach him how to save himself and killed his innocent miscellaneous brother by mistake. And sad. As for Lin Chong, kicking open the temple door is a killing. The only few words to Lu Qian are, "A traitor, I have been with you since I was a child, and I have harmed me today, so why don't you do your thing! Let me take a knife." "Putting off Lu Qian's upper body clothes, he pierced his heart with a sharp knife, causing bleeding from his seven orifices. Put your heart and liver in your hands. They all kill people because they can't bear it, but the result is still different after all.
Although the Western "legal system" does not necessarily directly grant rights to the people, it can encourage the people to seek and defend their rights. Therefore, the old man is brave enough to "debate an argument"; China's "rule of law" takes a step back and denies the people. Fighting for rights only asks not to infringe on the existing welfare of the people, and even this is not in place. It is no wonder that Lin Chong can only go to Liangshan.
