Before watching this movie, my ears were full of arrogance, everyone said so. How good Jiang Wen is is history, how awesome is the bullet is the history that is happening, history once again proves that Jiang Wen is the legend of Chinese movies, and some people even claim that the Jiang Wen Dynasty has come, these are not interesting to me, how awesome Jiang Wen is You know it, don't tell me, don't learn from others that Jiang Wen is China's "Marlon Brando", how awesome it is to let the bullets fly I didn't read it before you said it, and it didn't work. After I read it, the dust settled, yes Yes, very arrogant. Has this word been used badly? When Huang Qiusheng was interviewed some time ago, he questioned Jiang Wen's new film, saying that it must be a bad film. "Just by hearing the name, you will know how the bullets fly." Huang Qiusheng, who has a personality, made a mistake. He should never underestimate Jiang Wen, especially if he didn't watch it. Underrated before this movie.
I remember that when Jiang Wen was on "The Threesome of Qiang Qiang", he said that he wanted to make an exciting movie. It was after "The Sun Also Rises". After watching the movie that Jiang Wen spent a lot of time on, Ah Cheng said , Jiang Wen is too polite, it's all meat, really, big chunks, even if you want to eat vegetarian food. After experiencing the unsuccessful "The Sun", Jiang Wen still added these two genes to this one in an intensified manner. The first is to be energetic. We are used to the audience scolding mother after watching a domestic blockbuster, and this film has three times of applause in my limited viewing experience, which is really rare. This applause is because of Jiang Wen's black humor, I Personally, I think it's more because the film itself is energetic. Jiang Wen's own interpretation of the word "vigor" gives the impression that it is a Western movie. A group of men will not hesitate to shoot for women, wealth, territory, and power. Of course, in the end, the correct values will definitely surpass They become the most important, either love or justice. This is an old routine, but Jiang Wen can still shoot wonderfully. A few years ago, Koreans filmed a "Good Guy, Bad Guy, Weird Guy". Koreans Very honest, it imitates Hollywood Westerns exactly, although it is very well done, but after all, it is just a remake. Jiang Wen's film has that kind of energy, but there are more different things in it. Although Zhang Mazi listens to Mozart, Huang Shilang speaks English, and Ma Bond rides the train, the Chinese elements still make people clearly see that this is not imitation. but beyond. The second gene is real, Lao Luo showed his big mouth at the first time, saying that Jiang Wen "As every time, Jiang Wen's problem is not lack of talent, nor lack of strength, but too much force, should be 100% Yes, he always achieves 120% (this time many scenes are 250%)", now Lao Luo and Ah Cheng have the same evaluation of Jiang Wen's two films. As the saying goes, "too powerful" makes people uncomfortable or breathless, but for Chinese audiences, our biggest problem is not enough to eat, not enough to eat, for such a generous Jiang Wen , we had to say nothing.
I really don't want to mention the details of the movie. Those excellent humor are wonderful. It's not like Zhao Benshan put together some Internet jokes to make a Spring Festival Gala sketch. The lines and actors are good. He is very hardworking, but Jiang Wen is aiming at his box office appeal. The brothers under Zhang Mazi are also very good. Jiang Wen sees women as first-rate in kung fu. Even if his wife Zhou Yun plays an old woman in the sun, although it is not as good as Chen Chong wearing a nurse uniform Feet, but they are all heart-warming, and this movie is also very beautiful. Only in the second half, after Ge You died in the money pile, the film began to change into a "political fable". I really can't compliment the IQ of those who censored the film. From a political point of view, this film conveys The "bad thoughts" are definitely more serious than "Devils Are Coming", but they banned "Devils" and let this one pass. I believe that Jiang Wen's film is undoubtedly about money, but just like the lines in the movie, Jiang Wen wants to make money by "standing to make money", not Zhang Yimou and Chen Kaige who need to kneel, but Even in such a commercial blockbuster, Jiang Wen is still conveying his own values, the black humor of levying taxes in 2010, and the aftertaste of the Beiyang era. In Jiang Wen's own words, "the Beiyang period is very interesting, the kind of Chinese and foreign mixed, Emancipation of the mind, including the crazy excited state of people when they just got out of feudal rule. So the May 4th Movement came out during that period, and so did Lu Xun.” Especially the last part of the last blow to Huang Shilang, the man who used a gun Huang Shilang's scene where the iron gate is shot into a sieve is particularly metaphorical, and the scene where the iron gate is crushed by the people at the end can be interpreted as Jiang Wen pinning his hopes on the people, and at the same time making a mockery of the inferiority of the people, Jiang Wen dealt with it. These contradictions appear to be so skillful, not hypocritical, not blunt, and there is no lack of truth in the absurd.
Dickens' famous saying "This is the best of times, this is the worst of times" is so universal, it can still be effective in China hundreds of years later, isn't it true if you take a closer look? Our screen is filled with a lot of bad movies that people just want to refund, but at the same time we have Jiang Wen, Jia Zhangke, Ning Hao, just as our literary world has Yu Qiuyu, the judges can win the Lu Xun Literature Award, but at the same time we have Wang Shuo, Wang Xiaobo , Feng Tang, and Han Han, the vested interest who told the truth. Perhaps for such a film field, no amount of praise is given to Jiang Wen, but at the same time only one Jiang Wen or a few Jiang Wen is our sorrow.
