I think.
They should all let the box office blow for a while.
Before I started pretending to be coercive, I thought I should complain. This is definitely the most unclean commercial film in the history of Chinese film, but it does not prevent it from being the most wonderful.
At the same time, this should also be the best commercial Chinese movie I've seen since 2000. Therefore, my guiding opinion is: please go to the theater to contribute to the box office for him, and make this film the best-selling film in China this year. There is no such thing as applauding such a talented director with a tough face and literary heart.
However, this is not a movie that deserves full marks in my mind, let me pick some hairs by the way.
While sitting in the theater, I watched the applauded flowers covered the big screen, and the spit-splattered bricks flying in the air. I avoid spoilers, I hope to take my independent mind to watch the work of this "recognized most talented director in China", which is also one of the few films in my mind that should be named "work". The maverick, its unique structure, and its arrogant domineering all inspire everyone to have a sense of admiration for heroes.
However, Jiang Wen's strengths have become an imperceptible weakness in this film - his indelible literary and artistic feelings. Such literary and artistic feelings have torn me apart from the black humor again and again, making my emotions unable to be so accurately invested in one point, so that when I walked out of the theater, I couldn't shout out "Absolutely" for a while. "Character. I really can't pinpoint such a film. He has two stout souls, but he seems a little tired due to excessive fighting. This inevitably leads me to compare "Bullet" with "Devil" and "The Sun".
"Devils" is such a realistic and clear work. The dark humor in it is accompanied by the fate of the little people and the ugly state of the big people. It is so vividly portrayed that there is not a trace of doubt that makes you feel disconnected from life. In "Bullet", the appearance of too many picture symbols and the hidden metaphors in the lines make "Bullet"'s most powerful black humor less than "Devil". For movies, I have always had a kind of pursuit similar to cleanliness, that is, not to express too many things. I think Jiang Wen's talent is too full, so that he can't help showing off in "Bullet". . And those symbolic and wonderful pictures make the shadow of "The Sun" appear in "Bullet", and "The Sun" is indeed a classic of Jiang Wen's literary and artistic films, but his confidence in talent made him make this film. It turned out to be a very small movie. These two unstoppable forces twisted "Bullet" into a twist of five flavors, which made me feel unpleasant when I tasted it.
You can't simply tell the soul of this movie just as you can't accurately judge whether Zhang Muzhi is good or bad.
Ge You's play and style. I won't say more, that loose hairstyle is wonderful, in the new era of the Republic of China, his hair that can be braided at any time is the best portrayal of a wall. A wonderful little man who is held by self-interest. All the liars showed their emotions just right, and eventually died in the money pile.
Chow Yun-fat's acting skills have long been consummate, a Huang Shilang who hides a knife in his smile and smiles with a venomous mask. A foolish chess piece who is at the mercy of a dead ghost, parrots tongues, and is at the mercy of others also makes people wonder whether to cry or laugh.
Only the key character of the film: Zhang Muzhi. On the contrary, there are too many things worth scrutinizing.
The first question in our minds is, is he a hero? If you look at the results, yes, he is a hero in people's hearts, taking down bullies, giving money to the poor, and taking his brothers to turn Goose City from a dangerous place to a place that at least doesn't look so dangerous anymore. place. However, you are afraid of everything, but where did all this come from? Did he come with the heart of liberating the masses? No, he robbed Dao, thinking about making money. In his mouth, he recited no robbing, and in his hand he held the titty music. For the sake of his six sons, he could take his brother to death. Even if he still remembered it in the end, he would still talk about the death of the people around him, sending Huang Shilang to his death. In order to win the battle against Huang Shilang, he sacrificed an innocent pawn. One thing, I really agree with Luo Yonghao, who has been criticized by everyone for mentioning this recently. He once mentioned that we cannot do bad things for the sake of good things. In fact, you killed a substitute for your own purpose, and Shiro killed those people to achieve the purpose of removing the county magistrate. Just like the sentence you may have heard rotten, "You can't do those bad things for a good purpose, so, won't you be just like them?"
Of course, I don't think Jiang Wen is trying to make a hero. , but most people regard him as a hero. This is definitely not a story of a heroic, wise and brave victory over a bad local tyrant and a bad gentry, and Zhang's image of winning by unscrupulous means is definitely not a hidden compliment to some people. Perhaps I prefer to understand all of this as a more profound Satire.
Think about the scene where he led everyone on stage to wave down, you laughed, what did you think of?
