In fact, the structure of the bullet fly is extremely delicate.
The echo between the beginning and the end is almost seamless.
What is the beginning?
It is a train driven by a group of horses. The strange thing is that this train also has steam. If you look closely, the steam is actually a hot pot with Chinese characteristics. This train is loaded with the corrupt and deceitful Ma Magistrate and his Tang. Master
, the accompanying music is farewell
. What is the ending?
It is still a train driven by a group of steed horses, but the people on the train have been replaced by Zhang Muzhi's men after the victory of the Russian Revolution. The
accompanying music is still a farewell
. Then this steed horse-drawn train symbolizes what the
train was originally a symbol of modern industrialization. The driving force should be a steam engine or an internal combustion engine
, but now it is pulled by a primitive horse.
Of course we know that such absurd things did happen in China, but even the Chinese steam locomotive trains of that era fully existed, and even more so. It is common (using a horse-drawn train to run on the track, which is difficult to operate in reality)
Why did Jiang Wen use this scene to be enlarged and emphasized in the movie?
The intention is obviously to imply that there are many things in China, and the external form is New, but the inner driving force is still the old
one. There is a difference between the meanings of the first and the last.
At the beginning, it means the old China. Although the monarchy was overthrown and the Republic of China was established, the inner driving force is still the one left over from the Manchu Qing Dynasty.
The implication at the end is that although the revolution was victorious and socialism was established, the final driving force was still the old capitalist set of things
. An iron-fisted revolutionary who has a deep understanding of the struggle strategy (for the success of the revolution, he borrowed the head of the innocent Huang Shilang's substitute)
Then at the end, why did the third and so on his subordinates leave him? And what about leaving only Zhang Muzhi's lonely figure?
It is very clear in the movie that when Zhang Muzhi's men board the horse-drawn train because it is not easy to follow Zhang Muzhi
, it actually means that history has entered a new cycle, and Zhang Muzhi's men have actually become new. A generation of corrupt roles such as Ma County Magistrate At the
end, why do you repeatedly emphasize that Shanghai is Pudong, and Pudong is Shanghai?
Pudong represents Shanghai, which can only be after the 1990s.
In the 1920s, it was absolutely impossible for Pudong to be confused with Shanghai.
So here Pudong actually represents Deng's line
, which means that Deng deviated from Mao. This route
is still a horse-drawn train. It is socialist in form, but it is actually capitalist
and the film has a very eye-catching sentence "The big steps are easy to pull." Egg"
should be a mockery of Deng's statement that "the pace of reform should be bigger."
In addition, there is a very abrupt plot in the film, that is, a man in his thirties actually said that he was the eight-year-old son of Ma County Mayor. It is plausible
that this should also mean something. The real intention should be to satirize the old capitalist system that has a history of hundreds of years, but insist on promoting new reforms and innovations, insisting that it is true The new system
In addition, the Hua Jie in the film should be a symbol of the people or the petty bourgeoisie. At first, inspired by the revolution, she took the initiative to join the Ma bandits (Marxist-Leninist bandits), but in the end she chose the easy way
and the third child ( The third generation?) boarded the horse-drawn train together and headed for Pudong (capitalist) In addition, the master played by Ge You in the film said that he was going to Cannes, but later ran into Zhang Muzhi, so he went to Oklahoma City
. But Cannes is actually Oklahoma City.
Cannes represents the ultimate goal (Communism) Communism
Goose represents reality, full of filth, blood, deceit, speculation, socialist revolution to be overcome through all kinds of difficulties (just like Russia in the first socialist revolution)
two Landmines, the first landmine is the Revolution of 1911 that overthrew the monarchy and established a capitalist republic. The
second landmine is a symbol of the socialist revolution
. In fact, this movie is a metaphor for not only China,
but also the situation of revolutionary movements around the world.
