History is always strikingly similar. We like to use the past to describe the present, but we rarely learn the lessons of history, but keep repeating the mistakes of history. The reason may be that human nature is not divided into ancient and modern. The confusion and troubles faced by people in the past are essentially the same as the situation faced by people today. Therefore, when we look at many stories, we will inadvertently find that they have some kind of shadow of history. "Dragon City Years", a classic realistic gangster film, directed by To Qifeng tells the story of Ale played by Yam Dahua and Da D played by Tony Leung competing for the society's talker. The film won the 25th Hong Kong Film Awards Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Screenplay. Putting aside the gangster's coat, from the perspective of human nature alone, you will find that this is not a gangster election, but is very similar to the "Battle of Guandu" 1800 years ago. D is Yuan Shao, who was disgraced. The biggest similarity between "Dragon City Years" and "The Battle of Guandu" is the ending of the weak defeating the strong and the influence of the leader's character on this ending. War is inherently a continuation of politics and economy, and the ultimate victor is often not the strongest on the surface, but the potential who is more in line with the development needs of the times. Ale's victory over Da D and Cao Cao's victory over Yuan Shao were not based on strength, but in the emphasis on talents, self-positioning, understanding of power, and the use of money. The importance of talents: talents are still geniuses. The biggest difference between Da D and A Le lies in their attitude towards talents. A Le is like Cao Cao, who seeks and respects talents; while Da D is like Yuan Shao, who is arrogant and arrogant, thinking that he is the best. greatest genius. This is reflected in the appearance of the two of them: When Big D appeared on the scene, he went to Yutoubiao in a boat to talk about the bribery and string explosion. As a result, without warning, he forced the plane played by Zhang Jiahui to eat the spoon raw, offending him. At the same time as the plane, it also caused Yutoubiao to be dissatisfied with him, laying a hidden danger for their rebellion in the future; and Ale's appearance was completely different. He talked business with Dapu Heichi BBQ, hoping that Dabu Hei would support him. , but Tai Po Hei rejected him on the grounds that his pills were sold at Da D. Instead of being angry, Ale politely expressed his understanding and ate the chilled chicken from Tai Po Hei without hurting. The comparison at the beginning hints at the development path of the two. Da D was too self-willed, which led to the exploding subordinate Airplane, Da Po Hei's subordinate Dongguan Zai, and Longgen's subordinate Jimmy, all the talents who were originally on his side, finally all went to Ale's side. Just like in the past, Xun Yu, Guo Jia, Xu You and other Yuan Shao people all ended up in Cao Cao's place. Self-positioning: the boss or the boss How far a man can go depends largely on his position on himself. Ale has the ambition to be a king and wants to enter Tsim Sha Tsui and become the leader of the Nine Fives; while Da D only knows how to occupy the Tsuen Wan side and become the king and hegemon. The pattern of the two has been reflected in the matter of wearing a headgear: when he was taken away by the police, Ale took the initiative to ask to wear a headgear, while Big D asked not to wear a headgear. The reason is easy to understand: Ale has a very high self-position, and wants to be a leader of a society rather than a simple young and dangerous boy, so he pays great attention to his public image; while Big D said angrily when he was asked to wear a hood "What? Shameful?" This is a purely young and dangerous clamor. Only when the young and the dangerous will feel that there is nothing shameful about it when they are caught by the police, Big D always positions himself as the head of the young and the dangerous. That's it. After the two teamed up to conquer Tsim Sha Tsui, the gap became even more concrete. Big D was happy like a child, saying that this was something he never dared to think about before, while Ale smiled slightly, everything under control. Just like Yuan Shao and Cao Cao in the period of the Three Kingdoms: one of the nobles relied on the status of "four generations and three princes" and did not want to make progress and settle for the status quo; Understanding of power: The emperor's chair is still the same pursuit of power as Emperor D and Ale, but the understanding of power is completely different. In Big D's eyes, Huashiren is an imperial chair, and whoever sits on it is the leader of everyone's beliefs; while in Ale's eyes, Huashiren is the supreme imperial power, an absolute power used to arm and improve himself. Strength: At the very beginning of the film, Yutoubiao satirized Big D, "I also want to spend a million and a few hundred thousand dollars. It's more cost-effective to buy a good deal." Later, when Big D was in the detention room, he said, "I am for everyone. Well, everyone doesn't agree with me, it's boring, so we have to do our own thing." Finally, when he was fishing with Ale in the reservoir, Big D was still talking about learning from other clubs and doing a good job of doing things. From the beginning to the end, in the eyes of the big D, talking about people is an honor and a face, and everyone will call me the emperor when he sits on the emperor's chair. But Ale is much more pragmatic. Ale knows that the person who speaks is not an imperial chair but an imperial power, a kind of imperial power that can bring unlimited benefits, and this kind of power must be firmly in his own hands, so he You can share the interests with Big D, but he is absolutely not allowed to interfere in his power. Ale knows how to use power to expand his advantages, just like Cao Cao knows how to hold the emperor to command the princes, and Da D wants to create a new and joint victory just like Yuan Shao wants to establish another emperor. The use of money: all-powerful or semi-powerful Big D and Ale also have a big gap in the use of money. For Big D, money is omnipotent, so he uses money to solve everything: choose words and people When he bought 200,000 votes for each person; when he grabbed the faucet, he said he would give him any money. The extreme admiration for money makes him ignore factors other than money. The problems you can solve with money, others can also solve with money, and do better than you. On the other hand, Ale realizes the limitations of money. He realizes that money is only half-capable, so he always gives you half cash and half futures, so that you can take money comfortably and be full of hope for the future: Ale attracts people's hearts I will never forget to promise myself the benefits of being a speaker, even when I was recruiting the big D. I promised to share the benefits equally with the big D. Finally, I don’t forget to add that I will fully support you in the next session. person. Who can withstand such a leader who can cash in and draw cakes. Cao Cao used to treat his subordinates like this. On the other hand, Yuan Shao is as simple-minded as Da D, and he has a single tendon in everything. "Dragon City Years" will have a different feeling every time you watch it. When we come to discuss the election of the speaker, what are we talking about? Democracy, Liberty, Politics or Conspiracy? In fact, the simple point can be summed up in human nature, all success and failure, pros and cons, gains and losses can not get rid of human nature. Ale's success is that he knows how to use the dark science of human nature, while Da D's failure is that he is too self-willed and selfish. As for Tony Leung, he admires his acting skills when he can play Big D as a movie king. Forward-- Too capricious and selfish.
