Let's discuss the "original personality" first. The original personality in a person’s heart can be discarded, and the detective can find this original personality again through related scenarios: such as Gao who is lost in the forest (the detective finds him in the forest); what is lost in the layout of the robbery (Eventually he became a child and a woman, and his original personality disappeared); and the detective's wife-Zhang Meihua.
Everyone has their own personality weaknesses in their hearts, which are similar to the seven deadly sins. The original He, his weakness character is actually a weak child, but the previous environment did not show him, the original high weakness character is the timid, greedy and enjoyable "fat boy" (positive It was this weak character that allowed him to steal money, but at that time his original personality was still there, just like the girl in the convenience store, the detective could see her original personality, and the later high, the detective could not see him at all The original personality has been abandoned). Meihua's weak character is selfishness. But in order to maintain their police career and not ruin their own future, in order to survive in this society, everyone has evolved their own "ghost" in their hearts. Gao evolved a variety of personalities to survive better: lies (to deal with cross-examination and questioning), violence (to kill the king, kill others to complicate the case), technology (to set up the spectacle and ponytail at the scene that lured He )Wait. He eventually evolved a lie, and the detective’s wife did not evolve other ghosts, but her weak personality and original personality cannot coexist (from the quarrel when we met, we can see that the two are incompatible), so she finally chose to abandon Has lost his original personality. This is quite sad. Lin Xilei said to Chen Huishan that you killed him. In fact, this is Zhang Meihua’s own voice, but she also knows that following Chen, her future will be ruined. The "selfishness" in her heart lets herself go. After Chen, I only go to Chen when I need to solve the case. It turned out that Meihua who was thinking of Chen has disappeared from Meihua's heart forever. It seems to be abandoned by the detective, and Meihua's selfish weakness has always been occupied. On the upper hand, the original Meihua seems to never be able to control it.
Chen Huishan said to the detective: "If everyone in this world has ghosts, but you don't, that's your problem!". "Selfish" puts it well, to live in this world, everyone must have a ghost, otherwise how to survive? Her inner meaning is to say, "You don't know how to hide yourself, and you don't know how to live in this society, so I left you. This is not my problem, but your problem!" This seems to touch what the movie wants to convey. That little stuff.
"Take care", Meihua changed back to her original look at this time. Did Lin Xilei tell Chen? No, did Lin Xilei tell Chen Huishan? Not even that. This is actually what Meihua said to the detective. At this moment, looking at the husband in front of her who was in love can still forgive herself, but she has become so haggard and pitiful, perhaps the original personality in her heart has suddenly taken the initiative. . But only at that moment, the reality of life made me still choose to leave behind. Is Meihua Lin Xilei or Chen Huishan behind? The answer may also be very realistic.
At the end of the film, the most exciting scene appeared. The detective talks to himself before shooting, put down the gun, otherwise you will be the same as others. The detective also said: "I am also a human being, why should there be a difference?" The director here gave the audience the final hint that the detective is also a human, and there are ghosts as well. Many people say that the detective is actually talking to himself. In fact, in the last scene, the director did not use the "detective perspective" to shoot. Gao's personality is only reflected in the glass. If the detective points the gun to Gao, use It is the "detective perspective", so the height becomes seven, so the audience can not see whether Zhang Meihua has appeared, but inferred that Zhang Meihua is present from the words of the detective. Moreover, Zhang Meihua's words were spoken through the detective's mouth. Does this remind you of a "lie" female commanding Gao to speak? This is the deepest secret of the film: Zhang Meihua's original personality has become the ghost of the detective.
Looking back on all the previous events, Meihua has always cared about and took care of the detective. When the detective used his talent, his wife accused him that no one could see and told him not to be nosy; when he took out the gun, his wife cut the meat. Does the increase in speed imply the inner activity of the detective? The detective himself wants to use his talent to do something for the society, but his ghost tells himself that no one will believe you, and you will only harm yourself by doing so. In the end, the detective confronted He Zai's car, and his wife suddenly appeared, shouting that he no longer believed you, return the gun to him and don't care about it anymore. You will be dragged down by him to death. What is a ghost? Personality created to survive in society. The ghost of the detective constantly wants him to better survive and adapt to the society, and he has to learn to refuse, escape, and cover up. But the detective finally threw away his reason, the ghost he relied on to live in this world, and finally went to death. (The original personality is right, it was the wife's abandonment that killed the detective) The
detective has never seen so many ghosts, there are seven. Gao lived really tired, stealing money, dropping guns, and killing people. All the bad things happened to him. If more ghosts do not evolve, is it possible to continue to survive and continue to be a policeman? impossible. It's not that Gao originally had seven personalities, but the environment forced Gao to give birth to ghosts one after another. In the end, He showed a weak and weak character under the fright and anxiety. This was a turning point in his life. He could not overcome his weak character. Therefore, in the following environment, in order to survive, he could only give birth to "Lies", maybe even more "violence" will be born in the future... How sad, a sunny, studious policeman, just because of his timid weakness in his heart, made a series of mistakes, "do not believe in the detective" (believe in the detective is equal to being Social exclusion), and finally set up the crime scene (in order to circumvent the lie and shirk one's own responsibility). It can also be seen that Gao is not born to be a bad person. Gao and He are both ordinary policemen, but one who enjoys and the other is timid. When the two people threw their guns, they both thought about how to cover up their mistakes. Yes, they both wanted to survive and keep their jobs and future. If you obey the ghost, you can live, and if you abandon the ghost, you can only die. This is what a bizarre murder case, and it is impossible to teach people the reason for it.
Do you remember the scene where the detective rides his wife for speed? That is the warmest scene in the movie. The wife said to Ho, thank you for looking for my husband to do something, he is really happy a lot. On the motorcycle, the two merged together. This is the director's best wish. The reason why it was not replayed at the end is because the director also knows that this is just a good wish. When the detective is recognized by the society and feels his own role in society, reality (wife) and ideal (the detective) can be so perfectly integrated. It's a pity that there is only a moment, and the previous era will never go back. In this era where ghosts can be seen everywhere, people around are full of deceit and hatred, selfish and ruthless. In such an era, there is no room for the detective to survive. How should we reflect on ourselves and our society?
Finally, I want to ask, did you abandon the original you?
