Regarding police and gangster movies, in my impression, the biggest attraction in the past was the battle between justice and evil, fierce fire scenes, life-and-death pursuits hanging by a thread, tense naked fights, and finally, justice triumphed over evil and police triumphed. The gangsters, the audience let out a long sigh of relief, praised the great police, and were full of confidence that the world would eventually win peace and justice, such as Jackie Chan's "Police Story" series, and so on. However, having watched "The Wire of Fire", I have always felt for the dead bandit, and generated a lot of emotion for no reason. If I don't say it, I really feel that I can't help the huge impact such a classic has brought to me. Therefore, I decided to take some time and write down my superficial feelings.
Let’s talk about the tough guy Neil, who played by De Niro with a thin cloud of righteousness, a deep love, and a clear love and hatred. He is a well-deserved number one figure in the film. Vicente, tied for first place). Neil plays the villain, but he sings the main theme, making the audience fall in love with him uncontrollably. It is because Neil and others abide by the rules of pirates, and only do the business of robbing banks (which has nothing to do with the people who eat melons). , Never rob the house, seek wealth and kill you. As the leader of the bandit group, his first task is to be a qualified leader, lead everyone to get rich, and do their best to reduce the risk of getting rich, and this is not easy. As a Jiangyang thieves gang, they are doing a business that takes half their lives with one vote. They live a day without tomorrow. If you want everyone to follow you like a big brother, the prefix "righteousness" is important. Not to mention that in order to rescue Chris, who was injured in his leg, Neal risked his life to drag Chris into the car, sent him to a private clinic for treatment, and meticulously arranged the escape route. He took Chris’ wife because he was dissatisfied with Chris’s immaturity and gambling habits. He cheated others without seeing the hope of getting better. When Neil discovered that Neil’s big gothic character was fully revealed. He said to Chris’ wife Charlene: "Listen, you give Chris another chance if If he gets muddled again, I will pay you to find a place to live, anywhere, I can do it! But now, you have to give him another chance, clean up, and go home!" Neil’s tone is beyond doubt, There is no room for negotiation, Charlene has lost the courage to argue and resist under Neil’s strong aura, because she knows that she is facing a Niu who lives and death with her brother and cannot get a grain of sand in her eyes. Er, an African lion who is not angry and pretentious, and defends honor more than life, cannot help but bow his head.
Neil’s love is the love of a real man. It is not easy, does not flood, does not move, the still water is deep, the empty valley is far away, and it is wrapped under a hard surface. It is never easy to say, and let. The not-so-cold killer facing Renault is exactly the same. I met Yidi for the first time in a restaurant, and while speaking softly, I felt good for the pure and simple girl. But as a bandit, he has no right to love. He understands that in the end, love must be hurting each other, even a deadly weapon, because love will make people no longer determined, cold, and decisive, and all of this is right. These are the traits most needed by a bandit, and abandoning these is undoubtedly tantamount to severing one's brother and destroying one's future. Neil has been imprisoned twice, walked the rivers and lakes for many years, and he has been rushing along the path of thieves and bandits for half a lifetime. This is undoubtedly the most understandable. He once said to his companion Chris that the most important thing in our business is the most important thing. No worries, when you need to retreat, leave without hesitation within 30 seconds. At the same time, it was also confirmed most clearly in the dialogue with the opponent Vicente:
Vicente: When you see me ready to do something at you, will you leave her without hesitation (you`ll just walk out on her ?not say good-bye)? "
Neil: Yes, this is the discipline (that`s the discipline).
Vicente: Isn't it too cold?
Neil: It can only be this way (it is what it is), otherwise, we all have to change jobs.
This classic dialogue unfolds between two men with a cold and hard surface and a knight inside. The tension is infinite, and the drama is connected to the stage. It has reached the realm of things and I don’t know: I don’t know whether I am telling the truth or lies. . Can you really leave without saying goodbye, does Neil really want to understand? I want to understand it at this moment, but it may not be understood at the next moment; if the brain passes, it may not pass the heart; Neil calmly deceived himself in the turbulent entanglement. Of course, since ancient times, the heroes have known each other and Vicente may not really believe Neal's words.
The Buddha said that if there is no desire, then be strong. Neil's love and hatred are the greatest desires that a person is born with, and they are too clear, and eventually become his fatal weakness. Falling in love with Yidi has become his fate. In order to avenge his brother, he killed "Slippy" at any cost, which became another calamity for him. The two great calamities merged into one, and Neil's death was doomed. Whenever I see Neil and Yidi go to the airport by car together, only one step away from their happy life, and Neil wants to turn the car back to kill the "slippery head", I always turn off the video quickly. It was too painful to be unable to face the eventual death of Neil, leaving Yidi sitting in the car with longing and fearful faces.
Al. Ferreson played by Pacino, the language and behavior that are both evil and righteous, sometimes with crazy temperament, played all the characteristics of Vicente, made Neil, and made him a real policeman. He got divorced three times and his family life was in a mess, just because he wanted to catch the bad guys and "send them all to jail." I guess Vicente’s heart must be painful and divided, because every day he faces the poorest group of people in this society, he faces the ugliest side of human nature, and he has to deal with it because he is bored. The addict father, who cried and put his child in the microwave for barbecue, after having fun, the scum who killed the prostitute was "slippery", so he could not accompany his wife and problem daughter who needed him the most. The wife wanted to find a reason to get along with him. He broke up, went to sleep with a salesman, and the daughter brought by his wife cut her veins to commit suicide because of family problems. All of this exacerbated Vicente’s almost hysterical ill-will and hatred, and prompted him to embark on a road that he didn’t want to stop or could not stop. Because that is his belief. This belief even entered his dream state, leading him to "recently having the same dream, dreaming that I was sitting at a huge banquet. The victims of the murders I investigated were all sitting there, and they stared at me. , Staring with big black eyes, the gunshot wound on their head was bleeding out, and their bodies swelled like balloons...". His wife desperately said to him: "You screen material evidence, track your prey, search for the smell they leave behind, and then capture them. You are willing to concentrate on this. Only this is the only thing you don’t care about. Rubbish, but I don't understand, why I can't do without you", here, Vicente has no other way except silence and speechlessness. This is a pain that hits the bone marrow directly.
There is no doubt that Vicente is a hero. The hero has been passionate since ancient times. The only scene in the film that reflects Vicente’s warmth is at a family gathering of uncles of the police. Although it is only a few seconds, it shows the inner warmth of a lonely hero to the fullest: Accompanied by soft music, Vicente Dancing lightly with his wife. At that moment, there was no violent team leader chasing criminals, no wives whose love and hatred were hard to tell, and there were no wives who were lonely and lonely. There was only the lingering, whispering whispers, and the flowers blooming. , And the wanton laughter from her soul. Let's listen to his (her) love words that make Xu Zhimo forget the dust:
Vicente: I don't want to let go of you for a moment, really (I can`t keep my hands off you. That`s the truth)!
Wife: You are so wonderful about you in that bestial sort of way (That`s what`s so wonderful about you in that bestial sort of way)
Vicente: Uh, woman!
Okay, Pacino, I served you!
Well, Pacino, I also want to talk about your genius, both righteous and righteous in acting temperament. In Vicente, in order to find clues, he found the black bastard Albert for clues and shouted hysterically: "Tell me what you know! Tell me what you know", before leaving, he said softly: "You must go" and turned around. I admit that this man who is a little nervous can't help people fall in love with him.
As an excellent police and criminal film, it can be won by fighting wits and courageous plots, but it also writes about the life philosophy. Such a film is really unbearable.
"Stealing FireWire" reveals the true meaning of the most beautiful love in the human world, which is desperate and perfect, when Neil arranges Chris' travel route and persuades him to leave. The first words Chris woke up from the coma were: "Where is she, I won't go anywhere without her", because "She is my sun, without her, my world is dark." Love words in the world Is there anything more touching than this? When her wife gesticulated him to leave, Chris’ smile and despair (God-like acting), Charlene’s clarity and purity at the time, deduced the world’s most love, joy and sorrow, close. Just a few steps away, but it is already the end of the sea. Also, when Neil watched his lover sitting in the car with eyes full of longing, but in order not to implicate her, even though it was so difficult, he resolutely left.
The characters in the film quietly convey such a concept of love: when you love, you must fight yourselves; when love becomes a kind of implication and harm, then become perfect for love and let go for love. Success and breakup are often accompanied by separation and despair. However, throughout the ages, only the love of separation and despair has often become classic and immortal. The farewell of life and death under Mawei Po "turning the crest of the horse before death" has achieved the "forever forever, this hatred never ends". Recited through the ages; Jin Yuelin, the first person in Chinese philosophy, respected the choice of "a gentleman on the Liang, a beauty under the forest", and waited all his life until he died. What I say, I don't want to say, I don't want to have this kind of thing", love "is like the flower of April, everything is just right." Even the most supreme monk Yudi brother, in the daughter king, "You said that the four are empty, but you close your eyes. If you open your eyes and look at me, I don’t believe that your eyes are empty. I dare not open your eyes to look at me. What else do you say that the four are empty? Under the questioning, I began to doubt the ultimate meaning of "color is neither empty, nor color". In the end, the imperial brother rode away and looked back at the king, leaving behind the longest distance between the heavenly myths and the buddhas on earth. Time is the most beautiful love (in the end, the Tang monk actor Chi Zhongrui married into a wealthy family, which also proves that love has nothing to do with vulgarity. My Buddha has insight into all colors and emptiness, Amitabha). Throughout the ages, most of the immortal love poems left by literati and poets have been circulated for a long time because of desperate lovesickness. "The human face does not know where to go, and the peach blossoms still laugh at the spring breeze." "From then on, I have no heart to love Liang Ye, let him go down to the west tower on the bright moon", "As soon as Hou Men entered the deep as the sea, Xiao Lang was a passerby", "Qingjiang has a thousand willows, and the old Banqiao 20 years ago." Lovesickness in the world is hard, it is hard to say that the earthly parting love. I think that people who have this kind of deep love experience may better understand what it means to be reckless and perfect.
Wang Xiaobo said that his life is very long, and he wants to be with interesting people. Interesting people are first of all people with noble souls, and those with noble souls will have true love. Just like Neil and Chris, although they are bandits, this does not prevent them from being noble and interesting. Living with a boring or even disgusting person for a lifetime has condensed the 5,000-year-old patience of our Chinese nation, which is truly sad and unspeakable.
"Stealing the Line of Fire" shows us the realm that life should pursue. Relive the conversation between these two men:
Vicente: You don't want to live a normal life?
Neil: What is a normal life? Do you eat barbecue or play football?
Vicente: Yes.
Neil: Do you have such a normal life?
Vicente: I can't do other tasks, and I don't want to do it.
Neil: I don't want to either. Do you see me like a man with tattoos and robbing a small street shop?
Vicente: I don't see it.
Neil: That's right. I won't go back to prison again. I will do what I am good at, and I will definitely do it. You also do what you are good at, trying to stop people like me.
Neil and Vicente are essentially people who are unwilling to obliterate life in mediocrity and pursue the height of life, and strive to avoid falling into this world. Everything that has been happening for thousands of years is inevitably going to vulgar routines. The law, although one of them is a "bandit" and the other is a policeman, they are clearly on opposite sides, but they are perfectly unified in one trait, which verifies our great human mentor Karl. Marx's law of the unity of opposites of dialectical materialism.
Vicente's wife is obsessed with Vicente's "goodness is full of wildness", but can't tolerate his workaholic and alienation, and hesitates between choosing to leave and "why I can't live without you". The reason why it is difficult to make a decision to leave, I think, is precisely because of Vicente’s wildness. This wildness is essentially a kind of heroism, a kind of sublime free from triviality, and a kind of fanatical romance of Dionysus. It is the righteous power to destroy evil and all monsters, ghosts, and snakes. It is a trait unique to "pure men." There are only people like this in society, and they are noble. They are what Lu Xun calls "people who work hard, people who work hard, people who pray for the people, and people who sacrifice their lives for the law." They are the backbone of society. It's a bit farther, maybe it's because of the shameless villain who has seen too much in my life who is incompatible with Vicente. I see myself drifting away from the hero, which makes me especially miss the noble.
Neil chose a path of life that is either life or death, live vigorously, and die well. He is never struggling to survive and live a life. In the end, when Neil fell amidst Fresen’s gunshots, he told Frasen " I said, I will never go back to prison again," and used my last strength to shake hands with Fréson and pay tribute to his great and respectable opponent. Fresen looked at Neil, who was about to die. There was no joy, no hatred, only the sympathy between the heroes, and the unspeakable sadness. The city in the distance is lightly lit, and no one cares about the death of one person and the loneliness of the other.
From this point of view, "Stealing the Line of Fire" is a tragedy. The "big ambition" is not paid, the hero dies, and the loneliness is down and out, which makes people feel sad. However, why is it so fascinating? Zhu Guangqian, a master of aesthetics, said that tragedy is a kind of pain, disaster and sacrifice, but it does not make people feel depressed or depressed. It exposes us to the noble and solemn beauty, so it can arouse the noble and solemn feelings in our own souls. It seems to open our hearts and light a secret and sacred spark there. Lu Xun said: Tragedy is to destroy the valuable things of life for others to see. It seems that the real master is really not built, and can speak what ordinary people can't. Although "The Wire of Fire" is a tragedy, even though Neil died in the end, he left behind the faith he insisted on and the dignity he defended. As for whether he can ignite the "secret and sacred spark of the star" for you and me, it must It depends on whether you have that kind of ignition on me or not, by Fernandez and the director. At the same time, imagine that if Neil and Yidi go away safely, leaving the evil "sliphead" at large, leaving the brothers' blood feuds unreported, Neil will not get peace and happiness. Because, in that case, Neal is no longer Neal.
It seems that I shouldn't be in pain, I should have the courage to face reality, watch the show, and be a real warrior.
