Look at him, break the cocoon into a butterfly!

In the past life, you were an ordinary but beautiful flower in the countryside in this world, right? And I am the butterfly that loves this flower alone...
what about the next life? Will you still be that flower? If so, let me be the butterfly that loves you! ...I

can't tell for what reason, but I watched the long-known "The King's Man". I have watched a lot of Korean TV dramas, but there are only a handful of movies in comparison. Moreover, after watching a lot of movies now, people will have a feeling that they don't quite understand. Suddenly, I remember a famous saying of Mr. Mi who fooled around in Chinese football for a while in 2002: "Can't you understand? That's right." I don't know if it's true, anyway, the movie is more and more difficult to figure out.
Of the few Korean movies I've seen so far, "The Empty Room" is the one that makes me feel the most, and then this "The King's Man", but I don't know why, these two dramas make me feel the most. I didn't want to and couldn't bear to watch it again, maybe the heaviness inside made me lose my courage.

To be honest, I can't fully understand this drama just by watching it once, but I think there is one thing I see very clearly, that is love. The true love between Kong Ji and his senior brother, Yanshan's infatuation with Kong Ji, and Lushui's deadly love for Yanshan. Between people, love is the most unavoidable thing, whether it is a noble king or an actor who is regarded as a lowly by the world, in front of love, there is no real nobility and lowliness.
The story is actually not complicated. To put it simply, it describes the sincere feelings and the tragic fate of the two actors who lived at the lowest level in the history of the Korean state. As a gimmicky theme, I can easily think of our "Lan Yu" and "Farewell My Concubine". What we pay most attention to in such dramas is not the masculine Hu Jun's Chen Handong in "Lan Yu" , Zhang Fengyi's Duan Xiaolou in "Farewell My Concubine", but Liu Ye's Lan Yu in "Lan Yu" and Leslie Cheung's Cheng Dieyi in "Farewell My Concubine". This "The King's Man" is also the same. This Gong Ji, who is as beautiful as a flower and innocent as a jade, is what everyone who has watched this film pays the most attention to. To be honest, in the whole process of watching the film, I couldn't ignore every detail of this child, every look in his eyes, every distressing moment...
Although several other actors have their own advantages, such as senior brothers, they show the bold and responsible courage and mind of men very vividly; for example, Yanshan, such a domineering, domineering, cruel and hard life , Wang, who bears too many shadows from his life experience, performed quite well, especially the tears he shed for the tragic death of his mother, which is still very touching; even Lu Shui and the three who sang with his senior brothers and Kong Ji were lame. A kind-hearted actor, everyone's performance is quite impressive. And here, I don't want to give them too much ink, because all this can't stop Kong Ji's charm, what kind of person is that? ! The light couldn't be concealed, so I looked at him and

turned into a butterfly... From the very beginning, he appeared on the rope that they depended on for their livelihood, wearing a pink shirt and a little pink, laughing and scolding There is a spiritual energy in the room, and it is as dynamic as water. Although at that moment, Junki's appearance still made me feel a little awkward, in the end I could tell he was a man at a glance, but fortunately, his slender eyebrows let me see the simplicity of his heart And calmly, that's just one of his professions, his profession needs it. Yes, career, it's Gong Ji's career, and it's also Jun Ki's career. When I saw an exclusive interview about him, at the beginning, he himself said that looking at his initial appearance, he was disgusting. Having said that, I can also see that he attaches great importance to his career. Even if this appearance is unacceptable, because it is a profession, he has to adapt and devote himself to it. Just for that, I accept.

Next, Kong Ji has been in a weak state. Even if he was called by the class leader to send it to the old man, when his senior brother tried to stop him, he insisted on going (it can be seen that at this time, he just hoped that his sacrifice could be exchanged for the livelihood of the entire troupe); Even if he couldn't bear the courage that came from when the class leader broke his brother's leg and hacked the class leader to death with a sickle, Kong Ji here was weak. By the small river, he looked at his blood-stained hands at a loss. This child must have been reluctant to step on an ant since he was a child, but he actually killed a person. If it was just him, he would definitely not be willing to die, but he is not, he has his senior brother, who is his everything, the courage he relies on to survive, and his god.
Until I was far away from the troupe, under the big tree, when my brother saw that he still couldn't shake off the shadow after killing the troupe master, he pretended to be a blind man and teased him. Kong Ji smiled knowingly, and I felt a little relieved for him. Watching him pretending to be a blind man and following his senior brother to and fro with me, watching him hug his senior brother like old friends, and watching him hug his senior brother for a moment with a comfortable, down-to-earth and happy appearance, I also Follow Shu Xin and become steadfast and happy; when I watch my brothers and sisters running one after the other on the grass full of flowers, I believe that Kong Ji wants to live a simple life. .

I often think, it would be great if Senior Brother hadn't brought Kong Ji into the capital! They go to another place to act for people, and then live a peaceful life, that's all, maybe they won't suffer the misfortune they encountered later. However, think about it again, in a society where people cannibalize, there will still be misfortunes in another place. Maybe this is life, Kong Ji's life...

The two people who first arrived in the capital are very excited, this is a vast world, and they can use their talents to the fullest. When the senior brother competed with the three lame actors, looking at the vigorous figure of the senior brother, Kong Ji could not hide the admiration and appreciation in his eyes, and even a trace of pride overflowed, that was his god. , belongs to him alone! When he and his senior brother easily completed the tandem jump they were good at and landed on the ground beautifully and steadily, he turned his head to look at his senior brother, and the indifferent and calm smile on his face made people feel that no matter how difficult the road ahead was , With Senior Brother here, Kong Ji doesn't care about anything.

Since it is life, it is inevitable. They were brought into the palace, and in front of the king who was afraid of being mentioned by the world, even the senior brother who had always been able to hold on to the scene was almost unable to hold on. At this crucial moment, we heard his voice, Kong Ji's voice . The natural and clean voice, although it is obviously male, reveals a coquettish charm that is neither greasy nor strange. A few ingenious lines gave Senior Brother some room to buffer, and with a light handstand, he finally made Wang laugh out loud. Let's not comment on the content of the scene they showed Wang, only Kong Ji.
We can't see the expression on his face behind the mask, but his voice didn't tremble at all. He, who had always been weak, suddenly became stronger at that moment. It is no exaggeration to describe him at that moment with all his strength. . Therefore, I absolutely do not agree with comparing Kong Ji to a woman, although he loves his senior brother, although he looks weak most of the time, he is still a man first, a man who can burst into great strength in times of crisis, Although this man is too beautiful, too beautiful.

Maybe that's why Kongji attracted the king. When he went to see Wang for the first time, he was very scared, but he was really a very smart kid, and in that uncomfortable atmosphere, he played the role of Wang in the palm of his hand. I believe that in his heart who has experienced being insulted by a man, he must be very keenly aware of the faint intentions of the king towards him. But he used his skillful performance to make Wang dare not act rashly on him for the time being. He seemed to tell Wang silently that he was just an actor and that he could perform a good-looking show professionally. I really like to see his ring finger and little finger with his hands out to assist in the performance when he is performing a palm play. The two slightly bent fingers are very flexible and perfect, just like him, part of his body is performing, while the other part has another yearning and expectation for life. I don't know if it's Junki's performance or it's unintentional, but being able to show this little detail so clearly makes me feel so strong, and I want to thank him!

After all, a child is still a child. Kong Ji still made a mistake, even a fatal mistake. It was the beautiful smile that he showed behind the screen when he was performing Dielianhua's shadow puppet. The soft light warmly reflected on his smiling face, his eyes were fixed on the flower, he must feel that he was the butterfly dancing gracefully, his brother was the flower, his nostalgia for his love, through His smile was fully conveyed by the look in his eyes. This laughter not only made us drunk and suffocated, but also made the king drunk and suffocated. Maybe at that time, Wang's heart was determined to have Kong Ji. An unintentional mistake led to the beginning of a tragic fate. My heart clenched, my good boy, doom, seemed destined to escape.

Then, Wang often went to Kong Ji, and the name Kong Ji came out of his mouth with a prefix added: "My Kong Ji." In front of Kong Ji, Wang frankly talked about his mother being poisoned by the royal family. Sad past. In front of Kong Ji, the king burst into tears, what a powerful and indomitable king he was at ordinary times! his tears! In this segment, Jun Ki's eyes and movements are all in place, and I must thank the director for giving the camera to Jun Ki's hand. A slender, whiteboard hand, hesitantly and timidly, paused for a moment in front of Wang's cheek, and then lightly dipped a drop of his tear. The camera returns to Junji's face, looking at the drunken king, looking at his tears, there is great sympathy and pity in Kongji's eyes, and Kongji's kindness, simplicity and compassionate character can be seen at a glance. He looked at the king, no, the king at this moment is no longer a king in Kong Ji's eyes, he is just a child who has lost his mother with sad memories. My heart trembled, because of the poor background of the king, even more for Kong Ji.
He could have left this non-land early with his senior brother, but he didn't, he wanted to play that play. He believed that it was the only thing he could do for the king. Although the king might cause him harm, what he missed more in Kong Ji's heart was the king's tears. That sympathy for the king made him unable to think about other things. .

"Okay, let's get out of here, but after the performance is over." Kong Ji's voice was firm and powerful, and he would always show a strong energy that his senior brothers couldn't control at a certain moment.

Bloody storm! This scene was played so that the palace was instantly filled with a strong smell of blood. Kong Ji couldn't do anything, so he could only watch. He knew that when it was time to leave, the landlord would not be able to stay any longer. However, the palace is not a place where anyone can come and go as they want. Not only could Kong Ji not be able to leave, but instead, he was covered by a royal robe.
Back at the residence, looking at his brother's indifferent eyes, listening to his hurtful words, Kong Ji's heart is splitting, he can't stop everything, he just wants to return to his heaven, and even his heaven No more room to rely on. Kong Ji's eyes began to have desperate pain, and his rigid body made him even more helpless.

Hunting should be the most thrilling scene in this play. Kong Ji has become a thorn in the eyes of the courtiers to express their anger. His eyes were full of fear as he fell off the horse, is he going to die like this? Become the real prey of the hunt? Just when he was really about to despair, he saw his God, he came to save him, he didn't give up on him, he was still by his side all the time. At this time, Kong Ji, although he was afraid, must still be happy.
In the end, it was the king who saved them and killed the man who wanted to kill Kong Ji. But when Kong Ji returned to the palace, Kong Ji, who accompanied the king to do his best again, could no longer perform, and pain and helplessness were clearly written on his face and heart. He seemed to be tightly bound in a cocoon, and he wanted to fly out, but he couldn't find an exit, and his eyes were dark...

Everyone who had seen him said that, here, Kong Ji was thoroughly insulted by Wang. . Of course, the play is not performed like this, and there is no need to perform it. It's just that Kong Ji's heavy footsteps when he returned to his residence revealed some information. He was bruised and exhausted. At this time, everyone in the troupe was about to leave him, and even his heaven was leaving. He wanted to catch him, but he couldn't. He threatened him weakly with his sword, but he couldn't stop him. When he saw his brother use his sword to chop down the rope they depended on for a living, he couldn't take it any longer. He hugged him and cried like a mess. He couldn't do anything but cry...
Doom follows the god of plague. The same happened. In the face of Lushui's slander, Kong Ji was speechless. He was so innocent that he didn't know how to defend himself. It was his God who stood up again and took over everything for him. What Kong Ji could do was to kneel in front of the king all night, begging him to spare his brother. At this time, he couldn't be strong. It wasn't because he was cowardly, but because he was alone. He could only use this way, and it was the only way he could think of.

I admire my brother's courage, knowing that he can't do it. Although he also thinks that this guy is too real, if he has a way to survive, he will save his life first, and then find a way to save Kong Ji out. But at that time, especially a man like him, he would never leave Kong Ji to live alone for a day, not to mention that he is still a loving man, his Kong Ji, he will not stay He was alone in that cold, gloomy palace, where bloody slaughter would happen at any time, even if he died, he recognized it.
After all, he can't fight the king alone, he lost his eyes. In fact, it doesn't matter to him anymore. Anyway, his heart is blind, and his eyes are more clean. It's just that he can't see the person he loves, his Kongji.

In the prison, the senior brother told the prison prisoner about his childhood. The camera showed Kong Ji from the bottom to the top, with a pale and melancholy face. He knew that his god would not escape this time. If he is gone, he will There is no longer any point in living. So Kongji chose to commit suicide. Drops of red blood seemed to flow from Kong Ji's heart. The doll on his fingers expressed his guilt to his senior brother. In the past, senior brother was always taking everything for himself, but now he uses Kong Ji as this. Take your life. Brother, Xiaoji will always follow you, stay by your side, go to heaven or hell.

The last paragraph should have the most lines of the two protagonists. When my brother staggered onto the rope for the final performance, when Kong Ji appeared with a weak body and a pale face saved by Wang Qingli, I can no longer describe how I feel. I just felt that the butterfly bound in the silkworm cocoon was struggling to break through the barrier. I seemed to hear the "hissing" sound of the silkworm cocoon bursting, excited, shocked, sad, and painful. All the emotions accompanied them and they forgot everything around them. After the mundane and danger, the sincere conversations frantically gathered to a climax. At this time, they seemed to be in a world where only they existed.

"What do you want to be in your next life? Noble?"
" No!"
"Then, do you want to be the emperor?"
"No!"..."I want to be an actor in my next life!"
"Good guy!
Have n't suffered enough in this life!?" "Otherwise you Tell me! What do you want to be in your next life?"
"Me?"..."There is no second sentence, I want to be an actor!! An actor!!!"

Tears swirled in their eyes, but their smiling faces were brighter and more cheerful than ever. At this moment, no one can stand between them anymore, and love bursts out and burns intensely at that moment. In the heart and eyes of Kong Ji at this time, the senior brother is not just a god, but the real king in his spiritual world. If it is true as those people say that he is the king's man, then he Kong Ji is the king's man. . Forever, no, forever and ever!

They jumped into the air, and the picture was frozen at this moment. I ignored senior brother and still looked at Kong Ji. At this moment, it seems that he is no longer Kong Ji, but a colorful butterfly that finally broke through the shackles of the silkworm cocoon, flying high, free and casual. Although I can't see his face, I can feel his happiness from the inside out.

As for the last bit of the film, I think it's a bit superfluous, I think the film can end with the freeze frame of the two of them taking off from the ropes. In the end, there is no need to give the public a little comfort to see them happily singing. I would rather stop like that, and then the picture will turn from white to black, the subtitles will be displayed, and the sad music will be enough to end it. . Because we all know that no matter whether they live or die, their two hearts will always be together, and that's enough.

Having written so much, I feel that it is no longer possible to separate Jun Ki and Gong Ji as accurately as in the beginning, they have quietly merged into one. I am very happy to see such a beautiful butterfly emerge from its cocoon, Gong Ji is, and Lee Jun-ki is even more so. Kong Ji broke the cocoon into a butterfly in order to stay by his brother's side forever, and Junji's breaking into a butterfly makes us believe that he will have a better future!

In the past life, you were an ordinary but beautiful flower in the countryside in this world, right? And I am the butterfly that loves this flower alone...
what about the next life? Will you still be that flower? If so, let me be the butterfly that loves you! ...

Note: Everyone said that my brother was called Changsheng, but I never found out after reading it, but I thought Changsheng was the old eunuch beside Yanshan. Therefore, in this article, I still call my senior brother a senior brother for the time being. Excuse me!
