I heard that this film was inspired by "Water Margin", but it doesn't feel like it, even the phrase "acting for the sky" is so copycat. The following is a list of my confusions.
1) One of the clues in the whole movie is that Zhao Run wants to win the inheritance of the Zhao family. In the film, Zhao Run is cruel, dark, and hates his father very much. Then the question is, why does he still send people in circles to his sister-in-law? It is enough to directly seek power and usurp the throne. If he had a conscience in his heart and could not bear to kill his father, why did he kill his own father in the end, the reason would not make sense.
2) Zhao Run wanted to kill his sister-in-law, so why didn't he find a reliable killer, but a butcher who was a condescending butcher? Zhao Run, such a shrewd person, doesn't understand the truth that the matter of safety and security cannot be handed over to passersby casually?
3) The big stone was locked in the raging fire, but he survived, only with skin injuries. Really like a child in the audience, such a bloody plot can also come out.
4) After the fire, the big stone immediately turned into a sharp brother, and went to Zhao's house to seek revenge, killing two people first, and then being beaten by Zhao Run. But the strangest thing is, why didn't Zhao Run kill him directly, he had every reason, ability, and excuse to kill him. To have to wait for the government to come, and then bring a large sum of money to bribe the government to execute the big stone, is really superfluous.
5) The strangest thing is why Zhao Run's sister-in-law is with the old monk. It is explained in the play that Zhao Run's younger brother was to celebrate the birthday of the unfortunate state in the title, and then shot to death for the thieves, so how could Zhao Run's sister-in-law go to the enemy who killed her husband? Finally, he went to the den of thieves to settle down. You don't hide in this way, do you?
6) The old monk went to look for the corpse of the boss, and was caught by Zhao Run. The strangest thing happened, and the old monk did not resist! ! Captured alive! ! In the face of the enemy's torture and extortion of confessions, the old monk embodies the true revolutionary spirit. One is not afraid of pain, and the other is not afraid of death. He is a good comrade. But the most bizarre scene happened, Zhao Run murdered in front of the monk, forcing him to reveal the location of his old nest. The monk bit his tongue first, then gave his address, and saved the life of a commoner with the lives of all the women and children in the village. It is really a good life! !
7) The strangest thing is that group of officers and soldiers, from start to finish, they are all cowards, wine bags and rice bags. However, when attacking the old nest, it was like a bloodbath. One by one, they turned into masters of the big inner circle, and they kept going forward, and their attack power broke the table. The before and after comparison is not so obvious.
8) At the end of the film, a child shot an arrow in the middle of the heart, but nothing happened. He was thrown into a prison, and even the final execution was alive and kicking. This ability to recover is too awesome.
The above are just some of the obvious problems, there are too many details to mention. . .
