film, I found that there was no scene of Jackie Chan's classic martial arts scene from beginning to end, which was obviously deliberate. No substitutes are ever used, all the dangerous scenes are done by hand, and in most of the films, he has always appeared in a sincere, kind, and honest image, which can be regarded as a true character. And audiences like the new and hate the old. Perhaps because of this, some people have long been tired of seeing Jackie Chan's image, so in "Shinjuku Incident", Jackie Chan still played a "wholeheartedly for others, even if it doesn't matter if you sacrifice yourself" Abuse good people. It's just that it's a little hard to accept that a person with such an image, a peasant background, and no martial arts skills, has accidentally become the eldest brother of a certain gang in Shinjuku.
Indeed, there are not many such idiots now, and they are even rarer in China. There are historical reasons, educational reasons, and policy reasons... Under the oppression of reality, some of them quickly or slowly become social people, that is, people who follow the game of "social rules"-weigh the real interests and measure everything, Measure friendship, love and even family. People sacrifice morality and feelings of pain in exchange for benefits, euphemistically "for real freedom, for a better life", but they don't know that in the process of struggle, with the increase of personal wealth, they will also lose some truly precious things. thing. Everything is fair.
Tietou was born in a remote rural area. From the perspective of urban Shinjuku people, he lived a poor and extremely boring and monotonous life driving a tractor, but for him at that time, he spent every day with his family, friends, and those children. It is so happy together, the simple residence, the dirty toilet, and the coarse grains without the taste of mountains and seas are all things that are used to it, not to mention that there is an "old friend" by his side.
Until one day, the girl next to him saw things like refrigerators and washing machines, and realized that the world is not only made up of farmland, loess, forests, mountains, and crowing dogs. There are many novel and interesting things in the outside world. thing. The girl said, I'm going out to work, and I'll come back to you when I earn money. The boy said, don't go, the world outside is full of feasts, and you will change when you go out. The girl firmly said no, the boy firmly said yes, and the two argued for a long time, for a long time...
It turned out that the girl was wrong, but the girl found what she had been dreaming of, and it was even better than what she had thought: villas, famous cars, expensive clothes and accessories, no need to worry about unsanitary food and water. A Japanese-style life with problems such as counterfeiting of similar products, a powerful, handsome and loving husband, and a lovely daughter. All this is like a dream, but it is an out-and-out reality.
The boy was right, he really lost the girl. In order to find his first love, he mustered up the courage to smuggle thousands of miles to Japan. Faced with a completely unfamiliar culture and language that he could not communicate with, he struggled to find the "she" in his memory while working part-time.
The reunion of the two after suffering, but it represents a new parting. The young lovers who used to love each other in the mountains have become two real adults in life. After being surprised and helpless about their respective changes, accepting them silently in just a few seconds is a mature approach, but it is also a kind of sadness, a sadness that completely buries youthful innocence and romance. It is impossible for Tietou to shout "I love you" to a girl desperately, and it is impossible to desperately go to another man for a duel. Those are romances that only belong to young people, and they are no longer young.
What can people become because of changes in the environment? A simple farmer, from the moment he smuggled to the coast of Japan and was forced to accidentally stab the Japanese police, he changed completely. And he himself knew nothing of the change. When he first arrived in Japan, he naively thought that he could live according to the previous way of life, honestly and dutifully doing things and being a person. But reality soon told him, "You can't do this". So he changed. From integrating into the life of the Chinese around him and doing some simple and glorious things, gradually earning original capital, to being forced to fight for his own interests and his partners, and then to killing people with a knife, his series of changes are so fast, But it is obviously difficult to elaborate in detail in the limited time of the film.
In the dream, he missed the dirt road, the river, the poplar trees and the tractor. When he was working hard to create a world, because he didn't know how to manage and hand over everything to others, he planted the seeds of future changes early, but he himself just "do something that he likes to do" and went to Japan with Lili. He was so happy when he was driving a tractor on the land, just like the carefree rural boy who walked side by side with the "old friend" on the ridge, laughing and slapsticking... Shang is already one of the gangsters responsible for the murder.
From being embraced to being betrayed by the people, the iron head seems to be a fate. Watching a group of Chinese people smuggling in front of me sitting in a simple Japanese-style wooden house laughing and eating dumplings, I guess the ending will be tragic, but I didn't expect it to be so tragic...
Until he sits in the position of the gang boss, he still seems to be In the dream, he often forgets that he has done things that his conscience would never agree to, and often forgets that he has personally killed people, thinking that by "abandoning the concept of regional hatred, being kind to others, not bullying your own people, everyone is not easy. , to unite" and other simple and beautiful ideas can develop well. However, people who have not received much education, do not understand people's hearts, do not know how to operate, manage, and do not know how to learn and absorb, they can rely on an honest and considerate heart to win everyone's support and conquer the world; I can't rely on this heart to sit in the world. In a bloody storm, everyone involved in this road of no return is constantly fighting, and no one can stop - some fight for themselves; some fight for brothers; some fight for family; some Fighting for ambition; someone can draw a knife to the brothers beside him for money; the boundary between good and evil is completely pale and ridiculous between those who stand and those who fall, the most sincere emotion in the world, and the most primitive The nature of the gang seems to be reflected incisively and vividly among these gangsters.
The old order is constantly being destroyed, and the new order is constantly being established. Some people are desperately trying to get ahead in this flood; Despair only waits for death to come; and some people, as real managers, silently control all this - as the old man said, "Death ん だ Human World に 価 値 は な い" / Dead people have no value, so Sanhe It will go through a series of great changes. Whether Chinese or Japanese, the young people who rushed to the front all fell down one by one, covered in blood and died meaninglessly, and the old men behind the scenes can still continue to work as always. In a comfortable and safe environment, you can enjoy high-end tea or Japanese sake brewed with clear spring water without any distractions.
As for Tietou, he has always been a "foreigner" to Japan, just like the attitude of most cities in our country towards foreigners. There are some essential things that will not change with the improvement of human quality. The aborigines in a place are very easy to hate outsiders. Many times hatred is the same as love. It does not need any reason to have unforgettable hatred. This hatred can be continuously passed on to other people and the next generation. Continue to increase, expand, until conflict, fight. All this is very scary. As an unpopular outsider, Tietou was forced to do some despised things for a living, until he committed a crime. The saddest thing is that, seeing him degenerate, almost no one sympathized with him and helped him. His friends who worked hard together betrayed him one by one. When his conscience found out, his girlfriend also left him, and the only one who did not regard him as " A low-quality outsider”, and even wanted to help him and pull him, it turned out to be the Japanese policeman who had been trying to arrest him.
This is an out-and-out international joke, but it makes people laugh at it, because you can easily imagine these two characters as rural people who work in cities in my country, and urban people who are willing to look at rural people without tinted glasses . This in itself is another urban fairy tale. But real-life fairy tales always have extremely tragic endings. As a Japanese, the policeman who humbly said "I have learned Chinese but is not good at Chinese" has always been able to understand the Chinese spoken by Tietou. The sentence "We...you don't owe everyone" was not understood. He could only ask aloud what Tietou said. Maybe he would never understand what this Chinese man said at the end of his life. As a Chinese, the iron head who came to Japan across the ocean, no matter whether he always deceived himself or finally admitted it; no matter his loyalty to his fellow villagers, his love for two women, or his conscience discovery that it was too late to regret, Neither can make up for the grievous sins he has committed. In the end, there really was no one else who could save him. For a simple rural person, that kind of death is too tragic, but for such a gangster in Shinjuku, the body floats away like garbage along the dark and dirty sewers, no one is sad and no one mourns , may be a kind of death.
I feel that the director wants to say too much in the film. Unfortunately, the length of the film is limited, and many things cannot be clearly expressed...
Coincidentally, I went to Japan not long ago. Although I don't know much about this country full of nerdy and erotic culture, I finally set foot on it. this land. As mentioned above, there are almost no counterfeit money or even fake drugs and alcohol in Japan that exchange human nature for wealth; the tap water in most places is very clean and can be directly drunk; all the service staff in the window industry are polite and always ready. Smile professionally; Strict and independent education from elementary school makes the Japanese look polite on the outside; almost never litter or make a lot of noise in public (except for some non-mainstream people); Cars absolutely obey traffic rules and rarely whistle, more often they slow down or even stop to wait for pedestrians to pass by. The Tokyo Municipal Government building is completely open, and people and tourists can go up to the 50th floor to enjoy the scenery of Tokyo at any time, unlike the Beijing Municipal Government. ... On the surface, the people of this country are of high quality and the environment is well-governed.
In Japan, from advanced technology to some small patented inventions, many things have been first applied to people's livelihood. China is far behind Japan in this alone, not to mention the differences in environment, individual and overall quality, and order. . Every bit of detail shows that Japan is prosperous, rich, and technologically advanced, but it is not the kind of paradise some people imagine.
The things hidden behind the glitz are the same everywhere— poverty :
a small two-story attic made of broken wooden boards stands quietly deep in the alley;
There are also random piles of unsorted rubbish in the place;
crime: a red light district controlled by gangsters; and on the streets of Yokohama Chinatown, the rather dazzling notice board is densely covered with wanted notices for murderers: there are those who abduct Lolita, there are Those who raped and murdered girls, as well as other murderers who absconded...
As for the yakuza, as mentioned in the film, most of the yakuza associations in Japan are legal now, and they know better how to develop for a long time. Collecting protection fees will not squeeze those small shop owners into a corner; facing ordinary people who have nothing to do with them, they will even treat them with the same respect and politeness as MPs. One feature that needs to be explained is that Japanese people are generally quiet, so in the bathhouse, the gang will accuse the Chinese of being too loud, so the owner of the humble wooden house will tear off his usual polite mask and angrily rebuke the Chinese tenant for being too loud. . There are strict departmental classifications and different divisions of labor within the gang, and there are also cumbersome gang rules to restrain the young people under them. (As a detail, the list of shops that appear on the screen when the gangs discuss the division of labor in the film are basically all shops in the pornographic service industry, which even include "EVA1 shop", "EVA2 shop" and other maid shops) So, the film The description of the Japanese underworld is quite appropriate. Those bosses open their mouths and shut their mouths to unite and attach importance to harmonious development, etc. It is not a plot fabricated by the director out of thin air. In my opinion, I prefer this depiction of the underworld who betray one by one and then die, which is much better than the kind of good brothers who glorify the underworld as a gilt-knot, at least many children after watching How many would feel that "If you go into the underworld, you will either be betrayed or you will die", which is much better than "You are so handsome and cool, I have to kill people with a knife to become the boss" after watching "Young and Dangerous". Maybe this is one of Jackie Chan's goals. Human life is not equal, but many things are actually fair in nature. To gain something, you have to give up something important in exchange. And if you are willing to give up some seemingly gorgeous things, sometimes you can really get more precious things. Many people are like Faust, making deals with the devil, or living happily or in pain, but the purpose is the same, everyone wants to pursue happiness, and has the right to pursue happiness.
There is only a simple sentence at the end of the film: "In the early 1990s, the tide of smuggling in China began. As the economy took off, it gradually slowed down after the millennium."
Japan does have a lot to learn. Through continuous learning and absorption, this country cuts a hole in the middle from a cloth that has no words but only donated by China, folds the two sides in half and puts it directly on the body and calls it a "kimono" The slave-holding country has absorbed the advanced things brought back by the envoys sent to the Tang Dynasty and the Sui Dynasty, constantly learning and self-improvement, and developed into an imperialist country that once invaded China on a large scale and occupied almost half of China; , civilized etiquette and clean environment, the world's leading capitalist countries. China is developing very fast. Although we have sacrificed a lot for the speed of economic development, China is indeed making a lot of efforts to change. Food safety, protection of citizens' basic rights, welfare benefits, living environment, corruption, money and power transactions (similar to Japan's black gold politics), etc. can not be changed overnight. It may take 50 years, 80 years, and maybe in our lifetime. Can't see. But this is not a reason for us to escape, to be depraved, and to be cowardly. The principle of being beaten for falling behind has not changed. What has changed is that from the 1980s we only knew that "foreign moons are always rounder than China's" to the 1990s, we gradually understood that we should learn why foreign moons are round and how to make China's moons more round. Also round up. In the 21st century, China has experienced many things in 2008: the ice and snow disaster at the beginning of the year, the earthquake disaster in May, the Olympic event in August, and the financial crisis that swept the world. During the disaster, China's ability to adapt to emergencies, deployment of personnel and materials, guarantee of order, health care, housing solutions, information dissemination, and response to domestic and foreign media and public opinion, has impressed advanced countries in the world. There are still many problems that are urgently waiting to be solved, but our motherland has grown a lot.
Pull away. Having said that, Jackie Chan himself refused to change his Chinese nationality, and his son also changed his American nationality, which many people envied, to Chinese nationality. From this point of view, I hope more people can see that it is not something like "only those who are rich to a certain degree can have freedom". If we just use words such as "national pride" to explain it, it is obviously too one-sided... It is something deeper and more historical, engraved in our blood, and flowing for thousands of years. Those are the most precious treasures of being a Chinese. It is also the foundation for us to make correct responses to various crises in the future and for normal development.
The Chinese who was the big brother of the Shinjuku underworld died. However, even if he is far away from the ocean, the iron head who was born in the countryside can finally return to his hometown. Just like the countless Chinese who smuggled to other countries to work, maybe everyone will gradually forget them as time goes by, but in their hometown, there may be a small grave that has been eroded by years, engraved with them. name……
