After a long time, I re-watched "Heroes of Heroes", and with the background of the dispute over the Diaoyu Islands, I had a lot of new feelings compared to watching the movie when I was a child.
The movie is too familiar to need more words. Mr. Fumio Funakoshi should be the true martial artist in Japan. In the competition with Chen Zhen, what he said also became the classic lines of the movie. In the game of chess with the translator, Mr. Watanabe said that he did not want to be a pawn of the military. Watanabe is a very smart person, in comparison, Akutagawa seems to be too simple to lose his life. When he found out that he was better than Huo Yuanjia because Huo Yuanjia was poisoned, Akutagawa was very angry, thinking that it was insulting to Wude. Akutagawa was a very straightforward person, but he did not see that he was just a pawn.
Cai Shaofen was really beautiful when she was young. There are only a few scenes in Xiaohong, which is amazing enough, and the voice actor who dubs her is Bi Lian in "The Legend of the New White Lady". Xiaohong was born in a brothel, but was redeemed and brought back to Jingwumen. In contrast, Photon is not accepted because it is Japanese. When Chen Zhen was kicked out of Jingwumen because of Photon, there was a detail. When the two walked out of Jingwumen, Photon still did not forget to say goodbye to everyone. Photon is polite and maintains his upbringing when faced with unfair treatment.
The disagreement between Chen Zhen and Huo Tingen actually means a little bit of merit. This scene is very familiar. In "The Great Emperor of Han Wu", everyone in Xiliuying shouted for General Zhou Yafu, but no one noticed His Royal Highness. It seems that the workplace says so, you can't let the leader know that you are smarter than him. Leaders are also afraid that the tail will be too big. After Chen Zhen came back from Japan, a large group of junior brothers surrounded him. Huo Tingen's loss is also human, after all, he is the owner of Jingwumen.
About the bribed Jingwumen traitor. The cook who was cooking because his son was in a lawsuit, and in order to save his son's life, was in trouble with the traitor and poisoned the food. Remember Carnegie's words, everyone has weaknesses. It's okay to have weaknesses, the scary thing is that weaknesses are exploited. Later, the cook was strangled by a traitor and pretended to be suicide. As a digression, in the post "Listen, the corpse is talking", the forensic doctor explained that this method of killing was actually misleading by the film and television drama. After strangling a person and then pretending to hang himself to death, it is easy to find out whether it is suicide or homicide due to the different points of force and different scars. But at that time, it was also possible to get away with it. Closer to home, that is, the sellers seeking glory have never had good fruit to eat. Not even if you surrender. Think of Li Zongren, who will settle accounts together after the autumn. You must be careful when leading snakes out of their holes, the book of soldiers says, soldiers never tire of deceit. In the old days, it was said that a good woman does not serve two husbands, but today it seems to have some truth. Follow the good people, go to the Virgin, follow the bad people, and go all the way to the dark.
Suddenly, we discovered that our novels and movies, especially those of martial arts, are almost all about revenge. The hatred of the father, the hatred of the son, the hatred of the whole family... Too much hatred, especially narrow nationalism. It's like "it would be better for the mainland to be full of graves than to recover the Diaoyu Islands". In Chen Zhen's era, it was understandable that all Japanese were ostracized. Why is it still like this now, almost a hundred years later (calculated from the death of Huo Yuanjia)?
I have a friend who is always ahead of the curve. When people were indifferent to resist the Japanese, he remembered the September 18th and the July 7th Incident. As people chanted "Down with Japan," he said, it didn't make sense. Perhaps, the truth is indeed in the hands of a few people, and most people can't see it clearly, so they can only follow the mainstream.
This is about the first time I've watched "Fighting Heroes" again in years. I am also changing.
