The film was released in 1965, four years ago in 61 years, the third Berlin crisis, the next year was the Caribbean artillery crisis. The two gangs are fighting with each other, and they are approaching the critical point.
This year, the fourth 007 film was filmed.
I agree with the opinion that this chilling film is working against fellow Bonds. A line from classmate Richard Burton in the film can be used to reveal the prototype of the gentleman who went to the mountains and the sea to kill, set fire, hunt, and throw hats: the trick of being bullied at home by others.
As far as the plot is concerned, relatives who have watched "The Witness for the Prosecution" (Charles Laughton + Marlene Dietrich, 1957) will find it familiar, and borrow a very refined comment from a senior bean friend: It seems to be infected with the virus deliberately, It's actually patching.
However, the two films with similar plots are quite different when the stories are considered in the context of their times. "The Informer Comes In For Warmth" fills the sky like a haze and refuses to disperse, while "The Witness for the Prosecution" is still a little fresh in essence.
The following few thousand words are my personal understanding of the entire film, just for everyone to laugh at. In view of the cumbersome names of foreigners, and I borrowed some characters from "The Swordsman" to refer to, this article is purely a joke, please do not take your seat.

The story takes place during the confrontation between the Five Sacred Sword Sect and the Sun and Moon Sect (to avoid misunderstanding, the Heimuya will be referred to below), which lasted for about 40 years in history. The leader of the Wuyue Sword Sect is naturally Zuo Lengchan, but there is a huge pond between the foundation of the Songshan Sect and Heimuya, so sometimes it is necessary to help other sword sects—for example, the Huashan Sect, which has been declining day by day. The place where the story begins and ends is in Songlin Village. This village originally belonged to a gang called the Wanzi Gang. Because it was too unreasonable, it was destroyed by the Wuyue Sword Sect and Heimiya, but the two gangs turned their faces and divided Songlin Village. For two, each on one side. A wall was built in the middle of the village as a symbol of the long-term struggle between the two sides. The two guards in Dongsonglin are Yang Lianting and Xiang Wentian; in Xisonglin, Linghu Chong of the Huashan faction is in charge of spying on the wind in the east.
At the beginning of the film, on a drizzly cold night, Linghu, who had been wandering for a long time at the junction of the east and west pine forests, witnessed the bad news: Lu Dayou, the last important informant he contacted in the east of the village, was shot by Yang Lianting's men. He was beaten into a sieve, so that Linghu became a bare team leader, and was called back to Huashan by Yue Buqun in disgrace. Yue Buqun said that he had planned a countermeasure for his teacher, and he could borrow Xiang Wentian's knife to get rid of that Yang Lianting (the two had a relationship: Xiang Wentian's ancestor was a business genius, and he offended the Wanzi Gang. He was killed, and Yang Lianting was a member of the 4D gang when he was young). However, you are only afraid that you will inevitably suffer some grievances.
So classmate Linghu began to roam the boundaries of Huashan, doing everything he could to do: buy groceries but ask for credit, and buy only half a bottle of turbid wine. Perhaps spurred by poor quality alcohol, or perhaps a typical Irish impulse, he beat up the grocer's owner and squatted in the shift room for it. Fortunately, there was a girl waiting outside on the day he was released from prison—although it was not a deep love, at least they could depend on each other for life. Her name is Ren Lingshan. She was originally an audience of Heimuya. She has participated in some activities aimed at promoting harmony among various sects and reducing the proliferation of hot weapons on the rivers and lakes. However, she is not strictly a Jianghu person. The simple and kind-hearted poor girl who sorted out the catalog in the library,
the news that Linghu Chong fell out of favor in Huashan quickly caught the attention of Heimuya. After going back and forth, wanting to refuse and welcome, the two sides logically hit the ground running. Linghu immediately reported the situation to Yue Buqun, listened to the teacher's order (Location: the residence of Laudno, Commissioner of the Neighborhood Department in Chelsea District), and bid farewell to Ren Lingshan, who was living a miserable life in a single apartment. The informant sneaked across the Sanmen Strait and came to Helan Town, which is rich in tulips and wooden shoes.
The special envoy sent by Heimuya was already waiting for him at a certain seaside villa. Linghu took advantage of the situation and sold him a set of rhetoric prepared in advance: the Huashan faction was ruthless and ignorant. I would like to give a star and a half of what I know, just in exchange for a little silver to drink.
The puzzle pieces provided by Linghu are roughly as follows: Before and after he took office as the team leader of the Xisonglin Tingfeng Group, A Chong worked in Xiyue Bank, and used a pseudonym to dedicate funds to Huashan School's eyeliners stationed in various places. Of course, A Chong didn't know the real name of the other party, but in the affairs he handled, there was one item that was a little special: the number was huge, the dates were regular, the accounts belonged to Copenhagen and Helsinki, and Yue Buqun also specially designed it for him. Named "Rolling Stone". Linghu Chong once collected silver taels in Bank A in Copenhagen in the name of "Dugu Chong", and opened a joint account in Bank B in the name of "Sima Chong". The other holder of the account was named "Yang Lianting".
According to the original plan, what should be said ends here. As for how to assemble these puzzles, it has nothing to do with Linghu Chong. The next step is to take the money and go home. Unexpectedly, there were unforeseen circumstances, and the messenger sent a copy of "Xiyue Di Bao", which said that Linghu conflict had evaporated suddenly, and now the whole Huashan Mountain is searching for this person. This sap smashed Linghu's eyes into sparks: to actually stab him in the back, this is too unkind. It stands to reason that the two gangs have been fighting for these years, and neither of them is a teenager. , How can there be a practice of directly cutting off the other party's retreat after the first delivery?
Looking at the turbulent sea, Linghu Chong's veins were about to burst out: he was like a pawn who was pushed across the strait, afraid that he would never go back.

All the way to the east, Linghu Chong and Heimiya's special envoy, Mu Niu Liuma, drove into a camp on the outskirts of Dongsonglin, and asked Wentian to see him.
Xiang Wentian seemed to be a shrewd and capable leader, and he simply characterized the clues provided by Linghu Chong as "leftovers"; Classmate Xiang also seemed to be a person with a stable position, and he was quite disdainful of Classmate Linghu's mercenary behavior— - You are a scumbag, and you are not qualified to bargain with me; Mr. Xiang may still be a buddy who talks about the morality of the rivers and lakes. Although his heart is a little hard and his methods are a little ruthless, he is finally trustworthy- Spreading news in Huashan will cut you off The people behind are not even.
More importantly, Xiang Wentian may have put faith in a relatively high position. For example, he repeatedly questioned Linghu Chong’s motives for choosing this path: he didn’t believe in Santa Claus, ghosts and gods, or the determinism of production relations. You don’t believe in anything, how can you sleep at night? Although most of the ordinary people in the land of the Five Sacred Mountains are free and unrestrained, with low taste and vulgar style, a master like you who has his head on his trousers must have a reliable creed, right? Is it really as you say that ignorance and fearlessness are the ultimate forces driving society forward?
From this point of view, Xiang Wentian's paranoia on Yang Lianting's question does not seem to be entirely out of personal grudges.
Philosophical discussions aside. In order to verify the authenticity of these scraps, Xiang Wentian asked Linghu Chong to send letters to the bank in Copenhagen Village and Helsinki Tunnel respectively, asking about the latest withdrawal from the joint account. The Copenhagen Bank quickly responded: a decisive withdrawal date coincided with Yang Lianting's business trip in Denmark Town. If it wasn't that the blind cat met the dead mouse, it was Huashan who knew everything about Yang Lianting like the back of the back. If it is neither, there is only one explanation left: Yang Lianting is from Huashan.
Seeing that Xiang Wentian finally took the bait, Linghu Chong admired from the bottom of his heart the ability of his brothers and sisters to tell lies. An important informant in East Pine Forest? Just think about it, how is this possible? How could things be like this? You don't really think things might actually be like this, do you?
Things seem to be a little successful, at least Xiang Wentian has fallen deeply into it.

But there is one thing, in this world, few people can accurately grasp the temper and direction of the wind. Filled with excitement, Xiang Wentian brought Linghu Chong back to the camp. As soon as he got off the wooden cow and the horse, he was buttoned up by a few gray trench coats—Yang Lianting shot first.
Linghu Chong wasn't so lucky this time, and a meal of flesh and blood was inevitable. The two guards dragged him to see Yang Lianting.
Yang Lianting is a stern person. At first glance, he looks like the kind of insidious guy, and the question he asks is also unclear: Do you know a person named Laudno? When was the last time you saw him? Have you ever been to Laudnor's home in Chelsea?
Linghu Chong felt bad, but he could only lie to the end: I have only heard of this person, never seen him.
At this moment, Xiang Wentian broke in with a special envoy in a gray coat—the human connections in the world, until the end, no one knows the depth. There was also someone covering Xiang Wentian's head.
The two sides insisted on their own words, and it was difficult to distinguish the truth from the false. In the end, they had to bother a few elders to go out and get three tribunals to decide life and death.
Xiang Wentian took the lead as the prosecution, throwing out a lot of doubts like a rocket launcher, proving that the other party was actually a thief: 1) Yang Lianting would draw a gun at every turn when he was investigating the ghosts, completely ignoring industry conventions - answering questions takes precedence over Murder and set fire; 2) When Yang Lianting visited Huashan that year, he was arrested by Huashan’s entire city for assassinating the boy Baixiong, and eventually he would take the Kongming lantern to escape the danger, which is really suspicious; 3) The Lu Dayou who was cleared last time, from A small foreign leader was promoted all the way to the post of guardian, and the one who supported him the most along the way and cared for him the most was not the other person, but the one sitting in the dock—Yang Lianting.
If the above is just guesswork and not a piece of evidence, I would like to thank God for sending a suitable witness at the right moment: Linghu Chong of the Huashan faction. The materials he provided, plus his own testimony, were enough to knock the last nail into Yang Lianting's coffin.
Classmate Linghu, who was sitting on the witness stand, understood his actual value: Dareqing, he didn't come to give leftovers. In the long puzzle piece that Xiang Wentian has been thinking about for a long time, he is the last and most important piece of the puzzle.

All the unfavorable evidence points to Yang Lianting. This guy looks destined to be a victim of Yue Buqun's chessboard if no miracles happen.
The miracle actually happened.
Yang Lianting is indeed a character. He calmly listened to all Xiang Wentian's accusations and did not make any excuses for himself - he asked his lawyer to answer.
The lawyer’s words were extraordinary, and as soon as he came up, he gave the bottom of Linghu’s true intentions: this was a trick of the Huashan faction to kill with a knife, Xiang Wentian was avenging private revenge on the public side, and Linghu Chong’s testimony and evidence were not credible. .
As for the defendant's evidence, please call witnesses: Huashan residents, Heimiya audience, and librarian Ren Lingshan.
For Linghu Chong, the appearance of Ren Lingshan was like a bolt from the blue: he was not afraid of death, but once he had her by his side, he could not die. In a sense, he was deprived of choice.
Ren Lingshan was tricked into coming to the East Pine Forest. Two explanations can be expected for her testimony in front of the three elders: either she is the best actress in the Golden Globe Academy Award, the Golden Globe Award, or she is telling the truth.
Lawyer: You work in the library, your income is meager, how much can you save?
Shan: 11 passes.
Lawyer: How much is the rent for the apartment you live in?
Shan: 3 passes and 100 essays.
Lawyer: Heimuya has been following you from the eyes and ears of Mount Huashan for some time. Why don't you pay rent?
Shan (overwhelmed): Because a charitable organization bought this suite for me to live in through Xiyue Bank.
Lawyer (contemptuous): A pie falls from the sky, you pick it up and eat it without even looking at it?
Shan (difficult to explain): I thought it was given to me by Linghu Chong...
Lawyer (pressing step by step): Linghu Chong is so poor, how can he afford a house?
Shan (hesitating): The person who came said he was a friend of Linghu Chong...
Lawyer (chasing after him fiercely): Did that person have a big beard and wear bottle-bottom glasses? What did he say his name was?
Shan: He only gave a business card...
Attorney: It's not always a blank business card, right? what is his name!
Shan: ...Laudno.
Agatha Christie-style Jedi counterattack.

At this moment, the chessboard facing Linghu, who had been sitting at the bottom and listening, became very delicate. He must accurately judge the layout of the entire picture scroll and quickly formulate corresponding countermeasures.
I personally think that Linghu Chong has actually seen the ins and outs of the matter: Yang Lianting is connected to Mount Hua, and the real target of this mission is Xiang Wentian (although in a later scene, Linghu behaves when Yang Lianting reveals his identity. I was a little surprised, but I thought it was just taking care of the audience's emotions - black coffee with a candy bar). The most crucial clue is: when Linghu Chong reported the situation to Yue Buqun at Laudno's residence in Chelsea, the master once asked his apprentice: "Do you need us to do something for your girlfriend during the days you left? Linghu Chong replied: "No need to do anything. Just don't get her involved." Yue Buqun nodded and said softly, "Indeed. Right now, it's better to be cautious in everything." In a nutshell, even if Ren Lingshan beat up the boss and scolded the landlord and was hunted down by Scotland Yard, Yue Buqun had to instruct his men to help out, and he should have used a pseudonym. , I didn't expect Heimuya's eyes and ears to be so well-informed in Huashan, but Linghu Chong knew that this is what he did in Xiyue Qianzhuang before: it is impossible for the brothers in the gang to do things like this.
So the conclusion is: the one who set fire to the bridge immediately after Linghu Chong crossed the river was actually his master; the one who packed up Linghu Chong's clues and threw them to Heimuya was actually his master; Ren Lingshan's appearance in Dongsong Forest was apparently black. What Mu Ya did, it was his master who was behind him. The reason why Yue Buqun did this can only be understood as a reverse operation: Xiang Wentian’s investigation is close to 80% of the truth, so let Linghu rush over to push the truth to 90%, and then use Ren Lingshan’s testimony to smash Linghu Chong’s evidence to shreds. People will turn around and embrace the lie. As for why he didn't tell the truth to his apprentice, maybe it was because the master was worried that he knew too much about acting badly, or maybe it was because the master suspected that he had nothing to do with the team's annihilation. However, it is no longer important to trace the origin, because at the level of fact, he is already an abandoned child on the cliff.
The clever thing about Ren Lingshan's move is that it fundamentally cuts off the possibility of Linghu Chong's falsehood and fleeing to Heimuya - realizing that being stabbed in the back by his own people, no matter how loyal people are, they will flash the idea of ​​going to Liangshan. But Linghu Chong won't, because he can't bite his girlfriend back. No matter how much Ren Lingshan sees, thinks, or realizes, staying in the East Pine Forest will only lead to bad luck - she must be brought back to Huashan.
So Linghu Chong stood up resolutely and took the initiative to break the news: the defense attorney was right, and the evidence that he even provided was fake.
Personally, I thought that Linghu's bet was done after consideration—the situation had indeed been reversed, but it was only three to seven, and Xiang Wentian's side was not exhausted, and it had not yet reached the point of breaking the pot. In other words, Linghu Chong chose to hand over the hammer to Yang Lianting (Brother Chong wanted to blow this product with a single shot) and let him strike a nail on Xiang Wentian’s coffin. He was indeed completing the task, but it was also a transaction at the same time: The two of them go back to Huashan.
From Yang Lianting's point of view, this counter-attack was a good fight, but for Linghu Chong and Ren Lingshan, there is still a work to do in the aftermath - this is not because of how prominent they are, since Yue Buqun asked them to come over, it is clear Don't care about these two lives - but these two people really know too much. There are three options: 1) imprisoned; 2) silenced; 3) released. One is the most inadvisable because there are many dreams at night, and the other will lead to suspicion. Therefore, despite taking a little risk, Yang Lianting will mostly choose to open up.
Brother Chong is a smart person, but he seems to have missed one thing: people like Yang can accept Linghu Chong and return to the west end of the village, because there are still people from Huashan who take him there, but Ren Lingshan is different, she believes in Heimiya's teaching meaning. Neither Yang Lianting nor Yue Buqun could take this risk.
Of course, the dead horse can only be used as a living horse doctor. A drowning person, even if it is a razor, will reach out and hold it.

When leaving the court, Yang Lianting, who stared at Linghu Chong for a while, appeared quietly in the middle of the night, provided a wooden cow and a horse, informed the escape route, and finally took care of the old warehouse by the canal. Lin Pingzhi's descendants helped you climb over that wall.
While waiting for that descendant to appear, Linghu Chong said something quite indignant: Who do you think are all in the Jianghu? Like Socrates, a scumbag who is obsessed with justice and morality all day long? wrong. They are all inferior goods: manipulated marionettes, drunkards, pseudo-mothers, wife Guanyan, big and small men in the yamen, playing games of Indians and cowboys to give themselves a rusty life Apply some bright colors. And all of this is so that ordinary people can go around nightclubs, play saunas and play slot machines all day, or watch TV shows with insufferable voices and long-winded Korean soap operas all night. What if I hurt Xiang Wentian? The Wuyue Sword Sect and the Sun Moon God Sect have been fighting for so many years, it is like two giant beasts fighting in the forest, and there are countless small animals that have been trampled down.
Lin Pingzhi, who was dressed in black, finally appeared. He led Chong and Shan to the vicinity of the pine forest wall and showed them the specific route to climb the wall.
When Linghu Chong climbed up the high wall and turned around to take Ren Lingshan, several loudspeakers suddenly began to blare loudly. At the same time, Lin Pingzhi shot Ren Lingshan in the back.
The soulless Linghu Chong was sitting on the pine forest wall, with Laudno coming to pick him up to the west, the muzzle of the black hole in the east, and the body of Ren Lingshan in the corner. Linghu made a completely irrational decision. He chose to slowly climb down the high wall to the east and be with his beloved, forever.
When discussing philosophical issues with Xiang Wentian, Linghu Chong repeatedly emphasized that he did not believe in anything. Judging from his behavior, this should not be the case. Linghu Chong still has faith, but he believes in something more ethereal than Santa Claus or Peter Pan. He believes that there is love in the world.
