What kind of name to "bet" a brother is an important basis for us to judge a person's morality.
·You can't say that Pang Qingyun's brotherhood is fake, and you can't say that his brotherhood is not deep, but the brother is not the first in his mind.
·Don't ask to be born on the same day in the same year, but die on the same day in the same year - this is just a fairy tale that Chinese bloody men refuse to give up.
·If there are interests on one side and brothers on the other, then the decisive factor for whether we betray our brothers is only the size of the interests.
Three hundred million, only one hundred million is telling stories, while the other two hundred million are pulling everyone into the theater.
At the end of 2007, a word emerged from the brutal blood color and deafening sound of gunfire in the theater, occupied major media, and became a key word at the end of the year. The word is "brother". From "The Alliance of Life and Death of Brothers", to "Famous Name" and "Assembly", male hormones have rapidly evaporated this winter, diluting the joy brought by other comedy films and the tiredness of idol dramas on TV, making people feel heavy in their hearts. .
"The Brotherhood of Life and Death" continues the previous Hong Kong gangster movie routine, and people see the shadow of "Infernal Affairs" from time to time. The story is relatively simple, there are many places that want to touch people, and there are few things for people to reflect on. See that there is too much beyond. Although "Assembly" refers to brotherhood, it is not just about brotherhood. Therefore, focusing on "brothers", and talking about reflection and controversy, only Chen Kexin's "Vote for the Name".
Many people have watched "Vote for the Name" and began to doubt the real existence of brotherhood. Even Chen Kexin himself said that "the fraternal loyalty advocated by "Voice of the Name" is hypocritical and unreliable." But this kind of thing that has been believed by Chinese people, especially Chinese men, for thousands of years cannot be summed up in one or two sentences.
·It is a brother, and there is no fear of life and death
. In the "Vote for the Name", Pang Qingyun can't help his brother. Stealing the second brother's wife is wrong; in order to preserve the fruits of victory, it is even more despicable to use the second brother's feelings for him to kill him.
But you can't doubt that when Pang Qingyun grabbed a knife and blocked arrows for Wuyang and Erhu, he regarded them as brothers in his heart, and you can't doubt that the madness of Pang Qingyun when he found out that Wuyang was missing on the battlefield was a disguise. Of course, you have no reason to doubt the position of the word "brother" in the minds of Erhu and Wuyang.
So it can be concluded that all three people were once people who could die for each other. Based on this, can you deny the existence of brotherhood?
But in a deep analysis, why can they easily put brotherhood above life and death? But in the end, the brotherhood was ruined by others.
Or, is it more accurate to say that they put life and death behind brotherhood.
What kind of era was that? It is easy to be killed on the battlefield, and it is easy to starve to death when not on the battlefield. The head is tied to the belt of the trousers. May be lost at any time. Moreover, the pain brought by living often makes people feel that life is better than death. Therefore, life is not a valuable thing, and you may not be able to save it if you want to protect it. Since most of the things are going to be lost, why not just throw them away for the brothers? Therefore, for a person who values loyalty, losing his life for his brother is a more cost-effective choice.
Therefore, troubled times are not only easy to produce heroes, but also easy to produce brothers who share weal and woe. The times when we were down together were our warmest moments.
But now, everyone is living very well, so life is valuable. Relatively speaking, brothers who can stick swords in both sides are rare or even extinct.
·The multiple-choice questions in front of the brothers
But then again, it is better to die than live. Life is one of the most important things in life. Brotherhood can make life and death stand behind, which shows that the brotherhood of two sides is precious even in ancient times.
But brotherhood is still not necessarily the most important thing in life.
Everyone has a sort of order in their hearts, about life, brotherhood, love, money, fame and so on.
For example, in Wuyang's heart, brotherhood is the first. And then maybe his own life.
For example, in Erhu's heart, brotherhood is also the first thing to do. Second, it may be his lotus. Again, maybe it was the lives of those villagers... in the end it was his own life.
But in Pang Qingyun's heart, although brotherhood was once ranked before life and death, but later, in his mind, there were more important things than brotherhood, such as the position of the governor, such as the life of the so-called Jiangsu people, such as the orders of the imperial court...
So , You can't say that Pang Qingyun's brotherhood is fake, and you can't say that his brotherhood is not deep, but the brother is not the first in his mind.
But the result of this is the asymmetry in emotional performance - on the one hand, Zhao Erhu fell into the trap alone to save his life, and on the other hand, he killed his second brother for the so-called overall situation. But in any case, in
Wuyang's view, the eldest brother kills the second brother, no matter what the reason is, it is betrayal or deception
.
It is thought that the second sister-in-law made the eldest brother kill the second brother. He didn't even suspect another factor - the governor's seat. This can only show that he has no ambitions and has no concept of the governor's seat.
But we know that it was the position of governor that made Pang Qingyun determined to kill his second brother. Well, this is a kind of betrayal, in exchange for the trust of the court with the life of the second brother, although he did not succeed.
But Pang Qingyun did not take this as a betrayal.
Sometimes, betrayal can be replaced by other words, such as "sacrifice", "give up". Such sacrifices are common in political and commercial contests.
Although not as good as those ministers in the court, Pang Qingyun obviously understands the philosophy of survival better than Zhao Erhu. He knows that in order to gain something in life, you must give up something. For example, for serious military discipline, he can kill two dogs; in order to capture Suzhou, he must give up his dignity and ask for He Kui; in order to capture Nanjing, he must kill the prisoners of Suzhou... He really understands, sacrifice the small, in exchange for big. But this time, it was the brothers who sacrificed.
In order to secure the position of governor, and then benefit the people of Jiangsu, and save the people from war, he must "sacrifice" Zhao Erhu.
We don't know, in his heart, what proportions he had to secure the position of governor and benefit the people of Jiangsu. But we believe, indeed, that both of these desires were very strong in him. But we also want to know which kind of will made him make up his mind. Because it's about our final verdict on him.
What kind of name to "sell" a brother is an important basis for us to judge a person's morality.
It is selfish to sit firmly in the position of governor. If it is because of this, Pang Qingyun is treacherous, and it is not a pity to die.
Benefiting the people of Jiangsu is a public heart. If it is because of this, Pang Qingyun reluctantly killed his brother. He is a tragic hero who can endure humiliation and bear heavy burdens and understand the righteousness.
But these two are mixed together, and even Pang Qingyun can't tell the difference in his heart, so the controversy against him is inevitable.
·To vote for the name, go to the end of destruction together,
but one thing is not controversial: just like "Water Margin", the three of them are destined to have a tragic ending.
Assuming that Pang Qingyun did not kill Zhao Erhu, the court must call the three rebels and send troops to kill them. The three brothers Pang Qingyun will fight against each other and use the army in their hands to deal with them. Then there are two possibilities.
One was defeated, and three were killed. In this case, it can fulfill a word "righteousness" and spread a good story.
The second is to defeat, Pang Qingyun has enough ability, then he becomes Zhao Kuangyin or Zhu Yuanzhang. Because Zhao Erhu is too attractive in the army, then he will either be "released by a glass of wine" or be killed. There are too many such examples. It's not that those in power are too cruel, but that most of the founding fathers can fight wars but don't know how to govern the country. They can be brothers but not ministers. If they were to run the country together, they would just mess the country up again.
Zhao Erhu is an idealist, kind-hearted, but limited in knowledge and management ability. It’s okay to be the king of the mountain, but if one day he becomes the founding father of the country, he will not know how to govern the country. His idea is to make the world communism and everyone to eat and drink. But that is impossible, politics is immoral, and he is too strong to fight for the sake of his brothers. In any case, his moral role model cannot stand in the political field of conspiracy. At that time, his ending was still a tragic death.
This is the ending arranged by history for the "brothers", and it can never be changed.
And many "brothers" are aware of this, but they don't understand why. All they know is that someone has betrayed. They can only use the most direct way to resist this kind of situation that destroys the brotherhood - the name of the vote.
If anyone betrays a brother, kill him.
However, by killing the betrayal, will the brotherhood be preserved? no. Never.
Don't ask to be born on the same day in the same year, but die on the same day in the same year - this is just a fairy tale that Chinese bloody men refuse to give up.
·Three hundred million meaning
brothers, this proposition has been entangled with Chinese men for too long. Let us compare the reality and the friends around us and think so much. This is Chen Kexin's success.
It is not limited to the original storyline of "Thorn Horse", and political elements are added, which makes Pang Qingyun's factors when he betrayed his brothers more complicated and heavy. This is Chen Kexin's cleverness.
Giving a story without imposing a conclusion on you is the genius of Chen Kexin.
Chen Kexin said that everyone is Pang Qingyun. In fact, sometimes we are not as good as Pang Qingyun.
If there are interests on one side and brothers on the other, then the decisive factor in whether we betray our brothers is only the size of our interests. Small interests, we can awe-inspiringly unmoved. Great interests, we did not hesitate to think that the Brotherhood would understand ourselves. We will hesitate and struggle in the middle of the choice if the interests are not too small.
Although we doubt that if we spend 200 million less, can we understand this truth?
I think so. However, clarifying a truth and letting more people know it is not a concept. If it weren't for the combination of Jet Li, Andy Lau, and Takeshi Kaneshiro, how many people would pay attention to this film is obviously a problem.
So, out of 300 million, only 100 million are telling stories, while the other 200 million are pulling everyone into the theater.
The film is still flawed. For example, when I first started watching the film, I had to keep reminding myself that Jet Li is the eldest brother and Andy Lau is the second brother. Otherwise it will always be upside down. For example, Li Lianjie should be more involved when he was nominated for his name, so that people believe that he was serious at the beginning, so as to show the audience his transformation process, and not let the audience feel that he was using the two brothers from the beginning. In that case, the image of Pang Qingyun's character will be fuller.
It's just that if everyone no longer believes in brothers because of this, who will clean up the mess?
