Quan Teng is still a relatively positive character, whether it is his self-made, wisdom and tenacity that he has accumulated a huge fortune through years of hard work, or the kindness and humanity that he finally decides to give up money to rescue Jin Yi, who is not related by blood. All of these can make us ignore his mercenary businessman nature. As the police said on the radio, the kidnappers "turned Quan Teng into a hero". I think the description of this "hero" is a bit far-fetched, but it is not a huge stimulus to the kidnappers, but also contains a huge irony that, I think this sentence is really clever. The various characters that Quan Teng showed in the film, the treacherous businessman, the selfishness of disregarding other people's lives for the sake of career or money, and finally the kindness of saving Jin Yi, such complex and contradictory characters are blended together, and various The transition between characters is also very natural and reasonable, creating a real person with a great sense of existence. In fact, Quanto's "self-made" is not an appropriate description when I think of it now, because Takeuchi is also a hard-working and intelligent person (this can be seen from his single-handed planning of kidnapping, especially the phrase "being a kidnapper and being asked for ransom" When the person is not directly related by blood, it cannot constitute a crime of extortion”), but he did not make a fortune like Quanto, mainly because Takeuchi did not have a wife like Quanto who had a large dowry when she married. This world is still very unfair, not a world where you can only rely on your own efforts to create your own future.
I think there is something very unreal about this drama. I think the kidnapping that Kwon Teng encountered is not a kidnapping with any special place, it is very common, and such an ordinary kidnapping case can make so many policemen ( At least 50) to investigate, is it because the number of police in Japan is so large that they have nothing else to do to investigate this case? If this is not the case, it can only be explained from this aspect: because of Quan Teng's status, Quan Teng is very rich and has some reputation in the society, and the resolution of the kidnapping case he encountered is very valuable, which can prove the ability of the police to expand the police's Influence (after all, a kidnapping case that happens to a rich man is more attractive to the public and attracts more public attention than various cases that happen to ten homeless people).
This is indeed a film full of humanitarian spirit. Although this issue is only discussed in the five minutes at the end of the film, since sufficient preparations have been made in the front, the latter five minutes are more than enough. Takeuchi's psychological imbalance is actually a kind of extreme jealousy. What we can all admit is that when other people have more than us, we will have a kind of envy in our hearts, but when this kind of When the psychology continues to expand, and when it expands to a great extent, there will be jealousy, and they will want to occupy their property, and use an illegal and despicable way to occupy or replace their position. It seems that Takeuchi is such a person. In fact, in the real world, the standard for evaluating the morality and immorality of all behaviors cannot be said to be absolute. We can say that Takeuchi's behavior is a kind of extreme and excessive immoral behavior caused by jealousy. Perhaps it can also be said that Takeuchi This behavior is only a manifestation of the true aspect of human nature, because many people may silently imagine Takeuchi to do this and obtain the property of Kwunto, but Takeuchi put this idea into practice. The director seems to look at this behavior from a sacred perspective, and does not give us answers, but only makes us think about this unfair phenomenon that exists in this world. However, I think the director looks at this issue more from the perspective of "justice".
Most people worship Kurosawa without hesitation, thinking that everything Kurosawa is right is a good classic, I do not deny the good aspects of this film, such as the maturity of shooting skills and narrative. Smooth, but still has some small flaws.
